    You talk about how much you care for the poor and needy but as far as anyone on the Board knows that is simply talk. The one thing we do know about you Crabbie is that you support the slaughter of the unborn because you admit that you support the party that celebrates the continuation of that slaughter. No one would lie about supporting that slaughter, 55 million and counting!

    The following mentioned study by MIT seems to shed some more light on this. According to their study, "conservatives" gave more to religious organizations and it didn't necessarily funnel down to the poor. Whereas the "liberals" tended to give more directly to humanitarian organizations.

    This is EXACTLY what the MIT study found. And I believe this is one of the things that make people in the church look to be less concerned about anyone but themselves.

    We've somewhat adopted the same routine we have with sharing the Gospel which is "Get them to the church and the Pastor(ala the church) will take care of it".

    Instead of being hands on ourselves, individually, we tend to be content to just write a check or put some money in a plate and let "the church" do it.

    And I repeat, left or right or whatever they want to call you, you continue to consistently display a spirit more in line with the teachings of Christ than do the majority of them.

    Let's check that out, boy. Have you ever taken any kind of oath? Have you ever called anyone a fool, and thus are in danger of hell fire? Do you believe Jesus is the one and only way to the Father? Have you ever taken a whip to anyone buying and selling, especially crookedly, in the purpose of worship? Do you believe divorce and remarriage, except it be for fornication, is adultery?.

    Now, as I cannot recall a post you have ever made that is not political, is politics the most important air of influence that you presume for yourself? I'm sure you know that I'm also asking if it's more important to you than the gospel. Does politics form your doctrine, or does doctrine form your politics?

    I am afraid that Marxism formed his politics as it has much of the elitist democrat leftists!

    Yes, served in the military and received an honorable discharge.

    How about you?


    Probably when I was a kid, but not for at least 60 years.

    How about you?



    Yes.

    How about you?


    No, never involved in the merchant business.

    Yes.

    How about you?


    Here is my. I believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I believe he taught and lived a life in service to others. I try to do the same. So, my doctrine influences my political thinking in that if it hurts others I do not like it. Currently the GOP is bent on hurting just about everyone except the rich IMHO.

    How about you?

    So why did you defy Jesus and take an oath?
    And no, a navy recruiter told me that with my hip joint and limp, I could not get in, so I didn't pursue that any further. Then years later, after I applied for graduation and the service knew I was also a flyer, I got a card offering me a test ride in a Tomcat from the Naval Air Station. But I sent back the card with the info requested, including that I was 29, while the navy's maximum age to train a pilot was 27 (at that time). I heard nothing further.

    I haven't lived 60 years yet. But I can't remember doing so.
    But 60 years will be crushed into a ratio of a trillion to one, then a trillion trillion to one for eternal damnation, which Jesus said is in store for anyone who calls someone a fool.

    Yes.

    I didn't ask if you were ever in the merchant business. I asked if you had ever taken a whip to buyers and sellers, following the example of Jesus. Have you?

    Yes, with the addition in I Corinthians 7, that a believer who is abandoned by an unbelieving spouse is "not bound" in such a case.

    With the world as it is, with limited resources, limited money, et al, if you help someone you are going to hurt someone else. If you think what Jesus said should be put into law, then don't disparage anyone else for thinking so, and don't condemn for putting only some of what he said into law, as you obviously do. And you obviously have a like for judging, which he said not to do. But as long as you think if what Jesus said or did that sounds left-wing or agnostic, you can put that into your laws, and hurt somebody that 'needs' to be hurt, you will remain the troll that you are, motivated so obviously by socialist philosophy rather than all the teaching of Jesus.

    Which brings us back to that question I have asked you a couple of dozen or more times and you have refused to answer:-- Yes or No: Should scripture be the basis of our laws?
