Thank you for providing an example of your issues with this guy. I have to say, while I not particularly wowed by him, I certainly agree with him that government entitlement programs are not the answer. Churches do a better job of lifting people up.WTF? If you know what she's talking about- how about you tell us? She obviously won't.Thanks for sharing. Alas, you've given us no reason to believe what you believe.In Op, I should of wrote instead of From what I've read he is a racist, hateful man.
From what I've read I believe he is a very racist and hateful man.
consider yourself lucky, out dear penny did not inform you of what EVERYONE KNOWS
This is what I'm talking about , in my opinion he is a fruitcake!!
5. Via the Institution of the Church
Government needs to continue to provide religious freedom so that churches can flourish and multiply thereby creating church members who become the salt and light of society (Matt. 5:13-15), citizens who live in obedience to 1Timothy 5 (see page 1, column 1), men and women who take the initiative to provide for the poor and bereft both by themselves and through their initiation of not-for-profit ministries such as the Union Rescue Mission. It is the Institution of the Church that best cares for and rehabilitates people because of the compassion and power of the transforming Gospel of the truly salvific Jesus. Many poor people are poor because they have not been liberated from various besetting sins and addictions:
Something the power of the cross of Christ can accomplish! Such will curb poverty.
THESE ARE THE FIVE INDIRECT MEANS BY WHICH GOVERNMENT IS TO PLAY ITS MAIN ROLE RELATIVE TO HELPING THE POOR. SUSTAIN AND ENACT THESE BIBLICALLY-BASED POLICIES AND POVERTY WILL DECREASE.
Snip
The misunderstandings and supposed scriptural justifications for enormous government-based entitlement programs stem not from Christianity but from another misguided religion that markets itself using the same name. Outside the explicit ordinances of the Scriptures, it follows that direct governmental provisions of entitlements lead not to self-sufficiency but rather the ruin of both the individual recipient and the nation’s treasury.
Government entitlement programs have no basis in Scripture.
May God grant you, our nation’s leaders great wisdom to transition our policies to biblically-informed positions relative to best helping the poor and bereft — people whom you and I love and people whom God loves.
Entitlement Programs Viewed Through the Lens of Scripture
I am here to say I'm sick of so called preachers who voice their political views on society via using religion and all under the NOT FOR PROFIT banner. Tax exempt.
