This American tradition Christianity ‘stuff’ must drive the Left crazy.

[Lesh]

The New Testament quotes Jesus as saying that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God"

 

[kiwiman127]

None of this is part of their plan for the future of America. This ‘stuff’ simply impedes their progress to degrade this nation and trash American values and traditions.
Sorry Lefties.

What an ignorant OP.
The right, center and left all consist of Christians. That is a fact.
Grow up.

 

[Lesh]

Consider a series of five important themes that emerge from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount.

1. Stop letting obsessive worry about material needs overwhelm us.
Doing so demonstrates lack of trust in God (“little faiths,” Matt. 6:30; Luke 12:28). Through such paralyzing anxiety we become enslaved to money (Matt. 6:24–25) and act like those outside God’s family.

2. Grow our trust in God’s provision for material needs.
Nature offers a daily reminder: if God provides food for birds and beauty for flowers, God can provide for his children, who are more valuable to him (Matt. 6:26; Luke 12:26). Trusting in God frees us to pursue God’s kingdom as a number one priority (Matt. 6:33; Luke 12:31).

3. Be thankful to God for past provision of material needs.
God already knows and cares about our material needs (Matt. 6:32; Luke 12:30).

4. Manage wisely the finances God entrusts to our care, with an eye on the future.
Jesus commands, “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matt. 6:20), giving our uppermost attention and ambitions to what lasts for eternity. Jesus commands us to become “faithful and wise manager” (Luke 12:42, 16:10–12). At death, we’ll give an account for our use of God’s material resources on loan to us, as illustrated in two parables (Matt. 25:14–30; Luke 19:11–27; cf. Matt. 12:36–37). To give a good account requires wise planning.

5. Give generously to the needy from the material resources on loan from God.
“Sell your possessions and give to the poor” (Luke 12:33; Matt. 6:2–4). Jesus provides a basis for our giving now: “‘Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom’” (Luke 12:32). With such a grand inheritance guaranteed—the new heavens and new earth involving both immaterial and material benefits—we can grow trust in God now for our own material needs and increase our generous sharing with the needy.

Money, money, money, money, money [2x]
Some people got to have it
Do things, Do things, do bad things with it
Dollar bills, yall
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar
Talkin about money
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds
Money, money, money, money, money

You're a loon and not worth any effort

You may go now

Surrender accepted. Go sit in the corner now

Liberals are such miserable wretches, I used to feel sorry for them I was so naïve, then I realized that this was their CHOICE, and because of their misery, they want to force it upon those that can find happiness from the simplest things. Boy does that tick them off, when those who are happy ignore those that cant ever find happiness.

There isn't a left loon on here that can carry water. Useless each and every one of them

What the Christian Right seems obsessed with is the Old Testament and the idea that "he gave his life for our sins" which they take as an excuse to be forgiven for any and everything. A very convenient trope

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”

Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals

Opening page - Dedication
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

"The Revolutionary force today has two targets, moral as well as material. Its young protagonists are one moment reminiscent of the idealistic early Christians, yet they also urge violence and cry, 'Burn the system down!' They have no illusions about the system, but plenty of illusions about the way to change our world. It is to this point that I have written this book."

"Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008.

A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism." p.10

"An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent... He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time. Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises....

4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."

Such a "Christian" post...

One must first be penitent and accept Jesus as one's Lord and Savior.

So...no hope for Trump. At all.

no one is forcing anything on you.

If you need religion to give your life meaning...have at it.

I actually really admire Jesus...not for dying on a friggin stick but for what the Bible quotes him as saying.

I only wish you people had more concern over his teachings and less focus on being forgiven...over and over and over

No one is forcing anything upon me? Back in 2010 many people who didnt want Health Insurance were FORCED to buy it or pay a penalty tax. I dont want to have my taxes pay for abortions but I am forced to pay taxes. I shouldn't have to pay taxes for a liberal lazy fuck to sit on his ass and survive on my dime, yet I have to pay taxes. You are some of the dumbest fuckers in the universe and dont even know it.

You are one miserable person. How you can look in the mirror and not get the urge to puke is amazing.

If any of these so-called good Christians have any soul at all, they have to know deep down inside they are supporting one of Satan's henchmen.

For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. - Romans 16:18

 

[BrokeLoser]

I am not even joking when I ask how it is possible that pseudocons' heads don't explode from cognitive dissonance.

They fully support a slimy piece of shit like Trump and then whine about leftists not supporting "traditional Christianity".

How in the blazes are they able to compartmentalize their brains like that?

This is a true, honest-to-God, scientific mystery.

Simple shit...good, real Americans weren’t looking for a Pastor to occupy the Oval Office..we needed a badass, someone willing to do the right things for the right people...someone with a massive nutsack, someone willing to spend their days bitchslapping the living fuck out of filthy LefTards. We got our guy didn’t we?

Just don't stake any claim to, or whine about a lack of, "traditional Christian values", hypocrite.

It's bullshit.

You got the devil you wanted.

Own it.

Trump may do to denominational American Christianity what he did to the gop.

 

[Pogo]

Marry three times, cheat on all three wives so many times that you call it your "personal Viet Nam", sleep with a porn star while the third wife is at home nursing your son, run some gambling houses, cheat the investors of said gambling houses, run a contest of the flesh, bust in on underaged girls dressing rooms at such contests, grab some pussy "because celebrity", offer up your daughter as a "hot piece of ass", lure seniors to a fake real estate "university" and bilk them out of everything they own.

These are the traditional Christian values which conquered all the other loser Christian Republican candidates.

Yeah.

Not to mention condemning people already exonerated by DNA because they're black. Or denying housing to others because they're black too. Or making up fake names without even disguising his voice, then admitting it, then denying it after he admitted it. Or painting his own face orange. Or stiffing people who worked for him. And leave us not forget "appointing" an AG who's under investigation for bilking veterans out of millions.....

Rump could make up a whole new TV series: "Rump Goes to Confession". Would run for decades.

 

[g5000]

Yep. He has done long term damage to the Republican party, conservatism, and Christianity in America.

Did anyone take a knee during the funeral hymns today?

 

[kiwiman127]

Christians see the left for what they are...

Really?
Considering the right is the least environmental friendly ideology.
There are over 100 verses in the Bible addressing taking care of Earth. What Does the Bible Say About Caring For The Environment?
And in and Revelation 11:18 says,,"And the nations were angry; and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints and them that fear Thy name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them that destroy the earth.”

Other flaws of the right such as,,,,,,:
Taking care of the weak, old and weak.
What Does the Bible Say About Serving The Poor?
How about immigrants/refugees?
30 Bible Verses About Immigration & Refugees - Powerful Scripture Quotes
How about hating people who don't believe in what you believe in?
What Does the Bible Say About Hating Others?
Greed and selfishness?
What Does the Bible Say About Greed?
What Does the Bible Say About Being Selfish?

Bottom line? No political ideology owns Christianity. Anyone who disagrees with that statement, is a fool.

Why do you presume that the president has any impact on traditional values whatsoever?
