Charlie Rangel says Food Stamps and Social Security is in the Bible

[Quantum Windbag]

Rich man, camel, eye of a needle...any of this ringing a bell?

Are you saying Rangel is a hypocrite? If not, you should be.

If he's a wealthy Christian, I reckon so. Jesus seemed to think so.

Upon REpENTANCE of the sinner, which is not the case here.

Since when our atheistic rabidly anti-Christian leftards became so interested in the Bible and Church?
Is it a new manual from the master's? And suddenly the komsomol choir is all singing , albeit in a false tune, about the traditions of Christianity

Hypocrisy at it's best

FYI

no, the Bible does not say ''upon repentance''

...when the adulteress was about to be killed via stoning for her sin, Christ said to her FIRST.....''your sins are forgiven''....then secondly He said, ''Now go, and sin no more''....

her sins were forgiven before she even had the chance to repent and change her life....

And, when reading the "Lord's Prayer".... Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins (trespasses) as we forgive those who have sinned against us...

no where in the prayer that Christ gave us does it say forgive the sins of others UPON REPENTANCE.....

Christ died for our sins before we even committed them....let alone have the time to repent for them....

And don't get me wrong, I am in no way saying that repentance is not important.... it is important...I just believe that it comes about because we know we have sinned against God, the very God that sent His son to be sacrificed for those sins, so that us sinners may live...how could anyone not want to change/repent knowing how loving and wonderful God is to them?

So basically, by Christ forgiving the adulteress's sin right there on the spot, before she could even repent, How could the adulteress not WANT to repent and change for such a loving act?

Care

No he didn't.

John 8:10-11 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Yes He did. this is precisely what He did, He did not condemn her for her sins, He forgave her sins.

John 8:11 ? Your Sins Are Forgiven! Go, And Sin No More! |

If corporations are people is found in the Constitution, then, sure, why not finding "love thy neighbor" in the Bible?

The field of economics says you're wrong, but you have a political pick with a made up statistic. Wow, I'm convinced now...

If putting more money into the hands of consumers via tax cuts is stimulative,

how can putting more money into the hands of consumers via food stamps not be stimulative?

Well, for one thing, tax cuts do not put money into anyone's hands, it lets them keep the money they already have. Food stamps, on the other hand, involve taking money from people, spending gobs of it on paperwork, and then giving a few a few cents on the dollar of the collected taxes.

Your abuse of semantics is reprehensible, and yet comical.

He is a tax cheat that is lecturing other people about the Bible, that makes him a sack of shit.

Funny, your blog agrees with me, he didn't say it.

Nice.

Tax Cheat, eh?

Rangel made good on all his back taxes. He wasn't trying to "cheat" anyone. He had property in another country. Do you have property in another country? You understand all the rules on that? Do you even understand all the rules about taxation?

So what you are doing here, is regaling someone with a long and illustrious career in Public Service, including valor and honorable service during the Korean war to a "Tax Cheat".

Have you no shame?

He had property in another country, and voted for the law that made it legal for the US to tax that property, but didn't pay until he got caught.

But, please, keep trying to spin it to make it look like he is an ignorant fuck.

So you think he's doing his own taxes?

Seriously?

Are you sufficiently sin-free to be able to lecture us about the character of Charlie Rangel,

using your own expressed standard above as the measure?

The portion of the food stamp program that does not go to actual benefits is less than 5%:

SNAP Annual Summary

You can contrast that for example to the cost of private healthcare which because of Obamacare is being required to get its non-benefit costs down to 15%.

Yeah.

It is amazing how stupid it is possible to be and still be able to turn on a computer.

FYI. your link doesn't indicate what you claimed. It also doesn't include the costs incurred by the states in administrating the program.

It's funny how such an intellectual pedestrian like you who posts obvious points and continually fails to grasp points or comprehend discussions is so focused on people's intelligence. You've got some projection going on there.

Can you show me the verse in the bible where Jesus said charity was the job of government?
