Are you really that ******* stupid? The Bible clearly states where charity should come from and nowhere does it say from the government.
Damn you are one stupid ****.
Show where it DOES state in the Bible that the government is responsible for the feeding the poor and prividing healthcare and shelter.
Are you really that ******* stupid? We aren't talking about "charity" or what the bible says. The topic of discussion is about the things listed in the comic strip and dive argued that
jesus said that the government should NOT heal the sick, feed the hungry or shelter the homeless" and you are presenting strawman after strawman in a desperate attempt to defend his postion which is baseless and your own posts has shown that to be the case.
I am not arguing that the bible states that the government should do those things but the fact remains that dive tried to argue that Jesus, not the bible, prohibited the government from doing those things when he responded to my comment. So I have continually asked him to prove it and thus far he and everyone who has chimed in has FAILED to do so.
You lost after chiming in to a debate that you weren't up to speed on. Best thing for you to do is just admit it and walk away.
Yes we were talking about what the Bible says you stupid **** and if helping the poor isn't charity then just what the **** would you call it?
When Jesus said "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's" he knew that the Pharisees were trying to trick him because it was against jewish law to pay tribute to Caesar. But it was against Caesars law to not pay the tribute.
If Jesus answered that they should not pay the tribute, they would have called the Roman authorities and had Him arrested for crimes against Caesar. If He answered that they should pay the tribute they would be able to speak against Him to the Jews. Jesus didn't give them the satisfaction. That leaves us to determine what Jesus meant.
You must read the entire verses to give that one verse proper context.
