I told you I was not one to be intimidated by allusions to Marxism or Communism, that is passé , no need to mention it again. Further, my conscience is clear. My sins were more the result of self indulgence rather than the exploitative sort associated with unfeeling material capitalists such as yourself. Are you on your knees with head bowed in supplication to your God? You need to pray for the Lord to unlock your confused mind. You can’t even remember what you posted…let the readers judge!dnsmith35 said:I don't try to intimidate anyone, so if you are intimidated by me it is your own conscience. I also did not say YOU said anything about America not experiencing Marxism or Communism. I said it. You should learn to read before you start accusing others. I say it like I see it. If you don't like what I say, please cursor on by.
You may have all the degrees you say you have but that doesn’t mean you have any greater stature here because of it. The WEB is full of experts in the field of economics who don’t mind sharing some of that expertise. I can pull their data up at any time I feel ”experts” like you are drifting away from reality! The left has its share of economists too, ya know! And I am not so sure that most wealthy Americans got there because they made good choices. Many of them had it handed to them by their parents. They didn’t have to lift a finger to get it!dnsmith35 said:I have degrees in economics and management and psychology to an EdS. I not only have studied the economic systems of the world, I have lived in a socialist country with socialist government. I am familiar with it 1st hand, and it isn't pretty. I could care less about rich Americans, but most have gotten there by making good choices. If you have observed the Fortune 400 list of the wealthy, it is changing all the time.
Well, Paul wasn’t Jesus was he? Who are YOU to decide who is lazy or not. Had any divine revelations lately? Probably not. You just want to justify your materialistic mantra.dnsmith35 said:What works on you is your problem, not mine. Now to the bible:
The apostle Paul wrote in a letter to Christians:
“Brothers and sisters, keep away from Christians who are lazy. Such people do not live in the way that we taught you. We tell you to do this by the authority that the Lord Jesus Christ gives to us. You yourselves know very well that you should live as we did. We were not lazy when we were with you. We did not depend on any of you for our food without paying for it. No, we worked hard night and day. We earned what we needed. So we did not have to charge you anything at all. We did this, not because we do not have the right to expect such help. But we did it so as to be an example of how you should live. Because when we were with you, we gave you this rule: Whoever refuses to work should not eat.
We say this because we hear that some among you are lazy. They talk about other people but do no work themselves. By the authority that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ, we urge them to work quietly. They must earn the money to buy their own food. But you, brothers and sisters, must never tire of doing good things"
In Matthew 19:20-22 Jesus is talking to a man like you!
