What are you on? Assumption Marathon? I don't support abortions. I never said anything about Jesus supporting them either. Let's try this one more time:
J
ESUS WOULD PREFER THE $2.5 MILLION GO TO FOOD AND CLOTHES FOR THOSE IN NEED INSTEAD OF A 30 SECOND TV COMMERCIAL.
JESUS WOULD PREFER THE $2.5 MILLION GO TO FOOD AND CLOTHES FOR THOSE IN NEED INSTEAD OF A 30 SECOND TV COMMERCIAL.
JESUS WOULD PREFER THE $2.5 MILLION GO TO FOOD AND CLOTHES FOR THOSE IN NEED INSTEAD OF A 30 SECOND TV COMMERCIAL.
Logical4u quote:
Maybe you know the Bible better....please show me where Yeshua walked up to any person and told them how to spend "their" money. There were occassions when people asked Him for advice and he knew they were caught up in their possessions; He suggested selling them (to escape worshipping the possessions, not to be poor).
Again, let me know when you have that part about Yeshua telling people how to spend their "own" money.
Curvelight quote:
As soon as you show where I claimed Jesus ordered people how to spend their money. This is a great example of why I am such a shitty Christian. I'm supposed to love you as a brother in Christ and on some level that is true, but.....I can't help saying how fucking ridiculous you look to keep putting words into someone else's mouth to justify your own pathetically retarded self righteous soap box dance. I clearly said Jesus would PREFER. That is not an order, mandate, law, or commandment. It's simply a fucking preference.
Logical4u quote:
Just how many times did you write "JESUS WOULD PREFER THE $2.5 MILLION GO TO FOOD AND CLOTHES FOR THOSE IN NEED INSTEAD OF A 30 SECOND TV COMMERCIAL." I put no words in your mouth. I understood you to say you knew the Bible. I was giving you the benefit of doubt. YOU WERE implying that you knew what Yeshua wanted. I was asking you to point out how you came to that conclusion. Still I am puting no words in your mouth, when above you state " Jesus would PREFER"; I do ask you to explain yourself (because it looks a lot like you are bearing false witness against the Savior).
I believe that your implications "are" telling" FotF that they should choose to spend their money on something that you would prefer (not Yeshua). If that commercial makes ONE mother look at the fetus inside of her like a child and not a "cancer", and she does not kill the child, it 'might' be said to be worth it. If it saves hundreds or thousands of childrens lives, then IMHO, it is definitely "worth it".[/QUOTE]
CurveLight quote:
Your sanctimonious bullshit is a joke. You try to use the name Yeshua as if it gives you some insight but anyone who has ever actually read the NT knows social economic justice was a core foundation of Jesus' ministry. You probably have no idea how many time he spoke on economic issues yet you kept making assumptions about me with clearly false claims just to try and find something to whine about.
Know what's even more hilarious? Your ignorance on the money issue. Even FOTF has specifically stated the money used to pay for their commercial came from outside donations and was not taken from their general fund. If FOTF was one hundred percent behind the justification to spend $2.5 million for 30 seconds then why didn't they take it from their own general funds? Why was it so embarrassing they went out of their way to say the money came from somewhere else? (rhetorical. I don't expect a shred of honesty from you.)[/QUOTE]
Is this more of the side track, distract method? We were not discussing the economics lessons in the NT. We were conflicting over "what would Jesus do". You have stated repeatedly the money should be spent on the less fortunate (like there could be any less fortunate than those killed, just because they are ALIVE).
I have asked you to back it up, where did Yeshua ever walk up to someone, spending money and recommend where they should spend the money (you have implied you ARE a Biblical scholar, so you might know this). Please educate this person that has " ignorance on the money issue" and doesn't have "a shred of honesty". Maybe you prefer the corrupt church of the inquisition, you would have made a good pope: don't argue, I said it, that makes it so.
I find it amusing how you change your stance:
first it is about the audacity to run an ad supporting the choice of life
then it is "Jesus" would have wanted the money spent on other causes
then it is about the money could be better spent
then it is about where the money originated
then it is about FotF being totally committed
Do you have other issues with this? Or are you done?
