How are the poor “punished”?So punish the poor because some people disagree with the abortion issue?
Ask the payday lenders.How are the poor “punished”?
I’m sure I’m missing something but are not Christians not renowned around the world for their compassion? Your post seems to deviate from that position.No, we don’t, actually.
By not supporting them with government initiatives to make their lives less gruelling because some people agree with abortion being legal.How are the poor “punished”?
So what would be better, ensuring equal weights and measures, or just giving money to these poor people?Ask the payday lenders.
The red-lining realtors.
The cheating landlords.
The slick-talking deceptive car salespeople.
Trying to be treated fairly is a minefield for the poor.
Exploited, underpaid, no benefits.
We aren’t talking about Christians. We are talking about the government.I’m sure I’m missing something but are not Christians not renowned around the world for their compassion? Your post seems to deviate from that position.
Do you think they are entitled to the money, and are being denied it because they support abortion?By not supporting them with government initiatives to make their lives less gruelling because some people agree with abortion being legal.
Do you not understand that the government is voted for by people who are Christian? I can’t see where you’re going with this.We aren’t talking about Christians. We are talking about the government.
That certainly seems to be your baffling point that you made in a previous post.Do you think they are entitled to the money, and are being denied it because they support abortion?
Murder is a Biblical term. Killing a child in the womb qualifies. Take it up with the author of the Bible.. She didn’t murder anyone. Murder is a legal term and she did nothing illegal.
If it was run on Christian principles, there’d be a lot fewer taxes and regulations, and people would have more money. It’s not a Christian principle to have the government take of the poor so that they won’t kill their children.Do you not understand that the government is voted for by people who are Christian? I can’t see where you’re going with this.
You said the poor are punished “By not supporting them with government initiatives to make their lives less gruelling because some people agree with abortion being legal.”That certainly seems to be your baffling point that you made in a previous post.
Colour me confused as to why you should think that.
Is that REALLY a Christian principle?If it was run on Christian principles, there’d be a lot fewer taxes and regulations, and people would have more money.
Yes. That is what I mean. You seem to imply that because my stance on abortion is pro choice that said poor people should not be supported in times of need.You said the poor are punished “By not supporting them with government initiatives to make their lives less gruelling because some people agree with abortion being legal.”
This indicates that you think they should be supported by government initiatives. That’s my take. If I’m wrong, maybe you can clear it up.
Yes.Is that REALLY a Christian principle?
I don’t think poor people should just be given money regardless of your position on abortion. And we certainly shouldn’t give them money to not have abortions.Yes. That is what I mean. You seem to imply that because my stance on abortion is pro choice that said poor people should not be supported in times of need.
The Bible’s many authors and their opinions are not relevant to US law.Murder is a Biblical term. Killing a child in the womb qualifies. Take it up with the author of the Bible.
That’s a whole study. It’s not a verse.Where in the Bible does it assert that?
