What did Jesus commanded Christians?

- Use worldly resources to help our Brothers and Sisters in need...

What did Christians actually do?

- Use wordly resources to indulge themselves in worldly things, drink the cup of wrath with unbelievers, deny help to the brothers and sisters in need....

What would Jesus do to such Christians? - Matthew 24:50-51

The devil is actually being "nice" compared to what Jesus will do to many Christians in His return.

Greetings,

I would not subject my children to institutional indoctrination. I wish all Christian parents could homeschool. Children are too impressionable and our wickedness is reaching a feverish pitch.

Except that Christians are taught that Jesus forgives transgressions... the Devil does not.

Those who come to the faith via Pascal's Wager can abandon it the same way... and will, at the drop of a hat.

Dd I not say just the opposite?

Saying something with clarity might require a sentence in this instance, brother Speedwell. :dontcare:

Besides, this is politics we're talking about, and you know how everyone is jumpy with whatever someone else might say.

So ask yourself: on what basis do Trump's Evangelical supporters expect the administration to grant them special privileges?

Ok. We're not talking about that. We're talking about why a teacher would require two white christian students, in what I'm guessing was a humiliated fashion, to stand up in class and "apologize" for their identity. It makes no sense.

I hate to say this, but when I was taking my Master's at the university, and the profs---as atheistic and even communistic-ally indoctrinated as many of them were---presented their usual Ultra-Diversity chutzpah, I often found that I had to wrangle with constant insinuations regarding my own 'white christian-ess.' Of course, it was a lark on their part, and being the handy-dandy Philosophy student that I was, not only did I "apologize" for it, I took them to task for it. By the end of various sessions, they were quieting up just a bit, I noticed. :cool:

Yet because of their identity they expect to be granted special privileges by the government.

Who? The children in the article? Because that's all I'm talking about here is the article. What privileges are you speaking about that they need to apologize for specifically? Did they wear a red magga hat to school or something? If so, then they might need to apologize. But if they just got called out for showing up as themselves, whitely Christian, then I'm not seeing the need to apologize.

Not necessarily by the government - but society in general.

I for one don't seek to have special privileges for my "whiteness" (whatever that really is genetically and whatever it is in the grand scheme of things which God in His Glory has created with every other beautiful melanin level that one could have.................................)

And I sure as heck don't think the U.S. has ever really been a Christian Nation, so I'm under no illusion(s) [plural] that I, as a Christian, am supposed to have and enjoy some kind of seat marked out for me at the head of the table wherever I go.
