Just spit my tea out! LOL1

Amen. Actually, Scripture even takes it a step FURTHER. If they are feeding the hungry only because God said so, then their motives are wrong. Big buzzer and thumbs down. Scripture says IF ye give, give with a glad heart. Jus sayin :sorry:

Not so sure. I think you may have missed a paragraph or two... This is how God feels about the "unrepentant" you condemn so harshly: 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but...

Something has been bugging me since your first post. Just a few observations niggling, like an itch? First, the Gospel of Grace by definition is a theological ideology that says that God's love is available to the entire world (John 3:16) even those who haven't accepted the grace freely...

I have to ask a question. Where in the Bible does it reject the notion that anyone can be celibate?

I agree. But not all American Christians :grouppray:

1 Corinthians 3:13-15 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work...

Thank you, I have. The problem is my jobs require me to work through most of the day, and I literally can't get around that without leaving one. I can't afford the fees now and I definitely couldn't if I were to leave one of my positions. I need to learn to drive and then maintain a car before...

Couldn't they have spread the Gospel to the Atheist Coalition? Or are atheists not worthy to receive the message?

Thank you for your kind words. I actually work for Lifetouch corporation - but the studio is inside JCP. I'm more than positive they will have a job for me elsewhere if it comes to JcP closing. Truth be told I'm looking to work for myself eventually. Photography is my life, and I have a passion...

I work at the Portrait Studio inside JCPenney. Even with experience (3 years of verifiable experience, including a print and digital portfolio) I was hired at $8.50 an hour. This is a skilled trade, but still, retail is retail. The issue I have is that people demonize Walmart when they...

Ethically this is horribly wrong. From a Christian, a Biblical, standpoint.... Still wrong. Why is there even a debate? Can someone riddle me THAT?!

The local walmart where I live pays new employees $8.00 an hour. Macy's, JC Penney, and Sears pay minimum wage. I've said it for years. At least walmart employees can afford to shop where they work :doh:

Yea. Its not fair but it IS true.

$0.79 here WHOOT! We could turn this into one of those word game threads ya know. "Recreation in American Politics - what is the price of soda where you live?" :angel: :holy:

When a person is without employment, they will need more than simply snap benefits to survive. So it stands to reason that there is some form of income there - such as TANF, GA, SSI/SSD, or UC benefits. That income will also reduce the amount of SNAP given. I have helped numerous people...

:thumbsup: That's what I said too lol

The maximum benefit amount varies by state.

Well I guess in my mind the goal would be (at least was for me when I was left with no income) to find work and therefore no longer have to rely on food stamps. I do disagree with the OP as far as taking an average and making it an absolute, but I get a kindasorta twitch about the idea that a...

I think the issue is that the $135 figure is average spending, rather than the average SNAP payout. When I had no income for a bit, I was receiving $426 for 4 people. When I got a job making roughly $900 a month, my SNAP went down to $248. It isn't a flat rate for everyone regardless of what...
