Re: Un-American Republican Obstruction: The Senate GOP's bore on Christmas

Tommy,
 
I understand the meaning of the scripture that you have referenced and quoted.  
 
There is no disrespect intended here, but I understand more than you obviously have fathomed and/or comprehend, with regard to the concept of the Holy Trinity, (e.g.; "The Father; The Son;  The Holy Ghost);  and the importance of the Four Gospels. 
 
Although the Holy Trinity may appear simplistic, easy to interpret and conceive; the Holy Trinity is not all that forthright or apparent.  Clearly, you are missing the purpose and meaning.  This is quite obvious to any Christian who does understand the concept of the Holy Trinity.  Again, I mean no disresepct when I say this. 
 
Quickly and not to be redundant, I reference the article that I sent, specifically the first four short paragraphs which points out:
 
We have been directed by God to "love thy neighbour as thyself!"   So why have Liberals directed our government to take over this role instead of doing it themselves?  Jesus did not direct his people to "Ask Rome to do it for you!"
  
Christ told us to take care of the poor.  Christ did not tell us to have our government, its politicians, and its bureaucrats take care of the poor.  My recollection is that Christ did not think highly of the government, the religious leaders, the politicians, the tax collectors, and the bureaucrats of his day.
  
Efforts to sanitize and legitimize the evils of Socialism by suggesting that Socialism is the answer to Christ's admonition that we take care of the poor should greatly offend Christians and people of all faiths.
  
Would Christ approve of the Left trying to keep whole classes of people on welfare, poor, uneducated, and without hope?  Keeping people enslaved in dependency on politicians does not show compassion.  It is an evil crime against humanity.

Keithie-
 
Obviously, you did not read the sripture which I posted here.
Take the time to Read this short exerpt, and it's message to the
publicans, and think hard and long about it's meaning:
 
The Word of Jesus from Mark 5:
 
"I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless
them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
 
which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the
 
children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to
rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on
the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?
do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren
only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"
