The whole country has gone up on food stamps...be fair!
Last refuge of a scoundrel ....racism!
I spent 20 years on this problem...I don't need to cut and paste other people's posts. I also do not need to post pages on here to appear smart.
That's a Racist Document and you know it.
He got us out of 2 wars......good enough for me.
Are you ever going to let him back on?
I think Churches should pay Taxes!
American Blacks are destroying themselves. Point blank period. They...meaning Blacks have to get it together themselves...whites can not do it for them.
Well we held down people for years.....we are reaping what we sowed!
You were born a Jew?
True to a point...however, what's killing Christianity is boredom......no flare on either side. Young people look at Christianity as boring and trite....
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
I agree!
I agree to a point....Liberals defend every religion but Christianity.
Did you ever stop and think we need both Liberals and Conservatives
If you're not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart?
“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at fourty you have no brain.”
We all put Jesus in a box we like...or no box deny he existed.
The Widow’s Offering
21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Early Christian were Socialists
From The Book of Acts 4-32
32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
I just think it's funny...WWE audience is not Tea Party members....lol everybody is on disability and food stamps.
Thanks you are smart and savvy!
Thought you might get a kick out of this
Glenn Beck doesn't like the WWE's latest storyline, and WWE wants him to come explain why.
The wrestling production company has cast wrestler Jack Swagger as a conservative, tea-party-ish villain with a xenophobic fictional manager, Zeb Coulter, in a Wrestlemania matchup against Latino star Alberto Del Rio. In the ring, Coulter went on an rant against immigrants, standing in front of yellow flags commonly flown at tea-party rallies. That sparked Beck's ire.
On his show Wednesday, Beck accused WWE of degrading tea partiers with a racist, unrealistic caricature.
"I can take it from a lot of people. I can't take it from the stupid wrestling people," Beck said on his show. Beck suggested that WWE risks alienating much of its fan base, supposing WWE fans lean conservative.
WWE, in turn, essentially invited Beck to come tell a WWE audience why he called them stupid.
"WWE has extended an invitation to talk show host and political commentator, Glenn Beck to appear live this Monday on Raw, in response to a segment that aired on TheBlaze TV yesterday," WWE announced.
WWE went on, explaining its creation of an overtly racist character: "WWE is creating a rivalry centered on a topical subject that has varying points of view. This storyline was developed to build the Mexican American character Del Rio into a hero given WWE's large Latino base, which represents 20 percent of our audience."
In another twist, Swagger was arrested and charged in Gulfport, Miss., late Tuesday night, the Associated Press reported. At least one wrestling publication has speculated that WWE could choose to replace Swagger in the match - effectively granting Beck his wish that the xenophobic Wrestlemania storyline cease.

Ineresting view....I have always thought this
Many scholars see another historical allusion in Mk 5:8-13 to a 'Legion' which had a pig as its emblem and which Josephus tells us remained in Jerusalem in the war's aftermath (Wars of the Jews 7.1.3). William Harwood writes in Mythology's Last Gods: "Since the fall of the city a few months earlier [in 70 C.E.], Jerusalem had been occupied by the Roman Tenth Legion [X Fretensis], whose emblem was a pig. Mark's reference to about two thousand pigs, the size of the occupying Legion, combined with his blatant designation of the evil beings as Legion, left no doubt in Jewish minds that the pigs in the fable represented the army of occupation. Mark's fable in effect promised that the messiah, when he returned, would drive the Romans into the sea as he had earlier driven their four-legged surrogates."
John is interesting ....it's from a different tradition than the other three.
Raymond E. Brown did pioneering work to trace the development of the tradition from which the gospel arose.[5] The discourses seem to be concerned with the actual issues of the church-and-synagogue debate at the time when the Gospel was written[6]. It is notable that, in the gospel, the community still appears to define itself primarily against Judaism, rather than as part of a wider Christian church.[7] Though Christianity started as a movement within Judaism, gradually Christians and Jews became bitterly opposed.[8]
John presents a "higher" Christology than the synoptics, meaning that it describes Jesus as the incarnation of the divine Logos through whom all things were made, as the object of veneration,[9] and more explicitly as God incarnate.[10] Only in John does Jesus talk at length about himself and his divine role, often shared with the disciples only. Against the synoptics, John focuses largely on different miracles (including resurrecting Lazarus), given as signs meant to engender faith. Synoptic elements such as parables and exorcisms are not found in John. It presents a realized eschatology in which salvation is already present for the believer.

Here you go......Bread and Circuses
This phrase originates from Rome in Satire X of the Roman satirist and poet Juvenal (circa 100 A.D.). In context, the Latin metaphor panem et circenses (bread and circuses) identifies the only remaining cares of a new Roman populace which cares not for its historical birthright of political involvement. Here Juvenal displays his contempt for the declining heroism of his contemporary Romans.[5] Roman politicians devised a plan in 140 B.C. to win the votes of these new citizens: giving out cheap food and entertainment, "bread and circuses", would be the most effective way to rise to power.
… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses[6]
[...] iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli / uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim / imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se / continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, / panem et circenses. [...]
(Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81)[/color]
Juvenal here makes reference to the Roman practice of providing free wheat to Roman citizens as well as costly circus games and other forms of entertainment as a means of gaining political power. The Annona (grain dole) was begun under the instigation of the popularis politician Gaius Sempronius Gracchus in 123 B.C.; it remained an object of political contention until it was taken under the control of the autocratic Roman emperors.
