See, those good nuns didn't waste their time & energy smacking you a time or two to learn something. Well said!!!Have you ever heard of compassion? Compassion & mercy, not just the law..
There is nothing in the law, biblical or American jurisprudence that denies or forbids it..
Matt 18:21-35
18:21 Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times! 23 “For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. 24 As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25 Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made. 26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’ 27 The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt. 28 After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ 29 Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’ 30 But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt. 31 When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place. 32 Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me! 33 Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’ 34 And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him until he repaid all he owed. 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from your heart.”
Knock it off. I'm beginning to see that you are not "all there". You just keep repeating, repeating, repeating without having
read any of the answers already given to you. Have a great day Bill.
Is that someplace in the bible?? Or is that something some mean, stingy SOB said??
If the evil gubment wants to give free chickens to the poor, show pity/mercy, compassion why would Jesus object?? Why do you??
You have no idea. There are plenty of good, sound, responsible churches and Christian organizations giving a lot of help.
These are the ones that aren't seeking attention and get little notice. Lot of synagogues and mosques help provide to
their communities as well. We both know that the only time you hear about ANY religious organization is when they
get out of line or there is a scandal. That's to be expected. That's life. Not going to plat the victim here.
Who is it that comes running in need??
Yeah...............already discussed. Take a nap.
Did he say only care for the widow & orphans?? Or should he have made a list??
Many after a natural disaster.
You're repeating the entire thread Bill. Take a nap.

I'm sure that's totally out of context. lol
So you categorize them all, then hate those who try, gotcha
What is it with you and your insistence that disapproval or disagreement with something equals hate? It does not. I thoroughly disapprove of RC priests molesting children. It's despicable. But that doesn't mean that I hate the Church herself, or those who are Catholics.
If one calls him/herself a Christian, then yes.... he/she should follow the teachings of that god. This is particularly true if he/she has a penchant for running around judging others and telling them what they should be doing.
He did.
Matthew 25:31-46
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Not only do I despise child molesters (no matter who they are) I'd rather they be shot.
So why is it that you viciously name call Trump and everyone who supports Trump's policies?
If you recall, I never called Obama or his wife any names, but I did voice my disapproval
of his policies and his wife's wasting taxpayer money for her and her family vacations.
‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'
Beautiful passage of Jesus speaking to believers. Not to unbelievers who do not have the inheritance.
Also, Christ was speaking about the truly needy, hungry, imprisoned and naked......not scammers.

The scammers are a very small minority.
Lol, yeah, the uppity Christian, just remember most of Jesus’ parables are about people who think they are better than others, but find out they are not as wonderful as they think they are. There are many surprises in heaven.
As a citizen is it both my right and duty to call out the president and any other elected derp who is damaging our country and/or our people. *All* of our ppl, not just certain ones. Just like with those on your side of the aisle, when I get called vile and "vicious" names for my beliefs, they're going to get it right back.
You deflected, of course, from my question with a personal attack. Why do you see disagreements as hate?
I'm with you on molesters. I'll bring the ammo if you'll bring the guns.
How does the world always deduce the opposite? Is it on purpose?
All Christ's teachings are regarding people...of course. Some will believe (trust in Him for our salvation and not in our pride-filled selves and works);
some will be hypocrites without understanding (the ones who think they are all that and a bag of chips in no need of salvation)

fully immersed in faith..
its sad when you cunts feel its okay to lie about us.......Do your research & get back to me on that..
Isn't funny, or NOT, that you, who would deny bread to a poor orphan or poor window now wish to use them as your strawman against what Jesus commanded YOU DO.........
Perhaps you should read the OP again.
See? They think of their religion as some super exclusive club only for them, not you. It's not for that Hindu guy over there ministering to the sick and dying. Not for that Catholic lady over there giving out gift cards and toys to a family whose house just burned down. Not for those foul pagans who just rolled up to the food pantry with a van full of donated food items for their community. It's definitely not for those (mostly Catholic) dirty brown refugee ppl streaming north in desperation for a better life.
It's too bad Heaven isn't real. I'd ask to be reincarnated as a fly to sit on St. Peter's shoulder just to watch their faces when they show up. lol
