It isn’t your money .
**** There is no operations structure for federal taxes to pay for any program ever. All federal spending is newly created currency. The dollar is an I.O.U. for tax credit first and legal tender second. When dollars are collected for any fee or tax it is recorded as paid and deleted as paid .***
Oh please stop .

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

What a silly comment! LOL! Not one person has ever been able to “follow all the rules” in the Bible…..IOW we all sin! That is why Jesus was born, died on the cross, was buried and then arose three days later, in order for anyone to be saved upon repentance and accepting His gift of salvation!

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

That is such a d********g dishonest statement! We have had this conversation before…..I guess you forgot! Republicans give more than Democrats……..That’s just a fact! Republicans go to church more often than Democrats…….That’s just a fact!

And then there was that “summer of love”…….remember that summer? Those i***ts that was responsible for millions of dollars of destruction and of violence were not showing love and they weren’t Jesus nuts or conservatives! 👿

It seems as if Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on anything, even when it comes to decisions that have nothing to do with politics: where to live, what television shows to watch, and even what to name children. How far do these differences really extend, and to what extent are they driven by policy disagreements? In a recent article in Political Behavior, we explore these questions by looking at partisan differences in an important, yet relatively unexamined apolitical activity – charitable giving.

Over three-quarters of US charities’ revenues come from donations by individuals, and we used these individual giving decisions to learn about differences in “apolitical” behaviour by partisans. In three surveys, we asked whether Republicans and conservatives give more or less to charity than Democrats and liberals. While political identity and giving are measured slightly differently across the surveys, the results are consistent: Republicans and conservatives report donating between $60 and $160 more per year to charity than Democrats and liberals. This result holds even when we account for socio-economic measures that are correlated both with political identity and charitable giving. The baseline difference in giving behaviour comports with what others have found: partisanship is a dividing line not only in terms of choosing candidates and policies, but also in how partisans spend their disposable income.

But it is ok for ‘religious’ people to take one Lividicus law as justification for gay h**e but ignore the rest of the laws in the same chapter?

It is ok to, figuratively speaking, stone gays, but adulterers, eating shellfish, wearing gold etc. etc. are ok?

As for forgiveness. That is a s**m. In reality, not fairy tale religion, we are accountable for all of our actions.

Priest, parasites, the original socialist made up rules and doctrine to provide themselves with income. In ever culture.

Way before the Jews and Christians if history serves.

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

For years you have been attempting to push the Old Testament laws in Leviticus onto Christians of today. Let me give you a simple to understand Bible lesson from Got Questions.com!

We do not h**e gays……..however, we will never accept same sex SEX! The Bible teaches us that it is considered an a*********n by God.


Do Christians have to obey the Old Testament law?


The key to understanding the relationship between the Christian and the Law is knowing that the Old Testament law was given to the nation of Israel, not to Christians. Some of the laws were to reveal to the Israelites how to obey and please God (the Ten Commandments, for example). Some of the laws were to show the Israelites how to worship God and atone for sin (the sacrificial system). Some of the laws were intended to make the Israelites distinct from other nations (the food and clothing rules). None of the Old Testament law is binding on Christians today. When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23–25; Ephesians 2:15).

In place of the Old Testament law, Christians are under the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2), which is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). If we obey those two commands, we will be fulfilling all that Christ requires of us: “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:40). Now, this does not mean the Old Testament law is irrelevant today. Many of the commands in the Old Testament law fall into the categories of “loving God” and “loving your neighbor.” The Old Testament law can be a good guidepost for knowing how to love God and knowing what goes into loving your neighbor. At the same time, to say that the Old Testament law applies to Christians today is incorrect. The Old Testament law is a unit (James 2:10). Either all of it applies, or none of it applies. If Christ fulfilled some of it, such as the sacrificial system, He fulfilled all of it.

“This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3). The Ten Commandments were essentially a summary of the entire Old Testament law. Nine of the Ten Commandments are clearly repeated in the New Testament (all except the command to observe the Sabbath day). Obviously, if we are loving God, we will not be worshiping false gods or bowing down before idols. If we are loving our neighbors, we will not be murdering them, lying to them, committing adultery against them, or coveting what belongs to them. The purpose of the Old Testament law is to convict people of our inability to keep the law and point us to our need for Jesus Christ as Savior (Romans 7:7-9; Galatians 3:24). The Old Testament law was never intended by God to be the universal law for all people for all of time. We are to love God and love our neighbors. If we obey those two commands faithfully, we will be upholding all that God requires of us.

Riley, we've had this conversation before. You are still full of it, my friend. You need to take a philosophical laxative.
In the first place, there is much more than one verse in the Bible condemning homosexuality. In the second place, no true Christian H**ES gay people. We disagree, we reject their choices, we protect our children from them, and we do not want to be any part of their life style. But none of that is the same as hatred. No Christian wishes them ill.....we just want to see them become Christians, and to stop accepting sin in their lives as being okay.
And God's forgiveness is not a s**m. I AM accountable for my actions.....I am accountable to society here on the Earth, and I am accountable to God for everything as well. His forgiveness of my sins is a response to my choices. His lack of forgiveness of YOUR sins is, likewise, a direct result of YOUR choices.
Priests, preachers, evangelists, all produce something in exchange for their sustenance. You are not required to give them one thin dime if you do not value their services. Those of us that choose to contribute to them feel that it is worth what we pay. That means that the term 'parasite' is inaccurate. How is the service they provide to me and other religious people harmful to you in any way?
Your post sounds like the bitter old woman who h**es the shorts-&-T-shirt dressed young women joggers in her neighborhood, and DEMANDS that the cops 'do something about it so I won't have to be offended."
About that philosophical laxative I mentioned: Take a full dose of the Book of Romans, followed by a twice a day dose of Second Corinthians for a month. That, with a liberal helping of daily prayer, will fix you right up.

You don`t know a thing about Jesus Christ!! He said to obey laws as long as they don`t interfere in God`s laws!! Jesus Christ also said to sell your cloak to buy a sword for defense and I*********n l*ws are defense and do NOT interfere in God`s laws since defense is a natural law of God!! Real Christians do not h**e others regardless of all the BS you think you know!!
