Can someone here explain to me what is wrong with giving to the poor?

[kaylagrl]

So comparing people to Nazis is bringing them to true. Interesting. 🤔

HM is a blatant leftist. She tries to pretend she isn't, but that's her "gospel". Christians give more to the poor, more to the unwed mothers, more to charity than any other group. We have the Salvation Army, we have Samaritans Purse and endless others that reach out to help those in need. In fact almost every college in the US was founded by Christians. We have a long history of giving. Most every church has an outreach to the community. My little country church gives thousands of dollars each year to different ministries. We have one to Haiti, some of our people have gone there to minister to the children. We have various missionaries we give to and then we support our local causes like unwed moms that we raise money for every year by collecting extra change. All this is on top of what we as individuals give to charities. So that's why it bothers me so much when people like HM come here and attack her fellow Christians with leftist talking points. Christians are very giving, they in fact are the most giving in this country.

Oh yes, I did notice this individual’s particular ideology which of course is self-righteous and combative with anyone that may disagree.

Too many Christians have been deceived into thinking that if they reject the sins of the left, they must embrace the sins of the right.

Can you explain what you mean by that comment?

Democrats are deceiving the world and drawing it away from God.

Republicans are deceiving believers and drawing them away from God - while falsely claiming to be of God.

And everyone seems to think you have to be aligned with one side or the other.

"I'm guessing you're white"

Tells me all I need to know.

Proverbs has something to say about contentious & angry women and about angry & furious men...............

Can you explain what Christianity has to do with what color you are?

 

[Pureness]

Can anyone here please explain what a so called Christian is?. I see them words thrown around here a lot.

It doesn't.

Anyone of any color or ethnicity can accept and receive Christ as his/her Savior.

I was just quoting from another member's post (@ZNP) in which he/she suggested that the OP was wrong to accuse yet another member (@PennEd) of racism for disagreeing with the OP's COVID info on the COVID vaccine(s) thread.

I basically said that the racism accusation told me all I needed to know about the OP's character.

So you're telling me you can determine someone's skin color about how they feel about Covid19?

Apparently HM (the OP) thought she could determine that with @PennEd

One who was given to Christ by the Father.

So the one that's given to Christ by father still sin?

 

[SophieT]

So the one that's given to Christ by father still sin?

what are you actually trying to get at here?

you start off with taking exception to a response given to the op (when she made a very direct accusation about color prejudice that has nothing to do with the thread or ANY response given by anyone)

the op has a record of indulging herself in false accusations, un-Christian rhetoric and name calling and people called her out on it (again)

so what is it you are doing now? sounds like you might like to continue where she left off

the people responding in this thread are Christians, whether or not they satisfy your particular description does not matter

No, ones that God the Father has given to the Son:

“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

John17:6-8

Sorry, I meant we still do sin, but are covered by the blood and propitiation of Christ. God will always call His back to him even when they stray for a season.

I don't think anyone has a handle on claiming to be of God. Many Republicans are Christians, but that does not mean the party itself is Christian. But every Dem running for office will claim God, same as Repubs. Both do that. But the Dems have gone so radical that one cannot claim to be a Christian and a Dem at the same time. Their stand on abortion alone... It's rather interesting to me that the Gov. that lit the tower pink in NY to celebrate abortion has now resigned in defeat. I don't believe Repubs. are deceiving anyone, I believe they are very clear in what they believe.

Okay, so basically Christians that are saved do sin? Gotcha. In my opinion of course they do. We are human not perfect. Thanks for clarifying that. God bless

If you read carefully you'll see I'm only asking questions. People normally ask questions when they don't understand something dear. Now its up to you how far you take it out of context. God bless

if you read carefully, you will see that is what I did

in fact, read you own posts above my comments. posts such as this one, where you were jumping to a wrong conclusion

What part of there isn't a wrong or right answer to a persons personal view don't you understand dear. Clearly you can feel the way you feel, you have every right to, but never think that a persons view here is wrong. Clearly we both stand firm on our beliefs and theres totally not a problem with that. And to set the record straight, I didn't jump to conclusions, i simply asked a question, that's why the question mark is after that sentence.
