2. Social Justice? Are Christians to be social? Yes! Lk.10:29-
to live in companionship with others or in a community, rather than in isolation
Act 2:44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common.
We are the body of Christ, the family of God, Band of Brothers
Gen 4:9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"
Lk.10:29 Who is my neighbor?
Act 2:42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Act 2:45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
Act 2:46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,
Act 4:32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.
Rom 12:5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Eph 4:12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
Brother’s keeper? Did God say he was? Cain had murdered his brother, far cry from feeding him in a soup kitchen

4. Justice?
Mic 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
How many kinds of Justice are there?
Why is it “social justice” and not Justice?
Col 3:25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. Lk.6:31
Deu 10:18 He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.
Deu 16:19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.
Deu 16:20 Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Deu 27:19 "'Cursed be anyone who perverts the justice due to the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
2Sa 15:4 Then Absalom would say, "Oh that I were judge in the land! Then every man with a dispute or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice."
NIV He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Mat 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
Psa 37:28 For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 82:3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
Kinds of Justice? Personal justice-revenge, Blind justice
Act 10:34 So Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I understand that God shows no partiality,
Rom 2:11 For God shows no partiality.
Gal 2:6 And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me.
Eph 6:9 Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.
Col 3:25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
1Ti 5:21 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.
Jam 2:1 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.
Jam 2:9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Luk 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
Mat 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Mat 22:39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

6. I declare
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” USA
“from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” Marx
Equal start or equal results?
The quotation "All men are created equal" has been called an "immortal declaration", and "perhaps" the single phrase of the United States Revolutionary period with the most grand "continuing importance".[1][2] Thomas Jefferson first used the phrase in the Declaration of Independence as a rebuttal to the going political theory of the day: the Divine Right of Kings. It was thereafter quoted or incorporated into speeches by a wide array of substantial figures in American political and social life in the United States. The final form of the phrase was stylized by Benjamin Franklin.[3]
The opening of the United States Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, states as follows:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed;[7]
Marx opposed religion, private property and capitalism

8. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil
George Orwell; Political language—and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists—is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
John Adams stated: “Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, function, and division of society.”
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! –Isaiah 5:20

10. What’s the Difference?
“Social justice” is often a euphemism for socialism justice or Gov’t control and often isn’t justice at all, but injustice!
Affirmative action? Quotas and preferences, not best qualified!
Abortion – fair for who? The innocent?
“Living wage” – Chicago teachers $68k
Slavery reparations?
$67, median base salary. Cant fire poor teachers w/seniority/tenure, demanding 16% inc. in a stagnant economy
Average teacher pay is now about $76,000 a year, according to the district, which pegged the annual cost of the new contract at $74 million a year, or $295 million over four years.
Also, the median, or midpoint, household income was $50,054,

12. Euphemisms
A euphemism is a vague expression that is used to conceal a harsh reality
“Affirmative Action” – 1. Racial preferences 2. Reverse Discrimination
“Alternative Lifestyle” - 1. Homosexuality 2. Perversion
“Anti-Choice” – Pro-Life
“Choice”, “Reproductive Rights” – Abortion
“Death with Dignity” - 1. Euthanasia 2. Assisted Suicide
(Catholics and PROTESTants)

14. Euphemisms
“Contributions”, “Investments”, “Fair Share”, “Economic Patriotism” – Taxes
“Emergency contraception” – Abortion
“Man Caused Disaster” - Terrorist act
“Undocumented Worker” – Illegal Alien
Homeless or Disadvantaged – Bums
Extreme right wing fundamentalists, homophobes – principled and passionate nonviolent conservatives
Planned Parenthood?
The "Employee Free Choice Act" (H.R. 800) replaces the existing secret ballot elections for union membership with a system in which workers must publicly sign union cards; in effect, no free choice.
• The "Internet Freedom Preservation Act" expands Internet regulation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the exact opposite of Internet freedom.
• The "American Clean Energy and Security Act" raises energy prices while subsidizing unproven energy sources and taxing reliable energy sources to force costlier energy options on the public.
• "America's Healthy Future Act" is in essence government-controlled socialized medicine, harming the health of Americans, exacting heavy costs and restricting freedom of choice.

16. Sincere liberals vs. Hypocrisy
I respect those who really sacrifice and serve, however why are we listening to hypocritical “liberal” millionaires?
“Liberal” supporter - Denise Rich Renounces U.S. Citizenship, Will Save Tens Of Millions
Obama cabinet tax dodgers and his own tax return! Obama never offered more than six percent of his income to charity. Twice he gave less than 1% of his earnings.
Even all the “good works” of these liberals, w/o Christ they are still lost!
Give a man a fish – feed him for a day, teach a man to fish – feed him for a lifetime, Introduce him to the Fisher of men and He can live abundantly and Eternally!!
Nearly 1,800 citizens and permanent residents, a record since data was first compiled in 1998, expatriated last year, according to government figures.
And now the SIXTH Obama Cabinet nominee, HHS nominee Kathleen Sebelius is a tax cheat!
Count ‘em. SIX Tax Cheat. Well technically FIVE tax cheats, plus a spouse of a tax cheat. Today comes word about the fourth tax cheat nominated by Obama to his Cabinet. Today the tax cheat is Kathleen Sebelius, who replaced another tax cheat Tom Daschle to be Obama’s HHS. CBS has the info:
The wire service reports that she and her husband paid just over $7,000 in back taxes, along with $878 in interest, for the years
Here’s the list of Hussein Obama’s Tax Cheat nominees (so far) in addition to Sebelius:
Tom Daschle, the first HHS nominee,
Chief performance officer nominee Nancy Killefer.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner,
US Trade Representative Ron Kirk
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis’s (husband)
Meanwhile, Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the supreme tax-writing body in the United States, the House Ways and Means Committee, is under investigation for, among other things, dodging taxes.

17. Obama Tax returns, 2008 $855,000 6.5% Charity
The Huffington Post Sam Stein First Posted: 05/16/09 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 02:15 PM ET
When Barack Obama released his tax filings during the height of the presidential campaign, he was criticized for slightly-less-than-biblically-required charitable giving.
In those years, Obama (serving as Illinois state senator, then U.S. Senator) never offered more than six percent of his income to charity. Twice he gave less than one percent of his earnings.
Fast forward a few years 2008, and the Obamas' returns tell a different story -- both of a higher income bracket and a far higher rate of charitable giving.
The White House released the filings for both the President and the First Lady on Wednesday. Combined, the family brought in an adjusted gross income of $2,656,902, mostly from the sale of the President's books. The Obamas paid $855,323 in federal income tax. And they donated $172,050 - or about 6.5% of their adjusted gross income - to 37 different charities.
Here are the notable donations made
$25,000 to the Catholic Relief Services
$25,000 to the United Negro College Fund.
$5,000 to the American Red Cross
$5,000 to the Boys and Girls Club
$5,000 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
$1,000 to Columbia University
$5,000 to the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity
$5,000 to St. Leo's Residence for Veterans
$2,000 to the Haiti Foundation of Hope
$5,000 to the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault
Noticeably absent from the charitable giving is the place where Obama sent $22,500 in 2006: his old church Trinity United.
Obama Tax returns, $855, % Charity

18. his hunger drives him
We Conservative Christians are willing to affirm true justice in society!
However, are Liberals willing to address widespread corruption of welfare, Medicare…laziness…!! The Bible does!
2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Pro 16:26 The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on. NIV
2Th 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
2Th 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
Pro 13:4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
Pro 20:4 The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.
Pro 21:25 The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
1Th 4:11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,
2Th 3:12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

20. True Religion
Jam 1:27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
1Ti 5:3 Honor widows who are truly widows; not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband…
Ruth and Naomi – Gleaning the fields
Jam 2:6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?
Jam 2:15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,
Jam 2:16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good [fn] is that?
Jam 2:17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Jam 5:4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
Jam 5:5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
Jam 5:6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.
Jam 5:11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
Job 31:13 "If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me,
Job 31:14 what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
Job 31:15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
Job 31:16 "If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
Job 31:17 or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it
Job 31:18 (for from my youth the fatherless [fn] grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother's womb I guided the widow [fn]),
Job 31:19 if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or the needy without covering,
Job 31:20 if his body has not blessed me, [fn] and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
Job 31:21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,
Job 31:22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.
Job 31:23 For I was in terror of calamity from God, and I could not have faced his majesty.
Job 31:24 "If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence,
Job 31:25 if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant or because my hand had found much,
Job 31:26 if I have looked at the sun [fn] when it shone, or the moon moving in splendor, Job 31:27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand,
Job 31:28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have been false to God above.
1 Tim.5 having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to 1Ti 5:16 If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her care for them. Let the church not be burdened, so that it may care for those who are truly widows.
Lev 19:9 "When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest.
Lev 19:10 And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.
Deu 24:19 "When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

22. “this could have been given to the poor."
Mat 26:8 “And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."
Mat 26:11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Jhn 12:6 He (Judas) said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Antichrist wants to appear as the Christ!
Mat 26:10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.
Mat 26:11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Jhn 12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said,
Jhn 12:5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"
Jhn 12:6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Scripture reveals the community organizer, instigator…disciple who stirred the rest to a wrong judgment – Judas!

24. What about Spiritual justice?
2Cr 8:13 For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness
2Cr 8:14 your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness.
Should non tithers have same voice as those who sacrificially give?
Should we expect spiritual justice!!
2Cr 8:1 We want you to know, brothers, [fn] about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,
2Cr 8:2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
2Cr 8:3 For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,
2Cr 8:4 begging us earnestly for the favor [fn] of taking part in the relief of the saints–
1Cr 9:4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink?
1Cr 9:5 Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
1Cr 9:6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?
1Cr 9:7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?
1Cr 9:8 Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same?
1Cr 9:9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain." Is it for oxen that God is concerned?
1Cr 9:11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?
1Cr 9:12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.
1Cr 9:14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
2Cr 9:9 As it is written, "He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever."
2Cr 9:10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Hag 1:4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?
Mal 1:13 But you say, 'What a weariness this is,' and you snort at it, says the LORD of hosts. You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the LORD.

26. God expects…
Mt.25:35-46 ‘the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
Mat 25:15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. (God didn’t give equally, expected same percentage of return; 100%!)
God expects a tithe from all income groups
Mat 25:16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.
Mat 25:17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.
Mat 25:18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.
Lev 27:30 "Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD's; it is holy to the LORD.
Lev 27:31 If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
Lev 27:32 And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the LORD.
Num 18:21 "To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting,
Num 18:24 For the tithe of the people of Israel, which they present as a contribution to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said of them that they shall have no inheritance among the people of Israel."
Num 18:26 "Moreover, you shall speak and say to the Levites, 'When you take from the people of Israel the tithe that I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present a contribution from it to the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.
Deu 12:17 You may not eat within your towns the tithe of your grain or of your wine or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, or any of your vow offerings that you vow, or your freewill offerings or the contribution that you present,
Deu 14:22 "You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year.
Mat 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

28. Greed and Generosity are not income specific
Mar 12:42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.
Jam 4:1 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
Mar 12:41 And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums.
Mar 12:42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. [fn] (god sent Elijah to a widow, not a rich man)
Mar 12:43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box.
Mar 12:44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on."

30. Was Jesus a Socialist? How many times did he feed the hungry?
What did he say about those who ate?
Jhn 6:26 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.”
Did He heal all the sick? Why did He heal?
Jhn 9:1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
Jhn 6:27 Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal."
Jhn 6:34 They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."
Jhn 6:35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
Jhn 6:41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
Jhn 6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread [fn] the fathers ate and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever."
Jhn 6:61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, "Do you take offense at this?
Jhn 6:66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.

32. I came not to…
Mar 2:16-17 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?" And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
How many soup kitchens, hospitals, welfare reforms, homeless shelters did Jesus start/build? How many did He save?!!
Mat 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds." Mat 11:20 Then he began to denounce

34. “Christian” “Idolatry”
Ever inverse the 1st and 2nd Commandments? Ever love men above God? Glory of self?
Do you give to Charities or Ministries?
Give a man a fish – feed him for a day,
Teach a man to fish – feed him for a lifetime,
Introduce him to the Fisher of men and He can live abundantly and Eternally!!
Do you give to Charities or Ministries? Do you give to feed children – but they don’t share the gospel? Feed hungry – even if forbidden to preach Jesus?
Give – liberals
Teach – conservatives
Introduce – true Christians
Mat 22:36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"
Mat 22:37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the great and first commandment.
Mat 22:39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Mat 22:40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

35. Never substitute a smaller cross for the blood stained one!
Jer 8:11-12 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?
Suffering is the symptom, Sin is the Disease! Only Jesus can cure our greatest problem – preach the gospel!
Not the Cross we’re supposed to be preaching!
Jer 8:11 They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, peace,' when there is no peace.
Jer 8:12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? ESV
Act 3:6 But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!"
Isa 53:5 (ESV) — But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
1Pe 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

36. There’s a Difference!
Between Gov’t and the Church! Godless Bureaucracy compared to godly and personal relationships! Strict guidelines.
Forced taxation and true “charity” Cor.13, Motives are everything!
Rewarding the unproductive or not paying any tax (contributing) and punishing the risk takers and inventors
Welfare and gleaning (workfare)
Between Socialism and Christian acts of love – charity
Personal relationships = Individuals know better who they want to help, see character, know details and private info they can’t share. People have given me $ to disperse to those I know NEED it. Those who need it most usually don’t tell you!

38. We all know about the… Greedy Capitalists and arrogant rich!
Welfare cheats and abusers
Couple who got divorced to get more gov’t $ and a second trailer
Christians abusing extended unemployment, sickness, injury…
Exorbitant costs of healthcare to cover the non paying

39.
Is this Social Justice? Preferential allocations for diseases largely contracted through ungodly behavior?

40. What is justice or fair?
Churches buying victims out of slavery, human trafficking
Missionary stopping me from giving $ to mangled gypsy child
Red Cross in Haiti refusing to unload relief ships
US aid redistributed after Pacific Tsunami as from al Qaeda
Local couple needing a hotel for the night
Man down the road from us in Indiana who had 100s of 1000’s in frig, we were feeding him
Sunday B. and those who won’t endure hearing the gospel to spend the night
Pennypack park situation – homeless in tents
Acorn and helping Pimps and prostitutes

42. Fair? Preexisting conditions? Can we do that for life insurance too?

44. Before it’s too late
First they came for the rich, and I did not speak out because I was not rich,
Then they confiscated owners of properties, and I did not speak out because I did not own property.
Then they took away our right to bear arms, but I didn't speak out because I didn't have guns.
Then they came for me and denied me my freedom of speech and religion, and there was no one left to speak for me,”

46. Christian Idolatry?!
Many seek to reverse the curse of Sin on man’s terms! Cure all disease, change men’s hearts, no one hungry or homeless…
Many seek a premature attempt to usher in the Millennial Kingdom without the King! They will hate His rule and revolt in time! Rev.20, Ps.2
Many are distracted with a lesser good in place of our higher calling! Exaltation, Edification, Evangelism!
Many countries like America have been blessed by God! Hard work ethic, industriousness, creativity fueled by freedom, have led to our prosperity. Some countries simply want the blessings w/o the faith or obedience

48. Euphemisms
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catchword can stop thought for 50 years.
T.S. Eliot said, long ago: "Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves."

It took only hours after the posting of a pro-Israel slogan in New York City for opponents to launch a violent spray-paint attack against the message and for a religious adviser to Barack Obama to use the conflict to try to raise money for his own campaign.
At the center of the ruckus is an attempt by New York transit authorities to censor the message “In Any War Between the Civilized Man and the Savage, Support the Civilized Man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”
The message, which authorities call “demeaning,” is being promoted by the American Freedom Defense Initiative and its executive directors Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. Lawyers with the American Freedom Law Center have been working with them to overcome anti-Israel activism that has deterred and delayed the posting of the ads.
Just days ago, WND reported that the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority halted a plan to post the ads this week, expressing concern about “situations happening around the world” and the “security and safety” of passengers. A court hearing has been scheduled.
In New York City, the ads were posted only after a federal judge struck down the transit agency’s policies as a violation of the First Amendment.
However, according to the New York Post, a self-described “liberal Muslim,” Mona Eltahawy, “strolled up to one of the signs at the crowded 1/2/3 train mezzanine at the Times Square station and sprayed pink paint on the ad.”
The report said a Manhattan mother, Pamela Hall, rushed to stop Eltahawy, who insisted she had a right to deface the message.
“I think this is freedom of expression, just as (the ad) is freedom of expression,” Eltahawy said.
She was arrested and accused of creating graffiti, possessing a graffiti instrument and criminal mischief.
Tim Graham of Media Research Center pointed out that Eltahawy has appeared periodically on NBC, MSNBC and CNN. He noted that in CNN’s reporting on the confrontation, Eltahawy was identified only as an “activist.”
Geller, who noted the latest developments at her blog, Atlas Shrugs, said the destruction actually validates the message to oppose jihad and savagery.
“The defacement is a metaphor for the entire national conversation on these issues. Hundreds and hundreds of anti-Israel posters ran all over the country. Not one was defaced,” she said.
However, Geller said: “One anti-jihad poster goes up, and it’s defaced within an hour, while its creator faces defamation, smears and libel. Mona Eltahawy, a Muslim writer who was herself assaulted in Egypt by people she called ‘beasts’ took a can of spray paint to our ad and assaulted a pro-freedom blogger, Pamela Hall, who tried to stop her.”
Geller continued: “Islamic supremacists and leftist thugs criminally defaced these ads within an hour. This is a physical manifestation of the way the entire conversation, or lack thereof, always goes: anyone who speaks about jihad and Shariah is attacked, defamed, destroyed – just like these ads. This is exactly what’s happening in the media regarding jihad coverage in general.
“Anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-Shariah hate is all over the airwaves, but anyone who dares to speak the truth about Islam and jihad in the media is immediately smeared and defamed. You can’t have this conversation in the media, any more than I can present these pro-Israel ads, and receive any semblance of fair treatment,” she said.
The Post released a video of the confrontation in the subway station.
The second line of opposition to the anti-jihad ads was announced by Sojourners, the publication led by Rev. Jim Wallis, one of the Obama’s top religious advisers.
His group announced “Christians across the country are standing up to counter anti-Muslim ads” and launched a fundraising drive to support a “Love Your Muslim Neighbor” ad campaign in New York.
In a statement, Wallis said: “The second of The Ten Commandments is ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ It didn’t come with stipulations. It didn’t come with extra addendums, with added qualifiers. Christians around the world need to put that into action as often as we can, especially where we see hatred like this.”
Actually, the second of the Ten Commandments is: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
“Love your neighbor” was the second commandment mentioned by Jesus when his disciples asked him which was the most important. The first was to the effect, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind.”
The Wallis statement said: “Everyone – regardless of race, religion, or creed – deserves to feel welcomed and safe when riding public transit in America. With tensions across the world at an all-time high, the Christian community is doing what it can to promote non-violence in their own backyard, and this addition of subway ads to an ongoing billboard campaign only reinforces the Christian call to peace.”
The New York Times describes Sojourners as “a left-leaning evangelical organization.”
Geller told WND it’s “a pity that Rev. Jim Wallis didn’t get his group together to stand up when Christians, Hindus and so many others were facing vicious persecution in Muslim countries.”
“Where is Sojourners when Christians are victimized by jihad? Wallis is standing up for those who oppress and kill Christians,” Geller said.
The anti-jihad ad earlier drew opposition on the West Coast, where San Francisco transit officials accompanied it with a disclaimer.
American Freedom Law Center co-founder David Yerushalmi pointed out that under the First Amendment, speech cannot be punished or banned “simply because it might offend a hostile mob.”
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s speech restriction, he said, is based on the perceived negative response that the American Freedom Defense Initiative’s message might receive from certain viewers based on its content and viewpoint.
“However, a viewer’s reaction to speech is not a content-neutral basis for regulation,” he argued. “This is known as a ‘heckler’s veto,’ which is impermissible under the First Amendment.”

50. Islam = Social Justice
However, Robert F. Shedinger, a professor at Iowa’s Luther College, has a different argument. He thinks Jesus was actually…a Muslim. Yes, really. In fact, he wrote a book explaining all about it:
Got that? According to Shedinger, Islam is a “social justice movement,” not a religion, and since Christ supposedly supported “social justice,” that makes him a Muslim. To quote him, “I came to the conclusion that [Islam] was a social justice movement and I think that’s who Jesus was in the first century so I conclude Jesus is more like a Muslim.”

51. Where do we begin with what’s wrong with this picture
Where do we begin with what’s wrong with this picture? The first and most obvious point would have to be that Christ, being born roughly 600 years before Islam even existed, is not capable of being a Muslim. To be sure, if you believe there are commonalities in values between Islam and Christianity (which scholars in both faiths do, in fact, believe), you could argue that Christ held some Islamic ideas. But to claim that he was a Muslim is to take it entirely too far.
