"American Dream of liberty, happiness, freedom, and wealth."Jesus Christ
6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.I do like that one.. Jesus is saying that if somebody steals from you, don't stop them from stealing something else, just ask them not to.
6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
6:25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you.
6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
Doug says;
I have never found the need to fire my weapon at an intruder, and even if an intruder did break into my property, his value for his own life would result in him fleeing, more likely, once he caught site of my loaded weapon aimed at him.
6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.I'm not a Christian.. I have no idea if Jesus existed and was or was not what some claim of him.. I don't think the poor has some intrinsic value over the wealthy.. but Jesus sure thought so..
6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
I find it incredible that the right wingers that claim to be Christians are complete opposites of what Jesus told them. It's like the wingers need a new, more muscular, kick-ass Jesus.. loading hollow point rounds into the 9 millimeter.
Truth is.. they aren't Christians.. Jesus was (assuming it's all true) a raging Liberal.

You idiot, those verses are for us as individuals, though, not government mandated programs of entitlements. Private organizations and church groups do more for the poor than the liberals will ever be able to accomplish by forcing such upon the taxpayers. However, to encourage poverty by simply giving to them does not help the situation - it must go further, they must be encouraged to pull themselves out of such a position. but you, like the rest of the liberals, want to keep the poor in their poverished state by giving them crumbs with programs, and then taking away from the successful as a penalty by taxing the rich so that you can drag them down to the same miserable level - - - please, man, give me a break. You can't be that stupid.
