It's not 'Class Warfare,' it's Christianity

PrintSmith wrote: When the whole of the tax structure is premised upon taxing to provide the funds for the public charity programs, it is pretty easy to understand folks taking the attitude that this is what they pay their taxes for - that they "gave at the government" so to speak. It is hard to understand why the chief executive of the government, a Christian himself, wouldn't set an example and give the "hundreds of thousands of dollars" he "didn't need" to private charity organizations instead of advocating that the government confiscate a larger share from everyone to fund the federal efforts to become the national clearinghouse for the collection and distribution of the nation's charity efforts.

Because he isn't a Christian; he's a socialist.

And because he's never worked in the private sector, he probably has no idea how market forces affect one's ability to earn a steady income; and because he's been president, his salary is now guaranteed for life. Of course he's saying 'tax the wealthy' - it's not his money, it never has been - and it never will be.

He is a property owner and land lord (i.e. Gods green earth) and runs his own business.

And yet his son said "And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Acts 2:44,45"

God's son made his own rules "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 "

In terms of earning your own way, that's not quite what Jesus told his followers:
"And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. Acts 4:32, 34-35"

Again, it's his crazy son that believes in collectivism. "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. Acts 4:32, 34-35"


Jesus' words are only found in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Everything else are quotes of the Apostles.

I thought the Bible was considered by many to be the inviolate word of God. Everything in it is supposed to be true. Are you merely correcting me, or are you saying that Jesus did not say those words quoted by the apostles in Acts?

Shall we reprise the ridicule suffered at the hands of the regressive left when Harold Camping and company did the very same thing as the early followers of Christ in, what was it, May of this year? Didn't most of them sell everything they had and give the money away as the multitude mentioned in the passages of Acts had done and for essentially the same reason? There would be no need to own property because Jesus would be coming soon?
