Cutting Healthcare and College Costs

Posted by jimmiewkersh on September 17, 2008

A simple primer for everyone wanting to learn how to cut healthcare and college costs follows.  Get “free” government money our of the equation and the costs would self correct.  As long as “free” government money is allowed to be infused into the system with its continued annual increases, prices will continue to go up to include the increases and to go up further to demand further increases from the government.

Are Property Taxes Governmental Slavery

Posted by jimmiewkersh on September 12, 2008

Property taxes are nothing more than plantation slavery.  Sharecropping is not even a close comparison.  When a person spends his or her life savings to purchase property, they never hold deed, because the state in reality only allows the person to live there as long as they continue to pay a slavery fee.  The state slavishly taxes with the lie of ownership when in reality it tortures its naïve property owners with unrealizable visions of freedom.

Lifeway is Destroying Southern Baptist Churches

Posted by jimmiewkersh on September 10, 2008

Can someone please teach the expert that Sunday School can NOT be tasked with worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and evangelism?  Sunday School or more appropriately, the Bible Study Ministry of the local church, has only one defined purpose, evangelism. 

Sunday School cannot by definition be discipling because not all members of a Sunday School class are to be Christians.  Only Christians can be discipled.  The same goes for worship as well.  Only believers can worship God and the Sunday School class is not supposed to be full of Christians.  Ministry and fellowship can take place as long as it is under the auspices of evangelizing the lost.  If no lost people are involved, then there is no reason to have a Sunday School class.

It is about time that people understand that Lifeway has brutally destroyed Sunday School and turned it into an incestuous bunch of inbreeders who are now impotent.  There is no reason for most churches to have a Sunday School because most churches do not have lost people in their Sunday School classes.

Federalist 2

Posted by jimmiewkersh on September 5, 2008

To the People of the State of New York:

WHEN the people of America reflect that they are now called upon to decide a question, which, in its consequences, must prove one of the most important that ever engaged their attention, the propriety of their taking a very comprehensive, as well as a very serious, view of it, will be evident.

When the Ignorant “Christian Left” Speaks

Posted by jimmiewkersh on September 4, 2008

I find myself at a loss for words when “Christians” speak ignorantly.  I may have to type s-l-o-w so that many on the “Christian Left” can comprehend.

 

The Bible when it is used as a basis for determining public policy for a country must be understood for what it is.  The Old Testament as it is written is a history book, poetry and prophecy, as well as laws for governing a people.   Therefore, the Old Testament can be used as a guide for laws and governance of peoples or nations, but it is not written as such.

 

The New Testament is completely opposite of the Old Testament in its ability to be used for governance.  If you try to use it as a basis for governance then you have either accidentally or intentionally misread the document.  The New Testament is solely concerned with individuals being in a right relationship with their creator.  To draw anything else from the New Testament is vile at best and heretical at worst.

 

To demand that a government must comply with the teachings of Jesus is arrogant.  Jesus did not come to have governments built on His teachings, He came to find the lost and bring them into a right relationship with His Father.  To say that Jesus came for anything political is heresy.

 

Jesus did not teach us to care for the least of those as a country; He came to teach us to do that as individuals.  He did not come to teach us to provide health care as a country; He came to teach us to care for our fellow man as individuals.  If you want to find a Biblical document that deals directly with governing a country, then go to the Old Testament.  It is replete with rules, laws, and directions for governing people. 

 

So that many of my “Christian Left” friends can come to a better understanding of their heretical views concerning the use of the Bible to govern countries:  S-t-o-p  using it to govern this country with unless you want to follow the part that is truly written as a guide to rule countries.  You look f-o-o-l-i-s-h and not very well read when you continue to use the New Testament completely out of context in this way.
