It's pretty clear that Obama is a hypocrite by his word and actions; claiming to care about the poor, but giving next to nothing to the poor. It is not generous and charitable to give someone else's money away, as in tax dollars, it must come from your own personal bank account.
Judging IS something we are to do as believers, just find out what the original text was so you can understand what type of judging we are to do. Inspect the fruit, test the spirit are just a few of the english translations that tell believers to judge. Judge not lest you be judged is refering to not condemning someone like the rulers did with the adulterous woman. Judging the way the Lord did in the gospels is necessary to protect the church from false teaching and mis-leading people. Jesus, Paul, Peter, John the baptist are just a few names of people who judged harshly; "judge not lest you be judged" was violated by them many times and you cannot explain that away.
Paul went from judge not lest you be judged to inspect the fruit in one day. He still had a temper, and raised his voice, but instead of sending someone to death with his judging, he spoke out against falsehood.
hummmmm, falsehood; claiming to care about the poor while giving next to nothing of their own money to the poor.
Many studies on charitable giving have documented the fact that conservatives and evangelical/conservative/christians give far more money to the poor than liberals, liberal/republicans, liberal/democrates, liberal/christians.
Repent of your sins and follow the Lord requires leaving the politics of people who are teachers of false beliefs and doing the works Jesus has planned for your life which is spoken about in Ephesians 2:10.
This world will continue to move toward a one world government of people who want to solve all the problems of this life with government solutions like the democrats and liberal republicans propose, but it will only lead to the anti-christ. Dolly llama, Oprah, Eckart Toll, are many people who will use kind words, words of compassion to move people away from God.
Finding those who are lost and will accept Jesus is the job believers have in this life, being a fisher of men, so get to work at your job and quit trying to defend a speaker of mis-spoken words no matter how many promisses they make about helping the poor.
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not die, but have eternal life. It's your job to speak this truth because eternity is forever. Get to work at your real job.
You assume so much knowledge about my life yet I know you not. I am fulfilling my God given identity. Trust. And I will speak up for anyone who needs my help regardless of their actions or what you or anyone else may think of them.
I am not taking up for BHO..I am taking up for anyone who doesn't give according to other's standards. Some people give in ways that can't be counted w/ money. Is their giving considered less? The focus on money. This doesn't excuse the Obama's are whoever..but I consider my time and talent valuable when I give that for free it is MAJOR and doesn't show up on my taxs. So will you sit in judgement of me too because my giving doesn't measure up to your standard?
I tithe faithfully so my 10% does show up on my tax's, but still it could be more in some peopels eyes.
I stated that their (The Obamas) low giving shocked me too. I am sad to see that they didn't even register their tithe on the tax form. But, I don't know their situation or why it doesn't show up or why they haven't given.
However, I have to be about God's business and that isn't tearing anyone down because of their apparent lack of giving. Yes quote scripture to speak about what their lack of giving could mean, but some of the comments in this thread have gone beyond that. I quoted scripture about how it's hard to trust HRC w/ her Bosnia lies. It's in scripture if you can't be faithful and honest over the little things how can you be trusted w/ the bigger things.
So I am on my post guaranteed..I am about God's business. I will cal it how it should be called. I am not blinded by any of these candidates. I see what I consider bad and good in all of them. I have taken that into account and have made a decision on who to support. Despite all the bad in them and the good in them.
Giving is only one of the qualifications. I know a lot of people in my church who give to alot of stuff are very charitable and helpful. But, are some of the most gossiping, back stabbing, and sneak untrustworthy folks I know. So in my experience this isn't a measurement that tells all that needs to be known about an individual.
Also...in regards to the religious government stuff. I am not afraid of the Anti-Christ..no matter what we do he/she will come. The end of times is coming. I am not in charge of God's plan and I can't change what he has already written was going to happen. So if he chooses to do it this way..through one world goverment etc...Than let it be so. Fighting and fighting and fighting isn't going to stop the Lords plan. It's coming and it's going to happen.
