or what?

The bible says that true charity is voluntary, so it is pretty clear in that regard.

dont make a reasoned argument then.

tell it to snipy

If you don't cite his preferred work of fiction he will think you are making it up.

what does it mean?


Mark 12:42 Context

41And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

This is good. I know many of the women are going out of state, but I think a lot of folks are just being more responsible.

one of the more hilarious views that evangelicals and even catholics have is that Jesus/God, entities who are watching every soul's actions on earth and privy to the entirety of human thought for it's entire existence wouldn't be capable or even likely to adjust what they consider to be best for the human race with the changing advancements of modern times, let alone even 100 years ago post industrial revolution changing the ability for humans to look after other humans.

this is of course the same people who believe that god was once a wrathful angry god but softened his own stances via the new testament, after of course causing a worldwide flood that restarted all of humanity. among other events that killed off whole groups of people.

no no, god made rules when the romans were in power and now those last forever, plus bow and arrow rules apply to 30 round clip semi auto rifles.

sure, trying to make personal adjustments based on only our own opinions is a dangerous game, but assuming god himself has a static opinion as we changed from cavemen to spacemen is idiotic.

if a person really knows what he is talking about when he is claiming knowledge of scripture it should be easy enough to provide said scripture.
speaking of fiction how many crotch glorification pronouns are there now?

Not taking sides, just providing what you asked here:

2 Thessalonians 3:10 ESV
"For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat."

I believe that book is attributed to the Apostle Paul, whose teachings allegedly come from Jesus of Nazareth. There are other examples, but that would be the most obvious.

To your point, it'd be easy enough to counter with some of the actions of Jesus such as turning water into wine, magically transforming 5 loaves of bread into enough to feed a massive crowd, etc.

Again, not religious, so not going to take sides. Just figured I'd provide a real answer that others may not be willing to provide.
