Yes, but seems a similar enough to me. Read https://lemmy.today/post/49597645/23180760

Sounds like you lost a treasure in your life. RIP Grams.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I respect your right to have that opinion :)

I don't think we should force people to provide charity, and that's what the USA government was doing. I believe charity should be a choice from the heart on the giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Deuteronomy 16:17

Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.

nationalism is idolatry.

Thats a great thought! Looking into it, https://chatgpt.com/share/69f2b7dc-d398-832a-b6fa-ed87485b1684 I believe thats only half true. So, it's about how you do it, your heart posture, etc.

Using Bible verses to justify murdering millions of poor black people while dooming others to a life with AIDS is disgusting and sick. Jesus would have a pretty strong opinion about the monstrous belief you just stood up for.

What's funny about you trying to use Bible verses like this is that you don't realize you're accidentally admitting you do not want to give anything to these needy people and therefore even by your out of context verses you are acting against the Bible. You cannot argue for how other people want their taxes spent, you can only speak for yourself. And you are saying you don't want your money to be spent on helping people. You choose to not "give to charity."

The "proportion" part of the second verse actually sounds specifically like a tax. Lol.

So let's see, you don't want to help the poor, you're vain, and you support Nazis who have killed many thousands of Africans and hate and treat immigrants disgustingly badly. You are about as opposite to what a Christian claims to be as a person can get. If you were reading and following the Bible you absolutely wouldn't be here trying to shield yourself against valid criticism of your morality with the Bible. That's literally evil and sacrilegious.

If you want to live by the Bible, I'd recommend starting with taking a verse like this seriously:

Leviticus 19:34

“The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” – Leviticus 19:34

There are many more like it: https://biblestudyforyou.com/bible-verses-about-immigrants-and-refugees/

The Bible is very clear about treating neighbors, immigrants, and the poor well. All of that is contrary to the Republican agenda.

And yet if you use this platform for 10 minutes you'll know Nazis aren't welcome here. Nazis are hated here. As they should be, here, and everywhere else.

Hmmm. They do seem to be contradictory in the way you choose to frame it. Although, I feel that many parts of that frame is a straw man bad faith deception.

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” – Hebrews 13:2 (good stuff, thanks fro sharing!)

If you were reading and following the Bible you absolutely wouldn’t be here trying to shield yourself against valid criticism of your morality with the Bible.
I think I get it now.

It's a bug IMO, I reported to admin here. This should work https://lemmy.today/post/49597645#%3A~%3Atext=U+seem+to+misunderstand+the+whole+point+of+this+type+of+platform

I rightly point out that you're a hypocrite and a fraud and all you do is whine about bad faith. Ironic. People die because you are not just unchristian, but anti-christian. And you try to defend your support for murder, uncharitability, and cruelty with the Bible. One must conclude you don't read the Bible because it's full, front to back, of the reasons you'd be hellbound. Nazis never change.

so you're trying to find a... conservative safe space. Lmfao get off lemmy if thats the best trolling you can think up.
