A lot of the programs are simply tools to create a voter base for some politicians.

That doesn't fix their vehicle though. It only fixes yours.Well, I pay uninsured motorist protection on my insurance.
About what? Your argument sucks.Fuck it, I changed my mind again. Come at me.
As long as you admit it, we are cool. No having a taste pallet worth a shit which makes your life suck boy.About what? Your argument sucks.
While flawed and agenda driven in many cases ministries are by far the greatest contributor to the needy outside of the government. But I already addressed that byt suggesting that the church has dropped the ball, right whataburger boy?
So basically giving to the poor is good but you just don't like the way it is given. Sounds like you have a solid stance there. Dang evil churches.As long as you admit it, we are cool. No having a taste pallet worth a shit which makes your life suck boy.
I'd hit it
In some circumstances, you damn right I don't like how it's given out. You aren't giving with a pure heart if you're trying to grow your membership by doing it. Ulterior motives have no place in religion. That's why I don't like Joel.... nevermind, we won't take the thread there.So basically giving to the poor is good but you just don't like the way it is given.

You are correct, Pastor Cotton. You know your stuff.In some circumstances, you damn right I don't like how it's given out.

You do realize that all the works and miracles done by Jesus was to grow the Kingdom of God and bring those to the redemption and fellowship of the believers? That is the example the church is given because redemption is more crucial than just providing for needs.In some circumstances, you damn right I don't like how it's given out.

Yes and no. He desired to heal and proved because of compassion. The kingdom grew as a result.You do realize that all the works and miracles done by Jesus was to grow the Kingdom of God and bring those to the redemption and fellowship of the believers?

Hey, what can I say, I paid attention in Sunday School.You are correct, Pastor Cotton. You know your stuff.

Not necessarily but I don't oppose delivering a message and invite with the help.So, you support churches that only give to needy people if they join their church?
So, you're okay with feeding only those that agree to listen to your forced message to get that help?Not necessarily but I don't oppose delivering a message and invite with the help.
Miracles were given as a sign for the unbeliever. Jesus' ministry wasn't to just help people rather that it was to reveal to the world who he was and why he came to this world. It was ultimately about redemption.Yes and no. He desired to heal and proved because of compassion. The kingdom grew as a result.
You can use the term forced but virtually all missions have an established agenda and I don't think you would be fulfilling your duty as a Christian not to offer a message of hope and faith. Otherwise the church would be just another supply depot like any government office.So, you're okay with feeding only those that agree to listen to your forced message to get that help?

If you make them agree to listen to you to get their meal, it's forced. You can sanctimoniously try to classify it however makes you feel best, but it is what it is.You can use the term forced but virtually all missions have an established agenda and I don't think you would be fulfilling your duty as a Christian not to offer a message of hope and faith.
