no, i admit that it doesnt say the government CANT do those things, but Jesus told his PEOPLE aka Christians aka the CHURCH to do those things, and to have the government do them is letting the church off the hook for doing what they were commanded to do
So you admit it does say the government can't do those things. That is all you needed to concede.
Really?? the excerpt you quoted "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's" says WHO should "heal, shelter the homeless and feed the hungry?" Are you sure about that? I have to ask because I don't see that in their anywhere. LOL
btw, on a side note, do you claim to be a Christian?
I grew up southern baptist and that is what it said on my dog tags but after seeing how the word of God (no matter which god you choose) has been abused by those who claim to represent God, I consider myself non-denominational. However, what does that have to do with anything being discussed??
and i asked you if you were a christian for no other reason than to know and understand, or at least try to understand your perspective
So the churches aren't doing their job. So much for leaving it all up to private charity.
