Why the the left should NEVER try exploiting the Bible

[rightwinger]

The left is all over the news, social media, and even right here on USMB these days attempting to exploit the Bible for their own political gain. Whenever they are incapable of defending their irrational position, aside from screaming racist/homophobe/xenophobe/etc., they will invariably scream "the Bible says to redistribute wealth". The problem, of course, is that the Bible says no such thing. And they would know that if they didn't hate the Bible and religion. It's a bad idea to attempt to quote something one has never read.

Josh Protas, the vice president of public policy at MAZON, a Jewish anti-hunger group...quoted a verse in Leviticus. Not to be outdone, Rep. Jodey Arrington quoted a Bible verse of his own, saying, “If a man will not work he shall not eat.”

“I did hear Mr. Protas, your opening remarks, where you quoted Leviticus, I believe — and I think that’s a great reflection on the character of God and the compassion of God’s heart and how we ought to reflect that compassion in our lives,” Arrington said. “But there’s also, you know, the Scripture, tells us in 2 Thessalonians chapter 3:10, he says, ‘for even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: if a man will not work, he shall not eat.’ And then he goes on to say ‘we hear that some among you are idle.’

Boom! Talk about a knockout blow. This is what happens to a person who doesn't know the Bible and yet attempts to exploit it for the evils of socialism/marxism/communism.

Do you honestly believe abortion is a modern construct? The Bible describes how to perform one.

even if there was just a suspicion of a wife's infidelity... then by all means, kill that growing seed from another man.

Wow...by bringing her before a priest with water?!?

Was that the best you could do?!?

And yet you couldn't actually dispute it, just made a pathetic attempt to diminish it. Yes, "patriot", the passage described aborting the seed of another man.

Are you still trying to claim that abortion is a modern construct?

 

[P@triot]

Yes, "patriot", the passage described aborting the seed of another man.

Not it didn't, sweetie. It doesn't say a single thing about killing a baby in the womb. The Declaration of Independence literally says more about aborting than that passage did.

Would you like to try again? I'll give you another chance.

You really have never read the bible have you?

Yes little puppy, that passage is describing forcing a woman to miscarry.

I get that the words don't go together in ways you recognize, but that's how the bible reads. Sound out the words slowly, maybe that will help.

Are you still trying to claim abortion is a modern construct? Women didn't have abortions before when in your severely deluded mind?

For all the messages in the bible about taking care of others, greed, evils of wealth

All conservatives get out of it is.....get a job

Ok...let's sound them out slowly!

And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water

So water with dust in it means "abortion" to you?

I always wondered how the donkey just happened to be tethered and waiting for the disciples to "appropriate it." And where it went after palm sunday ... and who got it. (-:

I believe in the pope over politics. That makes me a hatriot? Very funny.

No...it makes you an asshole for claiming that anyone stated they believe a politician over the Pope when it comes to religion. Nobody made that statement. The premise of this thread is how you left-wing hatriots who have never even opened the Bible attempt to exploit it for political purposes.

So you agree with the pope?

Pope Francis called for governments to do their part to aid the poor by redistributing wealth in a spirit of generosity. Pope Francis made the plea on Friday during a speech to U.N. Secretary General Ban Kai Moon.

Should the Pope call for support from his flock, in enabling any moral of, "goodwill toward men", unto our elected representatives; merely to have a better argument for Saint Peter?

 

[LaDexter]

Why did Moses "look different" when he came down from Mt Sinai??? Was that really him?

Why did his staff never have any power after crossing the Sea of Reeds / Red Sea?

Should we admire Moses, who was rescued by the Midianites, and then repaid their generosity by exterminating them (except the hot young virgins) for no reason?

No, it means a potential abortive addition.

Why do you keep dodging the question "Patriot"? Do you believe abortion is a modern construct?

Let me see if I've got this straight:

We have a fake christian OP defending another fake christian for wanting to deny food to the least among us.

Stupid RWNJ P@triot is so damn dumb, he put this anti-Christian, anti-human, anti-humane rant in Politics instead of in Religion where other fake christians could agree that, as "christians", they are following the "word of god" by wanting to starve their fellow man.

Good thing god is imaginary and Jesus probably never lived but if he did, has been dead for 2000 years.

 

[P@triot]

Should the Pope call for support from his flock, in enabling any moral of, "goodwill toward men", unto our elected representatives; merely to have a better argument for Saint Peter?

Should the Pope "call for support from his flock, in enabling any moral of goodwill toward men"? Absolutely. If he wants to.

Should it be forced through government at the barrel of a gun because the left is lazy, selfish, and greedy? Absolutely not. No where does the Bible advocate helping the poor through nor does it advocate helping the poor through government. Sorry hatriots - you lose. You'd be wise to find something else to attempt exploit. Your attempts to exploit the Bible have been a monumental failure.

Why do you keep dodging the question "Patriot"? Do you believe abortion is a modern construct?

Before I can answer that - you have to define "modern". If modern to you is the past 3 years, then no. If modern to you is the past 300 years, then yes.

It amazes me that the left isn't even capable of asking questions properly in a discussion. No wonder you people need to mooch off of society. I can't imagine there is anything you people can do on your own when you're not even capable of asking clear, concise, questions.

Oh boy....Adolf is losing his shit again because he might actually have to get a job and support himself. Oh the horrors that he won't be able to act like a parasite on society!

Here's the thing Adolf - only one side of the aisle is denying food to the neediest among us and it sure as hell isn't conservatives. That's right - it's the selfish, greedy, power-hungry Dumbocrats!

Donating leftover food to the poor was 'not allowed' at the Democratic National Convention

You are truly an idiot. Women have been aborting unwanted pregnancies for thousands of years, indisputably.

Oh man...this snowflake is in full on meltdown mode. Adolf, this isn't a "religious" thread. It is a political thread - laughing at how you left-wing hatriots attempt to exploit the Bible that you don't believe and refuse to read, for political gain.

Thinking is clearly not your strength. And it's very clear that you of all people could get hurt trying to think. So leave the thinking to us adults and you stick to doing what you do best: ranting like an unhinged, uninformed lunatic.

 

[P@triot]

Now that you mention it - I do seem to remember reading about "Prehistoric Parenthood". They were abortion clinics which used the tails of the Stegosaurus to kill babies in the womb.

Pay little attention to Godless leftist heathens that quote scripture.

Nine of ten times they are in waaaaay over their heads

Actually, the "godless" usually know scripture much better than "true believers".

Survey: Atheists, Agnostics Know More About Religion Than Religious

Yeah right, I can't count the times some homo has tried to tell me it's a sin to eat shellfish...dopes, that was Mosaic Law, part of the old Covenant and done away with by the New Covenant....furthermore it was never a sin for Gentiles

Ah yes, What would Jesus do?

Refer to them as "homos".

You're a terrible human being. Truly.

Also, Jesus came to confirm the law.

Matthew , Chapter 5

You think I care what you think of me? The Bible clearly states homosexuallity is a sin, not once, not twice but numerous times.

He'd tell them to knock it off and sin no more

So what do you think the bible/jesus/god would say about kinky sex sites on line? Things like an attorney and his wife registering to meet up with other married couples for some discrete hankying and pankying?

I ask because that same bible has lots and lots of incest, rape, slavery. Hell, those people hated children so much, they sent bears to kill them. And god hates kids so much, he drowned all of them.

So? What about modern-day "christians" who don't keep their marriage vows, screw around with other, like-minded couples and then go ask forgiveness on Sunday. Or would they even confess to those sins?

Just curious and you say you're an authority on the bible and sinning.

TIA

 

[Luddly Neddite]

It seems prudent not to quote anything you haven't read.

No one accused them lf being prudent

I was raised Christian. I've read every word of the bible, including the description of raping the girls in Jericho and dashing out the brains of babies. THAT portion certainly jives with the values of Republicans and the warmongers in the Freedom Caucus.

Me too. I always hated that the bible is so full of violence to women and children, lots of rape, incest, killing.

The last thing christians are entitled to is their self-righteous, holier than thou crap.
