I believe that Jesus told the rich guy to sell and/or give away ALL his wealth and follow Him.
The rich guy wasn't tooooo comfortable with that option.
HOWEVER....
Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at." 16They brought one. And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" And they said to Him, "Caesar's." 17And Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at Him.

Quoted from Libertarian4life

You should ask for a refund from seminary school.

Overtaxed people complaining of homes being taken to finance the rich, are not the lowest scum of the Earth.

You support these actions.

You support kicking people to the curb for not having enough money to support the wealthy.

You have completely misinterpreted every single word of Jesus Christ.

You are an epic failure of a Christian.

And you boast about your intolerance, and constantly berate people for not supporting taking homes and selling them off to support corporate welfare.

Yep, you brag about the pain and injustice being inflicted on the taxpayers and celebrate their demise.

And of course you work for a tax exempt business too.

I'm trying to imagine Jesus stomping on the necks of taxpayers and calling them the scum of the Earth for not giving all their worldly possessions freely to the rich.

You are a proud welfare queen.

Quoted Text

I'm trying to imagine Jesus stomping on the necks of taxpayers and calling them the scum of the Earth for not giving all their worldly possessions freely to the rich.

And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the multitude were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums.  And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent.  And calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on."

Mark 12:41-44

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

I would much rather live a life that is hope-filled ...

It's easy to live a life that is hope filled when you don't have a financial care in the world, you never have to worry about losing your home because you can't afford to pay the taxes of billionaires.  

It's easy to cheer for others to pay high taxes when you don't have any financial obligations.

It's easy to life a hope filled life when you have a nice roof over your head and you don't have the financial obligations that go with it.  People who live a hope filled lives know that they are getting everything handed to them on a silver platter by their two mommies some day when mommies pass.

But these poor burned out people probably worked hard for what little they had, couldn't even afford to pay for renters insuance because they were forced to  the taxes of Mccarthy's rich political cronies.  

No need to respond to ignorant and purposely misleading comments from FIBertarian and those of a similar ilk -- the lowest form of scum that hijack a simple, non-political, non-confrontational thread, which was only intended to update the community on the response to one tragedy and inform about the needs created by another tragedy, for their own despicable, relentless, constantly negative diatribe.   Fortunately, the GOOD neighbors in our community far outnumber the  hate-filled BAD neighbors.

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

...comments from FIBertarian and those of a similar ilk -- the lowest form of scum.

Because caring for people instead of corporate welfare queens is just a big lowlife scumbag lie.

Did your seminary school preach hatred and intolerance, or are you regurgitating the words of your corporate lords?

You constantly call me names for caring about people, instead of caring about how to take their money and homes to finance your false monetary idols.

Does your church also preach hatred and intolerance of the poor, and praise the corporate welfare kings?

Here, I'll answer for you:

(yawn) Boorish boring lowlife scum babble. Let them eat cake.

He failed in the seminary

he failed in his insurance job

He failed at being an adult

Heck, he lived with his two subsitute mommies while his parents were still alive, does that tell you something?

Just a non-taxpayer waiting to get everything handed to him on a silver platter.  He doesn't pay the taxes that the city people do.  Those poor people on Jay St paid, through their rent, for Galesi's fancy apartments, these people lost everything and and in return for these people building Galesi these fancy apartments, Galesi won't even help these people by giving them a place to live.  These people on Jay St paid to build the Hampton Inn and the Hampton Inn turned their backs on them, not giving them a comfortable place to sleep.   In return for paying for the lavish banquet hall, King Philip doesn't have the common decency to feed them meal in the lavish Key Hall that they paid for!

And leave it to someone who is not a NORMAL, independent, self sufficeint adult who doesn't pay taxes, to cheer for the people on Jay St to pay for the rich and not get anything in return.


Ask DV if Jesus supports the city homeowners and renters building palaces for the millionaires downtown, and DV will not answer.  No wonder he failed in the seminary.

He is still a special needs child.

All that is good about our community will ALWAYS have the power to overcome whatever is negative, bad or broken in our community.

You must have never heard of Detroit or Chicago.

Their renaissance bankrupted them.

They must not have had any good people in the communities.

Unicorns and rainbows don't fix tax and spend death of a community.

I wonder  how many names DV has....a lot of those that post sound like him only using quoted newspaper sayings......and supporting those

that need no support....$$$ of anything else....

getting old on this blog.....same old stuff...different day.......

Happy Easter folks
