Jesus also never specifically addressed genocide, child molesters, suicide bombers, and the torture of puppies. Also, please don't accuse of evangelicals of not caring for the poor simply because they may not subscribe to a social welfare plank in the platform of a political party. There is ample evidence down through the years of evangelicals doing things to help care for the poor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881653.post-1161205889726930102006-10-18T16:11:00.000-05:002006-10-18T16:11:00.000-05:00Greg, what a great post.

It's amazing to me the extent to which Christians in the United States expect government at all levels to sponsor and support the faith. What a contrast to what the earliest Christians expected and got. <BR/><BR/>It also befuddles me to hear those one-sided political tirades from folks who are supposedly committed to a love for the truth. <BR/><BR/>It's hard for me to make myself vote anymore. I just want the kingdom of the world to become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ; for the Lord to be all in all and reign forever and ever. That's my vote. Sometimes, I get a little weary waiting for it to happen. Can you tell?Frank Bellizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949066335378651585noreply@blogger.com
