God tells us to be charitable and helping...etc.etc.

This is true. Christ put the responsibility on individual Christians to be good to one another and giving freely to those in need. He wasn't petitioning Rome to collect more taxes to help the needy. Charity is a good thing. Compelling redistribution is not a "good work".

I bet you're right. Which further demonstrates that helping them is the Christlike thing to do since they feel compelled to do so.

She's not wrong on this. Her policies on socialism don't necessarily jive with that and her ideas on abortion are in complete conflict however. So I'm not sure she has a leg to stand on overall

There was a piece in TGC yesterday about evangelical Christians feeling like they have no other choice than the GOP because of the rhetoric of the left. There has been some polling that says that to win in 2020, the Dems will have to peel off some of Trump's base.

Trump isn't losing votes, and he has gained a few, notably in the African American community. So the Dems are trying to peel off as many as they can. These appeals to Christians are simply a strategy to peel off 3%, 2%, 1% - anything they can.

I dunno. I can think of a pretty similar scenario.

Blame all the problems on one guy (party) regardless of facts and label them treasonous in mob formation.

Was it Tucker or Ingraham that showed the catholic charities over run from the southern border to Maine and Portland where Obama dumped illegals for the votes.

2 Thessalonians 3:10

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

So, when she supports passing abortion laws allowing late term abortion she is supporting killing Jesus Christ

Interesting. I wonder if she would crumple and cry over seeing babies killed.

Dems are certainly more christlike on most issues than republicans are

A few months ago the democrats called this a manufactured crisis. Now this is all they have to run on is the same thing Obama did at the border in 2014; but now they suddenly care for political points.

Not at all. Being "Christlike" is to be obedient to the law in both actions and intentions. When a party denies God and His authority and seeks to make the government into a god, no "good" done by said government is "Christlike".

So now the democrats are cool with God? They booed Him at their convention in 2012. Another example that the cucks don't truly believe in anything

I’ve actually argued this is the case for a long time and believe it to be true. I think heaven will be a socialist’s paradise and I’m ok with that.

But the same bible says not to have gay sex, unmarried sex, lust, steal, break the law, be lazy, be unemployed, not value life, cheat on taxes, be greedy, be envious of other’s possessions, and a bunch of other stuff that aren’t applicable to her entire world view.

While I do think we need to be infinitely more charitable, it doesn’t say taking away from my neighbor to do that.

I’m not saying republicans are any better, but personal responsibility is in the New Testament bigly.

Proof that Libs are losing the argument is when they try to use the word of God as an argument, all while they are supporting the violation of commandment #6" Thou shalt not murder".

The Young Turks recently used the Old Testament to justify abortion. This is not a new thing for them.
