Well, calling Republicans hypocritics because they don’t think they should have to pay people’s debts can easily be flipped and see the hypocrisy for the Democrats who think they should get forgiveness when they in fact do not believe in the church, Christianity nor Jesus’s forgiveness. (Par for the course for Democrats/liberals…find a nice person and exploit their humanity)
The one thing church goers do is pay taxes and contribute to the offering plate, “to help those who cannot help themselves.” (I’m not sure college students fit that label. People driving around in new cars looking for handouts, because they don’t want to tighten their belts.)
College debt is a new level of “helplessness”. It’s like giving a steer to a “starving person” who has a chicken farm. “Starving” with plenty of chickens running around, but the starving person wants beef…someone else’s beef….but leave it to the Democrats to rewrite the definition of NEEDY
I’m a little surprised that “contracts” ended up being the foundation for Christianity under the guise of forgiveness. Somewhere I was misled into the understanding that we were made in His image and perfect until the dems ate from the tree of CNN, MSNBC, Facebook, and Twitter. Once sinned and given some time it was apparent that we could no longer refrain from sin and so the second person of the Trinity Who was prophesized many years earlier had to come from a lineage that stayed away from the likes of CNN, MSNBC, Facebook, and Twitter or other evil and refused to get an abortion despite the accusations thrown her way since she was not married.
The news of this powerful man worried the government, and they did everything they could to prevent this man from having some power. Herod sent out a proclamation to kill every boy under two sacrificing all boys under 2 despite the family pleas, but the pain and suffering was of no concern and only wishe to prevent this man of his rightful place. So, the second Ark of the Covenant with He in her womb left to avoid death of the Child traveling without a mandated mask outside in the desert. However, she could not find a place to rest and was growing weary. You see there was no room in the Inn as it was filled with power hungry people eating ice cream and operating under different rules than His family and so while in the House of Bread (Bethlehem) He was born in a place absent government officials or other sinners .
We know the rest of the story. He was killed due to accusations of high government officials in which His life was traded for a thief, friends with Epstein who was visited quite frequently by these government officials with a person that robbed from others like his government friends whose wealth far exceeded their salary, from the Big guy to his son and everyone in-between.
Now is not the time to go into the basis for separation of church and state based upon Jefferson’s letter, but to merely state the intent was to protect the individual's church from the government based upon what had went on in the National Church of England as a result of Henry the 8th seeking a divorce to get a new wife that might deliver a “boy”…BTW when the government steals your money and freedom through taxation and inflation, those doing so are somewhat immune from the pain. When a bank gives a loan and defaults, it affects the bottom line for the employees of the bank dissimilar to all government immunity from wrong choices!
Anyway we are left with a few statements concerning contracts/covenants/oaths/promises . Enjoy-it seems contracts were important for Christians and Jews alike and suspect other religions also value contracts…
