I just heard on Facts matter how California has solved the homeless problem. The “Homeless Society” (forgot actual full name) decided that people living outside of a residence are not to be called “homeless” anymore as it might hurt their feelings. They are “people living outdoors” or some such. So with one fell swoop, the homeless problem is solved as no one is “homeless” anymore.1 in 6 children in the USA face hunger and food insecurity. Homelessness is a huge problem. Suicides overdoses and other deaths of despair are rampant largely because of stagnant wages and rising costs of living. I’m wondering…
How can believers bring the Good News to those most in need? Or…
I guess continuing to shame label and punish the poor is cool too.
They will be calling them "happy campers " soon I guess .They are “people living outdoors” or some such.
I don't pay taxes, neither do I owe any man anything but love. I am not a citizen of any earthly country, not a resident, not any of those legal person-alities. I am married and have three daughters -- all "unpapered," i.e. no birth cert's, no passports, etc. They are not citizens of any earthly country; they are sovereign in Christ. Caesar (i.e. man's ungodly government) cannot touch them, although the spirit behind them would kill us (and you). My family lives, moves, and has its being in Christ -- not in Caesar.Views on Taxation
Yes, that's how it works, as no man can serve two masters.I pay taxes because i recieve government controlled currency and if i dont pay i would probably get prosecuted and maybe locked in a cage for it. So i pay my taxes.
Yes, the tithe was food (OT). And I'm into growing all that I eat and sharing that with my community.I dont pay a tithe, unless the church wants 5 tomatoes and 7 carrots from my harvest and can find someone from the Levite bloodline to give it as inheritance.
"Legislation" is not Law.I agree smoking is not good and should be discouraged but oh my goodness. Are you serious?.
Legislation passed means anyone born after 2008 will never be able to buy cigarettes or tobacco products.
Legal, perhaps, but not Lawful.By then weed will probably be legal anyhow.
Since no man can serve two masters, it works like this: You choose ONE master to serve and then you render to THAT master exclusively. Which master are you serving?I'm suppose to know and live by like 100,000 laws and regulations or something to be a rule abiding citizen. How can I keep up?
