Bible Note: Doc, I'm so happy that technology helped to restore a portion of your site. That's absolutely wonderful. I apologize if my question may border over into the political realm, insofar as bible study is my greater goal and I do not wish to push a political party or agenda. My own personal views on the matter is that the organized religion has handed way too much power over to the US government by neglecting to help the poor financially as greatly as would be desired. And while everyone should be offered the freedom to succeed or fail on their own merit, I nonetheless tend to find the US government as a greater monetary support to the medically handicapped, as opposed to the church. Which is sad in my personal estimation. ---- What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. (James 2:14-17 NAS95) Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your power to do it. Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it," When you have it with you. (Proverbs 3:27-28 NAS95) Reighnskye |
