    Along with Marxist ideology comes a tool of their dialectic...victim hood.

    Gospel of Luke 10. A traveler was waylaid by highwaymen and left on the side of the road, the theives even taking his garments (that's poor). Influential people passed by and did nothing. But the Samaritan treated and bound up the wounds, put the man on his own beast (likely a donkey pack animal), took him to an innkeeper, paid the innkeeper about a laborer's week's pay, told the innkeeper to care for the man, and that on his return trip he would repay the innkeeper for whatever else he had spent on the injured traveler.

    I didn't expect you would. I merely let you in on some information you may not have known.

    In answer to the question in bold font:

    Emphasis mine. I don't see where he said to give the guy his money. I don't see where he didn't tell him to give the guy his money.

    You are correct....we listen to different music etc. Somethings however, are not meant to change, like true righteousness and the law of gravity. You can try to overcome it.....but it doesn't ever go away.

    Today liberals hate that he said-------------Ask not what your country can do for you, ask instead what you can do for your country. They hate that because it involves work on their part.

    The dismissal of traditions in the U.S. isn't based on typical rebellion of young people. It is typically fed by an innate belief that most American social traditions have been "bad" or "destructive". Look at the clowns in this thread bringing up spousal abuse and marital rape. As if that was ever any kind of social tradition or acceptable behavior.

    I'm just going to say that Jesus is Paul's superior, and that Jesus' words are superior to Paul's words, and say no more.

    Yeah, clearly shitty dysfunctional marriages should be maintained at all costs and people should remain in those toxic relationships.

    My view is that family values began to lose its mojo many years ago. Reagan harped on family values continuously and Bush senior
    talked about a kinder, gentler nation. Both presidents recognized what made us tick and encouraged those traditions. I don't know of anyone who wants to arbitrarily let people into our country. The problem is the tossing of immigrants who have been here forever, have
    families, jobs, and who have been allowed to stay. The problem is the manner in which they are tossed, and the treatment that they have received in the process.
