Did I say Christ “copied†anything from other religions?
I said that wherever He lived more than likely had an influence on Him. The only difference between Christianity and most other religious beliefs is that “Christ†died for the sins of everyone. Are you saying that Jesus lived several years in Egypt as a child and he was not influenced in one way or another by the Egyptian Culture? Are you saying the same about Moses and the other Hebrews that spent 300 year in Egypt and they were not influenced by the same Culture?
Other than a few other things that are basically the same, especially Judaism, due to the fact the Hebrews / Jews worshipped several false gods, to include Moloch; Nehushtan; Nergal; Nisroch and other Babylonian gods [Read 1 & 2 Kings]
Yes, I know what the word anyone means, however the text “anyone’ is referring to the “anyone†teaching / preaching false doctrine. My question remain has Obama approached your home in the manner I previously mentioned.
Health Care, “I don’t know what bible you are reading†but the scriptures and lessons from Jesus does not support your comment on Health Care. Who is responsible for providing health care, to those that cannot afford health care?
Even Jesus said that “you will always have the poor with you†Matthew 26:11
Question: Did Jesus help those that had health related issues; hungry; mental illness; suffering, yes or no. in fact, figuratively speaking, He was the first to offer “Public Assistance / Welfareâ€
You continue to use Jesus as an example; here we have Jesus not only as the Savior, but as a Public Servant a representative of the Kingdom and a Doctor “Providing Health Care and Counseling†are you saying that He was wrong? Do you think, He has a problem with Obama attempting to provide Health Care for the citizens of the United States, after all He provided the same “Health Care and Counseling?â€
So what is the purpose of the government? Even Jesus recognize the authority of “Human Government†It’s apparent that you are not as well versed in the Bible as you “think†Look and Learn, the bible: The government is responsible for “Just to name a fewâ€:
General welfare of citizens: vindicate the afflicted, care for needy - Ps. 72:4; compassion for poor and needy - Ps. 72:12 - 13; “public health and education, benevolent activities?
Psalms: Solomon wanted a wide-ranging kingdom [human government] so he might establish justice and righteousness in the whole earth. Then multitudes of people would benefit [government sponsored programs] in the ways he described in these verses.
Do recall: Ezekiel speaks against the shepherds [overseers of the people / government], the rulers of Israel. Israel has been destroyed, and its people sent into exile, Ezekiel says, because of a number of governmental sins. The leaders fed themselves when they should have been feeding their sheep [people]. They have not strengthened the weak. And they have neither healed the sick nor bound up the injured.
Government has a responsibility for the public welfare, and for fiscal stewardship. A steward is a trustee for something that belongs to someone else.
Christians will recall Jesus’ many parables in which humanity is charged with stewardship of the owner’s home and vineyards. They will recall St. Paul urging the congregation in the town of Galatia to both carry their own loads, and bear one another’s burdens.
Stewardship, does not only apply to individuals it's universal to include the government.
