I USED TO WATCH CNN UNTIL I SAW WHAT THEY REPORTED................IDIOCY ! ! OBAMACARE IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: NOR IS HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE, LIFE INSURANCE, AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE OR FLOOD INSURANCE OR A RETIREMENT..............THIS IS AN OBLIGATION OF THE PEOPLE. IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHURCHES ! I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE OBLIGATION FOR CHRISTIANS TO HELP, IF FINANCIALLY THEY CAN HELP, THOSE THAT CANT WORK AND NEED HELP. FOR THOSE THAT WONT WORK, WELL, YOU ARE IN A HEAP OF TROUBLE. ONLY REASON THAT THOSE CAN HELP, IS THAT THEY WORKED AND SAVED ! FAITH AND BELIEF IN THE HEART AND PROFESSION BY MOUTH, IN JESUS CHRIST AS BEING THE ONLY WAY INTO HEAVEN AND ETERNAL SALVATION; YOU CANNOT WORK YOUR WAY INTO HEAVEN ! I THINK THE BIBLE MAKES THAT CLEAR. A CHRISTIAN SHOULD HELP, BUT IT COMES BACK TO THE INDIVIDUAL.....ITS NOT A NECESSITY TO GET TO HEAVEN ! IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND HAVE THE EXTRA FUNDS, YOU SHOULD WANT TO HELP THOSE THAT TRULY NEED AND DESERVE HELP ! BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR OTHERS HEALTH INSURANCE IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHRISTIANS ! IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY......AND ITS ACCOMPLISHED BY WORKING............. ! ! ================================================= CNN seems to think that the choice to opt out of Obamacare is somehow the responsibility of well-known pastors such as Joel Osteen and T.D. Jakes, who declined to comment for Blakes article. One minister, Rev. Phil Wages, said he would not preach that states should accept Medicaid funding because he does not believe that care for the poor is the primary responsibility of the government, according to Christian teachings. Beyond that, most churches are non-profit organizations whose tax-exempt status might be threatened if they became involved in political causes. Blake recognizes that, but strongly suggests that churches have a duty regardless. (Curiously, he does not suggest that churches should preach against Obamacare because of the millions of families that are losing their health insurance plans, contrary to the presidents promises.) Blake covers different perspectives on the question of speaking out. But the premise of CNNs article is that churches are to blame for Obamacares failures--not the federal government, not the Democrats who passed it, and not President Barack Obama himself. The thinly-veiled implication--a repeated theme in leftist critiques--is that Christians are hypocrites who care about personal salvation, but not about good works.
