Hey Hillary, the Bible tells people to "cling" to your faith in Christ

[Quixote1818]

Please note: I am an agnostic and certainly no Bible expert. Found this with a search.


In response to this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5490474


How dare Obama suggest people are doing what the Bible tells them to do? :sarcasm:




18 Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles. 19 Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. 20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are two examples. I threw them out and handed them over to Satan so they might learn not to blaspheme God.

Footnotes:

1. 1 Timothy 1:4 Greek in myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation.
2. 1 Timothy 1:4 Greek a stewardship of God in faith.
3. 1 Timothy 1:10 Or kidnappers.

1. The Bible is elitist!

Wait...what?

[Quixote1818]

2. Yes it is! And bitter too! nt

[americanstranger]

3. And condescending!

Hillary's gonna beat Jesus by 20 points in PA!

- as

[merh]

4. DUzy worthy!

:rofl:

[2rth2pwr]

5. Now that Obama has spoken the Bible should probably be edited

to include The "bitter" part first.

[Quixote1818]

6. But the other thread suggested the "bitter" part was no big deal.

You Hillary supporters need to settle in on which part was bad.

7. as usual, the bible is wrong

[anonymous171]

9. But are the statements elitist?

[Sulawesi]

13. thou shalt put no other god before me...

arrogant...

or course, God is misogynist too...

"As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."

8. Hey , Quixote

Why do you know so much about the bible? It's just a book.

[Quixote1818]

10. I don't. I did a search in an online Bible for the word "cling"

to see what would come up. I am an agnostic, free-thinker.

[Condem]

14. These days

Thinking ain't free.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. Like the Bill Hicks joke

"Why are you reading?" not what are you reading but 'why'. Why would you know so much? About a book? Why? Why know anything? Why read? Knowlege is death! Ignorance is bliss!
Why would you know so much....what a country!

11. Exodus 20:16

Stop telling lies about blue collar workers Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor

[anonymous171]

12. Clinton should take a lesson from that.

[Maribelle]

15. No Clinton should say that to Obama

I'm sick of her being so soft on him.

[Quixote1818]

17. I hope she does because it would backfire like all her other false outrage attacks.

Democrats are beginning to see that she is destroying our chances in November. It's quite disgusting really.

[Condem]

18. Maribelle

The repugs are looking for the zealots. Seems they've lost a bunch. You'd fit in.

[merh]

29. Have you shown Hillary that one?

:shrug:

[SunsetDreams]

16. So Hillary is distorting the bible now too?

[Lucinda]

20. Does it tell them to cling to 'antipathy toward people who aren't like them or

anti-immigrant sentiment" too?

[anonymous171]

21. As Hillary would say "That isn't relevant"

[Lucinda]

22. Obama words aren't relevant?

Okiedokie.

[anonymous171]

23. To this discussion, no. Hillary would agree with me.

[SunsetDreams]

24. In trying times...

when one is losing a job, due to jobs being sent overseas, for cheaper labor. Do you honestlly think someone wouldn't blame an immigrant of that country? not that it's fair, but it happens.

At the same time, in the U.S. we have companies who are hiring illegal immigrants for cheaper labor, while our American workers are out of a job.

In this economy, times are really tough, people are struggling to make it!

So yeah, if you can't see that, that is really sad.

When everything is going wrong, you "cling" to things you can count on like your religion, family, close circle of friends.

[Condem]

25. Sunset- Well said!

[SunsetDreams]

27. Thanks :)

[Quixote1818]

26. I agree 100%. It's human nature. nt

[SunsetDreams]

28. not only that, but it's common sense IMO

[Lucinda]

30. Including antipathy towards people who are not like themselves?

[SunsetDreams]

31. The answer was given...
