Will Jesus send Republicans to hell?
Jesus said "Whatever you do unto the least of my brethren, you do unto me". Republicans want to keep health insurance from the needy so, in effect, they want deny it to Jesus. Will they be judged on their actions when they stand before Him?
I see a lot of people cherry picking Jesus's teaching to favor their position. Another wants to separate religion and politics - imagine making that plea to Jesus. Yes, I am an altruist.

He who does not work shall not eat." Yet we hear that some of you are living in laziness, refusing to work, and wasting your time in gossiping. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we appeal to such people--we command them--to quiet down, get to work, and earn their own living. 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12TLB
People for the most part especially here in the U.S. create their own problems or their own successes. People come to the U.S. with little more than the shirts on their backs and become very successful and wealthy.
My father's favorite quote was: "nothing just happens it is either caused by something we do or do not do". For years I tried to debunk that, however if you carry that to a finite conclusion, you will find it true. By the way I am a Grandmother,so it wasn't since just yesterday I have been trying to figure it out.
Also, just whom do you plan on taking the money from to give to the people who don't have it? Let's just see what is going on as of late. Next year there will be no raise in Social Security for its recipients, and for the most part that is the elderly.
In addition here in GA, property taxes have increased due to Homestead Exemption has been eliminated. Now with just those two occurences, what do you think is going to happen? Between eating and medicine, what do you think the elderly are going to give up? Either way it could result in earlier deaths for our parents and grandparents. These people who worked all their lives paying into Social Security, and giving it people who have not paid into Social Secuirty.
No I don't think Republicans will be sent to hell, especially since Republicans and Conservatives contribute more of their monies to chairities, approximatley 30% more than Democrats and even 18% more blood donations.

Jesus also said Render unto Cesar that which is Cedar's and unto God that which is God's. If you are truly a believer it would be a good thing for you to not misinterpret scripture. As Obamacare is designed it will be a governmental operation and a tax and have nothing to do with God. It is a worldly thing not a spiritual thing and not done of good will by any individual.

I am all for making health care affordable? Maybe you can go to hell with me for you insistance that we provide health insurance from the government without asking why exactly they don't fix their own goodamn rules that reduce competition in plans available from state to state. Why does an ibuprofen cost $10 dollars in a hostpial for an individual dose? Why does an MRI cost so much?
See you in hell.

sure they are...and he also said that homosexuality is an abomination and that a man that doesn't take care of HIS OWN house hold is worse than an infidel.....soooooo I guess a lot of gay and welfare recipient Dem's are going with them! Nice of you to bring religion into politics...thought you libs where against that. ( typical hypocrite )
for the record...I am not against helping those who TRULY need it ( like the elderly, disabled, and people that lost their jobs due to no fault of their own ) but Shaniqua and her five brats from 5 different fathers? Oh hell NO! The bible also says to give only unto widows that are TRULY widows......not parasites that make bad choices or choose destructive lifestyles and then wait for you to bail them out.
edit...LOL the "cherry picker" ( taking the bible out of context and only believing the parts that dont interupt your lifestyle choices ) accuses us of cherry picking LOL pot meet kettle! Typical lib...choking on his own hypocrisy while trying to point out the hypocrisy of others........so predictable and comical!

Your math is off. Being against a healthcare bill they cant figure out how to pay for does not = being against healthcare for the needy.
Did you skip the parts of the bible about finance?
In reality 5% REALLY need healthcare and cant get it or afford it. The current healthcare bill only covers 95%.
SO, the people that REALLY REALLY need it……………………still wont have it…………now what?
Go broke implementing the government version of what we already have?

the needy have insurance, it's called medicaid...and the DEMOCRATIC congress has an income restriction on it stopping millions from getting insurance.....you do know that if you make min wage , the dems say that you make too much to qualify for benefits don't you?

Wow, feeling a little myopic this morning?
Jesus also said that if you give fish freely to a man he has food for the day, if you teach him how to fish, he has food for life.
Republicans want to not give dc bureaucrats our health system, because, they will, absolutely ruin it.

Only if they don't accept the real Jesus in their hearts and quit hating everybody that doesn't agree with their extreme ways.

I'm a liberal Democrat myself, but I have to say that if you really believe in Jesus, then you know that it's not up to us to predict who will go to hell and who won't.
