Hi Friends !
I am sorry to quote and copy the good man, Bill Wilson, so much, but he writes some of the most timely and interesting subject matter ever ! "What the 'president' said."
Now, can you even believe what comes out of Obama's mouth these days ?? And if any Christian [or otherwise] said things like this against the 'Islamic Prophet' the world would see all kinds of riots and murders !! They love to use most anything as an excuse to murder and torture Christians and Jews anyway ! Yes, Sorry to say, the 'Christian Church' is fast asleep, or paralyzed from the neck --up, or too cowardly to stand up for the real TRUTH OF THE BIBLE ! But then, all of this was prophesized, too. Just read the books of 1st and 2nd Timothy, and the 4 Gospels, ladies and gentlemen. "Seek and you shall find." And if you don't find, you will still learn a lot.
As I have said many times over.... God is NOT looking for numbers, He is looking for quality people who have allowed the H.S. {Holy Spirit} to change their sinful, selfish ways and become the "New Man and Woman" --- the New Creatures of God. We don't do this over night, but I, myself have seen wonders and miracles, for sure, in men and women. Old friends, and even my first wife have also seen, "a new Tom Schuckman" too, although the nice lady I have now doesn't see any progress, yet. But I keep trying -- not to give up and yield to Satan.
Mr. Obama never gives up either, in showing his true colors, as he says improper things about Fox News, on TV, either.... imperfect as they are, because we knowledgeable people know that even Fox News is holding back all they know about the Gov't and the way things are headed, and the KJV Bible.... yet I am thankful for what they do expose, that lines up with bible prophecy. People who do NOT study the Holy Scriptures, especially the KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE, are surely missing out on so much, easily understandable facts, pure history, and the mind of Christ, and the Father God ! And what a pity, because we need all hands on deck, right now ! The Truth of the bible is like a tall, full, apple tree, and so is Life. We must exert SOME effort to reach up and pick the apples, so that we may EAT ! The results of abject laziness and poverty does cause pain, and I think that is a powerful and necessary lesson to us humans. The bible is full of this ultra simple logic of lazy people [who CAN, are ABLE to work], but CHOSE NOT TO WORK, and then they get a stabbing pain in their bellies, from not eating, and the shame of the community ! ! ! The German-American culture that I was raised with/ taught, was very simple.... 'If you don't work -- you don't eat.' And we 5 kids worked hard on Mom and Dad's small 80 acre farm in Wisconsin ! It didn't hurt us one bit, but produced strong, and thankful, happy, bodies. Smile !
Jesus was correct [of course], as 'we will always have the poor,' because some folks just will not work. I have seen those kind of people who "pride themselves" and brag how they "don't pay any Union Dues" and don't have to conform to many social programs, as they sleep under some bridge, or in a card board box, and beg for 'loose change' at the post office, etc., and eat at the local community Soup Kitchens. Some have no choice as they somehow fell thru the cracks and just fell into poverty, yes, even hard working people who get laid off during hard times, and that stuff just breaks a man's heart. About a month ago, I even gave a friend [a hard worker at WalMart] a hundred dollar bill, because he really needed it toward helping his wife get some medical help in another State, and I was glad that I could help --- but that was all I could afford at that time !! But now find my own self in a 'pickle', having trouble with the stinking IRS... $$$.
I hope you all enjoy this post. The Air Temp. U.P. here today is: 56 degrees F. right now at 10:12 AM. I also think that THIS YEAR, 2015: God will be "shaking the earth in many ways" to wake people up--- because so many leaders and people are profaning His Name, and seeking to hurt His holy Nation, Israel.... see: Genesis 12: 3. You ain't seen nothing yet !
Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman

"president" says Christ is cynical about poverty
Georgetown University hosted a panel discussion about poverty on May 12. The "president" was there, making his case for why government programs and taxation of corporations fulfills the mission of Christ and the Church by taking care of the poor. He used the platform for both promoting a communistic viewpoint on social economic engineering, and for lecturing Christians about conforming to his twisted and misguided viewpoint of the Holy Scriptures. The "president" went so far as to imply that Jesus Christ was cynical about the poor and that ending poverty was a defining issue "to capture the essence of who we are as Christians" rather than a "nice to have" issue like same sex marriage or abortion. In his opening remarks, the "president" took a swipe at Christ, saying: "And I think it's important when it comes to dealing with issues of poverty for us to guard against cynicism, and not buy the idea that the poor will always be with us and there's nothing we can do -- because there's a lot we can do. The question is do we have the political will, the communal will to do something about it." He was referring to references of Christ in Matthew 26:11, Mark 14:6 and John 12:8, saying "For you have the poor always with you; but me you have not always." The "president" is saying that we have to guard against cynicism and then refers to what Christ said about the poor. Hence, he is saying Jesus is cynical about the poor. Communists have often used the Bible to justify collective social economics. The "president" did so at Georgetown by posing the question of whether Americans have the "communal will" to do something about poverty. He said that a job was the best solution to poverty, yet he belittled political conservatives believing the free market, not government, creates jobs. He did not mention that under his Administration there are a record number of people not in the job force because they have given up on finding a job. This underscores the problem: government cannot solve the problem of poverty. Historically, communism has caused poverty to increase. Capitalism has created more wealth and jobs than any system. Notwithstanding, communists the world over, although they deplore and reject all religion, are quick to hijack the heartstrings of the church to control the pursestrings of society. Government acting as the benefactor to the poor does not work because it is compulsory. People who work are forced to pay taxes to support those who do not work. In Christianity, people willingly and freely give to the poor as a matter of the heart. As Deuteronomy 15:11 says, "For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, you shall open your hand wide unto your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land." In this, there is blessing because it is acting from the abundance of the heart upon the command of God, not a government mandate with an ungodly agenda.
