Trump Storms Davos

I don't think that's as ironclad as some people think, after all, there's "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven". (matt 5:16)
But I think this is worth discussing, so how bout making your best case for "nobody should"?

I'd be interested in a thread on this topic.

I am not talking about paying taxes. I am talking about giving your money to help the poor directly.

Or giving significant amounts of time, because, as they say, "time is money".

Where would it best be put, Christianity? Would it be best, probably, to have this a Christians only thread, so it doesn't get bogged down in other issues?

I simply don't see a reason not to take Jesus literally here. Good deeds in general can be apparent to others, and goodness is a fruit of the spirit, but Jesus seemed to single out charitable giving in particular as something to be done in secret. If others find out about it, so be it, but Jesus words are clear to me: for us to publicize it seems to negate any spiritual benefit.

I'd think so, yeah.

Should Evangelicals have voted for the inveterate liar and hypocrite Hillary R Clinton instead?

When you call someone a liar, have you considered pointing out what you think is a lie in his/her statement?

Are you, or are you not, independently wealthy as you have previously alleged?

not sure who jiml thinks he's fooling, we've all seen that statement

Are you daft? Look, you have two flawed candidates. One supports the majority of policies you do, the other supports almost none of the things that you do. Which one would you vote for Tass?

Maybe he thinks "independently wealthy" means living off of government handouts.

I've wondered that - as long as the checks keep getting auto-deposited into his account, and expenses are low because he's living in his mommy's basement...

Perhaps to an dishonest ignoramus who wants to promote that false narrative. You're becoming more like your version of Trump every day, Trumpman.
