My response to: “It’s Not the Government’s Job to Help the Poor—It’s the Church’s!” https://benjamin-cremer.kit.com/posts/my-response-to-it-s-not-the-government-s-job-to-help-the-poor-it-s-the-church-s

Hypocrisy. Plain and simple. Christian Nationalism is not about Christianity.

Why are Christians in America adamantly arguing that it is not the government's role to care for the poor because that's the role of Christianity and yet at the same time they are arguing for Christian Nationalism and a greater role for Christianity in every facet of government?

“Just as you are not free from the consequences of your choices and decisions, neither are you free from the internal and external factors and conditions which determine your choices and decisions.” — Juan Camara

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. — John 6:65-66 Arminians, Molinists, Open Theists and Provisionists...

I would push back on that by saying that human beings choose very specific sins and evils which God Himself decided that they would commit. Sinners don't commit random sins. They sin in very specific and meticulous ways which God determined in minute detail from before creation.

For generations, Christians have been told the Jews are God’s chosen people. We have been told, “Judeo-Christian values” bind Christians and Jews together. However, Christians know very little about the Jewish faith of Judaism, and their holy book called the Talmud. So what exactly are the values of Judaism that bind us together? Today, we are going to open the Talmud in order to find out. I believe anytime we support a cause, movement, or people, we should understand what we are supporting. In order to do that, we need to learn a little bit about the Jewish religion. What Is Judaism And The Talmud? Judaism is not a religion solely based on the Old Testament. Judaism is a religion derived from the Torah and the rabbinical commentary of the Babylonian Talmud, (also: Jerusalem Talmud). The Babylonian Talmud is composed of two books. The first is the Mishnah, which is a rabbinical commentary about the Torah. The second is the Gemara, which is a rabbinical commentary about the Mishnah. Judaism’s Talmud is not claimed to be a Divinely inspired book. It’s simply the commentary of men. Even so, the Talmud serves as the instruction manual for Orthodox and Hasidic Jews around the world. Now that we have some basic knowledge about Judaism, we are going to open the Talmud to read what the book teaches its Jewish adherents. As you read the Talmud, take note, a “Gentile” is considered a non-Jew. Partial quotes are cited for brevity, full quotes are linked to the Talmud. https://worldeventsandthebible.com/talmud
