Also, the government’s borrowing of social security funds contributes to the systems depletion.

[@lapassurs5383]

This is how we think we can provide for ourselves. Our faith should be that God is our provider. Everything comes from him. Howerver, there are biblical principles he gave us to live by. These cover the care for the aging as well. While we continue to murder the most vulnerable we expect to be blessed of God. It’s sinful. Too many children don’t want to care for the parents in their old age. They want nice cushy lives and keep everything to themselves. If we follow the standard in the word then our society would function correctly.

[@etgrider77]

You are right and tithing is one of those Biblical principles which is taught incorrectly in Christianity. Christian tithes are used to pay pastor salaries and building expenses. Biblical tithing was a form of welfare/social security. The Churches that collect tithes should be using them to support the elderly , widows, orphans etc..

If your lie was true, then why do you have so many Black men (usually African) from all over who KNOW TO & DO get married in this country?

I agree with every word Bishop said. His sermon made the ramifications of abortion real on an economic level. We are guilty. We have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. We stand accused and are guilty. With the blood of generations on our hands, we can only be redeemed by God. We need a Christ. We need a Savior. Thanks be to God he has given us The Christ, his son Jesus.

[@pgppe9488]

Part of want the Bishop is saying is correct, but the issues with SSA is not that simplistic. First of all, the program was never setup to payout benefits, and people are living longer that they were when the entitlement was created which is a drain on the system and thirdly, we have a growing segment of the populous that receives disability payments but hasn’t really worked 30-40 years in order to pay into the system which puts stress on the system as well.

Many of those children would be on social security. Many parents abort children due to chromosomal abnormalities and fetal abnormalities. Due to the environment in which they were sired, many of them would be in economically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually disadvantaged situations. Perhaps the talented 10% of them might make it out of those environments alive and moderately successful, but the 6 million that do would not be enough to offset the 54 million who would be in prison, in gangs, on unemployment, on welfare, on drugs, or simply didn't make it to working age because it's difficult for a 13 year old who was raped by her cousin to 1. Give birth and survive or 2. Raise a well developed child. I'm pro-life as well, but the situation is much more nuanced than the preacher makes it out to be. Instead of preaching anti-abortion to the world, he, and us as well, should be teaching abstinence to the church. God's Word and His Spirit makes these nuanced subjects of debate very simple.

How can we say that 54 million people would be in prison, in a gang, on welfare, or unemployed? The way you look at humans in my opinion is deplorable. Of course he teaches waiting until you are married to have sex and children, but in the cases that people are getting pregnant doesn't mean abortion simply because it's hard. Before abortion was a thing poor people had way more children post slavery & many of them lived pretty good lives. Some of those same people put children through school and became successful.

I worked in the Federal Government for decades. The USG does not take out social security. So after retirement, I worked in private industry to add social security hours to the small amount I earned before my government career. I was unable to work the number of years needed to be eligible to collect social security benefits so the money I earned (five years worth) sits in the system so someone else can benefit from it. Yes, the system is broke-oops I mean broken-and will eventually need a drastic overhaul to keep it afloat.

I attended one congregation back in the 90s, Calvary Chapel of Honolulu under pastor Bill Stonebraker, that kept and used a widows and single mother's list.

I agree with you our responsibility is to the poor and needy even those in prison. Thankfully in my church we do a lot in our community we have soup kitchens where people with a criminal history come where those with mental health issues come. We have a benevolent fund when we find out someone is in need we help them but many churches condemn, they make the sinner believe they must clean up their act before they come to Christ instead of recognising if they could have they would have already done it.

Why doesn’t he preach about America’s culture of murder across the board identify it expose it and use it to present the gospel. Why does he just focus on abortion? There is a great danger as believers when we are dictated to by society and when we put our trust in any political system. Vote yes if you want to but don’t be coerced. There is no compulsion for us to vote. None of these politicians are believers and none of the systems in society are for the benefit of the church. When Jesus walked this earth He refused to be drawn into the politics of the day, refused to bow to the political or religious systems at work.

This world will fade and things with it will perish. So, in all actuality, Social Security benefits, do not matter abortion is sin and that must be touched upon.

That is not even biblical. Scripture tells us to care for the poor. Welfare systems were set up to be a safety net. Some people are in need and have not paid into the system but it is not always their doing. Whether their parents died or they were in the care system. There are many reasons people end up in a place they need help. If we refuse to help them and they are genuinely needing help we have to answer to God. Many need help to manage their lives whether a change in their mindset or just a chance to get back on their feet it’s reasonable to help people who need it.
