Coburn has misunderestimated the threat posed by feminists and blacks.

Blacks?  How so?

The willingness to accept and approve of homosexual behavior is, BY FAR, a greater threat than the actual act of homosexuality.

Rom 1:31 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Do the so called "Christians" on the right know this verse?

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." (Matthew 19:24)

If not, I have no use for hearing from faux Christians on the right.

I am not sure I understand your point...are you saying rich people can't be saved or that being rich is somehow a sin?

What the bible is saying is that Jesus was a socialist.

Among the church, yes.  Believers are taught to share their worldly possessions.  But they are NOT taught to blindly give:

Hard work is expected by all so that no one becomes a burden to others:
2Th 3:8 nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

Lazy people are not to be helped:
2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Only well-behaved widows over 60 are to supported by the church:
1Tim 5:9-10 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, 10and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.

What the bible is saying is that Jesus was a socialist.

As to the rich being saved:

Abraham was rich, Job was the richest man in the East, King David was rich, King Solomon was the richest king on earth, etc, etc, etc.

So the rich can be saved, for the rest of the passage reads:

23Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

 25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?"

 26Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

... so then, it is possible for the rich to saved!

You mean the Bible contradicts itself? No way! I don't believe it....


How is that a contradiction? 

Jesus said it is hard for the rich to be saved and it is impossible for man to save himself, but that everything is possible with God, even salvation of the rich...and the bible has many examples of rich people living a life in accordance with God's commands.

So where is this supposed contradiction?   You can find contradictions with everything, biblical or non-biblical, by splicing bits and pieces.

...jfern refused to include Jesus’ whole quote and therefore missed the point and misrepresented what Jesus was actually saying.
