so by that logic a baby does not have the right to life :sigh:
good point, but I'd nuance that by saying that by that logic a baby doesn't have the right to the care that insures life
no God given right to stealsomething very like - I had in mind a situation I found myself in forty years ago, out on the water in a boat that died, very late in the season with a storm blowing in, on an island with resources that would have provided for survival if I was willing to break a lock or two.

No!
What the conservative advocates is not selfishness but freedom! The conservative is not apposed to helping the poor, it is apposed to Robin Hood!
Stealing from the rich to give to the poor is a double crime! The thief does his stealing and then the poor receive stolen goods. It is theft that the conservative apposes not charity.
The conservative believes that the man who earned his money is a far better judge of who should be the recipients of his charity than the government is. Just like nearly everything else the government touches, charity is corrupted into something grotesque that has more to do with politicians maintaining their power than it does with helping the poor or downtrodden. Indeed, the politician needs the downtrodden to remain in need of the politician's handouts or else he might pull the lever for something other than the Robin Hood / Santa Claus side of the ticket.
Excellent post Clete.
I'm always stunned by the idea that somehow it's "selfish" for people to self-determine how to spend their own money.
"Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things?"- Jesus
"Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things?"- Jesus
The rest of that verse is also very appropriate:
Mat 20:15 KJV Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

What?
How can you live with yourself when your mind is so twisted and hideous?!
Who besides God provides life to a baby? Are you referring to food and shelter? That too is provided by God so long as we don't forcibly rip a baby from it's mother's womb.
After the baby is born, God continues to provide for the child through his mother's breast. Are you suggesting that because a baby cannot feed itself that a mother has the right to refuse to allow the child to suckle her breast? The child didn't choose to be born or even conceived. The parents made that choice and there are consequences and responsibilities that come along with it, including providing for the needs of their own children.
"Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things?" - Jesus
Jesus didn't own a string of properties, left unoccupied whilst the poor needed shelter.
Jesus owned what he stood up in.
And the he followed the Old Testament poor laws to the letter.
... the Old Testament poor laws ....
Jesus makes his home with those who obey.
And, no one gets in His Father's mansion unless they obey.
cite?
So you have never read the 507 OT laws (separate from the 106 sacrificial/ceremonial ones)....?
You should know them by heart, surely..... not just the ones you sling at others....... ?
Get reading!

and ok doser got my point.
just pointed out a consequence of your logic and you blow a gasket , take a pill dude.
yes, food & shelter
"NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO ANYTHING THAT MUST BE PROVIDED TO THEM BY SOMEONE ELSE!!!!" clete
"the old testament poor laws" - your words, you get to explain them
hint- there weren't 507 "poor laws"
You really need to read all of the 507.
Then you would find and maybe remember the poor laws.
So you think God lives in a big Mansion?
Do you think God lives in Mammon
Strange.......,
