`"Jesus never counted on Government(s) for anything. Exactly my point. He walked everywhere he went, never blaming or complaining.

Are you and the BlindBishop related? You've avoided responding to anything in my post, something BB seems unable to avoid; then thank me for proving a mysterious point of yours, not mentioned by me. Jesus counting on government, or anything else, is completely irrelevant to this discussion. You appear to toss his name about when faced with an argument you would rather avoid. If you are in fact a bonafide man of the bible and not, as it often seems, a common street hustler perhaps you'll address the incongruity of praising Christ while defaming the poor and less fortunate. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "noblarneyzone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jesus never counted on Government(s) for anything.
