God: Don't be partial to the poor

This is the show from Monday March 2nd, 2009.

SUMMARY:

* Obama Spending Trillions, Calls for Deep Cuts: First, he spends almost a trillion dollars on a pork-stimulus package. Then he talks about cutting the deficit by 2013 (conveniently, after he's left office) in half, and that just a few days before he introduces a mammoth $3.6 trillion dollar budget. Is he crazy, or is he just a lunatic? The next thing we'll find out, is that Obama exercises daily AND smokes, inhaling and working out.

* A Chicken in Every Pot; A Home on Every Lot: whether you can afford it or not! That's where the Republican Bush administration upped the Democrats' New Deal! Ninja loans: no income, no job, no assets, no credit, no documentation. Just a mortgage! Yes, the Democrats pushed this, but as a liberal George W. Bush was unqualified to resist and instead, he was an accomplice. And this redistribution-of-land socialist program happened during a Republican administration with a Republican Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan serving Reagan, Bush, and W. And our bank nationalization (gee, I feel dirty for using the English language for that phrase; it should be in some other tongue, perhaps German, Russian, French, Chinese, or perhaps Icelandic I think) was pioneered by George W. Bush and his Republican Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Meanwhile, remember that Bob aired the audio of George W. admitting on CNN: "I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system." Sounds like a new age psychobabbler telling Bill Clinton to abandon the principles of marriage to save his marriage. But Hannity fans don't fret! With a Democrat in the White House, Republicans can pretend to be conservatives and a good time will be had by all.

* Leviticus 19:15: The collapse of the subprime mortgage scam factors significantly in the economic suffering of so many today and we all bear the cost to the economy of hundreds of billions of dollars of scam real estate transactions because George W. doesn't inform himself from God's Word. If he had, he would have known it is wrong for the government to "be partial to the poor." As God said, "You shall not be partial to the poor... In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor" (Lev 19:15).

* Bill Maher's Religulous: BEL general manager Will Duffy watched Maher's filthy movie by way of the ClearPlay DVD player which enables BEL staffers (and others) to view popular DVDs and movies while censoring out vulgarity and many types of immorality. (Note to Flip Benham: Did you know that Maher's movie shows Operation Save America's famous Jesus is the Standard t-shirt?) Duffy contrasts Maher's flick against Christianity with Ben Stein's documentary against evolution. Duffy points out that while Maher interviews almost all unknown personalities, Stein interviews all the most famous evolutionists. (The only big name that Maher interviewed that Will recognized was Ken Ham, and Duffy pointed out that unlike Stein's big-name interviews, Maher's talk with Ham was very short, and also Bill Maher was the least successful attacking Ham as compared to all his other interviews.) Also, while Maher's interviews are filled with edit cuts, Ben Stein's interviews in Expelled contain almost no edits. Bill Maher targeted Christianity primarily and he gave lip service to criticizing other religions, but seemed obsessed with Jesus Christ. Finally, Maher easily made fun of unprepared Christians by asking them: "Are you judging that person?" and they could not answer, but of course, they could if only they had read Bob Enyart's Judge Rightly Is Not Some Guy's Name.

* BEL February Telethon Brought in $36,000 of $20,000 Goal: Thank you to everyone who prays for and supports Bob Enyart Live! You've all blown by our goals! And if there is anyone out there who doesn't want to miss out on helping us influence more people with our Christian worldview, please consider a one-time gift or make a monthly pledge online or by calling 1-800-8Enyart! Please help!

Today's Resource: Do you hope to move someone from unbelief to trusting in Christ? That typically involves breaking down both pride and misconceptions. You do NOT need anything from BEL to accomplish this! You can use prayer and the Scriptures. But if you would like some help from BEL, you could consider how these five powerful titles in the BEL Evangelism Pack can help someone decide to convert to Christianity!

Did he mispronounce the movie's title for a reason?

Hello Lighthouse! I haven't heard an ad for the movie, and so pronounced it phoenetically as per http://www.dailywritingtips.com/is-religulous-a-word/

English spelling has rules and the portmanteau word “religulous”, a combination of religion+ridiculous, or religion+incredulous, breaks one of them.

The letter g represents two different sounds, “hard g” and “soft g.” ...

G has the “soft sound” when followed by the vowels e, i, or y.
Examples: genuine, ginger, gypsy, and gyves

In spoken advertising, the movie is called /re-lij-u-lus/, but according to the rule, it would be /re-lig-u-lus/.​

Guess we can't count on Maher for much :(

p.s. I've appeared a half-dozen times on his ABC Politically Incorrect, and we've been known to give a copy of those appearances to friends of BEL from time to time :)

Well, the "g" in "religion" is where it comes from, so why would it be pronounced differently?

As for your appearances on his show, I recall one or two of them that I did see. Back when I didn't like you [to put it mildly]. Of course, I don't know who I disliked more, you or Bill Maher.

Of course, I always wanted him to put you up against another Christian who was more like I was at the time. But he was too afraid to put more than one Christian on his show, apparently.

Of course, if he actually had some intelligence he might have been able to see the opportunity for the possibility to use the disagreement against Christianity, as many here do. The only other option is that he's too honest for that. But after seeing some of the selection of people he talked to for this mockumentary, I doubt that.

P.S. I wouldn't mind getting copies of those.:listen:

Hi LH!

It's late, no?

The g in religion is followed by an i.
In Religulous it's followed by a u.

The word ridiculous, and the movie title phonetically, make almost a consonance (two plosives), which would probably have met Maher's objective better.

So we now have proof that Maher isn't smart enough to use grammar or phonics properly, let alone take religion to task.

I just listened to the show. As usual, I agree with the points. Only one exception. The pastor made a comment about taxes and deficits. And he refrenced the libertarians about how socialism doesn't work. That is true, and an observation. You can't steal from somebody, and they say they will have more money as a result.

Lowering taxes don't bring deficits, because they increase tax revenue from an increase in economic activity.

Even my favorite President Reagan faltered. He made deals thinking Tip O'neil would act in the best intrest of the nation, and reel in discretionary spending. How foolish of him.

As tax rates came down, federal income tax revenues went up. And deficits climbed from increases in mandatory spending.

I liked the show. He called liberals and those that agree to their principles, whether dumocrat or re-publicans, are blithering idiots. Their logic is...illogical.

Nice to see Christians having compassion for the needy.

What percent of Americans were in poverty, before and after LBJ's "great society"?

I haven't seen the data in a while. It gets harder to find all the time. As of 1992, Welfare had confiscated 3 trillion dollars from American workers. In 1992 dollars. How many are no longer in poverty as a result?

Did you not listen and decide to poo-poo the thread, or did you not understand? The title "Dont be partial to the poor" was very clearly explained and easy to understand. I listened.
