Are you forgetting this?

Quote:
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Where did Jesus say, "it's okay to ignore this if the people without food, clothing, etc are lazy or don't meet your personal standards of working ethic"? You know, there is no reference in the bible to Jesus working a j-o-b a day in his life.

I think he made it clear what he expects people with wealth to do with their money. And what will happen to them if they don't.

You goddamn right I do. My badge number is 666 and every time some half assed preacher tries to do an exorcism I **** it up. I can't stand it when they pretend to heal somebody's crippled back or sweaty socks. I'm not the gossimer wing, hymn singing type anyway. I'll be in hell getting reacquainted with both my friends and my enemies.

What does any of this have to do with the question that was posed - how did human beings cause the first Ice Age?

Uh... why would I want to do that?

#1 - I can't afford to live in South Orange County.

#2 - I can't think of a more boring place to live - in a bunch of master planned, cookie-cutter housing developments, called "villages" to attract people who want to avoid exactly what SOC presents - a homogenous environment.

I prefer Los Angeles County, thank you very much.

I'm a conservative who likes diversity.

Sue me.

Al Gore preaches but does not practice what he preaches.. his private jet has a huge carbon footprint by measuring his own standards of what he writes in his book. And one believes him? A very wealthy Hypocrite.

Oh the horror!

God knows you.. everything about you.. Your master Satan is known as the destroyer because he comes to steal kill and destroy. I pray you never get sick because satan does not heal. Only God has the power to heal.

But the saving grace of Jesus who died for all and his blood shed is the final sacifice to defeat sin for Jesus overcame all sin. The Holy Spirit will come into ones life when they ask Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Savior..
Amen.

None of those verses mentioned big government confiscating earned income at gunpoint and redistributing it - so you are wrong.

So you're going to melt then.
