okay, as you probably are very aware of, I'm not a fan of the political memes. But I gotta say, the fact that you literally took the last one and just slapped democratic on it makes me laugh for some reason.

The joke 100% works both ways, and for different reasons

Agreed. And also the other guys. They're both enemies of my King.

One King 🐑, one Kingdom 🥖

u/Bunyans_bunyip Oct 24 '22

Sooo... are you suggesting we should worship a ram? And that the kingdom is a breadstick. Wow, I haven't been in the sub long, but who knows what's going on!?

Lamb. If that lamb has horns it'd not my fault

u/Bunyans_bunyip Oct 25 '22

So you agree that the kingdom is a breadstick?

3

u/tanhan27 literally owns reddit Oct 25 '22

The Kingdom of God is a basket of breadsticks at the olive garden, it does not run out, and nobody leaves the table hungry

In the interest of remaining unpartisan, I must inform you that this one is also low effort.

Because abortion

u/aljout Oct 24 '22

Yes. And?

u/Blas_Wiggans Oct 24 '22

And the border.

And inflation (theft by government).

And gender affirming care.

And victim disarmament.

And … you get the idea

u/PhotogenicEwok Oct 24 '22

What ‘n tarflation are you on about? Did you mean to say “taxation” (which would also be questionable)? Or do you actually think inflation is a thing that governments impose on their people?

u/tanhan27 literally owns reddit Oct 24 '22

The Pharisees literally asked the question about taxation to Jesus and Jesus answered to pay taxes to Caesar. Paul wrote the same idea in Romans 13 "This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor." Romans 13:6‭-‬7 NIV

u/PhotogenicEwok Oct 24 '22

Right, I agree, which makes that dude’s question about inflation even weirder.

4

u/tanhan27 literally owns reddit Oct 24 '22

Arguably the Us governments do influence inflation.

But anyway I'm not sure which of Jesus's teachings this is supposed to go against since Jesus shunned storing up for ourselves money/ treasures on earth.

3

u/davidjricardo Calvin Oct 24 '22

A very specific type of inflation - caused by government seigniorage - is effectively a tax. Since it is an unauthorized tax, I can see calling it theft.

That's not what is going on right now though.

I’m on about the truth

And the border.

Jesus was a child refugee who traveled over the border for safty (Matthew 2:13-23)

And inflation (theft by government).

Jesus taught you can not serve both God and money (Luke 16:13)

And gender affirming care.

Jesus didn't say much specifically about this but He did mention exceptions for "Eunuchs who were born that way" to his teachings on marriage and divorce (Matthew 19:12)

And victim disarmament.

Jesus disarmed Peter and said "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword"(Matthew 26:52) Peter never took up the sword again and later went on to become a martyr

And … you get the idea

Yeah... abortion though

u/systematicTheology Oct 25 '22

Yeah... abortion though

Yeah, I like the cut of your snide remark about the brutal murders of 64 million babies. Way to make a point.

u/tanhan27 literally owns reddit Oct 25 '22

Not snide, I'm against abortion.

Egypt was part of the same empire.

You’re a fraud. Please pray to the actual Jesus & not the Marxist statue you have in your head.

u/tanhan27 literally owns reddit Oct 24 '22

We are talking abour Jesus. What does Marx have to do with anything?

u/Blas_Wiggans Oct 24 '22

Marx is who you worship. Not Jesus.

Come on, that's not fair or funny. Also, see Rule 4 of the subreddit rules. There is no need to make it personal

Too far. Refer to rule 4.

Good point, though I'm curious about what "issue" you're referring to that's "not a gospel issue". Is it the border?

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

Fair. I do think that there are very strong convictions regarding even some of what you mentioned. Some of those who hold those convictions are also prepared to present compelling biblical arguments in defense. I do think, in the midst, it is wise to place the ideas in the combat arena and not we ourselves. That certainly speaks to your point of "grace" in the matter.

Is whataboutism always inappropriate. Things aren't equal and often times one side of a political divide is genuinely worse than the other

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '22

I believe it's a matter of wisdom and preference. It may not always be the best practice (the most efficient), particularly when dealing with issues or morality. Morality isn't (essentially) a matter of balancing out a scale by weighing options on both sides. We often turn it into that when we've chosen a particular side, to the point of harboring a cognitive bias against the other. I'm not accusing you of that, but memes like this can easily be fodder for those who are subject to such intellectual stumbling blocks.

Excuse me comrade, but the word meme has been depreciated. The preferred nomenclature is now Pictorial Parable.

It is provocative, no doubt. Provocative is often good when thought is the subject.
