Originally posted by Thoughtful Monk View PostAs a New Yorker, I think people are seeing this as Upstate NY sacrificing for NYC. I watched some of today's briefing as well (until the spousal over unit couldn't take anymore) and one thing that struck me is how much Cuomo's talk focused on NYC. One slide he showed was all NYC scenes. Yes, that's the greatest need right now, yet there are over 300 cases in my county right now and I've heard concerns on the radio that the ventilators we need are going to go to the city instead. So is Cuomo focused on the state or the city? I don't get a sense from his briefings that he's concerned about any part of the state outside of the city.
BTW - I'm not from the NYC area. I'm your neighbor across the lake in Vermont!The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

"Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostYou are assuming that he's still RC and not abandoned his faith. Given the nature of his posts the that he has aposticized is far more likely.
The SBC is Christian and the resolutions represent Christian thought
MLK was a Bible Christian. A black Baptist preacher could have written Letter from a Birminham Jail without needing to plagiarize
Black evangelicals are Christian
Abortion is an important issue and needs real, not symbolic gestures
The religious right's rhetoric from the nineties to 2000s was spot on and entirely Christian
The Body of Christ has an important, even essential, role in society; to abandon that role of salt and light is is a betrayal of the apostolic faith.
Trump is not a messianic figure.
The Jewish practice of omitting the vowel is not apostasy; using the letter O is not some sign of divine and saving grace.
Complementarianism is not the only view a Christian can hold
On each of those, I took a firm stand, and have not been persuaded that any of those are wrong. But on each those stands, I have been labelled "not a Christian (which is used as an insult and rhetorical flourish, not a category based on the faith)
In this case you posted what you did in post 143. Maybe you did not really mean it, maybe you did not understand the implications of what you posted. So I will ask you here: What are we to remember?

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostWhile I can understand the feelings, the fact is that over 120K of New York's 131K infection are in five counties in and around NYC. I can imagine, as governor, he's going to distribute his focus based on need. Right now, the need in NYC is ginormous. Since ventilators are in short supply, odds are that every county is going to experience a lack.

Originally posted by rogue06 View Postin your case based upon how you treat Christians as a whole as "the other" and not a group you belong to any more. And virtually everything you added after the first part of your post could also be said by a non-Christian secularist as well.

James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
