Proverbs 25:14 Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of a gift he does not give.

James 2:14 What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?
James 2:15 If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food,
James 2:16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?

Let's begin by stating that it is misfortunate for everyone that Obama has imposed his fatherless, momma-rules, minorities-preference, childhood inadequacy on all of us by nominating sexist, gender-biased woman Sonja Sootomire to the U.S. Supreme Court. Much-preferable candidates are readily available!

Rather recently, rabidly hyped and touted by the feminist-sexist-dominated network news media, and the governmental agencies of the significantly-chauvenistic Obama Administration they glorify, is the breathtakingly-gargantuan Stimulus Package.

The American people, and voters, have discerned - and continue to perceive even more - that the trillion dollars or so printed up by the feds have gone to replace what Wall Street CEOs and others (who had bid up the price of oil and thus gasoline to nearly $4.00/gallon) tucked away for themselves....and to take up the tab for irresponsible home owners (including a lot more negroid ones who got special kudos because of their mandatorily-non-discriminated-against skin color, benefitted by because of their savvy take-advantage-of-it-all brains) who took out bank loans for houses they did not have the income to pay it all back - allowed by Clinton and Bush and Obama bureaucrats who had the immentality of trying to increase the economy by encouraging borrowing to get further into debt.

So has slick-talking-black-idol, big-mouth Obama actually put money into your wallets with his Stimulus Bill (which has saddled you and your progenie with impossible-to-eradicate overwhelming future debt)?

Let's see:

Not only are many out of a job because of the recent financial-system collapse, but now the cops have been given more money for means to arrest and fine you, extracting even more money out of your wallet, thus exacerbating your poverty situation. Be careful that the "bite taken out of crime" does not get you illegally demonized and your bank account chomped on.

Oh, I suppose that one can make absurd irrationalizations of indirect benefits to everyone across the board.

If one funds for killer bees, those protected bees will increase in number so as to sting you more for accidental tailgating and honking mistakes. However, more will fly around to pollenate flowers, some of which flowers are connected to vegetables and seeds helping those lifeforms and replentishing the environment on Earth with oxygen, which air and food is profitable to farmers, then truckers, then warehouse workers, then retail grocers, then you - the consumer.....then BP for your residual-expense gasoline-card monthly payments, then power companies and city hall for electricity and water and sewer bills to shelter you temporarily until traffic cops fine you with infractions on the roads and highways, then to Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc. for cellphone-bills payment so that you can continue to warn other drivers about the geographical-proximity location of cops prowling around in hideaway stealth at night with no-longer-merely-Ford-model non-marked patrol vehicles, then mortgage companies, then car-insurance companies who never pay you back premiums which you (with your collision-free driving record) never utilized.

Then Walmart awaits you. Then your relatives - relentless with birthdays, graduations, and funerals. How about that summer vacation with all the motel and entertainment charges along the way?

Perhaps the icing on the cake is Obama's proposed health-insurance boondoggle, which might deduct more than FICA out of your paychecks.

But let me back up a bit.

Let's be generous yet realistic with Christian church and Christian-organizations tithing. The Body of Christ is a cooperative effort. The Lord loves a cheerful giver:

Deuteronomy 12:11 then to the place which the LORD your God will choose, to make his name dwell there, thither you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the offering that you present, and all your votive offerings which you vow to the LORD.

Nehemiah 12:44 On that day men were appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the first fruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the law for the priests and for the Levites according to the fields of the towns; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who ministered.

Amos 4:4 "Come to Bethel, and transgress; to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days;

Malachi 3:8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, 'How are we robbing thee?' In your tithes and offerings.
Malachi 3:10 Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.

Matthew 8:4 And Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

First Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come.

Romans 4:4 Now to one who works, his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as his due."

Second Corinthians 8:3 For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will,

Second Corinthians 9:5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

Some presume the Lord's missionary intents can operate without money. Let's see if the judgmentally and accusatorily-presumptive themselves can financially exist in the inner city and suburbia - deprived of their own employment! Now that would take a real "miracle," wouldn't it?
