Disfavor for Bush Hits Rare Heights

[Treasure]

It is frightening though that we really don't have a good candidate running for the upcoming election.

If by "we" you mean one party in particular, well, that's your problem. But if by "we" you mean "we the people" regardless of partisan kack, that's a lack of informedness on your part. I can think of at least one excellent candidate, possibly two, maybe more (which I'd know if *I* was better informed).

Get out of the partisan box and live a little!

My "partisan box" as you call it, is called the Bible. My beliefs have nothing to do with bi partisanship. I'll willingly and gladly vote for the person that I believe God would have in office and I hope everyone else would do the same.

You're right about being informed. I should be more informed and I'm working on that.

So, which Scriptures do you rely on for instruction on how an American employee should regard and act towards his employer?

The Bible contains all things necessary to salvation and it is the inspired and authoritative source of truth about God, Christ, and the Christian life. It does not contain all necessary truths about everything else. God gave us intelligence and conscience for us to use our intelligence and conscience. I do need to look to scripture for instruction on being a good and dedicated employee of the company I work for.

Really?

In our country, we have the right to sue. But, in the Scriptures, there is a clear command that a believer should not take another believer to court. So, if a brother or sister in Christ legally wrongs you, you "right" is to take the believer to court; but by "God"s righteousness" you should not.

Which do you follow?

I have never sued anyone.

I'm not saying you have. It is a hypothetical question. In a hypothetical situation, do you follow your Constitutional rights, or do you lay down your rights in order to be obedient to the word of the Lord?

I just can't work up much interest in celebrities or politicians.

Local happenings & people I interact with play a much bigger part in my life.

A lot of people say this, but wht you don't realize is that everything politicians do affects you, personally, and you should have a say in what they do.

Exactly. It's too dangerous to not have at least some attention to these things.

I don't. I don't look to any scriptures at all to tell me that I should be a hard worker and a good employee. Should I?

I'm not saying you have. It is a hypothetical question. In a hypothetical situation, do you follow your Constitutional rights, or do you lay down your rights in order to be obedient to the word of the Lord?

There are lots of can do(s). For example, one has the constitutional right to lie, or cheat, or open up a topless bar for the matter, but that does not mean they should. However, in a democracy, we have every right to question our elected leaders, and it is our responsibility to do so.

There are plenty that tell us that we should. It seems that you are selective regarding which areas of your life to whcih you will allow scripture to speak

Does one honestly need to consult their Bible to know they need to work hard and be a good employee? God gave us a conscience and a sense of right and wrong. There are plenty of versus in the Bible on murder, but one could never so much as pick up a Bible a day in their life and know that murder is wrong. To say that one needs to consult their Bible to know they need to be a good employee is like saying "Well, I thought about just up and killing that neighbor of mine that I don't like, but after reading my Bible I decided against it."
