"What makes the relationship with the government arbitrary is the fact that the government can and does exceed the limitations the constitution placed on it" If that were true it would only be true in the particular not in the general. So your characterization is wrong, regardless... "I meant simply that the federal government exceeds the authority granted to it by the constitution and has for many years" You originally said it was arbitrary. This last is a clear improvement... "However I doubt that your opinion would extend to the point of considering every law just or every violation of a law wrong. If it does I disagree with that opinion" That is not what I said. I simply made the obvious point that individuals (such as yourself) do not define what is right for the social group--not unless you are a dictator with the appropriate preponderance of weapons... "A minimum safety net amounts to preventing those who can't work from starving" Now THAT would be against the Constitution... "Where is she threatened with hell?" She is not specifically "threatened" with Hell. But the bible makes it very clear that just as Jesus requires the rich to give everything in order to enter his kingdom...so does he require "everything" of the poor. Salvation does not count money...it considers what one values. I think the point Jesus was making was to give to Caesar on earth, and to God for what follows. The basic message was to give away everything you have--especially if someone asks for it..."if a man has two cloaks, etc...")
