Profanity that's just plain wrong.

-- Obama loves Jesus really -- did you hear this comments this week at the national day of prayer not only did Obama mention Jesus that he took it up a notch and declared that.

Jesus was supporting the Obama plan for higher taxes.

Now I searched all over the new testament.

You know I actually have a religion degree among my academic pursuits.

But the clearest thing that I could find about Jesus and tax policy was pretty simple -- summed up like this number one.

Taxes are necessary.

Number two pay what you -- that's about it.

Render unto Caesar that which is caesar's and render unto god that which is he has.

I'm Jesus was serious enough about paying his own tax is that even though he was corps he got a coin from the mouth of a fish to pay his taxes.

I believe that the president has his way we're gonna have to be doing a lot of fishing and we better hope that a bunch of -- -- been eating points.

No offense to our new Bible teacher to theologian in chief -- but he might want to rethink invoking the name of Jesus to sell us tax plan.

We are to render unto Caesar what we -- -- even when Caesar is corrupted -- what he gets -- uses -- report stuff that we don't even like her agree with.

But it's the last part of what Jesus said that.

Maybe the president missed render unto god that which is gods for a man who only gave 1% of his income away.

And President Obama might not be in a real strong position to tell anyone what god wants.

God requires a dime from each of -- dollars that we earned in the expression of the -- that's kind of our minimum contribution.

And as an expression that we trust god -- than 90% that we keep.

You know I'm really not in the mood to take a lecture about helping -- from.

Anyone who believes the Jesus wants us to pass the poor people off to the government so the Christians can sell officially keep all they have.

C is the church not the government to ought to be doing all the helping the poor.

But if we follow maybe then government example and give a paltry 1% to church and then expect the government to do charity.

What we're gonna end up with a is a government that wants not a dime out of a dollar but not any sense out of the dollar now look this is not just Obama.

It's any candidate Democrat or Republican.

Who claims to love Jesus and wants to help poor people.

Let me tell you something we'll get his or her personal contributions.

It says all you need to know about how serious they are.

And when someone tells you how much they love Jesus to get your vote C if they love him enough to Obey him and give it.

-- that they steal from god they'll probably rob you blind it's that's.

Okay.
