3 Quotes From...

Hillary the Theologian
--by Joseph Farah
March 24, 2006

"Don't you love politicians who choose to make moral and biblical arguments when it pleases them, usually with no basis in reality, and then say others have no business imposing their morality on anyone else. I guess somehow Hillary and her friends have a monopoly on the right to impose their morality on the rest of us."

"Just how exactly this piece of legislation would criminalize Jesus, I won't even speculate. This is just the kind of hyperbole we have come to expect from Hillary, her family and her party. They'll say anything, whether it makes any sense or not."

"By the way, just so you understand how Washington really works, the proponents of this bill want to drop the felony provision. It was Hillary's party that insisted it stay – assuming the bill would be defeated with such an amendment. They were wrong. Now the very people who voted for the felony provision are its biggest critics... When Hillary casts aspersions against those who want to make it a felony to be an illegal alien, she is casting stones not at her Republican opponents, but at her fellow Democrats who insisted on the provision as part of their political gamesmanship."


Personal Note: Taking a closer look at Hillary's controversial statement, it becomes apparent she has little, if any, biblical understanding:

What does the Good Samaritan have to do with immigration? I mean, in the context of the parable Jesus told? What relevance? None.

Why would Jesus be "criminalized" if he were subject to the immigration bill currently getting aired in Washington? Jesus wasn't an illegal alien? He was born a jew in the city of David... a jewish community.

Why would Hillary herself be criminalized under this self-same immigration bill? Does she employ illegals? Is she herself an illegal? Does she fancy herself a good samaritan? Or a messiah? Let's Look again at Joseph Farah's commentary...

"The Bible speaks out clearly and forcefully against homosexuality, but Hillary glorifies it.

"The Bible speaks out clearly and forcefully against taking innocent human life and on the personhood of the unborn baby, yet Hillary says abortion is a fundamental right.

"The Bible speaks out against lying, but here she goes again."


On count one? Guilty.
Count two? Guilty.
Three? [sigh] Guilty.

What makes a person good? What does a person have to do to be good? Since Hillary invoked the Bible in her ridiculous statement, let's use the biblical definition...

A good person is one who keeps God's commandments every minute of every day of ones entire life. In effect, to be perfect. Now, for Man, perfection is impossible, but as I've said before; just because perfection is impossible doesn't mean there isn't merit in pursuing it.

So if Hillary were to die in her sins, what standard would God use to judge her? Well, because she died in her sins, she's not under grace, therefore the only other standard remaining is The Law... The Ten Commandments. God said, [and I paraphrase] "if you want to be righteous in My eyes you must keep My commandments."

"To Keep" implies an ongoing process of "Maintenance", and as God is eternal, the level to which a man or woman must maintain or keep God's commandments must therefore be a lifelong endeavor. Remember what I said about "perfection" and "impossiblility"? Good luck on that endeavor.

So, Hillary. Let's examine the commandments and see if you're a good person... good enough to be righteous before God.

Have you ever told a lie? Even a small one? What does that make you?

Have you ever taken something that didn't belong to you? No matter how small? What do we call people who steal?

How about this one. Jesus said if a man looks on a woman to lust after her, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Have you, Hillary, ever looked at a man with lust? Of course you have... We've all had lustful thoughts at some point in out lives.

Have you ever used God's name as a curse word?

Well then, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterous, blasphemer-- and we've only looked at four commandments --and you're standing before God right now. God's word says no liar, no thief, no fornicator, no adulterer, no blasphemer will enter into heaven, but will have their place in the lake of fire, where the "worm dies not", and torment never ceases.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

Suppose you were caught driving 90mph through a park designated for only 10mph; a park for blind and deaf children... with a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit! The judge says you have to pay a 500 million dollar fine or spend the rest of your life in prison. Can you pay that fine? I thought not. But wait! There's a man standing in the back of the courtroom asking to approach the bench. He tells the judge he wants to pay your fine. Do you accept his offer? You'd be crazy not to!

Jesus Christ did the same thing for you 2000 years ago. God himself took on mortal flesh and lived a sinless life, and died blameless on a cross that you might not have to pay your debt of sin-- A debt you could never pay no matter how many lives you were given.

The bible says "it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgement." Now you have to stand before a Holy God and give an account of your life. will you be found guilty or innocent? Without Jesus we are all guilty.
