Kerry said: "The scriptures say, what does it profit, my brother, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?" Kerry told the congregation at New North Side Baptist Church. "When we look at what is happening in America today, were are the works of compassion?"

Kenton6, when we call ourselves Christian, people are going to take notice of our actions. Thus we need to be careful of what we do and say. Christ also said... Judge not, lest you be judged. It was a common theme of Jesus Christ that we will be judged in the same way that we judge. Thus humility is a virtue. The humble will be lifted up.
I must say, Kerry's remark is quite a low blow. I cannot think of another time when Scripture was used against a President in a race like this.
But let me also say, in defense of Kerry, that in this context... that of being in a church, the use of scripture may be appropriate?
Is the Gov't treasury George Bush's to give? Shows you how John Kerry thinks.
I wonder how much of his
own money or time, John has given to the poor and less fortunate....
Judge and ye shall be judged... Ouch!
