Correcting Politically Correct Religious Utterances

It is good to finally get the affirmation that
-------------------------------------
"The word of God does NOT tell us to give thanks FOR everything Religious folk tell us to do that, when the devil is kicking you in the teeth and stealing from you. The word of God tells us to be thankful IN all situations and circumstances."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
And for those who equally say "It is well" as a response to those who are going through hard times or have suffered a misfortune, please be aware that what the word says in Isaiah 3:10 is that "It shall be well." It is obviously not well that someone has loved a loved one, a job, their residence, their marriage, or had an accident, so please IF you have nothing better to say or are not conversant with the actual wordings of the Bible don't rub salt to the afflicted person's injuries by saying "It is well", rather than "It SHALL BE well."

Political correctness does not fit into religious concepts. Be human instead.

Also, the bible does NOT ask you to love everybody AS yourself. While you are requested to love other human beings (including your enemies) [Matt. 5:24] because they are equally God's creation, the ONLY people you are required to love AS YOURSELF are your NEIGHBOURS [Matt 22:39], whom Jesus defined as those who are the good Samaritans in your life, aka those who are there for you in time of (dire) need, aka those who would IF necessary lay their lives up for yours (or least donate blood, a kidney or their organs at death).

Neither shall you (your 3rd or 4th generation) bear the consequences for your father or mother's sins, except you equally commit the same sins. The Bible say's "EACH man Shall bear his own sin". The curse pronounced upon the 3rd and 4th generations is reserved for those who HATE God.

Thank you.

Found this interesting in light of recent political events in the US...I am referring to the events related to the Chicago Church Obama attends.  I think it would be best for AA and the Church in general to remember this passage from Exodus...that it does have the qualifying statement regarding those who hate God.  They should also remember chapter 18 of Ezekiel...where the bible clearly states that it is the soul that sins that'll be purnished.
