Why do they deserve Honor or respect?

We extend honor due to people who deserve such. Honor in the sense I am applying it and as defined in the dictionary is a reputation for being just, good, fair, decent. It is given also to a person in office as a sign of respect for the office, not necessarily the person. In ancient Rome the senators were mostly corrupt, thieves, swindlers, manipulators, greedy, yet they held a position of power and were given respect of the position not their person. In many cases it was out of fear. Rhetorically can it be that way today, fear of the consequences of speaking out?
This is what I find myself writing to today. I must say that I have written as judgmental as anyone, judging what these politicians do and what they fail to do in their position as a worker would be evaluated. Many do not like the style of my directness, yet it is the facts. They can ignore them, but they won't go away until people face them as reality.
So what I write to gets to the crux of honor and yes respect to me. What they do that destroys, takes, crushes, abuses, exploits, demeans which we call the laws they write and allow to be implemented by the greedy, the abusers, the exploiters and worse. Those that are not for the common good but for the benefit of the select few. For them to say "they know not what they do is also in my opinion a flagrant lie, distortion or incompetence. To be kind one might say incompetence but then step down you're evidently not worthy of holding the position. Your vanity not you skill, capability or knowledge is what holds you there.
Now to highlight my opinion I will only focus on credit card debt and one other flagrant issue immigration. For anyone to stand their and say and believe that these credit card companies do not destroy is the be quite frankly and in my opinion, a fool. To say what they charge as interest when they say you have defaulted is also in my opinion to be the fool. Yes like my Jackass article speaks to. The charges, fee's and everything else that drives people into bankruptcy is the sin they ignore.
Yes, they would rather shift it upon people. Yes they made the problem not them, these purveyors of good and justice of love and of God. You shouldn't have used the card. Yes all the while knowing we are a credit driven economy and many used them out of necessity while they still had a job, on time and good creditors until they lost employment.
Now these politicians do not ever approach it, they just don't and if they do, superficially like everything else. Why, well in my opinion money. It drives major industry form credit, to collections to the legal system. Yes it keeps millions employed and yes and perhaps they get a nice campaign contribution.
And even if you enter into an agreement, you solely and by yourself to get credit on a card and you default, they will pursue all who live with you, relatives and spouse even though they have nothing to do with that arrangement, agreement, that UNSECURED, no collateral debt. Your state and national government and these very professors, because you are not a responsible person in their opinion. You think not, then let them come and debate me openly for you all to see. When they come I will ask them and you can hear the dodge, the misdirection, the buck passing. You see I have formed the opinion while they are in office they do not represent me or anyone except the wealthy or big business. I have had that confirmed to me, yes confirmed, as the Word stated herein shall state. Therefore they are not due my respect and I certainly afford them no honor.
Just go check their record, they who want to make us more knowledgeable consumers. Go see who they are. Yes these persons of HONOR you hold in high esteem? Yes honor the position but only the person when their deeds match their words, their promises are kept, they deliver what they speak to. Yes otherwise you have no more then hot air, an empty shell, hollow on the inside, the Easter Bunny. They can profess all they want to speak of God, quote scripture, sit in high places at church events, shake hands with leaders in the church and be seen every Sunday at church but that is nothing, no nothing compared to their works, their deeds.
I quote Luke Chapter 6 verse 46, Catholic Action edition
"but why do you call me. "Lord" "Lord" and NOT PRACTICE the things that I say?"
The same in the New American Bible and in the red Letter King James version.
So I ask very directly to you and yes even to them,
Why do they deserve Honor or respect?
I have not seen demonstrated by their works, in what they have done and certainly in what they have failed to do. If you have, where? Is it in the laws that allow the abuse of average Americans who are in debt. The choking of America? I will agree a debt of their own making. Made it willingly or out of necessity, regardless of the reason. Yet do not honorable people work out a plan that is reasonable and that you can afford to pay? If you were paying $75.00 a month for supposedly 60 months to pay off the debt and you can't afford that, how by any logic does paying $100.00 a month solve that circumstance. Then again is "Comprehensive Immigration", the rewarding of the breaking of the law and theft regardless of how nice they sugar coat it, is it not sin? Jesus did not steal, nor exploit and no preacher, priest, cardinal, bishop, Samaritan or Rabbi or anyone else find that in the Word. No he did not condone it as well. No and there in is the fallacy of their words and deeds. No I need not go on their record speaks for them, not mine, not ours, theirs. Oh I forgot you are not interested in records. Yes Birds of a feather do Flock to Denver.
Yes where their heart is focused so is their God regardless of all they profess. In my opinion they are the destroyers of this age. They come in light to kill, destroy, take. They are in my opinion the wolves in sheep clothing. Yes, disagree, then it is time for you to reexamine yourself because the hand writing is on the wall. Yes Babylonia, right there to see or not, to believe or not.
Yes, misery all about and you can sit there and ignore. It says it all. I close with this from the book of Ecclesiasticus, Catholic Action Bible. I think it sums up all of my writings as only God can. Praise you my Lord God Jesus Christ for your Word, no man's, is just and true. and separates the dark from the light for all to see and hear who care to.

Ecclesiasticus Chapter 13 verses 19- 31.
19- Every beast loves its like; also every man that is nearest to himself. 20- all flesh consort with the like to itself and every man shall associate himself to his like, 21 if the wolf shall at times have fellowship with the lamb, so the sinner with the just. 22 What fellowship a holy man with a dog, or what part hath the rich with the poor? 23 the wild ass is the lions pray in the desert so also are the poor devoured by the rich. 24 And humility is an abomination to the proud; so also the rich man abhorrent the poor. 25 When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends; but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintances. 26 When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things and they have justified him. 27 The poor man was deceived and he is rebuked; also he hath spoken wisely and could have no place. 28 The rich man spoke and all held their peace, and what he said they extol to the clouds. 29 the poor man spoke and they say, Who is this? And if he stumbles they will overthrow him, 30 Riches are good to him that hath no sin in his conscience; and poverty is very wicked in the mouth of the ungodly. 31 The heart of a man changes his countenance, either for good or for evil.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)Robert, I would not claim nor pretend to know it all. I wouldn't want the burden, actually. There are many things I know for sure and try to remain true to them as they're truths in my life. I falter, stumble, err, mess up, am wrong, ask for forgiveness and repent. I move on to life that's waiting to be lived. What you've written about isn't surprising. The state of our world was prophesied thousands of years ago. People have become lovers of themselves more than lovers of God. When that happens, you tend to expect what's happening now, Bible prophesy being fulfilled.I do not live behind glass walls. I am not isolated from the horrors of this world, the injustices. Because of them, I have a very good prayer life. Inspite of them, I am blessed because although in this world, I am not of it. Being in Christ and living for Him gives us access to a different system than the one the world has. Yes, I have credit cards. No, I do not use them.I am happy you write to the crux of the matters because you expose and bring to light what many do not know and need to know. You reach down and lift up, out and retrieve. Thank you for being a man of honor and one I respect. And I mean that Biblically and by Webster's definition. *smile* May He continue to bless you with each keystroke.Please log in to respond to this comment.Ditto to you my most precious friend. "Comfort one another", yes you are the fulfillment of all that God asks of us and I am proud you are my sister. Keep me on the straight path and all blessing be upon you and yours. Robert, your friend in Christ and may he also bless you and yours. I *smile* every time I hear your voice and read your words!!!!!Please log in to respond to this comment.You're welcome, my friend. And Robert, thank you very much. I am blessed to have you call me friend . . . and to have you as a friend. Christ unites. *smile* Blessings to you and yours.
