Full title: Perry: "I Don't Think You Have a Heart" If You Oppose In-State Tuition for Children of Illegal Immigrants
Perry's response was forceful and personal. "I don't think you have a heart," Perry told his critics.
"If you say that we should not educate children who come into our state for no other reason than that they've been brought their through no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart," Perry said. "We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society. I think that's what Texans wanted to do. Out of 181 members of the Texas legislature when this issue came up [there were] only four dissenting votes. This was a state issue. Texas voted on it. And I still support it today."

No, you are cherry picking some of the passages when clearly others do not say this. Are you a Theologian?
You are proving my point and a hypocrite on this issue
Els, do you have the judging verses handy?
"I Don't Think You Have a BRAIN if you don't follow the 'children' home and give them and their 'parents' a free ride to the border; where Mom and Dad can decide to leave their kids in the USofA's protective custody while they get sent back over the border or take their kiddies with them.
Are you a Theologian?
- - - -
Actually, yes I am.
Really....where is your Theology degree from? I want to make sure to send a letter to them that some of their students apparently slept through class and learned to cherry pick parts of the bible and ignore other parts to make their case.
LOL. Moody Bible Institute - Chicago. Top of my class.
You are the one cherry picking, not me. But, go ahead, continue in your ignorance. I tried to correct you, my part is done.
The lie that Christians are not to judge is not only demonic, but a liberal lie as well.
Try reading John Stott or Erwin Lutzer’s book “Who are you to judge?”
Oh and what parts have I ignored? The Bible is to be read in full for context on certain doctrines and discernment (judging) is one of them.
Maybe if you actually read the Bible or took a basic theology class you would see the truth. But I doubt you will bother. Just like Mormons you would rather wallow in ignorance than pursue the truth.
For your edification. Since you claim to be a Christian and accused me of judging others faith...try a little research. You are the one who says it doesn’t matter what someone believes than drug out Matt 7. To which I responded we are to not judge hypocritically, to which you replied that I was ‘cherry picking’ verses and not using them properly.
Here are several articles from other theologians on why it is proper for Christians to judge other Christians beliefs, teachings and actions. Also I recommend Erwin Lutzer’s book that I mentioned above about Christians judging.

One of the reasons for the Church being in such a sickly condition today is that believers have not obeyed the commands of God’s Word to judge error. “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them” (Romans 16:17). The false teachers make the “divisions,” and not those who protest against their errors.
An often misapplied Scripture is “Judge not” (Matthew 7:1). This is a command against hypocritical judgment, and is not directed to those who in love and sincerity discern whether a teacher or teaching is true or false to the Word. “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:1-5).
Actually, the last statement of this Scripture commands sincere judgment: “then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” We are not to forget nor seek to avoid the fact that our Lord Jesus commanded us to “judge righteous judgment.” He commended one, “Thou hast rightly judged.” He asked others, “Why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?” (John 7:24; Luke 7:43; 12:57). Paul wrote, “I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.” Again, “He that is spiritual judgeth all things” (1 Corinthians 10:15; 2:15). http://withchrist.org/judge.htm
Since this topic got started about Romney’s Mormonism and its false teachings, here is a link that addresses that specific subject (false teachings)...

Here is a Catholic one for you.

Oh, and I can give you many more, even more Catholic ones if you would like that state the exact same thing. You are not only out of your Church’s view, you are out of the view of Christianity in general and have failed to properly understand Matt 7.
So, yes, I DID pay attention in theology and biblical studies courses. Game set match.
