    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    I heard this one once when I was arguing furiously with a Christian like 10 years ago. I'd take it with a grain of salt - seems like a form of poetry that's been lost to history. Anatomically, our literal heart inclines to the left for what that's worth.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    But the Laws of Moses clearly show just how progressive they were. The Law provided for everybody, no matter their position or power. See how God's laws to the Israelites insisted that all should be provided for.....by law! Exodus {22:25} If thou lend money to [any of] my people [that is]...

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    My bible is the NASB, but I often use the KJB because that is the bible used by most Protestants who post on this site, but I often just use the Google version, which is generally the NIV...

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    It came from the New English Translation (the translation I once heard recommended by a Biblical scholar here, so it tends to be my go-to translation). How many translations did you have to cherry-pick through before you found the one that you quoted?

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    Your verse does not come from the bible, but is a revision from "Kings, Folly and wisdom". You need all the revisions you can get your hands on. Kings, Folly, and Wisdom | Ecclesiastes 10:1-20.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    I have a different rendering of Ecclesiastes 10:2: A wise person’s good sense protects him,[e] but a fool’s lack of sense leaves him vulnerable.[f] Maybe good advice for you to take, considering this thread.

    Looks like you just like to expose your nasty bias against liberals. Good thing Jesus never taught to love your enemies.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    Extreme effort to justify Donald Trump deliberately neglecting the traditional understanding of scripture.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    Lol. I suppose that is one way to look at it, but I kind of feel that left and right had notably different contextual definitions over the course of time.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    I doubt very seriously that has anything to do with today's politics. It's more to do with yesteryears superstitions.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    The context of Ecclesiastes 10:2 leans the other way. It is referring to the Progressive "fools" of the left, "those who commit lawlessness" (Mt 13:41-43), as with the godless/lawless Marxist Progressives, and the "wise" of the right, the "righteous", who will do what is right, and keep the...

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    Is this where left handed people became vilified, and for ... who knowns how long ... these people were forced to become right handed? What more left/right nonsense came from interpreting the Bible wrong?

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    I think the right means in this to that what is good, true and just.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    The concept of left vs. right politics didn't exist in ancient Judea, so the insinuation is imbecilic.

    How does Scripture define the left (Progressives) from the right (conservatives)?

    The metaphor in the verse seems to me an example of the age-old notion that the left direction is associated with evil, inauspiciousness, bad omens, etc. For instance, consider the etymology of the word sinister: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sinister A similar association can be...

    Ecclesiastes 10:2 A wise man’s heart inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.

    Unbridled Capitalism is self-destructive

    Ecclesiastes 10 1 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as he walks along the road, the fool lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is.

    History is scary. The present even scarier....

    Or 7:10. A couple of points. Re Luke: Most modern scholars agree that the main sources used for Luke were a), the Gospel of Mark, b), a hypothetical sayings collection called the Q source, and c), material found in no other gospels, often referred to as the L (for Luke) source.[7] The author...

    History is scary. The present even scarier....

    Your ^ above ^ post reminds me of the words found at Ecclesiastes 10:7. 'Don't say the former days were better', and Jesus agrees at Luke 9:62.

    Has GOP/US right gone as mad as it seems?

    Although some individuals may struggle with LRD more than others, discriminating between left and right in the face of distraction has been shown to impair even the most proficient individual's ability to accurately differentiate between the two. This issue is of particular importance to medical...
