These are all paid for by taxation. How else would you do it? _________________ Bro US, I have already shown how for some people their medical treatment truly was free, because they were taking out more than they were putting in. Others will put in and take nothing out because they never need it. Therefore some will put in, and others will take out. Car insurance works in exactly the same way; it is compulsory, and some will never claim, others will claim a lot. I might put in ÂŁ3,000 over ten years and after an accident my insurance company may have to pay out ÂŁ500,000 to a third party. So I paid the first ÂŁ3,000 but the rest of it was paid for by others. In other words, not by me. Thanks for your thoughts and examples, You also have a good day |

The NHS, sister BMac is the one playing semantics, not IIf I pay for a plane ticket online and then print it out and go to the airport to board my plane, when I go through security, the gates and board the plane I don’t pay any money at the point of use . Would you say the airline is correct to come out and say my flight was free at the point of use? No, because I paid for it, in your case it is through fees, taxes, NI, at the gas pump,etc. Not free at any point |

John UK wrote: Bro, I have had many operations on the NHS which were absolutely free. I also have free prescriptions here in Wales. You are not thinking deeply enough, brother. Thanks John for the examples. Despite claims to the contrary not trying to get in a quarrel here. Your operations were not without cost. The doctors were paid and all the other things involved in it cost money. You would say the government (NHS)paid for it. The government gets its money for such things from people like you, Adriel and BMacCausland through fees, high gas prices, taxes,etc. You've been paying into it for decades brother. The NHS isn't a magical money machine. The money that was used to pay for your operations and your prescriptions came from mainly citizens like you who live there. It is not free, never has been and never will be. |

Unprofitable Servant wrote: You could say it is prepaid through taxes and high fuel cost. It is like a buy ohe get one free offer, the second item is at no extra cost but if you didn't spend the money for the first one you wouldn't be able to enjoy the second one "free". That doesn't even count the cost of excessive delays, limited time with an actual physician, denied procedures and even out of pocket co-pays. To say it is free at any point is at best, misleading. as long as it is approved by the NHS board |

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: He turns it wherever He will. Proverbs 21:1whye are we to pray for those in authority, there is a specific purpose in mind For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. I Timothy 2:2 The only way that happens is if the Lord works His will in the lives of our leaders and in the laws they pass and decisions they make. We oray that God would turn their hearts to the saving of the unborn. We have more and more harsher laws against abortion being passed in some states and also in some states wide latitude to do "abortions" after the child is born alive. Psalm 102 17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. 18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. 19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth; 20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death ______ anybody know what happened to dear brother Christopher000? |

John UK wrote: Bro US, thanks for the links, will look up later. Sure, Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against God's elect. This is what Calvinism teaches. But the Bible also teaches that many will scrape in, rather than enter victoriously. It seems as though the majority want to be scrapers rather than victors. If you check out Mark 11:21-24, especially the conclusion in v24, tell me, have you ever heard a good message on v24? A message which resulted in an improved prayer life? Or are you happy to go on year in year out doing the same old, same old? Man, please wake up, this is hard going. Thanks John and your are welcome for the links. Thanks for the challenge and admonition May by God's grace and for His glory we pray with the disciples, Lord increase our faith and may we with the Apostle Paul press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus! God bless. |

John UK wrote: Bro US, thank you for your reply. It is what I would expect from much of the Christian community, yet is far from satisfactory. This is due to either lack of thought, unbelief, or simply just not taking the teachings of Jesus seriously. ... First, thank you James Thomas for you very kind words. Brother John, not sure how the blab it grab group became part of your post. Mind if ask you, do you think that because our Lord stated that the gates of hell will not prevail against Christ’s church that there is always out there a remnant according to the election of grace of true believers who are walking in the light as our Lord is in light? btw, I agree we need to listen to and read the works and sermons of people like Ravenhill and Tozer. Tozer;s book The Pursuit of God is available on SA https://tinyurl.com/us5ydo9 Well worth the time to listen to it. If you wish instead to read it (or read while it is being read) below is a link to it in pdf format. http://www.ntslibrary.com/PDF%20Books/Tozer_Pursuit_of_God.pdf |
