Cracker Barrel Fires 73-Year-Old Veteran Who Gave Food To 'Needy' Man

[Zaac]

... and don't worry about it if you lie, cheat and steal to do so???

You're confused. CTB didn't lie, cheat or steal to show the love and compassion of Christ for the poor and needy so your comment is irrelevant to my post.:thumbsup:

He's not confused. CTB is defending stealing from your employer in order to help others. That's the crux of this discussion, plain and simple.

Should a person always follow a rule or a law even if they consider it immoral?

There is a big difference here. This man was not forced to decide. If was he was moved to help the poor all he had to do was pay for the food and give it to him.

This regular implication that those who disagree don't manifest the love of God is offensive. No one has any idea what we do to meet the needs of the poor. I just don't feel compelled to give what belongs to someone else. That is not biblical giving.

What's immoral about saying "you can't give our food away"? The vet said in the interview that he would have paid for the muffin if Cracker Barrel had asked him; why didn't he just pay for the muffin without being asked?

Answer the question, CTB: did the vet take something that technically didn't belong to him, even if he did so for the right reason? If yes, then isn't that stealing? And isn't stealing immoral?

And if you answer "no, he did not take something that technically didn't belong to him", then please explain your reasoning.

Ask him. I have no idea why he didn't.

Technically it was not his. Was it immoral. I'd say the rule is immoral.

Now, answer my question, should a person always obey laws regardless?

I would rather be known as trying to help some person in need than in being preciousness and mean spirited.

By giving them someone else's food.

You and others remind me of the defense that former Nazis used during the Nuremberg trails, "I was just following orders."

Nazi defenders, CTBoy ? What depths of stupidity do you actually plan on descending to ?

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Keep displaying the love of Christ for the poor and in need CTB. :thumbsup:

By giving them someone else's stuff.

You two have a twisted sense of help. Can I help someone by giving them your stuff ? Oh, and I get to decide what stuff, not you two.


I've seen enough. We got two people who need to paint us as evil because they cannot justify their sin.

Apparently you and Zaac think so.

He is too confused as the crux of MY comment that I addressed him about pertained to CTB's character and not to anything the 73 year old did.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Ask him. I have no idea why he didn't.

You admit you have no idea of his intent.

Technically it was not his. Was it immoral. I'd say the rule is immoral.

So you get to pick and choose which laws you obey. seems you and Zaac should now hush up about those who rail against the zero's health care scam.

Now, answer my question, should a person always obey laws regardless?

This customer wasn't fired by the law, he was fired by his employer. If you want to keep your job, you need to follow their rules.

By giving them someone else's stuff.

You're confused here too. CTB didn't give anybody someone else's stuff. I spoke to CTB's character.

You two have a twisted sense of help. Can I help someone by giving them your stuff ? Oh, and I get to decide what stuff, not you two.

And a few of you have got such a twisted sense of arrogance and needing to be right, that you continue to comment about what you think was said instead of what was said.

I've seen enough. We got two people who need to paint us as evil because they cannot justify their sin.

And we got a handfull of others trying to attach the stealing of a 73 year old to CTB as though he stole something.

CTB has consistently said that the vet was right for giving the homeless man food that he didn't pay for and wasn't his to give. I agree with giving everywhere and any way I can; should I steal to do it?

Youre confused. I could not care less what you think, Mr. Justifier of Sin. Shame on you and him.

No, I can't answer yet. You admitted that the muffin didn't technically belong to the vet; but you didn't answer if what the vet did was stealing, and as such, was it immoral. Nor did you answer if it wasn't stealing, why it wasn't.

I didn't address CTB and anybody stealing anything. I addressed CTB's Christ honoring desire to help someone in need.

If you could care less, stop commenting about it.:thumbsup:

Is it Christ-honoring if it's used to justify stealing?

 

[JonC]

We look at things to justify them. If I steal a corn muffin then I suppose it is far worse than steeling a new car (at least from the standpoint of selling my integrity for a corn muffin…such a low price). It simply was not the man’s possession to give - we give out of what God has blessed us, not out of someone else’s belongings. This should not even be a questionable issue, and for those to whom it is, start with Exodus 20.

That is not what TND said at all. He applied a theoretical.
