They should not do so in order to gain more money than they were legally entitled to for example.<br />the fact that a long list of MP'S were put under the spotlight for cheating and were found guilty clearly shows that the selflessness rule was deliberately ignored.<br />but this was to be Expected because people should always remember that a man was once inspired to write about the attitudes of people in the future and one of the things he wrote was that men or people in general would be lovers of money and of themselves and that they would be betrayers.<br />THE MP's that were involved in the expenses scandal unwittingly gave credence to those prophesies.<br />so the fact that Clive Heaphy Felt the need to write about the council's recent survey clearly shows that once again the words of the Apostle Paul are trustworthy and that people are indeed lovers of money and selfish too.<br />and also if people clearly ignore guidelines about how much money they are entitled to then then they are clearly ignoring the bible's warning about dishonesty and greed.<br />which puts a huge question mark in my opinion of this nations faith because Christian principles act if you you like as a spiritual carpet cleaner.<br />it's purpose is to help clean out the bad traits and replace them with good ones.<br />therefore if any nation claims to be Christian then their actions should match their words.<br />a nation in which Christianity is the number one religion there should be less crime...there should be no such things as MP'S expenses scandals and Clive shouldn't have to be writing helpful reminders because one has been written for our benefit and if we do more than go to church on Sundays and eat turkey on DEC 25th and actually apply the principles found in the bible <br />we would find that human society would be much better.<br />Paul also said that people would put on a show of godly devotion but prove false to its power to change people for the better.<br />those words must apply to someone and sadly I think it applies to us.Trevornoreply@blogger.com
