So what is his name if I DON'T need anything?

Probably Larry or something!

Oh you shouldn't have typed that! I had never thought of it that way, but now I'm gonna HAVE to ask someone the next time they say that to me!!!

So, if I read this scripture correctly, I'm supposed to be nicer to Christians than I am to sinners?

Actually, this scripture speaks to the way we TREAT people, not necessarily to who we give our business to.

I really don't think God cares who fixes my car, that's up to me to decide. And, I'm going to choose the better mechanic, not necessarily the better Christian.

It says, "...let us do good unto ALL men - ESPECIALLY - unto them WHO ARE OF the household of faith." I think while we look at "especially", we need to make sure we don't forget "all", but I'm sure you already agree with that.

I believe it is saying that however we could possibly be "useful" to someone. That is how I am reading it. We already know to be kind, it seems to mean a little more, IMO. I also believe, and I know you would agree, we should use discretion and wisdom in these matters.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown says, opportunity would be "As thou art able, and while thou art able, and when thou art able."

Let's look at it from a woman's point of view. I think we speak our opinion from experience, most times. I am taking the vehicle in for service. I have two good, skilled mechanics to choose from. One is a Christian and one is not. If I walk into the Christian man's shop, I don't have to listen to certain types of music or see certain types of calenders. Problem solved - I choose the Christian. I've been around my share of mechanics, Michael. I like a clean grease monkey, generally. Being a man, it may not be that important to you.

She's pretty modest compared to some calendars I've seen in garages
but we better not post any of those here on the forum.

The assumption here seems to be that all non-Christian mechanics will have devil music and pictures of naked, or near naked women hanging on their walls.

Not in my experience.

Either way, this is a debate that we will never resolve, I just like to play devil's advocate sometimes. I concur with what others have said, I've been cheated worse by Christians in my life time than non-Christians, by a long shot.

Doesn't mean all Christians are dishonest, and it doesn't mean that all non-Christians are honest. I think you just have to take it case by case.
