I don't think you want to trade Bible verses with me....but proceed at your own riskWant to see "Christian" wingers flee from a thread?
Post every Bible verse you can find quoting Jesus on how Christians should treat the poor and challenge them to reconcile it with their political "beliefs".
'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor."
Then the king will say to those at his right hand, "Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."
(I have a feeling wingers will get the left hand.)
Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
Soooooo....how many true believers are we actually dealing with here in winger Christiandom? How many behave as if this life is a millisecond in eternity? How many live as if it's a test where they've been provided all of the answers by Jesus?
Don't worry, wingers. It's not really hot in the lowest level of hell. Dante portrays the hypocrite's fate as having only their heads protruding from ice. Homer kicked one on the way by while he was giving him the tour.
2Thess:3:10 For while we were yet with you, we gave you this rule {and} charge: If anyone will not work, neither let him eat
