Man, who could have seen this happening in a million years?
You're viewing a single thread.
Weird. So much talk about "Christian conservatism" and how this is a "Christian nation" from the "Christian nationalists" and they forgot to read Matt 25: 43-45.
The verse is not about using your neighbors wealth to help someone, it's about using your own wealth to do so. The verse did not go.
I was a stranger and you did not invite me in to your neighbors house, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me with your neighbors clothing, I was sick and in prison and you did not have your neighbor look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not have your neighbor do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
Well then I suppose thats a good example of why "Christian nationalism" and the whole idea of a Christian nation doesn't make sense. Every single citizen of the Kingdom that is not of this earth is responsible for following the instructions of the King. Meanwhile here in America there are always excuses why we can't heal the sick or feed the hungry.
That's only true if you believe it's the government's duty to take care people.
The nanny state. Doesn’t interest me.
Donate to the charity you want but don’t use my tax money for programs that wasteful and ineffective.
Oh you guys. If you come upon someone hurt, do you say to yourself "I must make sure this is a US citizen before I try to help." Do you check for ID and an insurance card before administering first aid or calling an ambulance?
If you are not religious, fine, it doesn't matter: be as cynical and xenophobic as you like.
Anyone who says they are Christian or advocates for a "Christian nation" should understand that the parable of the good Samaritan applies not only to individuals but Christians collectively.
Anyone who uses religious language to make themselves seem moral and righteous, but then says illegals don't deserve healthcare, that person is a hypocrite. Don't vote for them.

Eh, that parable is about how individuals are to behave, it doesn't apply to states. Also a true #Christian nationalist would be okay with if not in support of an apartheid state, with unbelievers being excoriated from society if not excluded from the country.

Ah yes. Unlike other politicians.
You are free to heal the sick or feed the hungry. Nobody is stopping you from using your money to do either. Donate to any charity you see fit.
By heal the sick and feed the hungry, did you mean line the pockets of politicians?
