And let me just say, thanks for James Hutchins for pointing out this bible text for me. I am no expert so I do not know everything and his bible qoute earlier helped me find it. |
Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth:
But he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Two messages here both plain and simple. 1)Do not despise your neighbour. This simply means you have to live next ti them. Until you can make them move, do not give them cause to harass you. The second part is just as simple. 2)It means have mercy (feel sorry for) the poor as they are too stupid to know any better. Again, do not 'read into it', the Bible is plain, simple and direct. |

Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
I just discovered a very good functio of biblegateway.com that allows me to search a term and show me all of verses it was mentioned on.
Here are a few I found when I researched the word "poor". Please read them all as they are instructions from GOD. Please take note that all the texts are not in complete context as everyone can read the whole context on their own. Exodus 23:11, Leviticus 19:10, Leviticus 23:22 - As what I have mentioned earlier about the farming methids of the israelites. Leviticus 14:21, Leviticus 14:21, Leviticus 27:8 - It shows how the poor are given consideration in serving God, showing they are all in equal footing with rich man in front of God and letting them to worship and sacrifice what they can afford. Deuteronomy 15:7, Deuteronomy 15:11 - How the poor are given help, not just ignored. 1 Samuel 2:8 = The priveledge of the poor. The list goes on and it would be too exhaustive to list them all. Do a search of all verses if you are interested to learn more. |
