Thank you for clarifying this. As Brother Thomas, I was taken with the righteous anger:
Ephesians 4:26 - Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
But seeing the clarification helps.
Deuteronomy 15:7-8
7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
Help only our people. That means cut foreign aid. Our Beloved Fearless Leader (
) is doing just that (and the rich are certainly his people).
Jeremiah 22:3 Thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
In context of Deuteronomy 20:16-18 we know that even "stranger" is defined as part of our people.
Micah 6: He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Amen! However irrational God's requirements may seem (like the shellfish or mixed fabrics stuff), they are from Him and they are good! Praise Jesus! (Or else!)
1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
And here we go again - the Biblical definition of "Brother" certainly does not include a dirty homeless PTSD-striken veteran who wants my money.
James 2:15-16
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
What can I say - as a chaste True Christian™ lady I have not seen any of my Brothers naked, and in the hypothetical event if a friend of mine had seen
some True Christian™ men a male True Christian™ in this condition, it was certainly not due to poverty and lack of food. Nevertheless, of course she did give them the things they said were needful for the body.
Only lazy people have no food:
Proverbs 10:4 - He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
We do well within the secular law - unfortunately we are not legally permitted to follow God's Rules when it comes to heathens (Exodus 17:14-16), family who disobeys God (Deuteronomy 13:6-10), homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13) and in general enemies of Jesus (Luke 19:27).
Luke 4:18-19
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Amen! Jesus is all about the poor pulling themselves by the bootstraps!
1 Corinthians 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
Just like our Greatest President (
) ever!!!
Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Exactly. We are expected to only help our own True Christian™ folks.
Proverbs 22:22-23
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23 For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
That's just common sense. Who in their right mind would rob the poor?! They have nothing to begin with!
