Christian conservatives Say the Poor and Needy should be helped by God, not the Government !!! After just posting an article about the Christian conservatives not wanting to follow the commands of Jesus Christ. I noticed one constant running throughout the comments of the "conservative christians" they all said the poor and needy should be taken care of by the individuals and not by the government funded programs. Even though I tried to explain to them that many Christians pay theirtaxes and want to help the poor and needy over giving corporations handouts and paying for food not be grown. Most were insistent that the government had no place in helping the poor with tax money because it is not given willingly or donated it is taken from us.
Now I don't know about you. But I have have heard an awful lot of the conservatives running for a place on the ballot for the President of the USA claiming to be Christians. One of things they all seem to have in common is their hatred of the poor people in America. They all want to make life harder on them by restricting what the government will do for them with tax payer money. Remember that is tax payer money, not conservatives money, not liberals money, not moderates money. Tax payers money to be used to benefit the well being of this nation, not just the wealthy or conservatives !!!
I agree the poor and needy should be helped by God. I pray that God does not allow the conservatives to get control and make it worse than it is already for the less fortunate. We need less greedy corporate conservatives in office and more moderate Christians and people in office. We need people that realize that God does help people through the government as well, because there are to many greedy conservatives who are like the Pharisees that Jesus Christ rebuked and warned against. We need to make sure our voices are heard loud and clear and that the tares in the churches are shown as the poison they are. Weeds that attempt to pass themselves off as wheat are still weeds. By their fruit you will know them.
If they live in greed they are a weed. God knows who loves Him and who loves the money, He is not fooled by them. Oh and another thing. They love to throw around the redistribution by tax agenda. The wealthiest have had their taxes cut and reaped a harvest at the cost to the working people who have lost through the tax cuts and reductions and are now looking at deeper cuts if taxes are not raised. Jesus wasn't moved by the amounts of money the wealthy donated, because they gave of their excess not of their living.
Let me just end by saying. If we live in Jesus Christ our lives are for Him, and we do as He said to do. Not as the wealthies' mouth pieces tell us to live, especially when they cannot find the scriptures in the Bible to rebutt the fact that their love of wealth is not biblical. God uses who He will as He will and that includes governments and believers just as well as non believers.
