The Least of These

I would like to amplify a comment I made on a post below, which was based on the following*:

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.


Okay, you "Christian" guys that opposed giving health care to poor people, and who said "let the Guantanamo prisoners rot- who cares if they are guilty?" and who hated foreigners and people of other religions, get ready! You're going straight to hell!


* From the King James version- substitute your own if you like, as long as it's not the new Conservative bible- a.k.a. the lieble.

"that opposed giving health care to poor people"

I'm for it.

"who hated foreigners and people of other religions"

I don't hate anyone.

Now where in there does it say the government should remove the choice to give and take from everyone in order to provide crappy services to everyone, not just the poor?

Jesus is speaking to us as Christians, not to the government. He wants us to act, not the government. It is our responsibility as Christians to provide for the sick, hungry, and poor, not the government.
