Matthew 23:27: In this verse, Jesus criticizes the scribes and Pharisees, comparing them to "whitewashed tombs" which appear beautiful on the outside but are full of dead men's bones and uncleanness within. This imagery highlights their hypocrisy, suggesting they appear righteous outwardly but are full of sin and corruption inwardly.

Time to expose the hypocrisy and looting as flip sides of the same coin.

Daddy personally sent trump to do God’s will.
Christians no longer care for God’s only begotten son, they follow and bow to the one he adopted to get his wishes done.
Maybe Jesus can do a few miracles to put an end to his step brother.

on Nextdoor. After they posted their vile thoughts I told them to run it by Jesus. My post was removed but their racist, hateful posts about their fellow citizens are allowed.

'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 do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. ”

Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

Acts 4:32-35
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need."

Hebrews 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Thanks for the post. SOME people get it.

MAGAS in some states wanted to ordain the posting of The Ten Commandments in schools. Mebbe should've read em first.

[This is what the Lord says]
... "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard ... if you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."
