Sychophants of the Christian Religion

 Shame on you leeches of the Christian religion/faith; you callously talk about your million dollar homes as a blessing from GOD while you are milking His people who can barely afford rent and of which some are homeless.  Shame on you leeches of the Christian religion/faith; you so callously push for legislative measures off the backs of those who can least afford it; you eagerly espouse your twisted interpretation of the Scriptures while fleecing those Jesus Christ called “the least of these”.

 

 You sycophants of religion; using the Word of GOD to benefit yourselves within the political and religious arenas. You deny the wisdom of science to justify your lack of stewardship on this orb and global warming; you justify stealing from the poor to benefit the wealthy by using the Scripture “if a man does not work, he does not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10) while forgetting that this Scripture is about ministers, not being a burden to those they preach.  That is the only and let me repeat the “ONLY” Scripture to your utilization because the very religion you purport to follow informs the reader far too often of our responsibility to the poor, to “the least of these”; or do you have selective memories?  Paul may have written a great amount of letters in the New Testament but it is not he for whom the religion/faith was built upon; that would be Jesus Christ.  What was the summation of Christ’s reference to “the least of these”, pray tell?  “Whatever you do [or not do] to the least of these my brothers [and sisters], you do also to Me” (Matthew 25: 31 -46).  Do you even understand that He takes this personally?   I surmise that you leeches stopped the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) phase because you could not nor would not acknowledge the burden He carried and requested of us.  Those of you in the religious arena support Republicans who do not ascribe to the life of Jesus Christ; in words only do this group of political sycophants ascribe to Christ but in reality and deeds they do not.  You in the religious arena have not informed your political counterparts of GOD’s warning which states “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune which they have prescribed to rob the need of justice and to take what is right from the poor of My people; that widows may be their prey and that they rob the fatherless” (Isaiah 10:1-2).  Those of you in the religious arena are far worse than those religious sycophants in the political arena. Why?  Because in your refusal to stand up for those Jesus Christ calls “the least of these”, you have shown your hubris that you support “these people [who] draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me and in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men” (Matthew 15: 8-9 & Mark 7: 6-7).  The doctrine of men would include the stealing from the elderly, the poor, and fatherless children the opportunity to eat by eliminating or decreasing the Food Stamp program; the several attempts to eradicate the Affordable Care Act, when Jesus showed us by healing all who approached Him, Gentile and Jew alike, that people being healthy was important to Him.  The doctrine of men would be taking away a woman’s right to make decisions for her own body.  Pompous hypocrites, are you so arrogant that you do not realize that abortions were happening when Jesus walked this Earth?  If GOD loved this world enough to allow us to make our own choices; why do you have the audacity to think you can supersede our Creator? You feign pro-life while your support for legislations to oppress those different from yourselves is denying life on a plethora of levels.  All of you sycophants talk and behave as though you are better than those outside of your poisonous circle when “in truth, I perceive that GOD shows no partiality” (Acts 10:34 & Romans 2:11).

 Ah, but the pièce de résistance comes from you not yet realizing that when Jesus walked this Earth, He did not associate with the politically and religiously conservatives of His day.  You should check out Matthew 7: 21 – 23.  You sycophants in the religious and political circle forget that when you call others what you deem as a dirty word, liberal, that the first liberal was Jesus Christ; you toss around another word as though it was dirty, socialist, and yet you forget that Jesus Christ was a socialist by His lifestyle.  He had no permanent address and while I do not decry you and your families living well; I fault you for having more than one home when the very people who send monies to your ministries and campaigns are in need of help and you refuse to help them.  I guess you must have forgotten the Scriptures that say “But whoever has this world’s goods and sees his brother [or sister] in need and shuts up his [or her] heart…..how does the love of GOD abide in him [that individual]? (1 John 3: 17 – 18) and “We then, who are strong, ought to bear the scruples of the weak and not to please ourselves” (Romans 15:1).  You build million to billion dollar churches when that is not required, for we are told “GOD, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands” (Acts 17:24).

I will close by reminding any and all readers that in following the aforementioned sycophants, know that they do not have the answer nor are they correct.  How do I know that?  Because they who think they speak for GOD does not.  First, the Scriptures says that “GOD has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise and GOD has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are mighty” (1 Corinthian 1:27) and He showed us.  When Jesus was born, the angels of GOD were sent to those at the bottom of the economic ladder, the shepherds and the star was not sent to any of the political or religious leaders of Israel; it was sent to three Gentile kings.  Second, in the first chapter of Matthew, in the physical genealogy of Jesus Christ, there are three women mentioned: Tamar (Matthew 1:3), who had children by her father-in-law (Genesis 38), Rahab (Matthew 1:5) a Gentile prostitute (Joshua 2), and Ruth (Matthew 1:5), another Gentile (Book of Ruth). Finally,   if one reads the four Gospels, one can see that the life of Jesus Christ is not emulated by any of the aforementioned.  Indeed, the followers of Jesus Christ exemplified His life in “now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common” (Acts 4:32 – 37).  The emphasis here is not on giving away what one has, the emphasis here is being there for each other.  At the end of the day, “go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice.  For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matthew 9:13); of which we are all sinners but how we treat those who among us who are “the least of these” is the true testament to one’s faith or belief.
