"President" says Christ is cynical about poverty - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
Georgetown University hosted a panel discussion about poverty on May 12. The "president" was there, making his case for why government programs and taxation of corporations fulfills the mission of Christ and the Church by taking care of the poor. He used the platform for both promoting a communistic viewpoint on social economic engineering, and for lecturing Christians about conforming to his twisted and misguided viewpoint of the Holy Scriptures. The "president" went so far as to imply that Jesus Christ was cynical about the poor and that ending poverty was a defining issue "to capture the essence of who we are as Christians" rather than a "nice to have" issue like same sex marriage or abortion.
In his opening remarks, the "president" took a swipe at Christ, saying: "And I think it's important when it comes to dealing with issues of poverty for us to guard against cynicism, and not buy the idea that the poor will always be with us and there's nothing we can do -- because there's a lot we can do. The question is do we have the political will, the communal will to do something about it." He was referring to references of Christ in Matthew 26:11, Mark 14:6 and John 12:8, saying "For you have the poor always with you; but me you have not always." The "president" is saying that we have to guard against cynicism and then refers to what Christ said about the poor. Hence, he is saying Jesus is cynical about the poor.
Communists have often used the Bible to justify collective social economics. The "president" did so at Georgetown by posing the question of whether Americans have the "communal will" to do something about poverty. He said that a job was the best solution to poverty, yet he belittled political conservatives believing the free market, not government, creates jobs. He did not mention that under his Administration there are a record number of people not in the job force because they have given up on finding a job. This underscores the problem: government cannot solve the problem of poverty. Historically, communism has caused poverty to increase. Capitalism has created more wealth and jobs than any system.
Notwithstanding, communists the world over, although they deplore and reject all religion, are quick to hijack the heartstrings of the church to control the pursestrings of society. Government acting as the benefactor to the poor does not work because it is compulsory. People who work are forced to pay taxes to support those who do not work. In Christianity, people willingly and freely give to the poor as a matter of the heart. As Deuteronomy 15:11 says, "For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, you shall open your hand wide unto your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land." In this, there is blessing because it is acting from the abundance of the heart upon the command of God, not a government mandate with an ungodly agenda.
