poor

    Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. (Lk 6:20b)

    I recently read this comment on the verse: this means "blessed are those of you who are poor in material things and who are my disciples and thus are putting your trust in God". This comment seems to be putting forth the view of the worthy and unworthy poor. Contrast this with another comment...

    Sheep and Goats

    Matthew 25:31-46 talks about The Lord taking the nations of the world and separating them into 2 groups. The sheep are the ones who cared for the sick, gave to the poor, etc., but the Goats did not. Sheep go to heaven, goats to hell. My question is: Do the sheep include atheists and...

    We are in a Time of Oppression of the Poor, Biblical Response?
