There's no sympathy for the poor, the widows, the destitute, only sympathy for the Devil. The billionaires and multi-millionaires serve mammon, not God. The pigs with their nightsticks and guns are so brave and proud and ruthless as they sweep the defenseless homeless from the sidewalks like they're vermin leaving them no place to go. The people in power don't really care - "We need the money for our families" one government official declared as they voted themselves raises.

All will be held accountable by the Lord for their actions on earth. The rich will be sent away empty while the poor will be filled. Evil will be punished and the good will prevail.

Hell is a horrible place to be sent to.

Welcome to CF. A rather blanket statement about rich people I must say. There are many " rich" individuals who give generously to the poor. Additionally, local governments are addressing this issue as best they can. Here in California a law has been passed to help and care for the many unhoused, mentally ill and those who are substance abusers. Each individual has a unique reason for becoming destitute. There is Hope and it begins with trust not hate.
Blessings.

What an attitude toward your fellow citizens.
The inquisition, and witch burning were also
Scriptually based.

It's Scripturally-based.

To say that something is scripturally-based should carry no value whatsoever, not even to a Christian, because the number of false teachings based upon that assertion no doubt far outnumber the true ones. Two diametrically opposite positions can both legitimately claim the exact same thing, hence the claim is pointless.

To me it simply suggests that the person making the claim is attempting to infer a legitimacy... that the bible... when taken as a whole doesn't support.

But go ahead, keep using it, and I'll keep summarily ignoring you.

Matthew 19:23-25​

23 Then said Jesus unto His disciples, “Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
25 When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, “Who then can be saved?”


Never mind all that Old Testament stuff. That was the boss speaking! Christians should take heed and give all their money away. (Bank details supplied on request - subject to certain sincerity tests.)

Im no christian so maybe i am exempt?

But if not, Ive the perfect plan.
As I got a nice inheritance, i fall into the
Wicked Millionaire class.

So, i sell everythjng and give to the poor.

Now someone else has the real estate etc.

So they should sell it and give the money.

Same with the next.

When theres no millionaires left it can sell to
highest bid, say $500,000.
When nobody left but the poor
to buy the buildings and they fall
into disrepair the problem will be solved.

I don’t get it. Poor people can be terrible people and rich people can be nice. Throwing out a moral label based on how much money one has seems a bit harsh.

Granted the really wealthy are often terrible people but I’d say that only kicks in at the millionaire levels.

For instance I’m relatively well off but I’m a great guy.

Well, it usually takes becoming a millionaire just to see how horrible the common folk really are.

Its easy to understand.
Those who rail against perversions,
hypocrisy, lack of empathy, or whatever
is their wickedness of choice are really
talking about themselves.

We call it psychological projection.

Its embarrassing to behold someone so clueless
about themselves. Its like wearing a dirty diaper in publuc.

Yes, we see, and, having seen, we crush their
heads under our Louboutins. Like they was serpents.

Rich or poor is not a decider, but integrity.

As the saying goes;

"Conduct yourself with integrity and God will take care of everything."

What does taking care mean in this context? For example; I’m the most integritous person you are likely to meet. How does that work?

Taking care?

I have no way of telling how you conduct yourself,

in spite of your own opinion of yourself, which is a red flag btw.

Note: The kingdom of heaven is here on Earth.

Rich people really means the people who live in rich lands - the West. The West is currently scheduled to be obliterated. America first, and then Europe. The Axis of Evil (Russia, China, Iran and NK) will take care of this. Russia and China are already threatening war against America.

The rich won't enter the kingdom of heaven because they will be wiped out first.

At the sound of terror (Isaiah 24:18), you will have an opportunity to flee to a safe country far away. You won't, and you'll be killed. This is the parable of the talents (Matthew 25) where the lazy servant (too lazy to get out of the way) is killed by a harvest (big war).

The sound of terror is the excuse for a big war. Today, it would be a small nuclear attack which serves as an excuse for a big nuclear attack as retaliation.

Israel's current war with its neighbors will likely escalate to the point where Israel will use nuclear weapons. This is the excuse. Retaliation will come against America within a year.

The good book has some harsh words
for "prophets".
And rightly so.

I asked you in the context of YOUR post. It’s not about me it’s about God taking care of a person. That’s the context I meant.

Yeah, that sounds rather unlikely. But if Israel and Iran want to nuke each other it’s hardly the end of the world.
