Have they treated the least among us like he would the Son?
Has he been kind to those poor in spirit?
Has he comforted those who mourn?
Has he been kind to those that are meek?
Has he satisfied those who hunger and thirst for righteousness?
Has he shown mercy to merciful?
Has he been clean of heart?
Has he blessed the peacemakers?
Has he blessed those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness?
Because "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!

(33,925 posts)All of the words of Jesus are printed in red and all of these lines are from those words in red. Most are from the Beatitudes and the Sermon On the Mount.
I'm not religious, but just a student of scriptures.

(24,001 posts)these writings, but some of them sure apply, don't they? I find it especially ironic when they seem to be the first to quote scripture and such at opponents, but then seem to fail at carrying out some of their own teachings, eh?
Take care and thanks again, for clarifying.

(62,193 posts)I was thinking about how the religious ones named Jeffries, Graham, falwell, etc, were rationalizing the likelihood that trump could lose because of the pandemic. How can they claim that God wants trump to be prez? They can't. By their own reasoning, they can't. I think that's why they've been so quiet recently.

(22,829 posts)Sorry, Ilsa, but those people you named have NEVER used "reason" in their thinking process.
They are motivated only by their own greed and egos.
Yeah, Christianity.
