>>Consciously allowing lies against Trump and his supporters, condoning Antifa thug violence, restricting our police,abortion murder of babies,condoning freedom to be taken away,encouraging illegal aliens to come in who then rape and kill Americans-——when does the Christian part start?
That’s the problem. In their eyes (and we know what happens when men do what is right in their eyes), they are following Christ because of Matthew 25:31-46. A Prog “Christian” will always go back to that.
Of course, “the least of these” is rarely the unborn baby to them, but as I said, many will be pro-life and will then be anti-border, anti-gun, anti-prison, pro-welfare, pro-UBI, etc and still quote the same verses.
They’ll also misquote Matthew 7:3-5 and ignore 7:1-2, Luke 7:3, and 1 Thess 5:14 to claim that the bible says to NOT judge (but ignoring what “admonish” means).
So, where does their Christian part start? Wherever THEY want it do, because Progressivism is Humanism and Humanism demands that Humans be their own God.
Your command of the relevant texts far surpasses mine. I usually think in terms of Leviticus 23:22 admonishing people to leave the gleanings (or edges or corners) of the harvest for the poor or the foreigner residing among you.
The New Deal and the modern welfare and immigration attitudes may have indirectly come from these. However, as Michael Savage reminds us the American “Lifeboat” is full. We have incredible national debt being wildly exceeded from its limits each year and passed on to grandchildren to somehow pay or have America go under and be enslaved (by Chinese or Russians or Muslims?
If too many millions (not an exaggeration) arrive illegally with their hands outstretched for full welfare,medical and surgical coverage,education for their children who speak one of 40 languages in a city school system like LA or NY, then the lifeboat will capsize and all die.
Then “the least among us” will be American taxpayers. Ask San Francisco,Chicago,NY and other sinking cities how they are coping with wildly rising costs.And the refusal to judge anyone does not consider our laws,police,deputies,judges,courts,juries and prison system..
I’m still going to ponder your references which are thought provoking tie-ins to the current issues. Thanks.
