The question that seems to hang in the air like a fading musical note is this:
Since Christ could perform miracles like causing an empty net to fill with fish, a great profit to the fishermen, or cause a fish to spit up a coin to pay taxes, why did he not spend more time curing poverty around the country? Israel certainly had enough poor people yet Jesus emphasis wasn’t on fund raisers or a ‘church of the poor’.
The idolatry of charity is the god of most modern Christians.
Its no longer about eternal salvation, its about building a leftist utopia (their vision of heaven) on Earth.
