Exactly. The majority of Bible verses used by liberals to support the “poor” are referencing the “poor in spirit”, e.g. those who know the worth of their own spiritual efforts is nothing, or another way of saying those who are sincerely humble with regard to the value of their ability to do good things absent God.

“Poor in spirit” also means .. spiritual emptiness .. no connection to God/Jesus.

Or .. people who are not saved.

If you’re saved, you have no excuse. God wrote you a book and gave you all the information you need to have a happy and prosperous life.

But some, try to join poor .. to Christians .. and the scripture which says, “I wish above all that you might prosper.” Why were Christians to be prosperous ..?? SO THEY COULD HELP THE POOR AND NEEDY. And, thereby, lead more people to Christ.
