[American Constitutionalist]

I have heard all the excuses from churches for not helping people from:

" Your not a member of this church ? no ? then we can't help you "

to

" we got people who are more of a priority " i.e. single women, or women with children are top priority: single men ? need not apply.

to

" you got to learn to live within your means " in other words, tuff crappy. .....



This sounds like a case of: let someone else help YOUitous.

I don't know, but, doesn't the bible tell us that ? if you don't help a christian brother in need, where is the love of God in you ?

No wonder non-christians, and christians have been turned off by the so called church.

Phonies.... it's more like us 4 and no more social club... no different than the worldly people other than the title on the sign outside the church.

Jesus said that when you have done it unto the least of these, you have also done it unto me.

Funny I belonged to a UCC church (kinda middle of the road one) where my famiily had been full tithe members for a number of years. When life took a bang I asked for some minor assistance and was turned down. Only not memebers were helped, bosnia Muslim refugees, black inner city kids. Not church members.

When the mega church turned this woman away, they turned away Jesus Christ Himself. Blind guides and white-washed tombs. What good is a basketball court or adding another wing to the building? They strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.
