Matthew : Politics (16)

  1. Satan said to Jesus, "All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." 4:9

    As John Fugelsang says in Separation of Church and Hate, Christian nationalists looked at that offer and said, "Ya know what Satan? I think I'll take that deal."

  2. "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." 5:3

  3. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." 5:5

  4. "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." 5:7

  5. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 5:9

  6. You've heard it said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." But I say, "Don't resist evil. If someone smites you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." 5:38-39

  7. Love your enemies and do good to those that hate you. 5:44

  8. Don't pray in public where others can see you. Rather go into your room, and after you have shut the door, pray to God in secret. 6:5-6

    Jesus tells his disciples not to pray in public. Those who favor school prayer, National Day of Prayer, etc. should take his advice.

  9. Don't have any treasures on earth. 6:19

  10. You can't serve God and money. 6:24

  11. "Judge not, that ye be not judged." 7:1

  12. Whatever you would like others to do to you, do to them. 7:12

  13. "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath." 13:12

    Isn't this from the Republican Party platform?

  14. All the nations will be gathered in front of him, and he'll separate them, as a shepherd separates sheep from goats. 25:32

    Jesus says that all nations will be judged by how they treat immigrants, the poor, the sick, and the imprisoned.

  15. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." 25:40

  16. "Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." 26:52
