Jesus had something to say about feeding and clothing people

[Walt Starr]

"...for I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me; I was ill, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me. Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished thee; or thirsting, and gave thee to drink?

and when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee? and when saw we thee ill, or in prison, and came to thee?

And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me." Matthew 25:35-40

Let's go back in time. At 11:15 PM CDT on Monday, August 29, 2005, the flood walls were breeched and flooding was reported.

The following day, August 30, Northcom was ready to go with more than 9 million MREs, water, medical supplies, the whole shebang. All they lacked were orders from the Commander in Chief to move.

There was one person and one person alone who had the power to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and clothe the naked in New Orleans on August 30, 2005. That person was George W. Bush.

So what was so important to the Nation that George W. Bush could not be distracted from it in order to give aid while New Orleans drowned? What is it that could keep a man who claims so vehemently to be a Christian from following the words of Jesus Christ?

This is what was so much more important than the tens of thousands who were at that moment, taking their last breaths on this earth:

2. It's disgraceful.

WWJD?

3. I think he (Jesus) also said:

"To whom much is given, much is expected."

[journalist3072]

4. And Jesus also said

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. (Psalm 6:8).

Definition of iniquity: Gross immorality or injustice; wickedness.

5. thank you. That is my most favorite Bible passage of all

it epitomizes to me everything Christianity should be and do.
That and "love your neighbor as your self"

I have been on nonstop rant about this very thing since this photo hit the net, and finding out NorthCom was ready and able and not ordered is just CRIMINAL.


They will pay, oh will they pay. If not in this life then later.


If I were a Hindu I would be certain they would come back as the lowest form of life and have to progress through all the levels and be cognizantly aware of why it was happening.

If Buddist, I would sincerly hope they would be stuck on the wheel 4 ever...

the concept of Grace and forgiveness would presume a Heavenly outcome for all..after all we don't want to think the good of other faiths do not find Heaven....however, I can entertain myself with the fact that if these jerks do get to Heaven, nobody will talk to them. They will be in their own little place and virtually ignored.

Of course by Fundie standards, rotting in Hell is too good for them, but those folks only want that fate for those who don't walk their way.


nice, aren't I????

Suffering threefold retribution for the deaths of tens of thousands is not something to look forward to.

6. Yes!

This should be spread around. Bush proclaims to be a Christian but he ignored something that is very specific from Christ such as this.
