    Weird. So much talk about “Christian conservatism” and how this is a “Christian nation” from the “Christian nationalists” and they forgot to read Matt 25: 43-45.

      The verse is not about using your neighbors wealth to help someone, it’s about using your own wealth to do so. The verse did not go.

      I was a stranger and you did not invite me in to your neighbors house, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me with your neighbors clothing, I was sick and in prison and you did not have your neighbor look after me.’

      “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

      “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not have your neighbor do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

        Well then I suppose thats a good example of why “Christian nationalism” and the whole idea of a Christian nation doesn’t make sense. Every single citizen of the Kingdom that is not of this earth is responsible for following the instructions of the King. Meanwhile here in America there are always excuses why we can’t heal the sick or feed the hungry.
