I just did. Read again the verse from 2nd Thessalonians cited above.
Some men were not working but living off handouts from compassionate people in the local church. Paul stopped the practice by teaching them God's way of no work--no food.
Sometimes love is a swift kick in the butt. The great false church does not follow any of God's ways in the Scriptures. They give handouts to people without teaching them to work. It is false love. But they appear good because their ruler poses as an angel of light.
Also, Jesus said not to let anyone know your good works but God alone. But the false church always lets everyone know the works they do. They do not follow Jesus.
Which is why Jesus says loud and clear Come out of her My people. Get it?

So is the verse you quoted from 2 Thessalonians talking about handouts to lazy people or charity towards the poor John?

You decide how much you wish to follow the ways and examples of the great false church.

Hi
Matt 7:23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.
So this is what Jesus is saying to the many, the miracle workers, those who proclaim the name of Christ and show his love through their acts of generosity? Aren't 'the many' those to whom Jesus proclaimed 'depart?' Physical matters, yes yes yes though spiritual matters a zillion times more.; those whom Jesus fed physical food, the loaves and the fishes, didn't get it, Those to whom he is feeding spiritual food have a chance...

Hi again
Yesterday a late lunch reminded me of how much the physical matters, haha. God has made us physical. He is making us spiritual. He uses the physical to teach us the spiritual. 1 cor 15:46 first the natural and physical, then the spiritual. The Old Testament is physical,and necessary for our learning the truth;the New Testament is spiritual for those who see, and is our salvation. Both are necessary. Our lives are the old and the new, The OT and the NT the natural and the spiritual. It takes one to teach us the other.
Thanks for starting this thread
