--- Quote from: John from Kentucky on January 06, 2014, 06:53:59 PM ---Jesus' words are Spirit. He is not talking about literal rich and poor.
All the parables are about just one thing: a) the Elect, the called and chosen, and b) everyone else.
Jesus did not pray for the World. His primary focus in this age is on His Elect, the very small true church.
It is in the next age, after the return of the King, that Jesus saves all others, physically and spiritually in all things.
The great false church teaches about the physical poor and how they are so important. They blather on incessantly about that. Jesus said we would always have the poor. Rich and poor both worship physical riches. They do not understand spiritual riches or worship the True God in Spirit and in Truth.

John I read the first part of your post and I thought hmmm ok I see what Johns saying... Something to think about.
Then I read the last part and thought, "man that John from Kentucky is one cold dude." Im not saying you are a cold person or not, those are just my thoughts when reading your words, I dont know you. But of all the things to fault the "great false church" for, why mention their consideration for the poor? The "great false church" has shown my family love that actually put food on our table more than once. So maybe they arent the elect... maybe some are. But I know one thing, they've shown me love. And what does it matter whether someone understands all the mysteries of the bible and knows allll the hidden meanings of the parables if they dont have love for their neighbor it means absolutely nothing.

John you might be able to make your point if you could show where God ever faulted a person or persons for showing love and compassion towards those less fortunate than themselves...

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?
