Truth is truth. We cannot be modernizing religion or changing truth. We have moved so far away from whatever IS true, that we are uncertain of whether it ever really even existed. Even agnostics and atheists are appalled at the hypocrisies of religion these days. Simply because of the fact that Jesus Christ taught his disciples to feed the poor and resist the many luxuries the world has to offer. Today "Christians" pioneer the concept of prosperity and success, rather than just feed the poor and turn to God for provision. Why is that? Because they are not really Christians. Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for these's is the kingdom of heaven", and yet the rich have taken it by force and purchase the souls of men. Why? Because they are not really Christians. Jesus said, "Blessed are you poor when men shall revile you and persecute you and speak all manner of evil against you for my namesake." Today christians do this IN the name of Jesus Christ. It's no wonder the world hates religion. I hate it too!
Why have sustenance and personal gain become so important? Why has it become a crime to be poor? Because those who are claiming to love Jesus do not really love him. If they did, they would obey him and feed the poor and stop imprisoning them, then they would be true Christians. But they are NOT Christians. They ave brought repute to the name of a person who was poor and went about feeding the poor by miraculous intervention. The more we seek to make the truth more palpable for the gainsayers of this world, the more persecutions the poor will suffer. This world is run by rich people and they are the very devils Jesus warned us about. Now they are establishing a new world order, so they can have absolute power over everyone for their own personal gains. The only way we can fight them is to love one another. Give shelter to one another and protect the virtue we see in each other.
One day Jesus will come here and we want him to find faith upon his arrival. It is important to never turn back to the way of the world with all it's promises, all it's commitments and all it's demands. Those who cannot see the danger of serving this world are not Christians and they shall have their own share in the lake of fire. That judgment we cannot grasp easily, but we must never betray the poor and the one who bled and died for them. Forget the soldiers who bleed, Jesus' blood was enough. Anyone who says more is a liar and a gainsayer. Sure there are noble men fighting for what they believe, but it doesn't change the fact that they are serving The Beast and it's evil causes. The very causes which Daniel, Paul and John warned us against. Turn to Jesus, be gentle, open minded and take a chance on love. Because soon it may be too late.
