It is a wild cop-out for Evangelical GOPers like #MikeJohnson to recast #Matthew25 as solely an individual call to care for the poor. If legislation has nothing to do with individual moral decisions, why do Johnson and his cohort pray together before big votes?
Actions one takes as a political leader, or a business leader, or in a voting booth, or in any group setting, are still *individual* actions, with an inevitable moral dimension. Denying that is wrong.

Grosvenor isn’t smuggling in works-righteousness — he’s simply noting that Christ, at the Judgment, asks about visiting the sick. That’s Matthew 25; it’s right there. One can debate the precise soteriological plumbing all one likes, but at some point the text does require you to have an answer for what you did with it, not merely what you thought about it.

The symbolism of oil in Matthew 25 enriches the parable of the ten virgins with layers of theological depth and practical relevance. Oil, representing spiritual readiness, vitality, and the presence of the Holy Spirit, serves as a powerful metaphor for the preparedness required of Christ’s disciples as they await His return.

The lamp in Matthew 25 represents several profound spiritual truths, including the Word of God, faith, spiritual preparedness, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Chrysostom, with admirable bluntness, notes that some happily dress a prostitute in gold while stepping over Christ shivering in the poor. Same wallet, different priorities. He wonders what sort of forgiveness—or punishment—fits that logic. It’s an uncomfortably practical question, then and now: who exactly are we most eager to clothe?

Andreas Gerhard Hyperius was Flemish Lutheran/Reformed theologian. He reads Matthew 25 and says God rather fancies the godly poor—the overlooked, the skint saints—so much that Christ treats what you do for them as done to Him. Which is awkward, because we keep arguing about which needy count, instead of checking whether our own compassion’s quietly packed its bags.

Robert Smith Candlish of the Free Church of Scotland reads Matthew 25 as a direct obligation to fellow believers: if you know a Christian is in need and can help, delay is disobedience. Aid must be immediate, personal, or ensured in your name.
It’s easy to praise generosity in disasters; harder when help is inconvenient or personal. Whom have you left waiting?

LMAO... OK...
You don't find it ironic that the strongest support in the Bible for this is actually inside MATTHEW?
Talk about cherry-picking...

How much more evidence do you need that they aren't really "Christians" but "Saulists." They have never read the Bible and it shows every time.

I voted for #Biden in 2020, and I will vote for him in 2024 in the general because my God the alternatives.
That said, I hate #immigration politics in this country, and how Biden just went even more hawkish on enforcement to try and appease Republicans. Spoiler alert: nothing will appease them; it’s a talking point they love too much.
My grandfather was an “illegal immigrant” and it is foundational to my soul that we treat those seeking refuge as human beings. #Matthew25 -

@geekysteven That #conservatives would use the power of government to suppress individual liberty is bad enough, that they’re doing it out of BS morality and religious hypocrisy makes it even worse.
If they believed in #Jesus, they would go about doing good, feeding the poor, healing the sick, visiting those in prison #Matthew25
