Serving A Socialistic God!

Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:10 NIV
“ ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God.' ”  Leviticus 23:22 NIV
“ ‘If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative is to come and redeem what they have sold. Leviticus 25:25 NIV
“ ‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. Leviticus 25:35 NIV
There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land. Deuteronomy 15:11 NIV
What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord, the Lord almighty! Isaiah 3:15 NIV
He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 22:16 NIV
Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.' Zechariah 7:10 NIV
But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, Luke 14:13 NIV
This list of scriptures regarding the poor could go on for a long time. It is significant to note, that God has always been concerned about the poor--those who for whatever reason are not able to take care of themselves as well as those who have riches. He has given us instructions as to how we are to treat the poor and yet--because of the Republican party--who claims to be Christian, does not understand socialism the way God demonstrated it. Notice, I did not say how God defined it, but how He demonstrated it. If they understood socialism as God demonstrates it in His Word with all of His instructions to all who believe in Him, they would not do everything they can to destroy the lives of the poor and the needy.

Republicans have plotted to destroy every program instituted to help the poor--with no remorse and in fact--some have been, "gleeful."

Destruction by slashing funding for the Affordable Care Act--hurts the poor more than it helps the rich.

Destruction by slashing funding for food assistance hurts the poor.

Destruction by slashing funding for education hurts the the poor.

Destruction by dismantling all the safeguards regarding our environment hurts the poor (those in coal-mining communities will soon see this as well as those who will be harmed by the pollutants in the air.)

Destruction by slashing funding for any government program serves only one purpose--to hurt the poor.

Republicans often criticize Democrats for their socialism--because Democrats increase spending to help the poor--but then the Republicans claim to be the party of family values and morality.

Everything they do to destroy the poor, proves they lie and if they read their bibles with understanding--they would know how God feels about liars. But they won't--because they think they know everything and the rest of us know nothing. And it is because of their blindness they think we don't see the corruption and the blatant raping of America's Treasury--enacted by all the corrupt cabinet members installed by Putin's directions. We see and we know--the evil that flows from the White House that the Evangelicals have tried to sugarcoat as all being part of God's plan. They lie!
The bottom line for me is this--God is not really interested in my political party affiliation--He's more interested in what I do that honors Him--in all things and that includes providing for the poor and the needy. So, my goal as the next president will be to make sure the needs of the poor are addressed and that funding is available to stabilize America's future endeavors for all (healthcare, education, food, job training, care for senior citizens and veterans).

It's not that I think we should "give anyone all they want" and that includes the politicians who are running rampant through tax dollars to appease their egos, but we should be a support for those trying to climb out of poverty and help to make our country productive and economically sound. I'm a registered Democrat and will probably remain one as long as I live since my values align with God's instructions.
