(369 posts)Like the parts that say take care of widows and orphans (i.e. anyone who cannot care for themselves)
Like the parts that say feed the poor, give a cup of cold water to the thirsty, etc.
Like the parts that mandate the welcoming of strangers
Like the part about "easier getting a camel through the eye of a needle vs. getting a rich person into heaven"
Like the part about "y'all go to hell" to those who did not feed the hungry, etc. (Matthew 25:41-46)
Like the part about "welcome to heaven, y'all" to those who fed the hungry, etc. (Matthew 25:31-40)
Like the part about endorsing Jubilee ("the year of the Lord's favor" Luke 4:19, Isaiah 61:1-2)
Like the parts about acting justly, loving mercy, walking humbly (e.g. Micah 6:8)
If you took scissors and physically cut-out all the parts about poverty, justice, Jubilee, rich vs. poor, then you will have a Bible that literally is falling apart.
