Should Nations Help the Sick and Poor?

[Rockerduck]

Allegedly, Elon Musk was recently reported as the worlds first Trillionaire.

Imagine what he could do for the needy.

What I don't like though is the absurd movement that's piped up here and there that condemns wealth.

"That's just too much money for one person to have!"

They worked for it. Go away and hush!

Luke 12:48 - But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.

I agree. I have long agreed that both individuals and nations collectively should help the poor, which is what the Bible says. The problem is, there are insidious lies in conservative churches teaching their congregations that only individuals and not nations should help the poor. This is totally non-biblical and a lie.

The U.S. has consistently contributed less than she used to do to help the sick, poor and needy. Trump's defunding of foreign aid has already cost the lives of over 750,000 people and is projected to cost the lives of over 9 million. Trump has defunded cancer research, mass pollution monitoring and related disease research, fired many top disease experts and has gutted Medicaid and defunded food programs for the poor in the U.S. Just this week, Trump stated he wants to get rid of social security and Medicare because he needs the money to fight wars.

Such actions by Trump are anti-Christ; against God Almighty.

America has always been at the forefront of financial assistance to the poor and sick in foreign nations.

Of late however,the Democrats pushback in Congress,the branch that controls the purse strings,has insured our nation contributes less than before.

Yes. However, I won't judge Mr.Musk because I don't know what good if any he does with his money.

What have you done with all that you have?
No answer is required. It's entirely personal.

As we judge,so too should we reflect upon our own selves in light of what we think to criticize in,of,others

But in 1 Corinthians 2:15 - But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.

I think that's a bit biblically inconsistent and egocentric in comparison to the passages, judge not lest ye be judged. When ye judge use righteous judgement.


I don't judge Mr.Musks use of his finances because it is none of my business. And,I don't know him.

scripture cannot contradict scripture and there are no inconsistencies in the Bible. Jesus was telling unsaved jews how to live, yet the Apostle Paul, taught by Christ Jesus, says that as a born again believer whose sins are forgiven and now belong to Jesus, can judge all things and not be Judged by no man because we have the mind of Christ now. 1 Corinthians 2:16

And yet,we do that here and on every forum while discussing God's words.
