Why do neo-cons who claim to love Jesus look down on others due to finances?

Question

Why do they hate the poor, hate their enemy, love money, and yet claim to know Christ?

it appears that some here are confusing True Conservatives, with the term neo-con.

These are NOT one and the same.

ruth (below) states "we do not feel compelled to carry the weight of the bad choices of others"

Yet supports Bush's bad decision to invade Iraq...

Answer 1

Hypocrites !

I could name alone on YA at least about 20 of them in no time. Seriously ( and sorry for the expression ) I feel sick when I hear them chant, that poor people are lazy. People in the lower income classes are usually poor even though they really work hard . I think every working hand is needed so a society can grow and prosper. So is everybody worth something, no matter what they do. I don't care if somebody is a Doctor or a cleaning lady. They are all worth a lot !!!

Answer 2

They believe clearly in another Jesus than how I know Him to be.
Freedom of religion,it's all good for me and the bible can be interpreted differently no doubt.
But I have a very hard time to read the above answers and find anything in the bible that supports this selfish attitude.
They clearly pick and choose.Take the gay issue,they come with the old testament while they all eat seafood and pork. So the old testament is irrelevant whenever they feel like it OR they come with some vague reference about sexual morality in general while the story of how Jesus helped and didn't condemn the gay centurion is much more clear evidence He supported their relation or at least didn't disapprove.This story is recorded in Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10.
But on poverty and enemies very clear words that leave little room for interpretation are ignored .
Again respect for freedom of religion but I have the right to say that's not the Jesus I know.
Matthew 19:21
21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven
"And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, 'How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'"
Mark 10:23-25

"But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you that are full now, for you shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep."
Luke 6:24-25

Answer 3

I don''t understand? Ask bill Clinton why uninformed human beings everywhere think of he certainly had some thing to do with the prosperous starting to be richer during the internet inventory growth, paying providence capital advantageous properties taxes, and wiping out the deficit (this is, until a harmless Congress grew to become into waiting to locate the thank you to spend even quicker and positioned us suitable returned into deficit mode. As for the economic equipment, the government merely desires to get out of how. outdoors of reducing taxes to improve receipts (it relatively is acceptable, improve receipts), there is little they are able to do different than screw issues up.

Answer 4

It is the human sinful nature that all people are born into. Sin makes people blind, Christians and others alike. That is why Christians rely on Christ's sacrifice for salvation rather than believe we can earn our way into heaven. We are all guilty of going against the Lords commands.

Literally.... THANK GOD FOR JESUS CHRIST!

Answer 5

Who does this? Could you be more specific? No one I know looks down on others because of their FINANCES.

Plenty of people I know are disgusted by the bad money management and bad choices of many these days, and we do not feel compelled to carry the weight of the bad choices of others. Particularly by involuntary means.

Charitable giving is the place for compassion.

ADDED: Apples and oranges, dear. That's a different question. Ask it.

Answer 6

Kinda light on your facts..... fact: Christians give more money and time to charitable organizations around the world than any other group... Seems to me those who have decided the world owes them a living try and use Christianity and Christ as a way of attacking those which believe in personal responsibility . I think people that choose not to better themselves, attack those which choose to succeed and take advantage of Christians (and others) for their well being are guilty of Envy (of success) , Anger (blame others for their circumstances),Pride (its not "my"fault I'm where I am),Avarice ( too lazy and unwilling to change their circumstances) , Gluttony ( suck in and demand others pay their way ... or they're not Christian),Luxuria ( sit back and envy what others have,but refuse to work for it),and Tristia ( because of their refusal to make things better)... What gives those who attack Christan's and accuse them of "not doing enough", the belief that the world owes them , what gives the accusers the right to live off the labor of tax payers ? What makes you think I or anyone owe you a thing......

Answer 7

I have never in my life seen what you say. Christians are some of the most giving people, I have ever seen. They donate to charities, have food drives, go to orphanages, especially in Mexico, where squatter's live, serving the needy, plates of food, with their own hands. Bringing toys to the children, having pinata parties for them. I've seen and done it, personally with my church. They feed street people once, to twice a week, as well as missions do. Many go to other foreign countries, like in the Philippines, and Africa, even Tibet, to help the downtrodden villagers, and tribes. Perhaps you need to watch more National Geographic channel, Discovery, or History channels, because you are dead wrong. Good luck on your next learning endeavor.

Answer 8

because by this claim most of the people forget that "they hate the poor, hate their enemy, love money" and forget their real interest.

Answer 9

I was talking to one of my conservative friends yesterday about this and all he said "Nope, that will never happen to me" and even as I press on with "What if?" he kept on saying the same bit over. I found it disturbing when he made jokes about poor people should be exterminated to eliminate poverty problem -- its not suprising that he's also an advocate of deporting 11 million illegals and killing Arabs

Answer 10

Who claims to love Jesus?
Richard Perle or Paul Wolfowitz?

They belong to Judaism, and Judaism doesn't recognize Jesus.

If they'll say something good about Jesus, the rabbis will issue a fatwa on them.
