Areyouforreal and other posters who claim to be Christians, don't sound very Christian to me. More hypocritical than anything else. Whatever happened to "the least of my brethren"? Perhaps they should REALLY read Matt. 25:31-46. I'm sure Christ meant exactly what he said. And I don't claim to be a Christian at all.

What are you finding to be the problem?

I do not see where you think that make us hypocrits. I DO help those in need all the time.

I think the majority of us do our share in helping, some in big, others in small ways. Our priorities are all different, due to many legitimate reasons, but in short, I think the vast majority of people do help those in need.

(BTW: I don't give money to those sitting on the side a road with a sign..."homeless, need food" learned the hard way... ...found out the guy had a house 5 miles from the spot and dropped him off at this "job" daily)

All Christians who fall short of Christian ideals can be somed up
with"The Spirit is willing the flesh is weak!"

Since you seen to know me so well do me a favor and point out just where you see that I am a hyprocrit. Here is the passage to help you

Matthew 25:31-46 (New International Version)

The Sheep and the Goats

31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' 46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

May be a little rusty on my Bible, but if I remember correctly the last Christion who didn't sin got nailed to a cross. Those more familiar with the good book feel free to correct me.

I would think your stand on illegal immigrants would apply on Verse 37. As an ex-Catholic, I have to admire their stand on illegals.






37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

Hey look over there- Christians! Lets criticise them!
