Admittedly, I haven’t. I found these, but I suppose they are open to interpretation. Which is what I was asking for in the first place: (Forgive me if they are OT)
Luke 3:11 ESV / 15 helpful votes
And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”
Isaiah 58:7 ESV / 36 helpful votes
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Doesn’t exactly work that way. Jesus’s teachings are more of the straight forward explanations of the teachings of the OT. The OT is hard to understand, with meaning ‘veiled’, and one needs the assistance of God (through the Holy Spirit) to make sense of them. In I believe the end of Luke, It says (from memory) that (the resurrected) Jesus ‘opened the scriptures to them’ meaning that Jesus gave them the understanding. (the torn veil, we can now see through to the hidden meaning)
I guess ultimately what I’m asking is if Jesus was in your house today and someone of need came to your house that same day needing shelter, what are you supposed to do according to the Gospels? Would Jesus say: “there is a shelter down the street, they will be fine there.”
Jesus had the gift of discernment and a constant relationship with the Father. There is not a one size its all answer, he may tell that person to go to this person or place, may have taken him in, may have called him out of being a scammer, may of healed him.
With the same spirit we are suppose to use the same gifts in the same relationship with the Father, so no direct answer except to pray, listen and act.
There’s no evasiveness. You simply have “heard something” about the Teachings of Jesus which is not correct. You clearly are ignorant on the subject or you wouldnt have started the OP.
We are actually trying to educate you, but you dont seem to be able or willing to understand.
No. Why not *study *the Teachings of Jesus, rather than make stuff up? Forfuckssake, you can get a NT Bible for free or just read it on the internet. Or take a class. Or something.
As a followup (that maybe should be posted to another channel): Is there any “current” religion that provides for direct help into your home, as needed?
You want a message board to tell you what Jesus would say? Seriously? Okay, then I suppose he’d say…“you think your lag is bad, it took me three days to respawn.”
How the hell did you get that from what he said? Face it: You screwed up and posted what you thought Jesus said without bothering to find out if he actually said it, and when asked to back it up you provided quotes from centuries before he was even born.
Edited to add: Mistakes of this caliber wouldn’t even pass in Vacation Bible School.
