WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF WHAT JESUS SAID

While we're on the subject of what Jesus said, there is one place in one of The Four Gospels in which Jesus does give a detailed description of the last judgement, namely in The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Chapter 25, verses 31-46, commonly known as The Sheep and The Goats. In these verses, there is one thing and only one thing that Jesus says will count in that Judgement, and that is how we treat "The Least of Those among" us. Among other things, this includes did we care for "the least of these" (verse 45) when they were sick or not and in so doing care for Him when He was sick or not. Those that did will be judged among The Righteous and given Eternal Life in The Kingdom, those that did not will be judged among the wicked and sent to eternal punishment in the Eternal Fire. So, who should we care for if we are to care for "The Least of These"? Obviously, The Poor and those who can not afford to buy their own Health Insurance or pay for medical treatment out of pocket. In other words, at least among others, those on Medicaid would be counted in this number, as would those who could be on Medicaid if every State in The Union, including Texas, adopted The Medicaid Expansion possible under The PATIENT PROTECTION and Affordable Care Act, aka At Least President Barack Obama DOES care, aka Justice In Health Care (Justice in Its True, BIBLICAL sense). Therefore, although THe Supreme Court has said this expansion is legally optional, Matthew 25, verses 41 through 45, make it abundantly clear that it IS NOT morally optional. Rick Perry and others talk a good game about this being a Christian Country and all that, but as noted yesterday the one thing GOD does say in The Bible that GOD hates is those that praise GOD with their lips while refusing to care for those of GOD'S children that are in need. Throughout The Bible, GOD is ALWAYS a friend to the powerless, as the passage that I sighted above clearly demonstrates and proves beyond any trace or even shadow of a doubt. So, if we are Truly a Christian Nation, no-one would let their totally unjustified and unreasonable hatred for one President get in the way of making sure that all of "The Least of These" get cared for when they are sick. Otherwise, we are those who Worship GOD with our lips but not in our hearts, and read Jeremiah to find out the consequences of that.
