Big Easy Scripture Lesson
Who was abandoned in New Orleans as Our Dear Leader played air guitar?
The poor: "over 125,000 people"
The sick: "at least an additional 24,000 people--staff and families of patients"
The elderly: "The 280 plus local nursing homes remained mostly full. Only 21% evacuated."
"Untold numbers of other disabled people and their caretakers"
Children: "About one-fourth of the people living in the areas damaged were children, about 183,000 kids, including 47,000 children under the age of 5."
Prisoners: "Local prisons held 8300 inmates, most on local minor charges ... Thousands were left behind with no food, water, or medical attention...More than 600 hundred prisoners...were left behind ...in chest deep water, locked into cells."
Do you have eyes?
Then see.
Do you have ears?
Then hear:
Matthew 25:40ff "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.'
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.
For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I 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.'
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?'
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.'
Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Will there be even one Republican in Heaven?
