Matthew 23:21-30
21And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
He said to the Pharisees ways: "But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and herbs of all kinds, and neglect justice and the love of God; it is these you ought to have practiced...�[19] The practice of justice and love was of paramount importance to Jesus not the outward symbolic gestures of doctrine and dogma. It was not so much what you believed but how you acted that mattered. He deliberately ate with outcasts and interacted with women and he touched those considered untouchable showing them a compassion he felt compelled by God to give. His actions were provocative and offensive to those who lived within the boundaries of traditional conservative thought.

Deuteronomy 10:17-19
17For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
Realize how the Church in America has transgressed express biblical sanctions regarding immigrants and temporary residents living within the borders of this nation. And here I need to make it clear that the biblical edicts extend to Hispanics and to every color, race, accent, religion and country of origin. One of the most fundamental biblical principles in the Bible deals with how believers must treat outsiders in their land. Let those who can hear what the Spirit saith to the churches weep in repentance: “For the Lord your God…loves the stranger or temporary resident and gives him food and clothing. Therefore love the stranger and sojourner…� (Deuteronomy 10:17-19. Amplified.)

Matthew 25:34-40
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.
Another poignant scripture that reveals Jesus’ own attitude toward the nations and people who have ignored the plight of the poor, sick and needy is from the book of Matthew. Notice that the separation of the people is done on a national basis. This must be read as an indictment of national political actions as well as personal actions. The individuals who supported false leaders and their agenda toward the poor and needy are clearly going to be held responsible for their votes:

Ezekiel 34:4
4You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.

Amos 5:12-14
12For I know how many are your offensesand how great your sins.You oppress the righteous and take bribesand you deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
Amos makes it clear that if a nation places burdens upon the poor, allows the powerful to take advantage of them and denies the poor not only their day in court but true justice and equity, that nation will not partake of its own bounty.

Jeremiah 5:28-29
28and have grown fat and sleek.Their evil deeds have no limit;they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it,they do not defend the rights of the poor.
But does the Bible say anything about Professor William’s accusation that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are actually immoral programs because they rob from the rich to give to the poor who haven’t earned it? To the contrary, in fact the Bible requires a portion of the wealth of all the people of a nation to be set aside and transferred to the poor and needy! Clearly Mr. Bush and the Republicans in Congress are trying to destroy what God has established.
