Helping those in need

^25:34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ^25:35for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; ^25:36naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. ^25:37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? ^25:38And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? ^25:39And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ^25:40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. ^25:41

^19:23And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. ^19:24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. ^19:25

Jesus on Homosexuality?

(Note: It is still debated whether Jesus refers to homosexuals here. In any case, He never made any other reference to homosexuality. Food for thought?)

^19:11But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. ^19:12For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

^14:14And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. ^14:15And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. ^14:16But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. ^14:17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. ^14:18And he said, Bring them hither to me. ^14:19And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. ^14:20And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. ^14:21And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus and disciples offer free healthcare

^10:5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans: ^10:6but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ^10:7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. ^10:8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give. ^10:9Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; ^10:10no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

Going to church
