Time and time again, we see the libs saying that Jesus spoke against the accumulation of wealth. Of course, the New Testament IS a REPUBLICAN document as Matthew 13:12 can attest to:
Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
Now the libs are on the run! One lib just can't handle the truth! He points us to an article:
Each Christmas, Christians tell stories about the poor baby Jesus born in a lowly manger because there was no room in the inn.
But the Rev. C. Thomas Anderson, senior pastor of the Living Word Bible Church in Mesa, Arizona, preaches a version of the Christmas story that says baby Jesus wasn't so poor after all.
Anderson says Jesus couldn't have been poor because he received lucrative gifts -- gold, frankincense and myrrh -- at birth. Jesus had to be wealthy because the Roman soldiers who crucified him gambled for his expensive undergarments. Even Jesus' parents, Mary and Joseph, lived and traveled in style, he says.
"Mary and Joseph took a Cadillac to get to Bethlehem because the finest transportation of their day was a donkey," says Anderson. "Poor people ate their donkey. Only the wealthy used it as transportation."
Many Christians see Jesus as the poor, itinerant preacher who had "no place to lay his head." But as Christians gather around the globe this year to celebrate the birth of Jesus, another group of Christians are insisting that Jesus' beginnings weren't so humble.
They say that Jesus was never poor -- and neither should his followers be. Their claim is embedded in the doctrine known as the prosperity gospel, which holds that God rewards the faithful with financial prosperity and spiritual gifts.
True, later in this article, you'll have other misguided libs saying that Jesus was poor...but we know that he wasn't since he gave His Divine Blessing to the Greatest President Ever: George W. Bush!
Now go out and use that charity check to buy that new TV! Don't let yourself be oppressed by those kill-joy libs! Remember that Jesus wants you to have that tax break and doesn't want THEM to have health insurance!
