And how do you do that?

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'

And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
(Matthew 25.35-40 ESV)

I didn't ask you. And I've read the Bible.

BTW: taking MY money to do all those things doesn't make YOU a humanitarian.

Not going to go into specifics of my faith or charitable works here but the scripture supplied by DBS was as good an answer as could be given. The Human, secular, Jeffersonian interpretation of Jesus the man was actually the basis for social liberalism. Funny how Jesus the vengeful jealous god seems to be the basis for conservatism.

Obama has been using Jesus to push his policies for some time now. Here is a Politico reporting about Obama invocation of Jesus back in June 2009.

As president, Barack Obama has mentioned Jesus Christ in a number of high-profile public speeches — something his predecessor George W. Bush rarely did in such settings, even though Bush’s Christian faith was at the core of his political identity.

Jesus/God is/was a lot of things to lot of people to some he is vengeful god poised to smite and for some he was a simple man with some profound things to say. My own liberalism grew out of my interpretation of who Jesus was, an example, his example demands of me to care for my fellow humans.

But jesus didn't tell his apostles to rob other people at the point of a gun and use thier money.

He was talking about individuals doing it on thier own, NOT government.

Jesus doesn't support socialists. Libtards are the farthest thing from following Christ.

I am what I think is a liberal because of the teachings of christ. And for no other basic reason.

I just do not know what the conservative christians are gonna do if christ comes back in their lifetimes and rules this earthly domain for a thousand years. Afterall, most christians are aware that when His followers were inspired by the Holy Spirit, they all immediately sold their possessions, their homes, and brought the proceeds to one of the original followers to be distributed to each according to his need. Sounds like fucking socialism to me. God's chosen manner for a group of people to care for one another. No sir, the conservative christians will shit on themselves, and think back of their vehement opposition to some of the liberal democrats who never went that far!!!!

It really is the great cosmic irony. And funny as Hell.

I am frankly quite happy to see Obama doing God's Will. FDR, Truman, Ike, all of these great men did God's Will quite often. Then it fell out of fashion starting in 1980. And oddly enough the ones that drove it from fashion were conservative christians. We are chock full of irony these days, with much more to come. Stay tuned!

Indeed. Jesus was speaking directly to individuals...as charity is an individual choice.

Everyone has their religious beliefs tied up in their political beliefs, even atheists. We both seem to think we have the correct interpretation of the scripture, Mine tells me that doing something to help the poor and sick is preferable to doing nothing.

 

[paulitician]

No. Socialist/Progressive Democrats despise Religion for the most part. They especially have a weird dark obsession with hating Christians. They give all the other Religions a bit of a pass though. So i'm sure he just misspoke. I'm also sure he caught a lot of Hell from his handlers for that. When it comes down to it, Socialists/Progressives would love to exterminate religious persons, but especially Christians. The Left are an incredibly hateful bunch. Don't underestimate their vicious hate.

Being a conservative Christian and do know the truth of the Bible I will be praising God when Jesus comes back. I am a conservative because I believe the Bible and HATE socialism. Our founding fathers came over here to escape socialism.

SNIP:
posted at 1:20 pm on February 2, 2012 by Tina KorbeThis morning, at the National Prayer Breakfast, Barack Obama cited Scripture as justification for his policy agenda — from reforming health care to ensuring that financial institutions play by fair rules to taxing the rich. BuzzFeed’s Zeke Miller reports:

The president said he often falls to his knees in prayer, and emphasized the role of his religious values in determining where to lead the country.

“I’d be remiss if I stopped there; if my values were limited to personal moments of prayer or private conversations with pastors or friends. So instead, I must try — imperfectly, but I must try — to make sure those values motivate me as one leader of this great nation.”
Obama maintained that his call for the wealthiest to give up their tax breaks, he’s doing so out of economic necessity, but also in line with biblical teachings.

“And I think to myself, if I’m willing to give something up as somebody who’s been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I actually think that’s going to make economic sense. But for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that ‘for unto whom much is given, much shall be required,’” Obama said, noting Jewish and Islamic teachings say much the same thing.

It surprises me to encounter the president using this tactic. In the first place, the specific example he cites above is misapplied. When the president establishes a policy direction — and Congress follows it — his decisions don’t just affect him. When he promotes increased taxation of “the rich,” he’s not merely giving up his own tax breaks as he implies — he’s also suggesting the government should be able to force others to pay more in taxes, as well. That’s just obvious — and to say otherwise actually makes the president look more confused than anything. Here, we seem to have an out-of-water Obama who wants very desperately to pander but doesn’t quite know how.

Obama: Biblical principles prompted me to push for Dodd-Frank and Obamacare « Hot Air

Biblical principles don't force people to do what they don't want to, but rather give them options to do or not at thier disgression.

Obama is an idiot for using religion to justify the take over of people's liberty.

Looks like if christ returns to rule for his thousand years while you are still around, you will be shit out of luck. You won't fit in, going by what happened in Acts. The man and wife who sold their possessions and property tried to hold back, and not give it all to the follower who would then distribute it according to the need of each person. They were both struck down dead, by the Almighty God. But hey, they say Hell is not so bad, and nothing is required of you down there. I'd make plans!
