reaping what you sow

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7

“Evangelicals”, theoretically, believe the Bible is the word of God and therefore must be respected and used as a point of departure for all actions. Well, these “Evangelicals” are either illiterate and have never actually read the Bible or they are, quite simply, fakes.

What are you sowing when you kidnap people off the street and have them disappear? When you deprive children of a meal while you’re stuffing your face. When you barbarically eliminate jobs just to have more tax breaks for the rich. When you kill innocent people with your wars? How much closer to heaven do you think this will take you?

James Talarico is a politician from Texas who knows his Bible. One of the youngest members of the House of Representatives and aspiring preacher, Talarico, a couple of years ago, had this to say about a proposed bill to deny gender affirming health care:

“This bill to me is not only unconstitutional, it’s not only un-American, I think it is also deeply un-Christian,” he told her, as she stood motionless. “And I say that because I believe this bill is idolatrous. I believe it is exclusionary. And I believe that it is arrogant, and those three things, in my reading of the Gospel, are diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus.” He cited Matthew 6:5, in which Jesus urges his disciples to not pray publicly like the hypocrites. … Six days later, he went viral again for calling out Texas lawmakers after a mass shooting in Allen, Texas, that left eight dead. “There is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we’re not willing to solve ourselves,” he said on the house floor. via

The fakes need to be exposed.
