We Should Expect

"It harder for a Rich man to get into heaven, than it is, for a camel to get through to get through the eye of a needle" with great wealth comes great power God expects more of the wealthy in a position of wealth, you are expected to take care of the poor You have a responsibility I'm glad I'm not rich I don't want to face God I didn't do enough to care for people I would not like to say I increased the cost of medication so people couldn't afford to pay for health I don't want to face God and say I took the money off sick and poor so I could live in luxury I don't want to be the Pope and stand up and say I'm sorry God I thought that I only had to bring people to your church I didn't realize I had to invest your money building banks jewelry shops and business creating wealth, creating investments I read about Jesus with the Hebrew people where they tried to trap him who should we pay should we pay the tribute to Rome or the tithe to the synagog and Jesus said whos face in on the coin they repeated Ceasars so give unto Ceasar what is Ceasars give unto God what is Gods what choice did he have to say only give the tithe would have lead to war with Rome to say only give the tribute would have lead to the end of their religious Government The end of the beginning Church it had nothing to do with the separation of church and state it had plenty to do with keeping the peace The Church was the State in Christs time now we are expected to pay ten percent to the Church and tax to the Government But when we pay both tax and tithe we should expect both Governments and Church to provide jobs and provide lives for the people.
