>Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. No one is perfect. >Matthew 6:2-4 - Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. There's no virtue in virtue signaling >Luke 3:11-14 - And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise. As long as everyone reciprocates there's no problem, but communism doesn't do reciprocation it does seizing power. >1 John 3:17 - But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Hard to call strangers brother, even harder when they don't look like you. >1 Corinthians 10:24 - Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. See above. Doesn't work with multicultural cancer. >Proverbs 28:27 - Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse. Most bums make plenty of money begging, they're bums not poor. Minimum wage slaves make less. But yeah, sharing with the truly poor comes back to you.
