“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Christianity is nothing more than a cudgel for these people.
My comment started with Matthew 25:41, but it’s worth going back to 25:31 for the rest of the passage. The sheep and the goats; the wheat and the chaff.
Not a Christian, but I want to live my life like the sheep. I think this is the most powerful passage ever written. Matthew has my favorite Jesus.
