@Carazaa The fairytale says that you shouldn't help sinners. So, the Matthew passage is saying that you will get punished for using your judgment.

This is one of my most favorite scriptures! I don't want to toot my own horn and get glory from men, because my true glory come's from the Lord Himself...But I believe that this scripture is so practical and real in my life....I was going through a rough time in life, I had very little food in my house, my husband was away and not taking care of our family... And I just cried out to Jesus because everything came tumbling down on me, and it was like my pastor was trying to take Jesus away from me! I felt like I was crying on Jesus's shoulder...When a Christian radio DJ said I don't know how I know this, then he hesitated then he said "Knock Knock" "Boo! Boo Who" Why are you crying? Kindof like Jesus knocking on the door here it is...Jesus states, "I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." Then there was a real knock on my door....!!! A huge 6'7 Aboriginal man stood at my door saying "Hi I am a Christian and I am hungry may I come in?" I was wide eye'd and mystified but I let him in and cooked us up a steak and a can of brown beans! And I remembered the scripture you just posted.. He was just like letting Jesus Himself into my home and eating with me and after the Knock Knock joke and the holy Ghosts boo boo who?? Funny Holy Spirit lol! He put a smile on my face like a child!

While growing up in my parent's home there was this plaque on the wall and it read "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want". These words caused me so much confusion. I mean, I thought the Lord was good and everything we do is for the Lord, but I'm not supposed to "want the Lord"?

That Jesus character is the biggest hypocrite in all of the world's literature. That's why the apostles dumped him.

As he said in Matthew 6:25-34 (ERV) = 25 “So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it. 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are? 27 You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the wildflowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves. 29 But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. 30 If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? It’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small!

31 “Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things."

Matthew 10:5-10 (ERV) ="5 Jesus sent the twelve men out with these instructions: “Don’t go to the non-Jewish people. And don’t go into any town where the Samaritans live. 6 But go to the people of Israel. They are like sheep that are lost. 7 When you go, tell them this: ‘God’s kingdom is now very near.[a]’ 8 Heal the sick. Bring the dead back to life. Heal the people who have leprosy. And force demons out of people. I give you these powers freely, so help others freely. 9 Don’t carry any money with you—gold or silver or copper. 10 Don’t carry a bag. Take only the clothes and sandals you are wearing. And don’t take a walking stick. A worker should be given what he needs."

So, if a person doesn' have anything, why is God so stingy?
