What she just did is despicable…
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has used a quote from The Bible to make it appear that she and Sen. Bernie Sanders are more Christian than Republicans.
It started when Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, who calls himself an “Expert on the Religious Left” shared a tweet that said Democrat Socialists are more Christian.
“’Democratic socialism and the Bible share a strikingly similar vision of what constitutes a fair and just society,” he wrote quoting a story in Sojourners.
“’If Christians took the Bible seriously on this point, activist politicians like @AOC would not excite such vigorous opposition,’” it said.

“The Bible and democratic socialism preach that governments should enact policies that address the needs of the poor, provide equal access to opportunity, and legislate policies that curb inequity,” the story reads.
“Both believe that any government that ignores the interests of the poor is an unjust government in need of correction.
“As King put it, ‘The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism …’”
And it was all Rep. Ocasio-Cortez needed, as she could not help herself and shared a Bible quote to continue to justify her position.
“’Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me,’” she said, quoting The Bible.

Both ignore the fact that The Bible did not instruct governments to rob people in order to help those less fortunate but asked us to do so voluntarily.
In fact Sen. Bernie Sanders is a wealthy man who has not given his profits in their entirety to help those who are less fortunate.
And it was this month that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez herself said that her six figure salarythat she makes as a member of Congress should be raised.
Giving to the poor and the needy is a wonderful thing and those of us in a position to do it should do as much of it as possible.
Many, myself included, could do more than we do but that does not mean it is the government’s job to take it from us and redistribute it.
It was The New York Times that reported in 2018 that it is Republicans who give more to charity than Democrats do.
“Red counties, which are overwhelmingly Republican, tend to report higher charitable contributions than Democratic-dominated blue counties, according to a new study on giving, although giving in blue counties is often bolstered by a combination of charitable donations and higher taxes,” it said.
Still, it is tough to believe that one’s ideologies, as it relates to politics, makes one more or elss Christian or Jewish or Muslim or anything.
And to hear the lecture from the Party that tells us to keep The Bible out of politics, and wants to hear nothing from The Bible on matters of abortion and homosexuality, is more asinine.

The Demoncrat Baby Killers think they are Christians? Who do they want to kill next? Will they kick American citizens out of hospitals and replace them will illegal immigrants? Demoncrats are incapable of a logical thought process.
The Word of God declares that if a man doesn’t work he shouldn’t eat ! Jesus also said that we would have the poor with us always. AOC took the scripture she used out of context. Jesus was talking about helping people in general, not specifically poor people. He meant that we should be willing to render help to anyone in need. She really is the Queen of the Twits ! She can’t stop getting in front of a camera to get attention and she only makes a fool out of herself when she does. Ugh….
yes how christain of the democrats to want to kill babies when they are born to allow babies be aborted murdered cut up part by part inside the mother only satan and his children can murder innocent children
Demoncrats are pro-criminal!
LOL two stages full of Democrat candidates and not one of them with any intelligence! They do what they do best…lie and suck up!
The perverted baby kills should read more of the Bible than taking a quote out of context!! Such as what Paul taught when he told us if you do not work you do not eat!!AOC (ALWAYS OPENLY CRAZY) will be a one term rep IF her constituents have paid MINIMUM attention!! She is already guaranteed 175 thousand for life by just costing her community 26000 jobs through Amazon and billions in revenue!! But of course she would have to go HOME and talk with them FIRST!! Maybe she can get her BOYFRIEND to do it since she put him on the PAYROLL!!! What a great rep YOU got NY!!!!!
A. O. C. and all of the DemoCommunist Do not read the Bible and when they use a scripture they always take it out of context. They have NO clue as to what real Christianity is because they only attend false Teachers. If more American’s began to read their Bibles they would see through these DemoCommunist Charlatans
Contrary to what deceptions are being put forth by the Democrats, Jesus clearly stated that, “The poor will always be with us!” There will always be the “haves” (as demonstrated by our affluent politicians) and the “have knot’s” as experiences by many in America. Those who put forth personal efforts with extended education and professional training are destined to do much better in the “work-a-day” world then those who have chosen to just do little and “slide” through their lives.
AOC . . . has it EVER dawned on you that a Christian is someone who is “Born Again” (believes in Christ Jesus – not just makes a few weird quotes) and follows the bible? then WHY are you killing innocent children (through advocating abortion) which is WORSE than a sin (Proverbs, 6:16 – 19) and that happens to be an Abomination? God HATES these abominations and according to Revelations the Abominable (those who commit abominations) will find their place in the Lake of Fire. This is NOT where bible believing Christians will go. You can argue against ME on this, but not against God on the Day of Judgment.
“And it was this month that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez herself said that her six-figure salary that she makes as a member of Congress should be raised.”
She also said that all of us should pay for her college debts.
But here’s the point. There is nothing noble about spending other people’s money, which is taken from us at the threat of otherwise being jailed. I also note that leftists like AOC never recognize all the wonderful things Americans do voluntarily to help each other and others around the world. Americans are STILL the most generous and giving people in the world. Yet when it comes to leftists, all the world’s problems must be solved by the government using the resources confiscated from their citizens.
AOC really shouldn’t quote ANYTHING from the Bible as long as she is pro-abortion. And the wealthy Jew Bernie Sanders should lead by example if he wants to promote charity. Of course, that will never happen. Both of these scumbags are the epitome of hypocrisy. I just wish that more Americans would see them for what they are. Unfortunately, there are so many blinded by their enormous hate for Trump, that they are incapable of any kind of rational judgement. ALL politicians should face intense public scrutiny – that’s the only way we’ll ever maintain what limited freedom we have. Unfortunately, most Americans today are more than willing to accept candidates from their “side” without any question whatsoever. This country has deserved much better than ANY of the recent occupants of the White House, but thanks to our despicable two party system and the “lesser of two evils” philosophy of voters, we simply keep getting the same crap over and over again. If you’re willing to eat s**t, you’ll never be served anything better.
One of these days somebody is going to kick AOC’s butt and it couldn’t happen too soon!
AOC is oh so full of crap, that’s why her eyes are brown, beside she is as dumb as a bag of hammers/DemocRATs.
A.O.C. is not smart enough to read
so how is this idiot going to under
stand anything that is in the bible,
she promotes murdering unborn
babies so we need to send her to prison
for promoting murder I still don’t
understand how the dirty no account
Muslims are allowed in our government
offices kick them out and put them
in prison forever for murdering babies!!!
The Bible also says- Thou shalt not steal. Exodus 20:15
So Rich Bernie and AOC want to self-righteously lecture the rest of us on the Bible and What Jesus would do. I have a few other Bible Verses for them:
Mark 7:6
6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Psalm 37:16-17
16 Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; 17 for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Maybe Bernie and AOC can let go of their hypocrisy and follow the words of Christ first.
Matthew 19:21
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
The could at least give to charity- both AOC and Bernie have a very low track record of charitable giving as do most Dems- the think speaking about their caring and compassion is enough.
Luke 3:14
14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.”
Yeah AOC stop voting for raises and telling the people it will keep you and your friends from taking dark money!
Matthew 6:1-4
1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
1 Peter 5:2-3
2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
1 Samuel 2:7
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.
“Show me a denarius. Whose face and name does it have?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. So he told them, “Then give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
AOC, Bernie, Nancy, Chuck, Dems-
Matthew 23:27-28
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside, you appear to people as righteous but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
These Liberals want to tax us not to help the poor but to gain riches and power-which they have shown time and again they will misuse, mishandle, steal from, and in every way use for their own corrupt purposes! Can Dems be trusted with our money?!
Luke 16:10-15
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? 13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” 14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
Are we here?
2 Timothy 3:1-5
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Bernie, AOC, Kamala, Cory, Biden, basically all the Dems running and in office chastise us and tell us we are evil and heartless without compassion if we do not open our borders and our wallets to all the Poor and illegal’s of the world. But at the same time, they Ignore and turn away from the plight of their fellow American Citizens!
A Million + homeless, starving, unmediated, uneducated, men, woman, children, infants living in third world filthy disease ridden conditions who desperately need our governments help- But the Dems all pledge to give to the poor of other nations and do not even promise to help the American Citizens. Why should any of us believe any word that comes out of your crooked hypocritical mouths?!
Think before you Vote America because one day – there but for the grace of God go you- and you may become one of those living in tent cities that the left drives by and turns their heads away while covering their noses from the stench of human waste. They are responsible for this and want to make it worse. Listen to their plans, it is all about the redistribution of wealth, globalist power and fake virtue signals to make themselves feel good about how very woke they are compared to you and your evil rational common sense facts.
‘Charity begins at home’ isn’t from the bible but it is so near to being so that it is reasonable to describe it as biblical. The notion that a man’s family should be his foremost concern is expressed in 1 Timothy 5:8, King James Bible, 1611:
But if any provide not for his own, & especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse then an infidel.
True, I am no theologian but I am sure I can do just as good as AOC and her self-proclaimed Bible expert.
As Jesus would say to AOC and her ilk-
Get Behind me Satan.
Yeah AOC stop voting for raises and telling the people it will keep you and your friends from taking dark money!

Get Behind me Satan.
AOC and the liberal Democrats may quote a Bible verse but they don’t know or care what it truly means. The Devil knows the scripture, as our Bible tells us when he tempted Jesus. He tried to use the scriptures for his purpose, which was evil. The Democrats mock us for being Christians but, like the Devil, they use the scriptures to try to trap us to accept WRONGS. So, like Jesus, we Christians need to say, “Get behind me, Satan.” Refuse to listen to their lies.
Socialism does an excellent job of redistribution of wealth. It takes all our money and gives nothing back. That is why one of the best descriptions of Socialism is “Spreading Misery Equally”. One needs to look no further than Venezuela for the latest example. Their money is worthless and they do not have enough food to feed the people. We should all be saying “No Thank You” to Socialism loud and clear.
