At the bottom of the site are intriguing videos to watch related to the topic    ..
          I used to label myself as Christian but i'm too ashamed to call myself that anymore after what happened with the last kangaroo election.  i call myself a NAZARENE now.  Christ's disciples were called The Nazarenes by everyone.  They were a sect of Judaism that followed Christ.   They were never called "Christians" until the 4th century, shortly before Emperor Constantine met at the Council of Nicea and declared Christianity legal in the Roman Empire (later that night cutting his wife's throat of 20 loyal years and drowning his son in a palace pool because they refused to become "Christian") but thus diluting the Faith with pagan Roman evil so it began it's downward spiral into entropy until we have what we have today, which is a hollow shell of Christ's and his disciples' original JEWISH belief.  I'm not part of any church or cult or religious sect, except maybe Judaism.  I'm quite happy to attend synagogue services on Saturdays (not preaching or trying to convert any Jews since i believe they're just fine as they are in their JEWISH belief since theirs is a closer connection to God and even Christ unknowingly  than so called "Christian" right-wing assholes today.  Sometimes the Spirit guides the sincere and righteous ones toward the Spirit of Christ on an unconscious level without them even aware of it.  Especially wouldn't you expect that to be true of Christ's Chosen People, the Jews who are the apple of God's eye?    The mercy he can't resist to give them).  i just free-lance call myself NAZARENE since i strip myself of all pretentious fake Christianity, all diluted ignorance of today's lukewarm right-wing Christianity, all Christian hypocrisy and all betrayal and bribery against humanity and against Christ, known as Christianity today.  I'm not structured or fundamentalist.   But my beliefs are not cultic. They're traditional but rational.  I don't belong to any denomination. I'm simply a disciple of Christ, in the generic definition. I've learned wisdom of other Faiths as well besides Christ and Judaism..
 
          Judaism is the pre-Nazarene faith I value most, as I do Jewish culture, archaeology, history, art and people. Jewishness is a favorite topic, which I studied for years, though I'm not Jewish. Jews are fascinating and appealing, which unfortunately fuel fire for Ethno-racist Jealousy, Evil and Anti-Semitism (Scape-Goatism). A TRUE "Christian"-Nazarene GENUINELY respects Jews, as they should humanity, instead of as an excuse to preach to them & try to convert them.    Just be friends and hang out like any other friends you hang out with, ya know?.  The New Testament was written by Jews.  The Laws were written by Jews.   Western Civilization, ethics and Justice came from Jews.  Christ (Yeshua) is Jewish, therefore, God is Jewish (allegorically)! So if you're Anti-Semitic, you're Anti-God!    Wake up, you idiots!    The Church is NOT the New Israel!    AMERICA is NOT the New ISRAEL!    The Church was grafted to the House of Israel, The House of David, The House of Levi, "Bayit-David Malakhei-Roim Bavith Adonee Koresh Goyin" like an olive branch grafted to the Olive Tree.    God's words during his Covenant with Abraham and his descendants-
 
          "Abraham.  You and your brethren are My Chosen People and I am Your God and everywhere you may go into the heathen world, I will Bless those that Bless you, Seven-fold and Curse those that Curse you, Seven-fold!     So be comforted for I will protect and watch over you when you travel in foreign lands among the Gentiles!"
 
          Fighting Anti-Semitism is a fight against the powers of Darkness, the very fight against Evil and Satan. It must be in your heart and soul, not just in your mind. It's a way of thinking and living. Ever been picked on or bullied in school? Ever been harassed for no good reason except because you're there? Then you know how Anti-Semitism begins and you know the Evil which Anti-Semitism represents, bullying, violence and inhumanity against others who are different. If interested in learning about Anti-Semitism and why it's so Evil and against Humanity and God, see the websites :

New Testament Scripture which supports my claim the Jews and the physical nation of Israel TODAY are STILL the "Chosen People" :
 
Romans 11
1 "Do not be arrogant concerning My People, the Jews! I ask, then, has God rejected his people, the Jews his Chosen Ones? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin."
2 "God has not rejected his people, the Jews whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?"
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life."
4    "But what is God's reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand Jews of men who have not bowed the knee to Ba'al."
5 "So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace."
7    "What then? Israel failed to obtain what it sought? The elect Jews obtained it but the rest were hardened,
11    "So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles so as to make Israel jealous."
12    "Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!"
14 "in order to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save them."
15 "For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?"
16    "If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole lump; and if the root is holy, so are the branches."
17 "But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree,
18 "do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root (the root is the Jews, my Chosen ones the vessels of salvation) that supports you."
19 "You will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
20 "That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe."
21 "For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you."
22 "Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off."
23 "And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again."
24 "For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree (Gentiles) , and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree (The Jews, my Chosen) , how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree."
25 "Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in,
26 "and so all Israel will be saved; as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob (Israel) "; "
27 "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
28 "As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers."
29 "For the gifts, blessings, covenants and the call of God are Eternal and irrevocable."
30 "Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,
31 "so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy."
32 "For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all."
33 "O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!"
34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
35 "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?"
36 "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen."
 
Romans 12
2 "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
3 "For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him."
4 "For as in one body we have many members and all the members do not have the same function,
5 "so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another."
6 "Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; "
7 "if service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching;"
8 "he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness."
9 "Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;"
10 "love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor."
11 "Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord."
12 "Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation."
13 "Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
14 "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them."
15 "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep."
16 "Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited."
17 "Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all."
18 "If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all."
19 "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."
20 "No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head."
21 "Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good."
 
Romans 04
10     "but glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew first and also the Gentile."
13     "The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that they should inherit the world, did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith."
14     "If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void."
15 "For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression."
16 "That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants- "
17 "as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" --in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist; as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be."
19 "He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb."
20 "No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,
21 "fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised."
22 "That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."
 
Romans 09
1 "I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,
2 "that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart."
3 "For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race."
4 "They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the Covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; "
5 "to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen."
6 "But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,
7 "and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."
8 "This means that it is not only the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise also are reckoned as descendants."
9 "For this is what the promise said, "About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son."
10 "And not only so but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,
11 "though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of his call,
12 "she was told, "The elder will serve the younger."
13 "As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14 "What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!"
15 "For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
16 "So it depends not upon man's will or exertion, but upon God's mercy."

John 4:22 - "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews."

John 8:31 - "
Christ then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,

John 11:45 - "Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him; "

John 12:11 - "because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in
Christ."

Acts 14:1 - "Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great company believed,

Acts 21:20 - "And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed; they are all zealous for the law,

Romans 3:29 - "Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

Romans 9:24 - "even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?"

1 Peter 2:9 - "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
 
          Israel will always be Jewish property, promised by God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and Jews alone are Israel, physically and spiritually! Anyone who expects to live immortal in the 1000-yr reign of the Messiah on Paradise, yet dislikes Jews will pack their bags for a dismal trip of immortal shame.

          I enjoyed studying and being enlightened by Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, White Wicca, Celtic Paganism & Herbal Paganism. All of them are valuable even though I don't agree with some of each. especially the Caste System of Hinduism.   But I have respect for not just wisdom but the cultures and people who follow them.

    "I believe "aliens" are Demons or "Nephilim" half angel half human beings possible to be seen since we are in the "End of Days"

         In Genesis, various pre-Biblical & ancient text describes the Nephilim as frightening monstrous beings (genetic mutants) borne of angelic beings ("Grigori" or "The Watchers" according to ancient Hebrew Biblical writings) assigned to protect & teach humans how to build a civilization.   But they're the ones that later lusted passionately after human females and coupled with them yet it was verboten by Law.  The angelic beings assigned to protect and teach humans were a type of angelic being with the most human features of the angels including human sex organs.  Remaining angelic beings strong enough to resist temptations caused a large regional flood in Mesopotamia to kill all the nephilim creatures.  Yet many survived and became fugitive beasts. The angelic beings imprisoned nearly all the rebellious beings yet a few evaded capture with their Nephilim progeny, in chariots in the appearance of blinding white rings of (flying saucers) starlight in the skies and disappeared to exist on various planets and planes of existence beyond our solar system, galaxy or dimension, according to ancient Hebrew legend.   Since Nephilim have angelic DNA, they possess vastly superior intellect to invent mind boggling technology beyond us so they'd return at the End of Days to our planet to offer the U. S. government superior technology in 1947, in exchange to abduct people to make hybrids with, pretending to be aliens from another planet when they're actually hybrid offspring of fallen angels and human females.  

         Prophets prophesied angels, demons and other worldly forces would be seen with our naked eyes in the "End of Days" since "Paradise" (the kingdom of the Lord) is so close to being ushered in.  Good & Evil are at the edge of a knife in these End of Days we're fast approaching a climactic battle. Ezekiel actually describes how various angels look & vehicles or "circular chariots" they fly in, believed to be ancient Jewish descriptions of UFO saucers used by fallen angels.  In the "End of Days" there would be many shocking signs & wonders in the heavens, in the moon, in the seas, the Earth, the skies & the planets. Learn more about Nephilim on the sites listed below.

         Sumerian text speaks of similar both fallen angelic entities & hybrid half human children.  Some became physical giants, some intellectual giants (Greys, aliens (hybrids) large black oval eyes)  some become "heroes of old" "men of renown" who became legend for great compassion & strength like Heracles (Hercules), Gilgamesh, Odysseus, Achilles, Cuchulainn, Muirden (Merlin), Krishna, Morrigan, Lugus, Hermes, Autolycus & Asclaepius but the majority were mutant hybrid abominations of anthropomorphic chimera monsters of legends.  Anunnaki who had sex with human women were captured or destroyed in the flood but a few escaped & continued to breed.

       In Babylonian text, these same fallen angels blackmailed Angels Of Mercy, Angels of Lightening & Air & forced them to have sex with human females though they protested & didn't want to betray the Lord.  Fallen Angels did the same to Arch angels.  They had the children of the Angels Of Mercy, Lightening & Air have sex with children of Arch angels to create strange offspring.  These offspring were different from others, rebelled against Fallen angels & swore to regain honor, redemption & reinstated by God.  A war followed between the new offspring & parents,  the fallen angels.  Fallen angels were defeated but the Great Flood happened.  Legend says the new hybrids were spared because of their righteousness though they can't be redeemed til the Time of the End.

         They survived the Flood because one of the peculiar things about them is they cannot die, cannot drown in water, cannot grow old or be injured unless their heart is cut out of their chest or head is cut off.  They found they were Immortals.  They were assigned to be watchers & do right where fallen angels had gone wrong as Watchers.  These first Immortals were allowed children after the Great Flood to populate the fertile lands of Mesopotamia. The famous Methuselah (Methusalephos, Chiron, Methosalephis, Metheis, Methe, Methos) from Genesis was the first Immortal & entrusted to guide people,  teacher & philosopher who taught righteousness.  He was one of the Immortals to survive the Great Flood & find himself on a mountain peak. A band of evil Immortals that survived, found him while still disoriented & chained to a high mountain where a vicious vulture preys on living humans.  He was sentenced to have his organs eaten by the vulture only to grow back since he's immortal.  The torment was agonizing.  The vulture usually ate his liver. Punishment for helping humans to build a civilization after the Great Flood.  This is where the myth of the legendary Prometheus chained to a rock for giving humans fire & technologies to ease burdens of their life, came from.  Immortals' bloodline eventually thinned after generations but remained ready to become active randomly.  When that happens they have Immortal invincibility. Not much known about Methuselah/ Prometheus after he was freed by "Hercules" after the Great Flood.

 

"Raiders Of the Lost Ark Ending"

 

Raiders Of Lost Ark Ending (right click & "save target as"

         After the rise of the Egyptian Empire, Immortals appeared that didn't live by righteousness.  They were demented.  Some Immortals became fighters, philosophers, temple priests, teachers of the old history of the past, science teachers, artists of Sumeria.  They're not children of the Anunnaki, they're the children of Angels Of Mercy with mixed blood combinations with Angels Of Lightening, Air & Archangels.   Angels who served God loyally.   They're not related to the Anunnaki that "come down from the sky" in amazing flying vehicles.  The enemies of the Immortals, called the Anunnaki by the Sumerians & Akkadians, were a secret council of mysterious beings that descended from the sky in white clothing and taught people how to build civilization and farm   ..   

         Only a few of the Immortals survived the attack by the fallen angels & Nephilim but grew to be hundreds & hundreds of yrs old.  He was called upon for centuries for knowledge & intellect by all types of people.  He was an oracle for centuries.  One of his students was the King Gilgamesh of Sumeria who sought ways to Immortality.  The remaining Immortals became known as the "Old Ones".  They had Immortal Children.  Sporadically children turned out to be Immortal.  These Immortals for centuries were accepted & known about.  They became popular to visit by royalty & thousands sought their knowledge since they've lived so long.  Eventually the sporadic birth of Immortals became more rare til extremely rare.  But the Immortals from the past, many lived on.  They have a mission & purpose as God placed them that is to help humans as much as possible & fight evil.  Their destiny is promised by  God to be Princes in his Kingdom or Paradise after the End Times.  They're to bide their time & defend themselves til that day.  According to the legend there are some of these Immortals today, protecting us, helping the Angels.  They have intense compassion, attract lightening & tend to effect weather unintentionally  because of Angel Of Lightening & Air blood & can't be killed because of the Arch angel blood.  They stop tyrannical groups from getting too much power or land.   And they're to roam among us through the centuries til they're needed as warriors at the End Times.  There are periodic purges every 500 years where they must search each other out, those of like kind. They must eliminate evil Immortals who want to use & abuse mortals & lower them all to the level of slaves.  

         Supposedly, since the Roman Empire, there has been secret groups of mortals watching the Immortals to keep an eye on their activities & log their history.   But the main purpose since then was to create a strong presence of extremely powerful mortal royal families, wealthy dynasties, rulers & Elite bloodlines from the original Nephilim bloodlines, to maintain mortal control & dominance over the Immortals to keep them from becoming the rulers of the world & even to eliminate all Immortals because of the threat they pose to the Elite wealthiest families' dominance & tyranny over the masses.   Their extreme greed & treachery is exploited to kill anyone who threatens their power over the common people.  These secret groups evolved & became stronger through the centuries til today in 14 wealthiest families that control all mega international corporations on the earth.     At each 500 years there's supposedly an unusually high amount of new Immortals born.  Their destiny at the Time Of the End  is to help those that are on earth during the reign of the final great world tyrant & then join the ranks of the Heavenly host' armies that come from the clouds to finally put an end to all the nonsense & violence for all time.  At that time they will have completed the path of their Redemption & reconciled the fact that they're part Nephilim & changed to become a new being.  They can be considered one of God's secret weapons waiting to be needed someday but they're allowed to live & enjoy life til then.

Fletch gets Political  ("Fletcholitics")

Democratic Party Philosophy

 

Modern Republicanism    -  a relic of a distorted and primitive ignorant past, ideas drawn from days of Royal Families and Monarchies when common people were truly common because they were as slaves- subjugated by Elite Rich!  Abraham Lincoln brand Republicanism is really cool and alot like Democratic economics yet Abraham Lincoln Republicanism doesn't exist today because that Republicanism didn't promote excessive wealth and greed so immorally wealthy assholes systematically eliminated that way of thinking in the Republican parties 70 years ago.   Other terms to describe Modern Republicanism:   Medieval Feudalism; Bush Economics; Reaganomics; Plutocracy.

 

REPUBLICANISM (Re-pub-lick-in-is-em) - The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, might be happy, satisfied and having pleasure without sucking wealth away from hard working middle class and achieving excess wealth through manipulation, corruption, stepping on others to get ahead and Greed to get contentment.

 

I strongly reject Communist Philosophy, as well.  Communism doesn't make room for any form of capitalism and economic growth or wealth.  It doesn't make room for prosperity, personal wealth and material ownership which is essential for anyone to have even minor happiness in the world today and just to survive.  So Communism is an outdated, reactionary, extreme and ignorant way of reacting to out of control Greed and unrestrained Capitalism.

 

Socialism allows most everything Capitalism allows except with proper, reasonable government regulation to maintain high quality goods and service (through employee unions ensuring decent employee wages and benefits) and to regulate the costs and prices charged by utility companies (electricity, water, gas, credit cards, banks, loan companies, heating & cooling, cable TV, internet, etc.), high quality socialized health care, regulation of transportation businesses (airlines, car rental, hotels, vacation cruises, subways, public and private buses, etc.) and other essential goods and services business to make sure their rates and prices are reasonable and affordable for everyone, not just the wealthy, and to prevent monopolies, Greed and businesses from hiking prices up to be greedy and be able to enjoy ridiculous and  immoral wealth at the expense of the poor and middle class consumers.  Socialism is a blend of the good aspects of each philosophy, without the extreme and bad aspects of each.   Capitalism and Communism, combined.

I strongly embrace Democratic and Socialist Philosophy and would fight for and defend it because it's the only sane, humane and rational ethic in this imperfect, corrupt and selfish world!  Anything less is uncivilized

 

Scriptures which support the Democratic Party's ideology and purpose as righteous and Godly to protect the rights, salaries, welfare and health of the Middle Class and Lower Class (the Poor Class) and exert restraint and regulation on the wealthy and Upper Class from becoming too greedy, powerful and corrupt :

 

Matthew 13:22 -   "As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful."

Matthew 19:21 -   "Christ said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell half of what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

Matthew 19:23 - "And Christ said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 19:24 - "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Mark 10:23 -    "And Christ looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"

Luke 8:14 -      "And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature."

Luke 14:13 -          "But when you give a feast, invite the poor"

 

Luke 16

20     "And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, full of sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what crumbs and scraps fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores."
22     "The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom (Paradise).   The rich man also died and was buried;   "
23      "and in Hades, being in torment, the rich man lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom."
24     "And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.'   "
25     "But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish."
26     "And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us."


Luke 19:8 -     "And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."
 

James 2

2       "For if a man with gold rings and in fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in     "
3      "and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "Have a seat here, please," while you say to the poor man, "Stand there far away from me," or, "Sit at my feet,"
4      "have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?"
5      "Listen, my beloved brethren.   Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?"
6      "But you have dishonored the poor man.   Is it not the rich who oppress you, is it not they who drag you into court?"
7      "Is it not they who blaspheme that honorable name which was invoked over you?"
8      "If you really fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.    "
