Christians of today should be proclaiming the coming Kingdom and living like it's citizens... meek. Humble. Minding their own business. Caring for the poor. Not chasing money. Not judging others.

How Jesus lived his life and preached.

Instead, we find the opposite. The Empire has been embraced, the Flag is the #Idol. Let's take "God" and shove him into the American System.

Let's take God and some "principles" and force them on others. Let's start to lobby for things like banning gay marriage, but do nothing about divorce (because we don't talk about divorce! Shh!).
Let's celebrate the dollar and deregulation. Let's pollute the air, because oil.

Make no mistake, this isn't Christian living. This is idolatry.

Perhaps we should cease listening to rich "Pastors" who get invited to hang out with other rich people. Like how #Jesus didn't hang out with Pharisees.

Embrace Jesus and his Kingdom. Not this shallow substitute that is America.

The Pharisees weren’t rich, and Jesus hung out with them all the time. See Luke 11.

This is a fair point, it would be accurate to call them "lovers of money" rather than "rich".

Maybe you can criticize crappy modern christians without weaponizing ancient antisemitic texts or comparing them to Jews?
