The sanctification of poverty (Sun 25 C / 180916)

AMOS (8.4-7) is angry about the swindler - the people who work in darkness to cheat the other one's - these swindlers are people they like to get rich - sorry they have chosen the wrong way, an exploiting way. The real poor people cannot do so - if you have no money, you cannot buy up the poor for money; that's the same for people with poverty vow. In the eyes of AMOS poor people cannot be cheaters - they are sanctified.

1. Tim 2.1-8 gives us an advice... that we may be able to live religious and reverent lives... if we pray for  the King (President, General, Bishop etc...) then the King will be good in any case and you will live in peace. Such a logic is only for poor religious people.

Today Luke is too much emotional (Lk 16.10-13): God or money - slave in every case.
Mother Teresa has done service to the dying people accepting money to do this. She was in no way a slave...  she has done her work by her own decision. God has not helped her with money... but some rich people. God has disappeared into darkness, some rich people came to the fore. 

To Mr. AMOS:  pls listen! Your God of revenge is no help any more. Go to the Education Minister and advice her to educate people to get rich by a honest way...  it means pls educate people: HOW to get rich by a honest way... if there is one; if not - build one.

To Mr. Timothey... today it's proven: the prayer for the King don't make him better You are a herald of a very strange doctrine: pay a ransom to God and God will be pleased. Are you serious ???

To Mr. Luke - sorry - we are not slaves any more. But worse: today we believe in God and appreciate the richness, God has offered by his creation. We are so joyful that we see: the right way is to share, to distribute the richness...  if we are supposed to be poor - we can
not share! only make a vow...
But sorry, the new God of Mercy is in favour of poverty, like the people who vow to be poor... poverty is sanctified; there is no vow to get rich... and all who like to eradicate poverty are not only bad people - against the sanctification of poverty - but also swindlers because they do it also for themselves and for all.
