Because at least the hypocrites did something good!
Matthew 6:1–4 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
The Bible is clear that motives and behavior count. Doing your good deeds to be seen by others will merit you no rewards. This is what the hypocrites were doing at the time.
But at least they were doing something. The virtue-signaling “Christian” Leftists mainly just beg “Caesar” to force you to fund counter-productive programs – and they think that fulfills the call in Matthew 25 to care for the “least of these.” And yet they are simultaneously adamant that Jesus approves of abortion to the child’s 1st breath and that you should have to fund that as well. They are indescribably hostile to the “least of these” in the womb.
They wanted to reduce your safety and increase your taxes by removing strict guidelines on “refugees” from terror-sponsoring nations. They falsely call it a “Muslim ban,” ignoring that 9 of the top 10 most populous Muslim countries aren’t on the lists. And they either don’t know or don’t care that you could house 12 times the number of refugees closer to their country of origin. These do-gooders will spare no expense (of yours) to highlight their virtue.
They defend MS-13 gang members — who rape and murder for sport – and speak of them more favorably than they do the NRA. Yet they don’t seem to personally help MS-13 members or share their gospel (as false as it is) with them.
They also oppose the border wall, hysterically claiming it will cause “climate change.” This is another example where their malice shows through. Even if they wanted amnesty for illegals already in the country, they tip their hands by opposing a wall that would help reduce future illegals from entering the country.
As always, ask these “Christian” Leftists what they are doing with their own time and money to productively help the least of these. Who would have thought that they would make the Matthew 6 hypocrites look good by comparison?
And keep doing truly good things with your time and your money and for God’s glory, not yours.
Matthew 5:14–16 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
