:Where are you getting your "true meaning of [[Jesus Christ]]"? You're not getting it out of the [[Bible]]. Sure, Jesus encouraged people to be charitable. But He also said,{{Bible quote|The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.|book=Mark|chap=14|verses=7|version=NIV}} And BTW: the context under which He said that was that [[Judas Iscariot]] had just complained about a woman breaking a three-hundred-[[denarius|dinar]] vial of fragrant oil over Jesus' head. (Well, everyone was complaining about it, but Judas the loudest.) Judas didn't care about the poor; he just wanted to make up the deficit in the apostolic treasury, which he had emptied out earlier.<ref>{{Bible ref|book=John|chap=12|verses=6|version=NASB}}</ref>

:Now you're not the kind of embezzler that Judas was. But what shall we call one who wants to be awfully generous--with ''other people's money?'' I hardly think that Jesus would approve of that.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]] 12:17, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
