Default Re: The Law of Christ

Other examples of LC practice violating the law of Christ is not helping the poor.

They twisted Mark 14:7 to mean that the church has no responsibility to help the poor.

Mark 14:7 "For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me."

But if you read carefully, the implication was that Jesus was always involved in ministry to the poor, and Mark 14:7 was the exception not the rule.

Galatians 2:10 "Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do."

Why did the LC ignore verses like Galatians 2:10 which clearly shows we should not forget the poor and needy? I think it's because so much of scripture contradicts LC theology that people just turn off their minds like I once did when I read the bible and instead interpret through the lens of fallible commentary and church tradition.

Although the example I gave earlier is not the best, it is along the lines of thinking that the LC always prioritized getting the right type of converts by focusing on college students and "working saints" rather than the outcasts of society which violates James 2 as well.
