Jesus had crowds of followers. Because Jesus addressed the needs of people. He did not simply demand compliance. He was the only Physician- Lord. Not one over the other. But that is who He was.
Let me tell you this truth about religious people. Because I did ministry because of Solomon's counsel. Religious institutions who complain about having followers have no reason. When you develop non profit to address needs of poor, you would be shocked at the amount of followers.
I met a lot of people who used Proverbs for their particular business. It is sickening. Proverbs is selling out to the cause of the poor and needy. And let me tell you. You want to know were the Christians are? In the ministries to the down and out. I know by experience.
You want to change the world? You wont accomplish it with moral change. You wont accomplish it through the end of a barrel. You will when you set up missions in our cities. You want successful churches, you mean nothing focused inward. You must go into the world!
14 31 “Whoever oppresses the poor despises his maker, but he who is good to the needy honors God." The key question of whether God has scrupulously satisfied the requirements of the moral law to undoubtedly prefer the recognized saints, does he not show this concern by adequately defending the needy? How can we reasonably trust a person's salvation if he neglects the helpless? The consistent message of eternal salvation depends on God's care for the needy and the worthy in need. If God decided to abort a viable fetus, he would be morally obligated to welcome from the bottom of his heart into eternal rest. How can we teach God to abort a viable fetus in eternal fire?It would be more destructive than Hitler. This is why Jesus took pity on the worthy deprived and the needy. God is analogous to responsible human beings who respond to human suffering. This is why personal greed is so bad. Because he systematically denies the moral responsibility to sincerely love others as oneself.God's salvation is sufficiently proven by the general attitude towards the helpless.
