Could Jesus tell you to do the same thing He told people in the Bible ?
No, Jesus wouldn’t tell me to do that—that was just for the person He was talking to in the Bible.

Such as . . .?
+”Sell all you have, give it to the poor, and come follow Me.”
+”You feed them.”
+”Let the little children come to Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.” DON’T KILL THEM—Don’t “send them away,” as the disciples said.
+”Don’t lay up treasures on earth.” (as in the typical American retirement portfolio)
+”Where your treasure is, there your heart WILL BE ALSO.”
+”Lay up treasure in heaven.” (can’t lay it up in heaven and keep it on earth)
+”If you see your brother or sister in need, and shut up your bowels of compassion, how does the love of God dwell in you?”
+”Do good to all people, especially to those of the household of faith.”

The devil’s first words, to Eve, effective ever since:
“Did God really say . . .?”
What if Jesus asked you to do something uncomfortable, to give up . . ., to give away . . .?
You might ought to listen, and do it.
Learn from Adam and Eve—it boils down to a simple choice, not rationale.
Are you afraid to go against the grain of history, especially current American history ?

Better to be on the right side with God—the right side of His/story—than on the right side of momentary, modern history.
