Russell Moore’s latest CT article is about my anger-inducing post about “the least of these,” in which I asserted that this passage is referring to persecuted Christians—like Jack Phillips— and not the poor. Moore mischaracterizes my point (of course), taking my post to mean that Christians shouldn’t care for the poor. That’s not what I said at all. It’s just that that passage isn’t talking about caring for the poor in general. "In the context of Jesus' teachings, especially in the context of Matthew (as opposed to Luke), this parable addresses not serving all the poor but receiving the gospel's messengers." - Craig S. Keener, Matthew, vol. 1, The IVP New Testament Commentary Series (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1997), Mt 25:31-46. My point in that particular post was that those who vote Democrat for “the least of these” really don’t have a good Biblical argument. The true least of these - eg Phillips, Lorie Smith, Bevelyn Williams - are being systemically targeted by progressive activists and politicians. Plus, even if that passage were speaking about poor people generally, Democrats’ policies don’t help them, so it’s still not a good argument. It’s also interesting that those who insist the “least of these” are the world’s marginalized almost never include unborn children - the most vulnerable group in the world - in that category. My point was that citing helping “the least of these” to vote Democrat is dumb. My point still stands.
