Hardmirror, Jesus didn't mean it literally

the Banquet there represents "Bla Bla Bla"

The neighbours, friends and rich people there don't mean what is clearly spelt out but actually means "Bla Bla Bla"

The lame, blind, deaf etc there don't mean what is clearly spelt out but actually means "Bla Bla Bla"

The dinner there is not food and eating, it actually means "Bla Bla Bla"

You need the holy spirit to give you the true meaning and understanding of those verses

same way jesus complained to u guys to call us backsliders? If you can call us backsliders, sinners, hell bound and other detasteful names, so can we call you hypocrites afterall it is visible to the blind that you are no follower of christ so the name is actually a true definition of folks like you

mr sonofthunde.r are you a christian? Do you do this? If out over 2billion christians world wide only 5 christians do this, what should i say? Over 24hrs this thread has been opened no one not a single christian has been able to debunk my claim, No one does this simple. Only person i have known to do this was mother Theresa when she asked that her award dinner be given to the poor in india. That is a negliga@le number, you all invite your friends to your birthday parties and ceremonies, you cannot simply be selfless as jesus as asked you to be, not even the pastors. You are all vipers, liars you want the world to applaud you and give accolades to the church, for what exactly. Holier than thou fake assses very useless set of people.

It is about time people see christianity for what it is. Pretentious lazy money minded assslicking people.

If you are are true, why not repent and pledge henceforth you would start doing this which jesus asked you all to do. But to prove i am right you all prefer turning a blind eye and trying to find excuses not to practice this. Then why the fvck are u a christian? Lol

mr man, speak for yourself, do you follow this Jesus' instruction? Let us start from there. What about your family, does anyone practice this? Ok, how about your church members? Is it not your friends and family you invite to your parties?
Oya, let us start from there

all the people you listed above engage themselves to follow this scripture... so I find it difficult to accept your position on this or should I say conclusion.

even when I was in school, there was a group that used to organise themselves to touch the lives of the less privileged and orphans by reaching out to them at regular intervals by identifying and doing everything to meet their needs and since you like parties, yes they ALWAYS threw parties for them, they ALWAYS did.

Luke 14:12-14 New International Version (NIV)

12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

This is an express command from Jesus christ himself, it is not a metaphor, this is clear and express. Jesus did not mix words here. Yet it is a commandment almost no christian practices. Why?

since i was born till date, i have Never seen a christian practice this

James 1:27 New International Version (NIV)

27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

These are obviously more important commandments than tithing that was never commanded in the new testament and yet christians have failed to practice this while donating to the building of mega churches, buying of unnecessary worldly possessions all with the excuse that jesus rode on a borrowed donkey and jesus was never poor.

It is time we question if we truely have a heart or just serving God for money
Explaining scriptures to you is too much for your natural mind to grasp. In essence you lack the innate ability or capacity to grasp the epignosis of the scriptures.

Right now I'm not interested in 'other christians' they have the ability to understand and won't be misled by your post.

Hmm actually there is someone who is completely interested in your live such that he numbered all the hairs on your head, He didn't just count them! If one strand of hair should drop from your hair this moment he's able to tell that that's number 1,195 that just dropped!

You see the Father is so loving and kind that he has told us to ask for anything, just like any responsible father he won't give you anything that would harm you.

AMP:For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. Mark 11:24

He also told us to completely rely on him:

AMP:Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. 1 Peter 1:5
