Have you ever heard from hundreds of the TV and radio evangelists including those in foreign countries, and the Filipino minister who preaches weekly at the Luneta Park, or your local church pastors who preach about these scriptures? "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow" (2 Thes. 3:6-9). From our experiences in over 40 years of having regularly attended and/or visited over 40 different Messianic, Sabbath and Sunday-observing churches, and having met hundreds of Christians at the college campuses and work places here in the Philippines and the United States, we have never heard them preach or talk on self-sufficiency! No wonder, for almost 2000 years since the founding of the New Testament Church, millions of fellow Christians around the world are living way below the poverty line of even those in the Second World. Majority of the so-called Christians from and in the First World are not interested to practice what they are supposed to be doing and preaching in the first place! The priests, pastors, missionaries, educators, authors, producers, directors, actors, and other leaders are hypocrites! They are very prolific in preaching behind the podium, over the radio, movie, TV, Internet and other means of media. Some of them earn thousands to millions in U.S. dollars from writing, selling books and producing movies and TV documentaries on Jesus Christ, Anti-Christ, 666, Mark of the Beast, Planet X, Wormwood, Apocalypse, Armageddon, Bible Codes, Da Vinci Code, Illuminati, shadow governments, secret societies, secret rapture or "left behind" theory, etc. They are excellent talk show hosts, convention or seminar speakers, preachers, professors, writers, media moguls, but not the doers against the air and environmental pollutions and climate changes or global warming! On the other hand, the church goers spend more of their time, tithes and offerings either to build, buy, lease or rent and maintain church-office buildings, campuses and parking lots, rather than to help create the necessary sustainable rainforest, conservation, and other related products and services! When they drive to church on Sunday, which is not the biblical Sabbath day, they spend more time worrying where to park their vehicles in the crowded parking lots and streets than to spend time preparing their minds for their religious services. In the commercial and industrial sectors, hundreds of them accumulate millions to billions in U.S. dollars from buying and selling stocks on oil, commodities, other traded products and services, and earning overpaid salaries beyond their firms' assets but neglecting their liabilities. Despite the high incomes of the so-called Christians with tax breaks and access to off-shore banking to hide their wealth from the Internal Revenue Service or other tax collectors, they do not aid the Third World Christians to become fully independent and self-sufficient in their own native land, so that the latter do not have to seek jobs or immigrate to work for the First World.
However, in the Holy Bible it is written: "Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, they had all things in common... Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need" (Acts 4: 32, 34-35). Almost all of the followers of religion as well as the secular people around the globe ignore the following facts: "About 40 percent of deaths worldwide are caused by water, air and soil pollutions," according to a group of Cornell University researchers in 2007. "More than 4.5 million people die each year from industrial and vehicle emissions and from burning fuels indoors," according to the World Health Organization! They have become the slaves of the oil cartels and traditional car and truck manufacturers. Millions of the individuals and families in the First World buy one or more vehicles which are powered with gasoline and/or diesel fuels, instead of the ones which run on hydrogen, electric, ethanol, biodiesel, other alternative, renewable and cleaner sources of energies to protect and preserve Planet Earth for the next generations.
