Champions of the poor.

Former Lousiana governor Earl Long is quoted as saying:
The three best friends the poor people have ever had are Jesus Christ, Sears & Roebuck and Earl K. Long.
And now, some televangelists want to remove Jesus Christ from that list.

They are arguing that Jesus was not poor, but rich...ie one of them.

Evangelicals claim monopoly on God, or access to God...are they now attempting to seal Jesus in the process?

How far will they go in order to justify themselves, and their own accumulation of wealth at the expense of their flocks?

Are they "fleecing their flocks" too?
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.
