More bible quoting for their personal agenda

Sigh...Liberation Theology and Matthew 25. You thought it was pretty much over with when Obama left the White House, but it still has to show up, and of course the verses are still taken out of context to fit the agenda of whomever wants to use it today to fit whatever their doing.
It's no different than when Chris Pratt used James 1:19 to do what he wanted in his defense of the fired director of his movies. If the money making directors' gone, how's he going to cash in? Better run to the bible for assistance, right? The same goes with this example as mentioned from the Washington Times:
(Begin Quote)"Liberal 2020 presidential hopefuls quoted from the Bible Tuesday, saying the responsibility of the Senate to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court is a moral choice.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker said the choice is between a pro-corporate court or one that sides with minorities and people in need, claiming that since 2006 the court under Chief Justice John G. Roberts has sided with the pro-business Chamber of Commerce 70 percent of the time.
They questioned what Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, would add to the court since he was vetted by the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation, two conservative organizations.
“Corporations have won 62 percent of the cases they’ve been in whenever they are up against workers, shareholders, people who represent the public interest,” Ms. Warren said at a press conference on Capitol Hill.
“This moment is crystalized in Matthew 25,” she said, surrounded by faith leaders. Recalling the Bible passage, she said it emphasizes the value in each and every human." (End Quote)
This moment is crystalized in Matthew 25? Really? Sounds like it was crystalized in Liberation Theology from the 1950s-1960s. Perhaps in verses 35 through 40, you would say? "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:35-40)
So, no doubt, the verses are taken out of context, NOT to mean Daniel's 70th week, NOT to mean Tribulation Israel, NOT to mean the Gentile Nations assisting the Little Flock in their time of need from the Antichrist and his group, but for their agenda against Judge Kavanaugh, Trump, etc. etc. just twist the bible to fit your agenda. That's been going on for ages, and will continue to do so.
The worst part is for those who are unlearned and see this going on without understanding. What do they make of all this confusion? Remembering from experience, I remember how I couldn't even form the right questions in my mind as a youth, knowing that there was a real context for the verses, but I couldn't figure out what it could possibly be, and hearing all the politics, and actors, and religious jargon(s) on the radio and television at the time, could not make heads nor tails of what was going on. (Bible verses taken out of context non-stop, seemed as if it were the norm, and that the bible wasn't but a book of slogans to be carved for man's personal purposes...especially as a member of the Roman Catholic man-made system such as it was in the 1980s.)
The gospel, as well as much accurate bible doctrine was hid from me. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.
How thankful I am that the gospel was given to me, and that I trusted it. Bible verses need not be taken out of context, but be driven further and further each and every day back into the context of where they belong using the key of Mid Acts Dispensational Right Division to do so. I get my bible back, and everything fits into place again, having no need to take verses out of context to fit any personal or private agenda.
