The part I don't get, however, is how self-professed Christians can get behind an agenda of exterminating the homeless for being homeless. Of course, Jesus would support legal penalties for criminal homeless people, but ultimately, in Revelation, Jesus says that the standard for whether someone is admitted to heaven or is sent to hell is if Jesus "knows" the person, and Jesus gives examples of people who turned him away in his time of need as those he doesn't know, and of people who helped him during his time of need as those whom Jesus knew.
Jesus says he will say to those who did not help him, "I do not know you." Then the judged they are sent into the fire that burns and does not consume, forever, for those whom Christ does not know. And Christ makes clear in Revelation that knowing him, personally, means treating one's fellow man as if the fellow man were Jesus himself, as the meaning of the Holy Spirit remaining with us on earth after Christ's ascension to heaven is that we must all cooperate and love one another as Christ loved us in his incarnation, his life on earth.
So how does mistreating, even murdering, homeless people square with Christ's teachings and what he says about one's fate in either heaven or hell depending on how people treat one another?
