Another Word On "Jesus As Socialist"

[Billy_Kinetta]

Jesus said "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

He did NOT say "Go, take from your neighbor and sell everything, give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Not a sermon, just a thought.

None of them did as Christ stated....They still have their amassed fortunes......and will never give them up.......giving a little is not the same as getting rid of it all.....

 

[Anathema]

I understand what it means. I just disagree with the ideas of harming my own well being AND GIVING ANYTHING to people who have not earned it.

Charity at gun point is having to fund the war Department the Pentagon

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States ..."

The general welfare clause is and has been used for sometime to give the federal government blanket authority over virtually every aspect of American life, something it was never intended to have. It is highly debatable that providing lifetime welfare to non-productive citizens and "guests" promotes the general welfare of the nation, or if the federal government even has such authority under the Constitution to raise revenue and distribute it for that purpose in the first place.

The point of redistributing wealth within a society is to alleviate extremes that the economics of the society cannot alleviate within the context of 'market forces' or laissez faire capitalism.

"The point" of redistributing wealth is not the issue here.
