I can't help you much with the way you read Scripture. I can only tell you what the Bible says.
Perhaps not, but there are volumes telling us it is our individual responsibility to do those things, NOT a government's.There is nothing in the Bible that forbids a nation from establishing a social safety net.

We are the government; "We, the people..."Just one voice should silence this idiocy. Jesus'. "When YOU (not your government) have done it for the least of these, YOU have done it for me."
I don't think ANYONE, Republican or Democrat, believes that is true anymore. LOLWe are the government; "We, the people..."

Not that Jesus seems to hold responsible for doing what He told Christians to do. When you stand in front of Him, I doubt He will accept you trying to blame the government for not helping others.So nations have no people living in them? Interesting.

So we pick and choose what Christian values we wish to codify into law? I get it.
In that case we are not behaving as responsible citizens to allow it, but I think many of us are more hopeful than you. In any case, it would not rule out government safety nets in principle, as you seem to want to do.I don't think ANYONE, Republican or Democrat, believes that is true anymore. LOL
No, I want to see any of your "safety net" programs be put up for a vote by all people across the country..… NOT just decided upon by some congress members. A referendum vote.In that case we are not behaving as responsible citizens to allow it, but I think many of us are more hopeful than you.

That's good. I'll just stop paying taxes. When the IRS guys show up with guns, I'll remind them of that.We are the government; "We, the people..."
Nah, just cut-to-the-chase and get all the leeches off of the body politic.No, I want to see any of your "safety net" programs be put up for a vote by all people across the country..… NOT just decided upon by some congress members. A referendum vote.

Ok. Got it.Why wouldn't you have just asked me? That is about how I see most text here if I don't alter it somehow. It makes it very convenient to enlarge my postings to easily determine if someone is replying to me.
