[QUOTE="PeaceByJesus, post: 72394418, member: 325380"] Where I am the poor among whom I am privileged to live are only poor in relative terms, and being a minority can be an advantage to obtaining government jobs and help, especially it seems for those who choose to have children with no (reported) live-in husband. It is amazing how the organic NT church of Acts 2-6 operated so efficaciously with no government welfare. Increasingly expansion and reliance upon an inefficient and often unpredictable state, which can penalize the politically incorrect, is to be avoided by Christians. Here in the USA SS was and is a good thing, except that the pols could not resist using the money to get themselves elected by using the funds for issues which it was not intended for. Politicians in general who claim to be concerned for the poor use the money of others, but are millionaires who give little themselves percentage-wise. Meanwhile, nowhere in your list of "social justice" (which often should be termed "mercy" and "grace" rather than "justice") causes do i see any concern or priority to the poorest of the world, as in Africa, and the persecuted Christians, such as in militant Muslim and Communist countries, and other places, which evangelical ministries (such as [URL='https://www.persecutionproject.org/news/']Barnabas Aid, Persecution Project[/URL], [URL='https://www.persecution.com/']Voice of the Martyrs[/URL], [URL='https://www.samaritanspurse.org/']Samaritan's Purse,[/URL] etc.) work to help. Far more efficiently than any gov. agency. [/QUOTE]
