The Bible say to work to earn so that you can share with those in need. To the best of my knowledge, it does not require that to be done individually.

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

Nowhere does government come into play.

Actually, I think I'm being quite consistent.

So if I understand you correctly you would say you can love your neighbor without finding his behavior--past or present--acceptable. If that's what you're saying I agree. I would also say the Bible tells us what is right and wrong. And we are commanded to love not just our neighbors but our enemies as well. This does not mean we have to accept as good any behavior the Bible says is wrong.

I believe these comments are consistent with what I an saying. However, if you read your previous comments again, I see discrepancies.

It isn't worth discussing any longer since it is my opinion you mean right regardless if I interpret some comments a little different.

Obviously that is all inconsistent with the concept of govt programs designed to help those in need. I find it hypocritical that evangelicals are all about legislating morality in some cases, yet in others-especially when it involves their wallets, they give pause. Greedy hypocrites.

I guess my overarching point is Christianity speaks to right and wrong. Where morality intersects politics Christianity should have a voice. However, when politics becomes the primary focus of Christianity then Christians have lost their true purpose--sharing the love of God through Jesus.

I appreciate the discussion!

If the rich man doesn't give, he's going to hell. I'd say that disputes your assertion that giving shouldn't be forced.

The entire Bible is about free will, to chose Christ, to chose to sin or not, and now you want it compulsory that the government takes to give to others? Completely inconsistent.
