Aside from that statement I underlined being oxymoronic, the welfare state is not a part of Christianity at all. The Bible warns against establishing big government because it promotes slavery and disease instead of health and freedom (1 Samuel 8:10-18).
many Christians who are Democrats see welfare is using the state to perform charity, help the poor, help the sick, etc. …
I agree with you. I was simply repeating the explanation I was given by more than one lib.
It’s frustrating to love someone and hear them say something so freaking stupid.
