Well. Let’s see. Jesus came and spoke to people..... individuals. He told them YOU help the poor. YOU love them.

I do not recall Him going to the govt, to Caesar, and giving commandments for govt to do so (by TAKING). Why?

For YOU are to give ( keyword here is GIVE). That involves a sacrifice on your part. Willingly.

For YOU to replace your GIVING with the TAKING from others is to use a ‘theft’ to justify your reduction in giving, because FedGov has that covered.

You show me where Jesus told Caesar to use Govt monies (TAKEN by force and arguably CAUSING more ‘poverty’) so that poor people can be helped.

Yours is an insidious Liberal argument.

He held up a coin and asked whose picture was on it. Then he said "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar." That would be: your money. Your money belongs to the government.

I'll ask again. Give me ONE QUOTE where he says that the government should not use your money to help the poor.
