LoL I’m a Catholic Californian (with Protestant tendencies) — lineage in the states not going far back. The political landscape is more complicated now indeed.
ABSOLUTELY.
They ignore, dismiss, and trample on the fact that theologically Christian charity as it comes from scripture is about you personally, vouuntarily, indpendently or voluntarily with others, doing something charitable. It is 100% not about government compulsion to be charitable, and not about 51 out of 100 of us telling the other 49 that the law, the government is going take money from you and do with it as the 51 out of 100 want. That is Marxist socialism not Christian charity.
Christian charity does not seek to make a serf of the government out of the recipient. Morally the recipient knows the Christian charity is not an entitlement, it is gift lovingly, voluntarily given to them. The difference in how this affects the inidividual is that the Christian charity builds moral people and the creation of government serfs is morally debilitating.
‘Love is love’ is the mantra of pedophile groups. Run from Democrat narratives.
It is up to Christians to determine when they’re being played by the LEFTISTS and to respond appropriately. If a homeless, druggie dude, shows up at a church, then, yes, do whatever you can to turn his life around.
But if some nice, charismatic guy, tells you to NEVER eat meat again, deal with him appropriately and send him back to the Unitarians. We are a DIFFERENT people, and they can try to penetrate, but we’ll fight them off.
Hit!
