This is a interesting question, as to whether the left can claim a Christian basis for social programs. While Christ urged people to give everything they had to the poor. I believe that you are correct, there is no reference in the bible to having the government do it for you. It is a spiritual issue for the individual to decide. I think, oddly enough, that many social programs have been tolerated by the electorate out of a sense of Christian charity. I think that many victims of storms, floods and sundry other occurrences of bad luck are happy that the government does involve itself in helping people on occasion.

Yes it is...And many here seem to think the answer is simple...I am grateful that we have somewhat of a system that will provide care for friends and relatives of mine that are unable to care for themselves...My parents both took advantage of Medicare before they passed on...I likely will follow the same path...

A hundred years ago, people with cancer, diabetes and other ailments just died...Most families couldn't afford to care for their relatives...

Even today, what Church congregations could afford to care for their elderly??? It doesn't seem so un-Christian like when non-Christian money is used to keep the Christians going...I don't make a lot of money but yet I don't mind paying taxes for Americans, to a degree...

But it's funny how the ones that make so much they can't spend it all, do the most whining...And these same people complain to High Heaven about America's social programs but you never hear a peep out of them about sending billions to terrorist and communist countries...

LK....If what I've been encountering in lib/progressive political forums is any indicator, then the answer to your question is 'yes'. It's obvious from what they're claiming that they're being told by their handlers that 'fundies' have stolen and subverted Christianity. And that in fact, the Left represents 'true' Christianity.

We're definitely living in times of tremendous deceit, paranoia, and delusion. Up is down, down is up, left is right, good is bad, and cultural Marxism is Christianity.
