Selecting a few verses out of context here and there through the bible tells you very little or nothing about the real meaning of those verses in the context in which they were given. For example, one bible verse says that Judas went out and hanged himself, and a verse in another place in the same book says "go thou and do likewise".
No one believes that those verses are instructing the reader to hang himself. By the same token, no one should take the verses used by the dimrats to mean that God wants government to take money by force from those who work for their living and give it to those who could work but won't. Voluntary charitable giving to people in genuine need is undeniably a good work, and Christians are urged to do so by many bible passages. But so are virtues such as working for what you get and giving an honest day's work for honest pay. Paul instructed the early church in words to the effect that if a man will not work neither shall he eat.
No matter how much the dimrats twist scripture to serve their own purposes, they can't show anything in the bible that commends a system of involuntary collectivism, or that recommends that system as a charitable good work.
Yes. And the Op-Ed in the Washington Examiner points out that entitlement programs can actually make people less charitable towards their neighbors; and deprive individuals of the greater blessing promised by Christ to those who give.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" IS in the leftist's bible, Marxism.
