[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Where in the Bible does Jesus say its societies responsibility to take care of people?

Beats me. I'm Catholic, and my understanding is that Jesus calls each of us individually, addresses each of us personally. And if I'm not mistaken, that's also the Protestant take on it.

Everyone is missing the point and it has to start being stated!!! WE DO TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE! Every person who works is working for the government until September of every year. We give “donations” with every pay check earned. It is time that the “UNINSURED” starts asking their government what they are doing with the money we give them. If they managed our money with respect, they wouldn’t have to ask for more.

This is exactly how Christian Socialists are born- injecting their personal political/societal views into scripture. UGH.

It is for the sola scriptura ones, anyway.
