The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Word. Which means the Old Testament also.
The Old Testament tells us that a good parent leaves an inheritance for their children.
It tells us to pursue wisdom and flee from folly.
By wisdom a house/home is built.
By wisdom prosperity is made.
Foolishness or folly lead to ruin and dispair.
The wise man built his home on the rock, the fool on the sands. That when the storms came, the fools house was swept away, but the wise mans house was safe.
The Bible teaches us that there are consequeces, good or bad, for our actions.
The Bible tells us the all good gifts and blessings are from God. If God were marxist, would he not bless all equally?
The Bible tells us that if we live a certain way, he will bless us, which means if we don't live that way he won't bless us. Again that inequality thing.
The Bible talks about money or possesions more than any other single thing. It tells how to aquire it, and what to do with it.
Proverbs 31 tells of a dillegent, virtuous woman. She gets up early to prepare food for her family and servants. NEXT she considers a field and buys it. Then she plants a vineyard. AND YET she's already fed her family and servants, and still she buys a field and plants a vineyard FOR MORE? Then it tells us her and her family wear fine clothes.
The Bible teaches ANYTHING BUT marxism, and has nothing to do with todays "Social Justice".
I’ve heard some explanations for Paul collecting money to be sent back to the Christians in Jeruselum that were having a difficult time. They were trying their hand at communal living. I think there are other New Testament accounts where lazy folks were being admonished. Presumably in one of these communal living arrangements.
And of course the Pilgrims barely made it until they switched to a “free-market” system of living.
For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. II Thess 3:10
I’ve never seen a Social Justice believer yet who could successfully explain away the above NT verse.
So does the N.T. I read it very recently, I don't remember which book. Paraphrased: Parents are supposed to store up for their children, not children for the parents. Might have been 1st or 2nd Corinthians.
“The Old Testament tells us that a good parent leaves an inheritance for their children. “
Ecclesiastes has a slightly different take on that sentiment, speaking of the vanity of a man who builds up wealth all of his life then dies, leaving it to lazy and selfish children. Now in terms of leaving some land, a little capitol, and a strong set of instilled godly values, then indeed a parent did well in OT times. Sometimes a poorer parent did well simply by instilling Godly values.
