Yeshua NEVER did and NEVER could have and NEVER would have preached to his flock that what he wanted them to do was go and get the permission from Ceasar (secular power) to have his sword as a sign of authority (secular law) to go TAKE from their neighbors all they saw fit for achieving some benevolent act.

Yeshua NEVER preached that to take was to give.

Socialism, couched in a “democratic” venue is ALL about taking, not giving.

Yeshua was offered the keys to all the kingdoms of the world - secular power - and He rejected it, saying His kingdom was not of this world - the secular power systems.

Whatever our mission as Christians is, in charity toward others, secular authority is the last place for it, not the first.

That is because He understood the economics of Leviticus 25, unlike 99% of the Church. Without an accurate reading of Exodus 23:11, one never could understand it.

BTW, you won't find an accurate rendering of Ex. 23:11 in any English translation other than at chabad.org (they changed it pursuant to my book on the topic; albeit they have one more tweak to go :-).
