Well, his father gave him a party for coming home, but didn't give him any more unearned money. Neither did his brother. The prodigal came home to earn his bread the hard, but approved way the God explained to Adam.
There goes your argument.
Of the fellow who wanted to excuse himself, Jesus told his disciples, "Let the dead bury their dead. You guys, you follow me. And bring your own food." No promise for misplaced compassion.
To the crowds he fed once not because they were poor, but because they were too lazy to provide for themselves. But the second--and last--time, he told them they were just following him to get more free meals, not to seek the incorruptible Bread, the Word of God, that would have given them Eternal Life.
Advancing the Kingdom of God by carnal means does not seem to be in God's plan to get humans saved, as your argument, which is the worthless "social gospel," seems to propose.
Nope, I don't have the same opinion as to how resources are to be allocated, for the purposes of evangelization.
The Salvation Army reaches people for Jesus Christ by their charity. My point is God led charity takes people who listen closely to Him. Being told by the Pope, a preacher, or a godless government to do more or make things equal does not work. Nor does forcibly having our ‘charity’ taken from us by taxes or other forms of coercion.
The message should be in the context of reaching the lost, for us to listen to God FIRST, in the best way to reach the lost whether they be poor or rich. Even giving a cold cup of water in His name, to someone can lead them to the Lord. Teaching work and responsibility does come along with that and I think someone like the Salvation Army does that too.
