God did not establish a national socialist healthcare plan. God gave us freedom and free will and instructions to work and enjoy the fruits of our own labor. Yes, and to be charitable for sure. Our Republic and republican system of government are inspired by God’s Word. The rule of law, equality under the law, justice, freedom, fruits of labor, charity, responsibility, etc, are all biblical principles.
God gave man freedom and free will, laid down the law and then doled out justice when man disobeyed the law, going so far as to flood the entire earth. Later, God led His chosen people out of slavery, gave them freedom, promised them a nation, gave them law and justice, taught them to work and prosper and enjoy the fruits of their own labor. And all they had to do in return was to deny any false gods or idols and worship Him only and to obey His law. When they backslid and refused to do so over and over, he finally allowed their nation to be divided and eventually conquered and the people scattered.
Centuries later, our founders established a new nation under God, based on God’s gifts of justice and freedom for all. Our republican form of government and system of laws are based on solid biblical principles. Our world, our nation, our lives, our freedom, our homes, our families, our livelihoods are all gifts from God. Everything we do must be God-centered or we eventually lose all and perish.
Defending and preserving our God-given Republic and freedoms are certainly in keeping with God’s will, IMHO.
Thank you very much.
I’m still trying to figure out the question “Did Jesus heal people for nothing?” Does the Bible say He got paid and I missed that part?
