The Bible addresses individuals not nations. At one time all charity was from individuals NOT government. And while we’re on the subject of the bible that bookis full of moral values that the Demon party doesn’t want to discuss. So, yeah, bring on the moral debate you damned sodomites and baby killers. Surreal, man...
Let Him who can work, Eat...
In scripture
Not in the whole list of 10 Commandments or the Beatitudes does the Bibles say for us to stand back and let the government do things for us.
In fact, the Bible tells us that the Hebrews were told to stay away from Government (no kings, no census), but, to stick with local judges. Governments have their place, but, not doing charitable works.
