Not perhaps. Read the Beatitudes, or any of Jesus’ sermons. There is no doubt that Christians have both individual and collective responsiblities to the poor, the weak, the despised, the sick, and the out of favor. I can’t have an individual relationship with Christ and ignore what he says about how I need to live my life.

Christ doesn’t ask us to have others forcibly redistribute of our wealth-he expects us to do it willingly and with joy!

What’s interesting is that the “social justice” folks give much less of their own money or effort to the poor, weak, despised, sick and out of favor.

Can you show me, from Scripture, just where Christ gave away some of HIS earthly stuff to the 'poor'?
