Socialism in no way satisfies the Christian requirement to help the needy.

For those advocating it without their own skin in the game, it does nothing, for they have desire without substance.

For those being forced to “help”, their “contribution” counts for naught because they aren’t doing it of their own choice.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (New International Version)
7Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Yes.

That’s what I have always understood.

Thanks for the scripture citation.

And from what I read, God doesn’t forget things like that.
