CCK Post: “Trampling on the Word of Christ”
The headline and the premise of this Clear Kut Kidder post is as inaccurate as it is strong.
The teachings of Christ DO urge each to actively render needed and possible assistance to those in need. This is an inescable obligation of the Christian, on an individual, person-to-person level.
However, this does NOT sanction one to use force of arms (in this case the police authority of the state which enforces taxation) to sieze the wealth of one in order to give it to another that the Ceasar siezer feels is deserving of it.
Of course, if one embraces the revolutionary “social gospel” as originated and propagandized by the radical communo-socialist clergy of Latin America, then I guess anything goes, but the Chief doesn’t worship at THAT church!
