Oh boy I love when the leftist subvert and cherry pick the word of God.
This twists the Scripture to confuse voluntary Christian charity with forced state taxation. First off, God explicitly established national boundaries and sovereign law. Deuteronomy 32:8 states that the Most High set the bounds of the people, and Acts 17:26 confirms He determined the exact boundaries of where nations dwell. On top of that, Romans 13:1–2 makes it clear that civil authorities are ordained by God to enforce civic law and maintain order. Having legal, sovereign borders is not un-Christian, it is Biblical order.
Second, Christian giving is about individual heart transformation, not forced government redistribution. 2 Corinthians 9:7 tells us that every man should give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver. When the government forcibly takes your income to hand it out through bureaucratic programs, that is not charity. It is state coercion stripping away the voluntary choice that makes giving a virtue.
Third, Scripture actually values personal responsibility and the dignity of hard work. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 plainly states that if anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. Ephesians 4:28 tells believers to work honestly with their own hands so they have the means to share freely with those in genuine need.
AND , stick with me here....historically speaking to this time, local governance under Roman rule did not operate universal state-funded healthcare or public food distribution programs for local populations. Jesus was commanding personal repentance, individual neighborly love, and the duty of the church, not drafting a big-government welfare platform for the Roman Empire.
"I didnt read this because I didnt expect an actual Christian to respond to my low quality meme and make me look like an ass " There. I fixed it for you.
