“On August 19, 2009, the president held a conference call with Christian clergy, urging them to endorse his healthcare legislation as a moral issue, and claiming that their Christian duty to care for their brother obligated them to support him. Now that is what hijacking Christianity looks like.” –Ken Blackwell
It is noble of all men and a Christian virtue to help our fellowman from the abundance of our own resources. It is lawlessness for the state to attempt to provide the same help from other men’s resources [after Walter Williams].
The welfare state demonstrates its immorality not only in the thief of another man’s property, but in creating a climate of dependency that holds multiple generations in bondage.
And the power that sustains this system is the sin that declares the whole Law to be of the heart. Coveting is the root of envy and class warfare. But now this sin is justified under the heading of fairness and equality. Yes, we are all equally accountable before the law, but even in the kingdom of God, equal outcome is not guaranteed. Per the Parable of the Sower, some increased a ‘hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty’ [Matthew 13:8].
