Disclaimer: Not a Christian here. While it's true that Christ teaches us to be kind to the less fortunate, He did not teach us to be kind to the less fortunate with other peoples' money, ie the money of hard working taxpayers being used by elected officials to redistribute the wealth of a nation from the haves to the have nots. Playing an argument to the faithful by twisting scripture and using the guilt card......not cool.
I continue to here people on the right claim their party is the one with Christian values but I don’t see much of the compassion that Christ taught when it come to those less fortunate. They seem to do the complete opposite. Save the baby’s but don’t pay the bill once they are born into a bad situation.
I think there are a few of the 10 Commandments that cover this:
Abortion is covered under Commandment #5:
“Thou shalt not kill.”
The better translation from the Hebrew would be “Thou shalt not murder” — a subtle distinction but an important one to the Church. Killing an innocent person is considered murder. Killing an unjust aggressor to preserve your own life is still killing, but it isn’t considered murder or immoral.
As for money that covered under Commandment #7 and 10
“Thou shalt not steal.” #7
The seventh and tenth commandments focus on respecting and honoring the possessions of others. This commandment forbids the act of taking someone else’s property. The Catholic Church believes that this commandment also denounces cheating people of their money or property, depriving workers of their just wage, or not giving employers a full day’s work for a full day’s pay. Embezzlement, fraud, tax evasion, and vandalism are all considered extensions of violations of the Seventh Commandment
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.” #10
The Tenth Commandment forbids the wanting to or taking someone else’s property. Along with the Seventh Commandment, this commandment condemns theft and the feelings of envy, greed, and jealousy in reaction to what other people have.
