You miss the point. As a conservative Christian, I believe in caring for the poor and feeding the hungry through my church. We have 10 mission fields that address these needs both in our community and in the world writ large.

Liberals tend to believe this is the purpose of government. The are always very generous with other peoples money. That isn’t what the New Testament said. Jesus didn’t lobby the Roman government to help the poor, he told his disciples to do it!

Well the money you are using didn’t fall from thin air, unless you’ve got some special connection. Seems like the church is being generous with other people’s money, just on a smaller scale.

Additionally I don’t recall the New Testament being adopted as the guide for what government should do and not do.
