^ that PoliSpiceAn accurate understanding of the Bible requires the distinction between 'redistribution' and 'generosity.'
"Some people conclude from these verses that the Bible supports government-enforced wealth redistribution. But what these verses really show is that the Bible advocates generosity.
These are two very different concepts.
Generosity springs from free will....not force, coercion, or threats.
I try to avoid your crazy because- you know- crazy.
But here's the thing. Jesus says that the rich who don't share with the poor are going to Hell.
State sanctioned redistribution have behind it the threat of confiscation, imprisonment or even execution at the harsher ends of it.
How are not both "coercive"? Frankly, I think threatening you with eternal damnation and hellfire is a lot more coercive than, "Well, if we catch you cheating on your 1040, we'll audit you."
Be Generous is not a nice suggestion, it's a threat in the Bible. (of course, everything is a threat in the bible, because the Abrahamic Sky Pixie only does threats.)
