"Profits should be distributed according to the law of Love".
This may be true, but the sluggard and sloth are condemned. Charity given by the law of love is much different than the free lunch welfare is. TANSTAAFL. We are commanded to work well, to be good stewards of our funds, not to grumble or complain demanding princely treatment.
My wife is friends with a man who would rather go to prison than work at McDonald's to pay off a fine. Is it loving to give such a person welfare? Love is charitable and good, but sometimes it requires a tougher action. Many on welfare are legitimate and hard working people. The problem is that many more are not. Most people refuse to flip burgers or walk behind an elephant with a bucket and shovel. Should I collect welfare if the shovel & bucket job is availible and adequate? Should I recieve unemployment if I am not actively seeking work?
The extreme left and/or secular view of socialism is far from how we should look at it as Christians.
"There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God." - Jonathan Edwards
