Don’t be deceived by false claims of “compassion” by repressive “progressives.”

Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek, to give the coat off our back, and to help the poor.

But He never said to use government coercion to do it for us …

Or to force others to pay for it.

You can’t find a single instance in all of Scripture, by example or precept, where government is given authority to usurp our individual obligation …

To be our brother’s keeper.

And thus we are left with the fundamental error of repressive “progressives,” who want government to assume the burdens of compassion which they won’t bear themselves …

While compelling everyone else to pay for it.

Scripture has lots to say about the proper role and authority of civil governments.

For example, God primarily tasks civil authorities with an obligation to protect the innocent from evil doers …

So we may live peaceable lives that allow us to fulfill our own obligations to take care of ourselves and each other.

But nowhere in Scripture does God empower government to usurp our personal obligations of individual responsibility and charity.

Turn to Scripture and prove me wrong.

Otherwise, you make an idol out of government power, expecting it to do and fix what God commands of us as individuals to do and fix …

Through personal initiative and voluntary cooperation.
