That Jesus didn’t speak about electing a government is beside the point; he didn’t have that option. He did live in a world governed by a Torah that let the government have laws that mandated care for the poor. He lived in a world that didn’t just leave it up to individuals. Sure, there was lots of private charity. That too, on top of laws. And we ought not to construct our Christian principles on what Jesus didn’t say. Hey, Mr. Falwell, Read Your Bible ☀
