    Last I checked, the U.S. government was primarily made up of professed Christians. So shouldn’t they be using their positions to care for the poor and those less fortunate?

      Based on their theology, no, they should be using portons of their salaries to take care of those individuals.

        I’ve read the New Testament and I don’t remember where it says that the only way that the poor should be helped is by Christians giving them money from their salaries. Can you point it out to me please?
