Aren't Christians supposed to give to the poor?

Again and probably for the billionth time:

Against taxation =/= against giving to the poor.

I personally give plenty to the poor and I would probably be able to give more if the government didn’t constantly take a large chunk of my paycheck to piss away on largely useless social programs and, to a much greater extent, lining their corrupt pockets. This is the same government who puts spikes on the road to stop homeless people from sleeping there and punishes churches for operating shelters without permits. You really think they’re the ones with the best interest of the poor in mind?

Honestly the amount of people who seriously think that the biblical command to give to the poor means “pawn that responsibility off to the government and call it a day” is pretty amazing.

Psalm 16

A Miktam of David.

Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”

As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whome is all my delight.

The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.

The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
