Biblical benevolence and accountabiity

Biblical benevolence bears moral accountability seeking to restore broken lives and reconcile lost souls, not create government dependents. Opportunists have always invoked helping the poor to enrich themselves. This awful trait resembles Judas Iscariot (John:12:4-6 [4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, [5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? [6] This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
See All...) more than Jesus Christ. The welfare state yields to Caesar that which is God’s and the results are predictably dire.
