L&G-

I don't exactly know how to broach the topic, but do you notice how the most irascible characters in our, being possessive of white Christians, respective societies across the globe are also the poorest, most destitute and foul creatures? Consider the fact that God has established certain natural laws that people must abide by in order to receive blessing. Not least of which is the Golden Rule, which is infinitely subtle, ergo having manifold interpretations. One evaluation of the Golden Rule is: "You must give in order to receive." Think about this. If everyone put in their share and took only their share, then there would be enough to go around. Furthermore, if some put in more than they gave (and no one took more than they put in), there would be excess. However, in the case of people not putting in as much as they are taking out, we have the phenomenon of scarcity. Niggardly people make for niggardly resources. And the method for solving the problem of scarcity is not to take away from the generous and give to the niggardly, but to teach the niggardly to be generous. Then economics becomes a matter of supply and demand and, in all fairness, we can make sure that people in need don't go without.

God said in the Old Testament to his covenant nation, Israel, "There should be no poor among you." That was not to establish poverty as some type of crime, rather to establish the fact that when blessings flow, they should be shared with others so that, upon receiving a share of those resources, the kingliness of God would be revealed and people would come to trust almighty God. It is all for his glory and nothing else. God is practical, notwithstanding his divine order which is impossible for imperfect beings to consummately abide in. Accordingly, God has made accommodation for the regular distribution* of peoples with different abilities of acquiring property combined with unforeseen and natural occurrences in which some people fall into [tough circumstances]. In terms of wealth, God says that only a few men** on earth will ever be rich (a relative term). God says that, in terms of property, you reap what you sew. That's basically the final word. Some evil men become rich via corruption and bribery, but these people will pay the price for their deceit and it is not a human, rather God's prerogative to take vengeance. The last commandment in the Decalogue is 'thou shalt not covet'. God says that for a reason; it is a matter of social cohesiveness and providing the greatest good for the greatest number. If people are out on a mission to usurp every private gain from his neighbor, a violent society will ensue and any government based on these principles will collapse just as quickly as it rose (as in the case of a Communist rebellion).
