The Honorable James David Manning teaches why redistribution of wealth from the "haves" to the "have nots" is not the plan of Jesus. Thank God for this church man who understands and does not ignore the teaching of Jesus.
But Rev. Manning does not go far enough. We call all church men and women to stand up fearlessly and teach loudly and clearly that using government force to redistribute wealth is evil. Forcibly taking wealth from those who have earned it and channeling it to those who have not earned it is not only destructive to the souls of both the takers and undeserving receivers, but disastrously dispirits (and reduces the overall wealth of) the entire society.
The device which more deeply prepares freedom lovers for success, A Course in Miracles , talks about our ultimate need to free ourselves from every kind of slavery:
You have been told to bring the darkness to the light, and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of your self, the little thought that seems split off and separate, that the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping, and needs no guide. But this wild and delusional thought needs help, because, in its delusions, it thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery.
