Perkins: Christians Who See A Role For Government In Reducing Poverty Are Wrongheaded Theocrats | Right Wing Watch

Scratching head a bit on this one as I try and understand the (lack of) thinking on Perkins part,,,

Let's say Perkins is correct, that the bile does not address this so-called redistribution of wealth (as he likes to characterize the social welfare programs) how then should one proceed? According to Perkins:

"The government has a responsibility to care for the poor? That’s not what Scripture says. The Scripture handed that responsibility to you and I as members of the faith, as followers of Jesus Christ; not the civil government." 

So please explain how he plans to lift 47 million people out of poverty?

If the Family Research Council put as much effort into feeding the poor as they do preventing gays from getting married, then maybe his argument wouldn’t be so easily scoffed at.
