Jesus Wants You to Steal From the Rich
Показать описание
In this episode we discuss a compelling case from the Scriptures and church theologians like John Calvin, Thomas Aquinas, and others about whether taking from the wealthy to feed the poor constitutes theft. We lay out a compelling case that God intends his creation to sustain the basic needs of his creatures. Therefore, every creature made in God’s image possesses rights over basic provisions. We also talk about Paul’s latent communism.
That’ll Preach connects the world of scholars, theologians, and pastors to every day people through conversation and dialogue.
