The Welfare State ... ? 3 questions please help!!?

Question

1) What is one of the aims of the Welfare State in the UK??
2) What is the Christian attitude to the Welfare State??
3) Are Christian decisions based on the Bible biased??

Answer 1

1. Provide health care to all people regardless of income.

2. Mixed opinion. Christians have a charitable attitude, but state run institutions create a mentality that destroys self reliance.

3. Sometimes there is a bias, but there are so many different interpretations of scripture that you can prove both sides in this argument. On verse supports sharing all things in common, another, supports taking care of yourself.
