How much of societies woes are the obligation of churches and religion to intervene?

Question

Are Christians bound by the verse "true religion " aids the widows and orphans.(james 1:27) Or would this apply only towards members of the body?

Answer 1

I differ, I feel that the failing of religion to help in society is a direct reflection of the loss of the ideal that it takes a village to raise a kid, and it takes the world to raise a kid into a man. This is as true now as it ever was, unfornutly now our villiage has no idea what to raise its kids to do, its fratured by so many different ideologies, and our world, lol, could care less. This was well understood when kings ruled, they sure as heck couldn't have alien ideologies confusing the masses and inspiring false hopes, or real hopes, that could undermine his authority. But alas those in control found another way, make man BELIEVE he has a choice, then watch them all pursuit happiness thru money, which ties us ALL together under a common dictron. To a point people will not talk about. People pray, but work for money. People hope, but spend cash to gain those hopes. People wish, but know deep down they need the cash, to make it happen. So were all a bit immature and ignorant, no matter the ideology, because we believe deep down, were in control..... lol, that we made a choice. When in the end, were all cashing our work checks, or wishing we could..... this again, is socities doings, not the individual, were not that powerful.... so show some compassion, its not hard to teach morals, down an amoral path, were doing ok.....

Answer 2

Most of society's woes are the obligation of people that have children that cannot afford the finances or time to raise a child. It does not take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

Simply put, it takes more than two weekends a month and a check to make a father.

Your progeny is nobody else's responsibility other than your own, so don't wonder why junior can barley read or write and gets into legal problems when you did nothing to help him. He s not the governments kid he is yours!

No more charity for indiscriminate breeders!!! They take our money and their children occupy our jails.
