I had to comment on this as well.

I do think that the original Mosaic Law had some fine things about it, much of which pertained to the poor and how they were to be provided for. Check out Leviticus 19: 9,10 where it tells landowners to leave the corners of the fields for the poor to glean from. A whole book is devoted to charity--Ruth, another book deals with the potential consequences for not obeying the commandment to take care of the poor--Amos.

I can see the rich, conservative landowners talking to eachother back when Amos was doing his thing. "Like who is this God guy anyway? What makes Him think he can tell us what to do with our property?" :eyes:
