Its rare when secular websites wade into the faith and economics waters, but the President of the Foundation for Economic Education, Larry Reed, does a fine job here. As Reed argues,

The fact is, one can scour the Scriptures with a fine-tooth comb and find nary a word from Christ that endorses the forcible redistribution of wealth by political authorities. None, period.

You should read it all, but here are the salient conclusions:

Summary

• Free will, not coercion, is a central and consistent element in the teachings of Christ.
• It is not recorded anywhere that Christ called for the state to use its power to redistribute wealth.
• Christ endorsed things like choice, charity, generosity, kindness, personal responsibility, and voluntary association—things that are irreconcilable with coercively-financed redistribution schemes.
