"A true Christian couldn't object"?  Is this not pretense?  Jesus said on many occasions that He was the only way.  If He was raised from the dead, which I believe He was, He has very much authority on true spirituality.  He said that he will be the judge of those in this world.  Julia's article is full of statements that are very extra Biblical.  What authority does she have to teach such things?  She claims that she is following Christ by being an apostate, but if you look at what Christ taught, its very evident that she is missing the mark of submission to Christs authority.  About the poor and needy, it should be our joy and mission in accordance with the gospel to serve their needs.  Forced giving by government or by the law is where the pretense seeps in.  With the help of the Holy Spirit, may my life and those who seek to serve God be poured out for the Gospel.  You see its not out of obligation but out of joy and gratitude.
