I do not understand social justice as necessarily involving laws that redistribute wealth, although clearly that is what God instituted in the Year of Nubiles, is it not? Most of the Christian and Adventist projects that focus on social justice are not interested in such laws. But, is there anything in Scripture that prohibits taxes that collect money to help the poor? The civil laws God instituted in the Old Testament under a theocracy included such taxes. Maybe there are economic or political arguments against this practice, but are there Bible-based prohibitions?
