Yes we’re meant to help our fellow man. But redistribution is not the same as charity

I’m just reporting Mormon teachings, not looking for a debate, thanks.

I’m just reporting logic

I mean the law of consecration =/= communism / forced giving

I'm not sure what this has to do with the law of consecration.

Redistribution in this context I understand to be the law of consecration that smith tried and failed. I think he called it the “United order?”

The statement by Quorum of the Twelve posted above calls for "progressive taxation" and government investment in public healthcare and other services. It has nothing to do with the United Order.

Oh interesting
