@paul_lecrone @Saturn67926734 the point is more that there are always social priorities at play in art.
E.g. it’s noteworthy that Da Vinci’s subject is a noblewoman, not a pauper. That’s not a crime, just reflects that for DV, there is something in aristocracy, rather than poverty, worth representing
@nola_nobody@JamesMartinSJ “In Christ Jesus you are all children of God...As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus
@mis4tune_teller@JamesMartinSJ “I was a stranger and you did not welcome me”
“Whatever you did for the least of these you did to me”
“in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith…There is no longer Jew or Greek..,,for all of you are one in Christ Jesus”
@calvinrobinson Many have said this already, but please: Jesus’ ethos was to welcome and cherish every human, even those who were foreigners and outsiders. Jesus did not proclaim the nation; he proclaimed God’s Kingdom.
@tortletech@cari_kent@TylerHuckabee@MattMcWilliams2 well, that is how this conversation started—people with a shared philosophical system discussing whether, in fact, our philosophical system calls us to try to guarantee a stable lifestyle
@tortletech@cari_kent@TylerHuckabee@MattMcWilliams2 The concrete fact is: student debt *is* a need in contemporary US society for most students to have a stable lifestyle, given the disproportionate cost of tuition, rent, and general living expenses.

@cari_kent@TylerHuckabee@tortletech@MattMcWilliams2 Proverbs 22:7 begins “the rich rule over the poor.” It isn’t describing a GOOD thing. It’s saying that using debt to have power over others is bad. Proverbs 22:22: “Do not rob the poor because they are poor or crush the afflicted at the gate.”
@cari_kent@TylerHuckabee@tortletech@MattMcWilliams2 Ps 37 is clearly about justice for those with less and the powerful who don’t give their share (billionaires who dodge taxes) - “the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.”
@cari_kent@TylerHuckabee@tortletech@MattMcWilliams2 Philippians 4 is Paul thanking the Philippians for a gift, not an injunction against help (like the kind Jesus offers). You cut off the final line: “In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.”
