When read as a whole in context the Christian Bible does not support the social gospel

If the social gospel means taxing people to give to the poor

Although both the old and new testament support voluntary charity to give to the poor and there even is an old testament tithe

Using violence, theft, kidnapping or fraud to force people to tithe or give to the poor against their will and calling it taxation violates the old and new testament

Paying taxes is not a sin
Enforcing taxes is a sin
