   The Key Difference Between Jesus and a Socialist   
   Letters, May 9, 2022, WSJ   
      
   Prof. Alexander William Salter’s “Jesus a Socialist? That’s a Myth”    
   (Houses of Worship, April 22) is certainly correct. But the reason    
   is even simpler than Mr. Salter’s explanation. Nowhere in the    
   Christian scriptures does Jesus teach, urge or even remotely suggest    
   that the power of the state should be enlisted to enforce his teachings    
   about the poor or any other subject. If anything, quite the contrary.    
   While certain clerics may prefer socialism, that is only the    
   sociopolitical view of individuals.
