"That we disagree radically about fundamental economic theory, about the causes of disparity is no surprise. That is the core political dispute in all Western democracies.

However, our radically different reading of the Gospels is another matter. About this there ought not to be such fundamental disagreement, but there is. 

No the Gospel does not address individuals, it is not merely a message of individual morality, leaving us no guidance in matters of social morality. Indeed the focus of the Gospels as a plan of action is the Kingdom, but please recall the Our Father.

May your kingdom come,
May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 

Parallelism is the basic element of Hebrew poetry, and the couplet that says the same thing in different words is simplest form of Hebrew parallelism. This is a couplet; the two lines mean the same thing.

The Kingdom is both here and later; we are invited to seek out God's will for society here and do it. Nothing could be clearer.
