You are welcome to your interpretation of the NT. We could spend some time here throwing scripture back and forth but that is not the point. Your assertion that yours is the only interpretation is simply wrong. There are several long running theological traditions that argue the social justice theme.

You are now asserting yours is the better interpretation. That now becomes a theological argument. One of several and not the major one in both Catholicism and Protestantism.

One more thing. All readings of scripture are interpretations of scripture. The very text you read is an interpretation because you are reading a translation. So it's always an argument about the viability of interpretations.
