One anedotal example does not a truism make.2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "if a man will not work, he shall not eat." Now if a person cannot work, of course we should take care of them. I'm talking about the ones that abuse the system. I've said on here before, I knew a girl years back she got disability because she was stupid. But she wasn't that stupid, because she collected disability, and was a stripper made great money.The bible also says you don't work, you don't eat.Is this going to be on Obama's "legacy" list?
No idiot, it will be the Republican/conservative's legacy....they hate blacks and latinos and want to do away with welfare.....you know, the "compassionate conservatives" - because they claim to follow Jesus, but don't really believe it when the Bible tells them to give to the poor.
Proverbs 19:17
17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed.
Conservatives think Jesus was talking about the rich, when he said this:
For if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use to give -- large or small -- will be used to measure what is given back to you." (TLB, Luke 6:38)
Where exactly does it say that those that can work but don't shouldn't eat? Please quote the scripture verse because I'm sure it says those that aren't willing to work. Most poor people that use welfare, would work if they could....and I guess you expect children to work in order to eat, too....how conservative of you.
