yeah ,i dont think any one has disputed tht they should be cared for .. most here have agreed ..i think.
but we are looking at other aspects ..i mean one doesn't end up with 15 children ,like oops how did that happen . it states the first 10 are to one father .. hes in prison . so .. i dont mean to sound harsh but a lot of the problems lays there with him .. and two .. God is able to provide .. and does so through us . welfare systems are fantastic in any nations that has them .but the worlds welfare system leaves out the part about .. if a man does not work he shall not eat ... then again the world system has set things up so a man cant have a few acres of land to grow his own crops and keep a goat or two ...
we need an overhaul.. oh wait .. we are getting one ..JESUS is returning
in the mean time .. yeah , lets just love people regardless of all their errors and do what we can to help in our own communities
do you think our loving and merciful God meant literally if you do not work you shall not eat? Jesus told Peter feed my sheep. He didn't say if they work. Jesus fed the crowds 3 times, they did not work, they listen to him working. So was Jesus not following The Father? We know he always does. So maybe he did not mean it the way you use it. Take the old they do not work so they shall not eat? Take children again they do not work so should not eat? I am in training for ministry should I not eat? what about all students, we work we learn. But we don't go out and work in the fields. and how many people work in the fields today which is what work was back then? You literally worked your field to feed your family. If i do the Lords work it is not me doing it but him, shall I not eat?
The saying speaks of the curse of Adam he would work the field to eat. So are woman included in this too as it was for man.
If we are free in Christ and redeemed does this not mean we are not under plenty of the curses. The earth yes but us?
How many people sweat to eat. Movie stars make billions, they do not sweat, they love there job. They have talent, but who you think works harder the man working the field or an actor? so what do we consider work, it is subjective.
did he mean not to be lazy? Solomon said if you are lazy you will be poor. Maybe what God meant was to tell us to work hard so we have that blessing and that if we are lazy we will not have that blessing but be poor. But some people like me worked hard in youth. i mean landscaping, painting houses. Un loading tracker trailers full of 100 pound boxes of hams with one other person with not food in my belly. i was homeless the time i had that job. Yet i am not rich money wise, but I am the riches man alive because of what i have with God, he gave me the greatest blessing Himself. He gave me a great wife with a heart that is pure, and great kids who are a joy, and the most loving faithful dog I could ever ask for. I have my a great relationship with my dad after fighting most our life. which brings me to my point things i am blessed with are not things at all, but people. Is a manor woman not worth more than money. Is a man or woman not worth more than food. What price would you but on a man or woman because God put The Life of His Son, paid in blood.
So if God puts such a high price on people shouldn't we too. Money does not matter, maybe because i don't have it, clothing, things, even food, nothing of this world matters, only the spirit of a man and woman.
This world is trying to save the earth. God will not let it be destroyed, as if man had the power to save anything anyways, could he save him self? We have deits and sun screen and all these distractions we think will keep us alive. God has set the date for each of us when we will die, and that is when it will happen. So why get caught up in the world, Just Love, who, people, and take care of the animals, and the earth. But lets not for get the reason for this world, people, their souls coming to God. Love God and love each other. and that says it all. It is about God and people. That is what matters.
