Of course, you know this isn't true (and I suspect he might as well), but it's another road-block. There are, in fact, specific programs that will assist people in his situation with getting trained for jobs. However, if you tell him that, it'll only bring another response as to why that won't...

Thank you for your input. As a Lutheran, the word of God is central to my faith, and is a guide to living a righteous life. Sometimes I take it as a 'given' that others will understand that, but I see I needed to clarify. However, we are also meant to live in community. I don't accept that the...
