[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 73008579, member: 326155"] I read it before making my response. Again: Who, in fact, did Paul actually collect money for? It was, specifically, for the congregation in Jerusalem. Who did the church in Jerusalem, in fact, deliver money to? It was to those members who needed it. Does this mean that Paul never gave a handout to someone on the street? Certainly not. But it does indicate that neither Paul nor the Church in general set up any programs to assuage poverty in general in the Roman empire. Their only systematic effort for the poor mentioned in scripture was to the poor in the Body of Christ. [/QUOTE]
