Based on what? Last time I checked, a certain verse in Scripture stated that "if any would not work, neither should he eat".
so you're another Christian who advocates not helping the poor or hungry.
Didn't Jesus say something about selling all your posessions and giving to the poor. Wasn't he pretty much all about helping the least among us. Don't churches all over the country feed the poor and homeless. Don't christians travel all over the planet pretty much doing the same thing?
Ya think Jesus would really be against Food Stamps (yeah 333 - I know it's abused just like pretty much everything else)
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."It's pretty obvious that Jesus wouldn't give a shit about feeding the poor or taking care of the sick either:
Matthew 25:31-46 (King James Version)
31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
