[Julius Skrrvin]

Can't wait for @DEAD7 to get robbed

 

[Chris.B]

Deuteronomy 15:7-8 If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs.

Deuteronomy 15:11 There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land.

Psalm 35:10 "You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them."

Psalm 82:3-4 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

Psalm 102:17 He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea.

Psalm 107:9… for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

Proverbs 11:24-25 One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

Proverbs 14:20-21 The poor are shunned even by their neighbors, but the rich have many friends. He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy.

Proverbs 14:31 He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

Proverbs 19:17 He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.

Proverbs 22:9 A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.

Proverbs 28:27 He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.

Ezekiel 16:49 "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."

Matthew 25:34-40 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"

Luke 14:12-14 Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

Romans 12:13 Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Romans 15:1-2 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

1 Corinthians 10:24 Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

2 Corinthians 9:6-13 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.. .As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." Now he who supplies seed to the shower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

1 John 3:17-18 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Severely taken out of context, you would have failed my theology class.

Severely taken out of context, you would have failed my theology class.

Those are direct quotes. Why don't you explain the proper context? Or maybe provide a single verse where Jesus says that "bums should be left to rot?"

Taking a food stamp cut but gaining healthcare...


"disdain for poor people" Im beginning to see only liberals can make blanket statements on HL without any evidence and not be called out on it fair enough.

But for the record, it has nothing to do with caring for the poor, which is a great thing. Its about the federal govt. caring for the poor. This reoccurring idea that if you don't want govt. doing it, you don't want it done at all has to go away.

 

[MidwestD]

i would SOOOOOOOOOOO much rather feed these people than continue to fund our disgusting military complex

this government...idk brehs? what needs to happen?

we got money for war but cant feed the poor

What I'm curious about is where is the savings from pulling out of Iraq? Where's the money going now that we're not spending billions fighting in Iraq.

You fail at being a human being and are acting COMPLETELY contrary to Scripture.

You are a hypocrite and the worst example of Christianity I have ever had the displeasure to interact with.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 (CEB)
“If anyone doesn’t want to work, they shouldn’t eat.”

All the people on food stamps should watch the video below:



There's plenty of land in this country

 

[Yapdatfool]

My Bible makes it clear bums should be left to rot in these mean streets, I'm only responsible for the sick and elderly.

SNAP, the largest U.S. anti-hunger program, is designed to help poor people - most of them children, disabled or elderly - buy food.

 

[Chris.B]

if that was what the food stamps actually did I would have no obligations.....but I live in the real world I see people abusing the system with no fukks given.

This plan is not feasable due to goverment regulations. It is illegal to grow food and sell it directly to the community without jumping through goverment regulations and paying taxes. That drives the price of the food up, so now it has to be sold to high end restaurants willing to pay a premium for locally grown produce.

The only reason food stamps are so prevelant is because the goverment is standing in front of the food in the first place.

 

[shhh-kull & bones]

you probably dont think too highly of folks on food stamps, but if it wasnt for foodstamps your ass would be getting robbed everyday so dont be condescending buddy
