That passage is one of many that call believers to extend help to the poor. <br /><br />However, the Bible also speaks to idleness of the poor and their being a burden to others. <br /><br />These two series of verses are a capsule of the teachings of the Bible on this topic: <br /><br />■ 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12 ESV <br />Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate. For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. <br />■ Luke 21:1-4 ESV <br />Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” <br /><br />This reference, from the Faith Bible Baptist Church website, is a far more complete and eloquent dissertation on the topic than I can articulate:<br />http://www.fbbc.com/messages/kohl_political_science_welfare.htm <br /><br />In the present case, where people are illegally passing into our country, they are, first, breaking the law of our land by doing so. Once they get through, they are a drain on the average man who pays taxes. <br /><br />This is a shameful use of quite a significant portion of the wealth each of us who works has earned: <br />http://buckysride.blogspot.com/2014/04/new-ride.html<br /><br />This must be stopped before it is fatal to our freedom and prosperity. <br /><br />I again urge you to vote this fall to remove liberals from office, and elect people who will enforce the precious laws of our land. <br />Buckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008065046166806739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465878416372541218.post-3779776818126538902014-07-30T01:15:05.073-04:002014-07-30T01:15:05.073-04:00Deuteronomy 15:11 ESV / 61 helpful votes
