I think we should put something into perspective. Paul wrote,
I Timothy 5:8
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."
It is most commonly believed that Paul is referring specifically to men (not women, widows, or single mothers) who were exploiting the church’s charity toward the poor. Paul doesn’t forbid them from customarily gleaning the cornfields…Paul forbids that they receive assistance from the church. I feel we could extrapolate this into modern society by refusing to provide assistance to able bodied males.
There is another interpretation that I’ve studied, but unsure of. I Timothy is a Pastoral Epistle. Some have proposed that Paul admonished Timothy regarding lazy preachers who would not work with their own hands but rather lived off the church’s offerings like a sanctified welfare program.
