rdp,
You made the point that there weren't any Christians who were "beggars" based on Psalms, I assume to illustrate that the poor man in James wasn't a Christian.
However, Romans uses the same word for "poor" to describe saints. Obviously there WERE poor saints, and the same word that you ascribed as "beggar" was used to describe them.
So which is it? Were there poor (beggars) people in the NT church or not?
