All this "Jesus Asking" business is just plain tiresome.
Fact is, as Christians (not Americans) we are required to help those in need.
Secondly when we as Chirstians support policy that forces the poor into a kind of servitude to the state, we rebel against the Word of God!
help for the poor ought to be in the form of helping them get jobs so they can take care of themselves. And in the cases where they refuese to help themselves, help should be in the form of tuff love that forces them to take care of themsleves.
We will will always have the poor with us. (I have been poor myself on more than one occasion). We should treat them fairly and with respect. we should not build cheep houseing and give them handouts that force them into terrible situations and steal their one personal drive!
What we have done to the poor in America is make them dependant and rob them of their own free will and drive to succeed!
If there is anything that deserves the ire of God, it is this.
