You're a fool.
Read the next verse: "For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling" (2 Thessalonians 3:11).
Instead of subscribing to the Right Wing Evangelical Hive Mind, you should actually read the book and think for yourself. :idunno:

Not on this matter he isn't. Hardly surprising that your response consists of nothing other but an insult either. It's pretty obvious that this verse applies to a specific community and not the populace in general. Furthermore I'd just luuuurve to hear how those opposed to welfare would ensure how all deserving cases would have their needs met without it?
So you're back in every sense of the word then.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire
"The National Federation of the Blind (NFB), the oldest and largest organization of blind people in the nation, announced today that for the first time a blind individual has driven a street vehicle in public without the assistance of a sighted person."

the cost of food and energy will be going up much faster than anything else
so
some form of assistance will be required
I like the earned income tax credit EIC since up to a certain point it does encourage them to work

So you're saying it isn't applicable?
You're a fool.
it's irrelevant that there was a particular group of people to which it referred, as it is something applicable to all situations wherein such people exist.
Am I wrong, or is he a fool?So you're back in every sense of the word then.
I'll make another thread on the subject in the religion forum. I think that the verse very seriously is misunderstood.
Misunderstood that it is applicable beyond the event that led Paul to write it?
