Note to the ever-beautiful bybee: Go for it!
On another note: May I "rest my case" after I've had some fun with it? :jolly:
To deny that soup kitchens help the least of our society is heartless, cold, callous, and beyond mean-spirited.
Only if you are of the same mentality that giving drug addicts clean needles for their habit "helps" them.
Sure, they are less likely to get disease, but does it really "help" them in the long run?
Well, no, vc. Needles facilitate an ill. Food doesn't. It's an absolute good. Now a man who is full can look for work or the next meal, but it's a far different animal at the root.

Well TH has already addressed this but if I can add....
How does giving people even temporary nourishment not amount to help? Sure, it's short term but food is a universal requirement and in itself is addressing a basic need for the time. How does depriving people of this amount to any good in either the short or long term?
It isn't about the temporary that I'm concerned with. It's about the long-term dependency. I know...for some it doesn't turn out that way, but I experienced so many of the latter when I voluntered that it gave me a rather sour stomach towards the whole idea.
I am not anti-help for members of our society that are in need, I just think that soup kitchens are the wrong answer.
You are a false accuser. I hope you are prepared for 2 Corinthians 6:2-3 KJV
I do not fear judgment.
And you are floundering around trying to justify your pride.
Is this supposed to be relevant to something?
:darwinsm: You have no respect for it either.
So what's the right answer? You can't beat something with nothing.

There's many reasons why people end up in such a predicament and they're certainly not all "self inflicted". It seems easier to sit in judgement of those less fortunate though doesn't it?
Pride in what?
Did you read it?
Can you support this accusation? Can you give a reason I should fear His judgment?
Pride in self-righteousness.
K:Yes. You?
Yes. You are oblivious to the consequences of your own actions.
Proverbs 16:18-19 (KJV)
What self-righteousness?Pride in self-righteousness.
:doh:
What consequences?
I judge by His standards, and I've been judged by those standards. Want to know the result? I was found guilty. But Jesus took my place, and so I lean on Him, because I'm useless when it comes to righteousness.
The hypocrisy that others can be judged by you while you remain blameless.
Thought so.
Exactly my point.
So you want it both ways. Not surprising.
So more false accusations...
I posted the verse. Asking me if I read it is a stupid question.
Do you even remember what your point was?
You can't even come up with a single consequence that I'm supposedly going to face. Shut up.
What I want is irrelevant. What He did for me is all that matters.
He did it for you too, but you don't seem to want to believe that.
Poor little victim.
You asked the stupid question first. I said "yes." You avoided answering.
Sure do. Matthew 7:1-2 (KJV)
You ignored them.
A flash of mature brilliance. :jolly:
Piety visits the hypocrite.
