I've known someone for several years at a couple of Christian forums. This person always thinks others should donate money to him. He has given sad stories for years and posts them at Christian forums regularly.
I talked with this person last year about getting a job to help them through hard times. But this person told me that they will not get a job.
I know what the Bible says about someone who will not provide for his own family.
1 Timothy 5:8
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
I understand the above doesn't apply to disabled or ill people. But the person I talked to about finding a job was in good health at the time of the conversation. Others tried to reason with him about this as well.
Just wanting to express this as I can't understand this person's refusal to work....to support his family.
