Perhaps sooner than we think.

Or later than we think. That's the whole point of Matthew 24:36-44.

I know

Re: It's not me torturing you, it's my inability to make a valid argument

I know

Is that "I know" sooner than we think or "I know" later than we think.

There is a 3rd alternative.

I know what your trying to tell me but I cant work right now due to circumstances I need food stamps I was only asking for prayer request that's all

Get off the computer and get a job, you lazy bum! 2 Thessalonians 3:10 - "if any would not work, neither should he eat." Food stamps are blasphemous and should be banned.

That's very disgusting you would say that. Do you know how many Christian's and innocent children that are on food stamps? Food stamps should not be repealed and if it ever does half of the population in America will loose that access. Dont use that scripture to cite your opinion either. In fact Proverbs 14:21 says Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.


The people who are trying to cut food stamps are disgusting people and very ungodly like

I see you missed the 2 Thessalonians 3:6-10 so helpfully posted by Sister Mitza.

Will changing the selection to verses 10-12 help? I will even color-code the most relevant bits:

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

I'm asking for a prayer request here since I cant post it in the prayer requests. Due to the government shutdown my food stamps will be cut. Please pray that this doesnt happen :/ I'm kind of nervous

You mentioned you were enrolled in ballet classes. These are not free, so if you are paying for ballet classes and getting food stamps, that means you are cheating the system.

Plus, everyone knows that ballerinas don't eat.

Food stamps are biblical as this verse supports them
Proverbs 31:8-9 (NIV)

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

Sister Basilissa posted three verses that oppose food stamps. You posted only two verses in favor of food stamps. If that's all you've got, then that proves Jesus does not support food stamps.


You have also failed to explain the fact that you are somehow managing to take expensive ballet classes (a luxury) despite also being reduced to begging our government for food money. This would constitute welfare fraud, a crime which could mean monetary fines or even jail time, in addition to a one-way ticket to Hell as a violation of Exodus 20:15.

They're not taking any of your money away from you. They just don't want to give you any of theirs (or their tax dollars).

I already explained that my family is helping to pay for my classes since I dont have enough money to pay for them myself. I cant afford them myself That's not fraud
