Worse, some self-described conservatives and Republicans, including President George Bush and presidential candidate John McCain, still believe in using taxpayer money to help the poor. They even endorse such measures!World Net DailyÉæêÎA¹Í{ÉæénÒEnÒE��SlEÇÌ~ðFßÄ��È��»¤Å éB
Apparently, these people never read Jesus Christ's comment in John 12:8 that "the poor will always be with you." ... God presents us with three general ways in the Bible to take care of the poor and needy: 1) through the family, 2) through the church, and 3) through individual charity. The applicable passages for these three ways are Deut. 14:28, 29, Numbers 18:24, Matthew 6:1-4 and 1 Timothy 5:3-16.
Now, the first two ways are pretty clear. People's first obligation is to the needy, poor, widowed and orphaned in their own families. Then, they have an obligation to the needy, poor, widowed and orphaned in their local church organization.
Despite what Barack Obama, John McCain or George Bush and their supporters think, in none of the Bible passages just cited does God cite the government as the means by which the poor, needy, widowed and orphaned are housed, clothed and fed!

At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year, and shall deposit it in your town. The Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and the alien, the orphan and the widow who are in your town, shall come and eat and be satisfied, in order that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Thus, a simple, straightforward reading of the Bible, God's Word, including the words of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, clearly shows that the American government's welfare state is unbiblical, if not immoral. In other words, Christians and their church leaders have an absolute duty to verbally rebuke, discipline or shun any Christian who advocates such a government welfare system.World Net DailyÉæêÎALXg³Í{Éæéð_Éηé½tÆÝÈ·@³çµï¿½ï¿½B

We must stop the ungodly, immoral stealing from American citizens by the welfare state! We must establish a proper and godly system of family, church and private charity. All Americans should follow God's clear guidance in this matter; He will reward them mightily for their obedience. May God have mercy on those evildoers who don't obey these holy commands!
