Neither Shall He Eat!
If a man doesn’t work, neither should he eat! We often use this thought, taken from II Thessalonians 3:10, to justify our refusal to provide benevolent help to certain ones who may be in need. Is this really the point of this verse? Let’s look at this verse in its context. “7 For yourselves know …
