I know a girl that gets food stamps and a check every month from the government because she decided to have two children out of wedlock. She eats steak and shrimp a couple times a week and she is saving up for a trip to Disney World. The Bible said that if you don't work, you don't eat. Amen.

And Jesus said, one time, you without guilt shall cast the first stone.
It is not important what the lady does. I've learned that. My father goes to the park sometimes and puts some change in his pockets to be able to give it to someone who asks him. His friends very often say, you're giving the people money and they're going to get alcohol with it. His answer is always the same, I am not the one to judge. I fulfilled my obligation, I was asked to help my fellow man. I did what I could. Whatever they do with the money, after the point where money changes hands, it is none of my business. If on 100 men, one buys food with the money he recieved from me, I am grateful to the Almighty, I was able to help somebody and that is a priviledge.

You must be referring to the Old Testament, which seems to have had a more consistent message. For their time, I like the Pharisees.

Lenin said that, not Jesus.

ACTUALLY, the bible does NOT say that. What The Apostle Paul ACTUALLY said was, if a MAN is not willing to work, you SHOULD not FEED him. That is a very different statement from what you are saying that he said. But for children this is not the case. They are to be taken care of by their parents as well as all the adults and elders in their community.
