It still sounds to me like someone else is paying off another person's foolishness. I understand the idea behind this. However, I still don't think it's a good idea. My step-son is several thousand dollars in debt and I wouldn't pay him out of it if I was a millionaire. He needs to learn that discipline for himself. Sounds to me like good intentions run awry.

Sounds to me like good intentions run awry.

Sounds to me like Christian charity in action. Sometimes when someone falls into a pit (or even jumps in) they cannot get out of it without a helping hand. Christians helping one another in this way is biblical and commendable.

I am glad God doesn't share your mentality that we should all get what we deserve. He offers grace and forgiveness, and that is what these precious Christians are doing for one another.

Sometimes people need a little help. It is not irresponsible to give it to them.

I am glad that when I dug my hole of drug addiction and alcoholism that God offered forgiveness and restoration rather than your "you made your bed, now sleep in it" attitude.
