\"1Scriptures on The Poor \/ Selfishness<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

5\/2009<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I get so upset when people say they won\u2019t help the poor, they refuse to give them any money or help them with groceries. People really need to stop and think about if it was them in need, they would want someone to help them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just this year 2015, I read a few articles about restaurants refusing to serve people whom help the poor and homeless\u2026 are you serious???? I quit going to those places and it is so appalling that businesses want to act this way\u2026. All of them that act this way needs to close themselves down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because,\u00a0GOD wants HIS<\/strong>\u00a0people to help and feed the poor and if you don\u2019t then those whom are afraid to let go of a few bucks, to feed someone who has no food should be so ashamed of themselves. This includes and not limited to those whom take from their parents, and the elderly. I get really angered about this because this is\u00a0WRONG<\/strong>, and God does not approve of this activity. Whether people realize it, this is a SIN.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible tells us, to love each other and give to each other not take from one another. God loves each and every person in this world, and it even angers Him for people to do the poor and the elderly this way and those which have parents still living and they take their money or their belongings and just do away with it all and not take care of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

These Verses I am going to list here, some I have written down since\u00a05<\/sup>\/<\/em>2009<\/sub>\u00a0and those with the actual verses are ones which I have just looked up to give you a more extensive list of what God says about the poor and being selfish!<\/span><\/p>\n
