Jesus said we should give and not turn our backs away from the poor etc..
but what bout beggars who chose that path? Or use every penny they get to buy alcohol?or beggars who are very capable of getting a little job? today as I was driving I stopped as the light went red... He came to my window and asked me for money.. But I could see he was a drunk more than anything else, I looked across and saw his wife sitting on the side of the road but I could see that she was also a drunk... I shook my head saying no and I drove off...as I drove off I remembered what Jesus said and I felt bad... In south Africa at nearly every main light there is a begger,i dont always give...
what are your thoughts on " capable beggers?i feel most are qualified to get a job but they choose the life of a begger?
thanks
