Panhandlers in Detroit could face jail time

[Danny]

When Jesus was preaching through the Galilee, He told the people to give alms to the poor. Most of the people give. Then this poor woman in rags give her last coin to the offering basket. Jesus says, "She has giving more than all of you."


People need help, even that they don't need help. Give them
food, clothes, shelter, job and medical, and mind spiritual reprograming to get their lives back on track. Putting a cap on the needy is not going to make them go away. Give them hope and begging will stop.

Jesus sez... "It's is more blessed to give them to recieve."

God also ordered thousands of people to be killed. What's the point?

God is merciful. If you're talking about God of the Holy Bible, God always sends a prophet to warn people to change their bad morals and wickedness before ordering them to be killed or a town destroyed. If they change their bad ways and repent from the warning, they will be saved; otherwise, they will be destroyed. See Jonah 3:4 of the Old Testament or google how the Prophet Jonah warned Nineveh and how a town repented and changed from their bad morals and God was merciful.

Unless you're talking about false prophets, false judges, and false Kings, which doesn't count.

But, I think the previous poster was talking about the teachings of Jesus, not the words of God. Who did Jesus order to be killed?

Who did Jesus order to be killed?

No one period! because he wants mankind to be saved and redeemed from the sins so they have enter the Kingdom of God and keep their souls out of Gates of Hell!

[Danny]

Yes, God did ordered thousands of people killed for their disobediance against him for a purpose of their sins!

God is still love, joy, peace, salvation, grace and a forgiver. But he's also a judge, jealous god [[only against those who worships idols.)

The main point is give or be judged.

If Jesus returned and preached through Detroit he might tell the people to give to the Panhandles so they could pay their fines;and give caps to the other needy. We would then all be walking round downtown in caps. The first cap to be given out should definitely go to the lady that gave her last coin. I like the updating of the needs of the modern downtrodden to include "job and medical"; that's a really nice touch that didn't enter into the picture in biblical times.
Of course we also know now that recieving four years of "Hope" is no blessing either.
