How did we get from the health care bill in taking care of everybody's needs to attacking the homeless? They are polar opposites.

The deception alone is enough to put fear in my heart much less the reality of the situation.

In God's eyes it's the reverse, it is a crime not to feed the homeless, who
are no doubt hungry. As Christians it seems we will have to make choices when it comes to the homeless; do we listen to God's word, or do we listen and obey man's word/law in the cities...The choice is ours!

I say feed the hungry, especially, those, who never chose their lifestyle but for whatever reason, landed on the streets, mental illness, job loss, loss of family, abandonment of young and old, alcoholism, drugs, etc. Only ones that should be exempt are those who do not want to work for a living, and choose to beg instead, because they are lazy. I can always tell the real thing, and those who are trying to pull a fraud. Even feed them, buy the food, and give it to them instead of money if you're not sure.

God asked, “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood” (Isaiah 58:7)? We also need to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy” (Prov 31:8-9). In fact, “The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern” (Prov 29:7).

Jesus Warns of Those Who Ignore the Poor
Jesus gave a startling wake up call to all who would profess their belief in Him in. When Jesus comes to the earth and judges between the sheep and the goats, “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least among you, you did not do for me‘“ (Matthew 25:41-45).
