My friend said that it doesn’t matter what the beggar does with the money. He can buy food, buy a beer, or place a bet. What matters is that you gave him some money.
2 Thess 3:10-12 If anyone is not willing to work , let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work , but busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. ESV
Don’t knock Andy. He is allergic to “work” and needs more than the Dole and Flo to support his habits. Booze, women, gambling, pigeons. A legend in his own mind err time.
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be” … Oops! That was Polonius’ advice to Laertes in Hamlet, not a biblical quote! Still, I’d rather quote Shakespeare than Samuel.
It’s inconceivable that Andy is better at working the bible to his advantage than a pastor who’s professionally trained at a seminary where that’s all they teach.

Nicely played, Andy. But you need more to bribe the vicar into handing you some

If you actually got and kept a job you wouldn’t be so poor, Andy.

Notice how the vicar’s collar turns around whenever he does.

You were so close Andy, but you lost after asking the Vicar for money.

There are so many scriptures the vicar could’ve recited to Andy about drunkards….

Andy is smarter than you think: He proved the vicar is a fake Christian.

The vicar is quite willing to help the poor. He is not willing to fund the vices of a ne’er do well.

Nice try, Andy This is a good example of how people will use religion to get what they want, regardless of whether they actually deserve it.
