Quote:The bible writers tell us to give money to the poor but nothing is said about giving jobs, training, education, and shared resources to the poor.
Jobs: Deuteronomy 24:14 'You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns.'
Training: Proverbs 22:6 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.'
Education: Proverbs 1:1-5 'To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth— Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.'
Resources to the poor: Luke 3:10-11 'And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.'
So, there's that.
