"if they do not work they shall not eat"
These words have been used by many a advocate of smaller govt, but what do they mean exactly in a Biblical or a moral context?
The early Christian church was certain that Christ would return immeadiately, and there were many who took advantage of the thought by not working, and taking advantage of there fellowship to not work. That of course does not mean that those who are actually are disabled should not work, Rather, it is more a case of the able bodied shirking any sort of labor and using Jesus's return as an excuse not to labor.

TLC,
Well, apparently the current crop of conservatives and libertarians mean that if you don't have two or three jobs, you don't eat.
I try not to decipher too much of the blather that is oozing out of talkholes nowadays, it's too tiresome really.
