Might be time to head back to bible school, son. Next time maybe don't try cherry-picking and altering quotes?


follow your own advice...

2 Thessalonians 3:10 NKJV

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.


ou thelo (greek) means more than "unwilling to". Thelo means wanting to or desire to and carries in it the meaning of ready and willing to. So, the focus of the command is against those who refuse to work rather than those who are unable to do so.

Bitch please, crack an Ancient Greek dictionary lately??

"Ou thelo" means simply “I will it not” or “I’d rather not” or “it is not my will”.

The verb thélo (as you call it, though spelled incorrectly, or '???e?' to those of us who are actually educated) is synonymous, when used in this context, with want, desire, will. There is no "interpretation" that it has any connotations beyond that.

This is warning and instruction about believers who are unruly and idle. If you go to verse 6 or 11 in the same chapter, you will clearly see that the author is using the greek adverb "ataktos", which essentially means being disorderly.

This is not a "command". This is a response specifically to the pattern of conduct of Paul and his associates.

Honestly does anyone on this board even read the bible?? This is basic stuff, folks. You would think conservatives would know the ideology they supposedly support.
