As a Christian I'm sorry to all those going hungry starting Nov 1st.

Matthew 25:35-36
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me
It is our Christian duty to protect the poor and hungry. I would have rather America go broke helping Americans than giving 40 billion to Argentina.
There are 42 million Americans on Snap. I'm sorry.
Here is a GROK breakdown of what is going on.
The "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act of 2025
This legislation, signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025, made significant cuts and changes to the SNAP program.
The House of Representatives passed the bill with only Republicans voting in support, on a vote of 217–215. The entire Democratic caucus voted against it, along with a number of Republicans.
Democrats opposed the bill because it offset massive tax cuts by slashing funding for social programs, including an estimated $186 billion from SNAP.
Three Republican senators—Susan Collins (ME), Thom Tillis (NC), and Rand Paul (KY)—broke ranks and voted against the bill in the Senate.
Legislation related to the 2025 government shutdown
During the ongoing government shutdown in October 2025, votes have been cast on a series of stopgap spending bills.
The House of Representatives passed a "clean" bill to fund the government through November 21, but it was blocked multiple times by Senate Democrats. All Democrats who voted were against it, as were a few Republicans.
Democrats blocked the House bill to protest the Trump administration's refusal to release contingency funds for SNAP during the shutdown.
Separately, some Republicans have voted against measures that would have continued funding for some federal programs and workers during the shutdown.
The 2013 House farm bill
A version of the farm bill passed by the House of Representatives in 2013 included approximately $740 billion in cuts to food stamps.
All 196 Democrats present voted to oppose the measure.
Twelve Republicans also voted against the bill.

So by ‘you’, Jesus meant the government?

40 million people are on SNAP. We don't have that many elderly and disabled who may actually need it.
Laziness is contrary to Christian living
2 Thessalonians 3:10–12 — “For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: ‘The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.’ … Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.”
1 Timothy 5:8 — “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

TLDR
This isn't a Christian theocracy. You're more than welcome to feed all the hungry people out of your own pocket but keep your charitable hand out of MY pocket.

It's not the job of the government to feed people. If anything you should be sorry that the government created a mass of people who are incapable of feeding themselves

YOU have a Christian moral imperative to feed the hungry- there is not a State imperative .There is nothing stopping you . Update us on your efforts now that we have had your moral preening.

No one is standing in your way. Christians are individuals not governments.

So which is it (and I'm not saying you're wrong -- I agree all able-bodied people must work and support themselves), do you help the poor or do you tell them to get their asses to work?
How do we determine who is able-bodied and who is not? A lot of people have gotten to be so mental that they may be physically fit and healthy but cannot deal with human interactions through no fault of their own at that point (though yeah a lot of them took a lot of drugs to get themselves there).
Do we abandon people who have become drug-addicted and let them die in the streets? A lot of things to think about on a Sunday morning when I have it so good.

Just one you can use for your next post to your home congregation:
II Thessalonians 3:7-10 NKJV
[7] For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; [8] nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, [9] not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us. [10] For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

100% agree but why do most Christians not do any of this individually?
I agree the government should not be in the business of doing it but if not enough people individually help what do you say to that? This is not any of my concern?
Many things to consider. I don't judge anyone. I know we all do the best we can at any given time.

I’m not. Get a job. That’s the thing about dependence and the reason it does not work.

Glad we all get to pick and choose our chirstianity instead of actually sticking to following christ and loving one another

Does that include able bodied people who choose not to work and live off the system?
Does this include the ones who sell there EBT for .50 on the dollar for cash to buy drugs and Jordans?
I dont feel the need to help any of the ones mentioned above, not even their kids

I hire recovering addicts often. Do you know the actual percentage of addicts who ever fully recover? It's very low. Sad to say, but the majority will never be a functioning part of society.
That being said, there are not only a ton of Federal dollars wasted on them, but there are a ton of Christian/church funded programs as well for them.
