Men who won't work (Torah, woman, Jesus, Israel)

[californiawomann5]

Can anyone give me biblical examples of any Godly (able bodied) Man who only accepts charity/donations as a way of life?

Or do they all work for a living (self support), or try to?

Unless truly disabled, none.

You can show this answer to the fellow in question and tell him I work for Social Services.

If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. The Greek phrase οὐ θέλει ἐργάζεσθαι means is "not willing to work."

Newton’s first law of motion basically states that an object in motion tends to remain in motion.
And an object at rest tends to remain at rest. Let us not waste time and energy, some are lazy!

Yet, others merely work smarter, while remaining at rest.

I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh, you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)

What ? Oh you said men who won't work.

I could understand a man crippled emotionally or mentally, who may be unable to work despite being physically able.

You don't work you don't eat is not specific to men.

In 2 Thessalonians 3: 10-12 ..``For even when we were with you , this we commanded you that if any would not work, neither should they eat.....for we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly working not at all but are busybodies...Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus , that quietness they work, and eat their own bread ``.......... Still it is the will of God that people are never starved , and that if people have wealth to feed poor people than they must do this , as if people are left to starve by wealthy people this will blaspheme God........ See where the economies are more for the investor pockets are filled today , and will always try to undermine all workers and their money, as outsourcing to poor countries is the plan of the leader of the nations today even in America the poor will grow as the blind investors and leader will not see or ignore truth of the poverty

I never did understand that song. I assume it's about sex, drugs and rock n roll in Australia?

Yitzchok (Abraham's son). He spent his entire life in the land of Israel, learning Torah in his father's tent.
