Why the Poor, are Poor
Biblically, there are three types of poor people in the world: the oppressed poor, the slothful poor, and the irresponsible poor. The oppressed poor are fatalities of the rich. Field hands, workers and laborers that feed the wheels of big industry. Scripture says, "But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?" - James 2:6.
The slothful poor are those who have not come to terms with the realities of life, but who mosey through life and eventually hit the poverty bottom. Scripture says, "Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread." - Proverbs 20:13. And the irresponsible poor are those who do not take life seriously. Again, the scripture states, "For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags." - Proverbs 23:21.
