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.

This effects both Blacks and Whites alike.

The Bible teaches you to accept your poverty, and you do. If you want to come out of poverty, become a Buddhist.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 1:20PM

In most cases of poverty, happens when people do not take life seriously.

Steve Williams Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 3:07PM

I don't think so Ron. Poverty breeds poverty is why most of the poor are poor.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 3:46PM

Not if you get up off your ass and use your God given gifts and talents. Just think about it, you had to work on your dreams because you first had to conceive it, so that you can achieve it.

That is how that works Steve, you have to get up off your ass and STOP BULL💩ING.

Steve Williams Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 6:18PM

That's not all of it Ron. I had a friend, Rickie, who by the age of 45 had lost all his teeth but 1. For people in poverty dental care is commonly neglected. Nobody was going to hire snaggle-tooth Rickie, trust me.

Steve Williams Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 6:20PM

You don't know what it's like for people living in the hood, you've admitted as much. But I do.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 8:41PM


Why do you LIE like that Steve, when you don't have too, WHY?

I grew up in the Ghetto, about three miles away from the Slums on this city's South Side and having teeth would not make any difference.

My Grandfather did not have any teeth in my youth but he was able to work on his job until he retired from his job at 65 years old, with 30 years of service, now that man said this, over and over again:

"If you love the work that you do, you will never work a day in your LIFE. Then he went on to say: I don't care if you are shoveling 💩 for a living, if you love it, you will never work a day in your LIFE because you go to work to have fun.

Steve, you have to get up off your ass and STOP BULL💩ING, if you are seeking good employment with good benefits these days. So have some fun, I did and it worked for me and now with the good Lords blessings, I still can have some fun at life, as a Happy and Healthy Senior Citizen and Living Happy, it worked for me, Thank You Lord.

That's the thing about lies Ron, you have to remember that you told them and what they were. We had this conversation before and what you told me then is not what you are telling me now.

Steve Williams Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 9:21PM

Maybe you just post so much crap you can't remember the important stuff?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 9:58PM

Now you have came from talking about your friend Rickie, being snaggle-tooth, Now that you see that I am not guying that BULL💩, now WTF are you talking about now?

You must be smocking that BULL💩 again!!!!

Steve Williams Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 11:14PM

I don't smoke anymore Ron. Now what is your excuse for your apparent memory loss? You told me you didn't know anything about life on the street.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, February 16th 2019 at 11:44PM

That is BULL💩 Steve!!! I never told you that I did not know my people. Why must you LIE LIKE THIS STEVE?

Fear Not, I am not hear to harm you but to understand you.

Steve Williams Sunday, February 17th 2019 at 2:02AM

One thing is for sure Ron, and I'm SURE this was your plan, finding that conversation would be like finding a needle in a truckload of horse manure.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, February 17th 2019 at 5:21PM

So, you want the people on Black In America to believe that I planed something, I said in the past, to what you thought up, just now but you can't prove your claimed that I said it!

What kind of two way thinking is that Steve?

Steve Williams Sunday, February 17th 2019 at 10:22PM

I'm not concerned with what anyone but you thinks Ron. I trust my memory over yours.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, February 17th 2019 at 10:44PM

Proof it!!!

Steve Williams Sunday, February 17th 2019 at 11:48PM

It's somewhere in the "has logged 168698 blog subscribers!" It would take me forever Ron. If I find it I shall return.

This is between you and me Ron, and no one else.

Steve Williams Monday, February 18th 2019 at 3:02PM

Back to the point of this article. The Bible says,

Listen, my beloved brothers. Did not God choose those who are poor from the world’s standpoint to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom, which he promised to those who love him?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, February 18th 2019 at 6:27PM

What do you mean by this Steve?

Steve Williams Monday, February 18th 2019 at 7:39PM

I'm talking about what James said about the poor. The verse I posted (James 2:5) is the one right before the one you posted, James2:6. CR Minister is a false preacher who abuses James by using it to rail against the rich, when James's real inten was to encourage and CORRECT the believers.

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.

Let us take a look at James 2:6 for a moment.

At seeing now rich men used them so ill, the apostle mentions this as an argument to dissuade them from respect of persons; seeing they had but little reason to show so much regard unto them, who had treated them in so evil a manner: this is not to be understood of all rich men; nor is the apostle's design to destroy that natural and civil order there is among men, by reason of their different stations, offices, and circumstances; it being highly proper that honour should he given to whom honour is due, but not to the dishonour of another.

I like to believe at in this reference describes "THE WORKING POOR," that the rich have exploit in this country, from the days of slavery, to this present time.

Now if you want to talk about CR Minister being a false preacher, you go and tell Brother CR Minister blog's and tell him that to his face, this is not the venue, do you understand what I said to you Steve?

Now be GONE...


Steve Williams Tuesday, February 19th 2019 at 10:44AM

"this is not to be understood of all rich men; nor is the apostle's design to destroy that natural and civil order there is among men, by reason of their different stations, offices, and circumstances;"

Is that what YOU believe Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, February 19th 2019 at 11:46AM

YES, That is my story and I stand by these words 120%. Now, run and go tell THAT!!!

Steve Williams Tuesday, February 19th 2019 at 1:05PM

I assume you have the secret key that lets you know which rich are which?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, February 19th 2019 at 5:09PM

LOL...….. That was funny ………..LOL!!!
