    The Didoche, a survival manual for christian communities during the roman persecution era, teaches that any stranger that arrives at your door should be fed and clothed for 3 days, after which point they need to make their own way in the community or move on.

    Giving strangers the benefit of the doubt or taking care of those with legitimate disabilities =/= taking care of junkies or lowlifes for the duration of their lifespan .

      If only low lifes or junkies were given the support they needed to not be low lifes or junkies.

      Not everyone has your best interest at heart, certainly, but all people have value and not many would actively choose addiction

      So your saying some random guide made after Jesus supersedes his teachings? Sounds about Christian to me.
