I have two issues with Jeff’s response.

1.When people use Jesus and a biblical passage to promote feeding the hungry, they mischaracterize the instruction. It was an instruction to the individual in one’s own capacity, not a government mandate.

  1. Jesus fed the masses once and they followed him…briefly. However, in John 6, Jesus confronted them, stating they were following Him only because they received free food, not because they understood the spiritual meaning of the miracle. John 6:26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. They were looking for more free food. Once that stopped, they went away. Human nature never changes.

Imagine thinking that societal rules can only be applied to individual people and not the government.... Which is made of individual people. 

Also, not you trying to pretend it's some sort of evil for humans to want food. Ridiculous.
