When I was a child, a fellow church member said, in my hearing, that beggars were not believers because Scripture said that believers would never beg bread. I believe, in hindsight, that he was referring to Psalm 37 - "nor have I seen the righteous begging bread".
That remark, directed to someone who was asking for advice about interacting with mendicants who asked for help, has always stuck with me. Has anyone else heard this line of reasoning, and is that a sound Biblical warrant for such a blanket statement about panhandlers and vagrants?
