I don't see it that way. The parable of the virgins is not about people who haven't had sex. It may not be about food store per se either, but it is about being prepared. If a man of modest means lives wisely and is both serious and responsible of his primary role of provider, he should expect to use his stores to provide for those he has most direct stewardship over - his family. I don't believe the commandment to love your neighbor expects a father or mother to rob food from their own children to provide for someone who needed a new Lexus more than a grinder and a bucket of wheat. True, we are all children of God, but He has already told us our first responsibility it to our families.Jezebel wrote:This attitude lacks an understanding of what the gospel is all about.will wrote:If you fall into the category of being unprepared when you knew better, And expect me to feed you and not provide for my children because you were slothful in obeying a commandment. That is selfish.
As you said, He can make manna in the wilderness. However, I recall it came based on the righteousness of the people. For those foolish virgins, when they've humbled themselves God can and will bless them. I don't believe it will be by taking bread from people who were righteous and prepared as they were told to begin with.Why wouldn't he be interested in saving those who are foolish enough to live beyond their means?
