Re: Would You Shoplift to Feed Your Children?
None of the above... I'd go apply for some Obama-aid!
Its hard to tell what a person would do in such a circumstance, until they are in it.

Yes, that would have to be the case. Under normal circumstances as such as we have today, most people can get food one way or another...

Re: Would You Shoplift to Feed Your Children?
Proverbs 30:8-9 "Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain."
If God answered my prayer I wouldn't but, if He didn't, I would. I would expect God wouldn't put me in that place as He has answered innumerable and awesome prayer requests.

Re: Would You Shoplift to Feed Your Children?
If I couldnt work, sell, or trade anything AT ALL to pay for it, rather than stealing it. And if options of hunting wild game...fishing...or cats, rats, bugs, or slugs, or ANY other option was not possible, of getting food for my children, then you're dang right I'd steal to feed my children, and wouldnt think twice about it. The only way I wouldnt, would be if the storeowner, or whoever it was that I was stealing from, was in the same situation absolutely as bad off as my children were...then I would reconsider.
But then, "Ive never seen His seed begging for bread"...
