8But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1 Timothy 5:8 NASB

*****

“d1212: The condemnation of 1 Timothy 5:8 is that of a man who refuses to provide for his own, not someone who cannot”

mfm: That’s not what the Bible says. You’ve added “refuses”. It’s a sin to add to the Word of God.

I don't see a problem with daniel1212's understanding of the passage in question.

There are some who simply do not have the means to provide for their family. We see the poor in Scripture a great deal.

That should be obvious. See above post.
