Christians are supposed to do unto others as themselves. And love and forgive. I also remember the parable of the talents.
I agree, but the question is are you a Christian? There is nothing wrong or illegal with being rich or successful, but not to Share that with the needy is an example of being less than a believer in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Not all poor are lazy. Charity is a Christian way of living. YOU deciding or judging who should be given charity is NOT CHRISTIAN.
