Child support question & Berg's answer

Posted by Reposter on November 13, 2005 at 16:24:23

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS!--NO.8 DFO 1566 7/83

60. QUESTION: MY MATE HAS TWO CHILDREN STILL IN THE SYSTEM, & HE HAS TO PAY $60 A WEEK FOR SUPPORT. I would like to know what Dad feels about paying support for system children.--Fay, USA.

ANSWER: IT DEPENDS ON THE CASE & THE CIRCUMSTANCES. If they were stolen from the Family by a backsliding mate, you've no further obligation before the Lord except in love & as an influence for good by your concern. But that's according to Mt.9:29. But personally I'd feel no responsibility for the support of a backslider or Caesar's kids! One way to be relieved is to flee!
