john smith was trying to say that some people weren't listening to him so he said people that don't work don't eat
This phrase implies that one must work in order to provide for themselves and be able to eat. It emphasizes the importance of working and earning a living in order to sustain oneself and meet basic needs like food.
The Old Testament and JudaismThe Old Testament of the Christian bible and the Jewish Torah have the following to say on the subject of avoiding shellfish:Deuteronomy 14:9-10 says:These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.Leviticus 11:9-12 says:These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.ChristianityAmong Christians there some disagreement as to whether this decree still applies. Some denominations feel that Jesus did away with the laws of the Old Testament while others feel that he did not.
Actually Paul stated this in his letter to the Thessalonians in 2 Th. 3:10. The reference in Genesis is found in Gen 3:19 where man would earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, or working for it.
No, he would have lived for ever:-Gen 3:17-19 MKJV And to Adam He said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it! The ground is cursed for your sake. In pain shall you eat of it all the days of your life. [v.18] It shall also bring forth thorns and thistles to you, and you shall eat the herb of the field. [v. 19] In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.[ie die]Gen 5:5 MKJV And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years. And he died.1Co 15:21-26 MKJV For since death is through man[ie Adam], the resurrection of the dead also is through a Man [ie Christ]. [v. 22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive. [v. 23] But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruit, and afterward they who are Christ's at His coming; [v. 24] then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power. [v. 25] for it is right for Him to reign until He has put all the enemies under His feet. [v. 26] The last enemy made to cease is death.However, because Adam sinned, he brought sin into the world. Think of 'sin' as a gene in a person's DNA that is automatically passed on to all his descendants. The only way the penalty of sin can be removed is by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and then you will live for ever.
1 Corinthians 11:22, 34 - What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you. 34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come. [NKJV] Jesus is not the speaker; these are the words of the Apostle Paul. It was necessary for him to correct the Corinthians over their improper attitude and approach to the Lord's Supper. They were treating it like a common meal instead of the solemn remembrance it is intended to be. Paul explains this to them in verses 23-33.
