Do any of you know what the Bible says about men who don't look after their kids/family?

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

I came across this recently, quite interesting.

Timothy 1, Chapter 5 Verse 8:

But if any provide not for his own,and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

:ohhh:

Damn, I knew it was bad to be a deadbeat but I didn't know it was that bad.

define "house"

surely single fathers can't be as wicked and morally apprehensible as single mothers, right @Emperor_ReinScarf ???

I haven't really seen anyone on here defending dead beat dads. They get called out for the loser behavior they exhibit. Men need to take care of their kids.

I agree with ya'll that people pick and choose things out of the Bible to advance their point but don't act like yall dont pick and choose certain things out of other books, speeches, etc that advance your own beliefs :ufdup:
