(Apocrypha, Ecclesiasticus 12:5)
This passage reads:“Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for [else] thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him.” It would be advisable to read the entire chapter. It would also be advisable to check out the Book of Ecclesiasticus (or Sirach as it is sometimes called), for the author leaves his signature, and his message is directed toward Israelites. The word “ungodly” can only be referring to non-Adamites, for the other races have no true god as we have.

You might want to take the word of hundreds of black Nigerians and others to whom this ministry has sent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of free Bibles and tapes since its very inception ... ”
In a reply letter dated July 14, 2005 from Weiland to Tony Gonyer, Weiland stated in part:
“... It would be one thing, Tony, if I were neglecting the children and only ministering to non-Israelites, but you know that is not the case. If someone over in Africa wrote and requested a Bible from you, would you not send it to them? Probably not – but if you wouldn’t, why wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you like to have the rest of the world – that we will inevitably have dealings of some kind with – wouldn’t you like them living by laws of Yahweh? If not, why not? ...”
