Hey everyone!
Do you think if I gave heaps of my money to the christian church god might like me better?
What a fabulous idea! :love: |
You will certainly reap more financially, yes.
It's the principle of sowing and reaping. Spiritually, God will cause the increase. Try it. And, the wonderful thing is, you don't even have to be a Christian to apply that principle. haaa Nos tithing = Nos having more than he's ever had |
..How Rediculously Stupid Of You To Ask That Question..
Although I'm Sure You Will Get Plenty Of Responces -Hm- Answer : I Believe Not! |

Wow.. How dumb are you for taking this seriously.... |
the courts forced me to pay a donation to a non profit organisation of my choice. Theres a church 50 metres from me, so i payed a 200 doller donation to it.
Im still broke. |

Yeah but he blesses those who give willing remember the rich who gave heaps of there money too the church too "show off" and then the lady who gave all she had and had faith was truelly blessed...so just beacuse he does it doesn't mean that he will |
Theres a few contradicting takes on this given in the bible..
1. What Q has been saying, give a % of your income to the church and you'll be blessed. 2. Give all you have, and thats better than giving what you can spare. (Wealthy guy vs poor lady story) 3. Money and worldly things are not important, and should not be of concern. The bible says that God will look after you, and you dont have to worry about anything. (Matthew 6) So wtf. It looks as though some of these are those parts of the bible that have definitely been tampered with. |
You would think someone would be uneasy when after all of the spiritual advancement talk someone says "ok we're passing around the collection plate give generously god will appreciate it".
|
Lmao, like god actually has a need for the human invention 'money'....
Good one christian church. :laugh: |
Gay..................

Or you could actually give to the poor, like a struggling mother who you know will spend it earnestly and not waste it away on booze. Would God be happy that you gave money to the church, which is only a medium in which you can pray, where you can pray and worship in other places, or if you gave financial stability to God's other children?

It's the prospect of giving it to the church therefore allowing them to help more people. :bored: |
Or like the prospect of giving directly to the poor people instead of allowing a potentially greedy church to spend it on more unnecessary candelabrum so they can preach to God while the church still retains that wonderful holy smell of incense and moted light. :bored:

^ churches do need money in order to run, thats a fact... but when you're talking about this shit you see on TV, yeah those are scams... the collection plate at church isnt tho lol, nobody (at least at my church) pretends that thats going to God, we know we gotta pay the light bill, electricity, pastor, ect... |

Churches arnt god blay... Churches are places that teach a specific esoteric school of thought usually put forward by an ancient radical (and sometimes compleatly unrealistic) philosopher or 'prophet' that gained a following in his/her day. God is a supreme deity that created the universe. Seriously man, do you really think human churches are even remotly important to god? Out of the 100 million stars in our galaxy alone, its probable to imagine there are other species existing on solar systems such as ours. Do you really think they know/care who the fuck Jesus was or anything he stood for? Or muhhummed? Or those responsible for the hindu religion? Churches just take a stab in the dark speculating on things they really have no idea about. Yeah they need money to run.. Thats why they bloody tell everyone in their ancient jewish texts to give them 10% of their income or god wont be happy!. Back in the day those fuckers provided a service for things like time keeping and notification of upcomming celebration dates and ringing of bells to note certain times during a day. Community funding was justified back then.. Now they do jack shit for us aside from leading the weak minded around on a wild goose chase full of fairy tales nobody can prove and adaptations of older folk tales and philosophies which they lie and claim to be their own. Even genesis doesent belong to the bible... You can credit that one to jewish slaves working for the ancient sumerian civilisation adapting their creation stories into their own language. Churches of today are for the most part, just a sham...... A stab in the dark... Faith is a pathetically flawed concept... The sooner humans realise that, the better off we will all be. Can I ask.........Why the fuck do you even go to church? |
no gay names are homo shit... like saaran...shit was played out... thought i'd be more true to myself... but yes that was me....muahaha

lol, do u even read my posts or just rant on and on about whatever you want? look, with the money thats in the collection plate at my church we can barely handle paying the church's bills and paying our pastor a salary... i know this because we have a treasurer and i attend the vestry meetings, nothings hidden, and nobody says that giving money to the church is going to get them into heaven, lol... you can keep talking about these consipracies in the church that you think are true all you want, but i'm speaking from what i know, my church... and nothing you've said in this thread applies to us. i dont believe that giving money to my church is going to get me into heaven, i believe its going to keep me warm on a cold Sunday morning in December. the end. |
Do you know the difference between tithing and collection plates? Because last time I checked, a dollar in the collection plate isn't 10% of your finances.

A lot of christians obviously dont share that opinion.. Congratulations.. I have nothing wrong with you giving money to them then. But I still am at a complete loss as to why you even go to a church... W/e tho.. I'm not that interested... |
Quote:
Whoever says giving money will get them into heaven isn't a Christian. Christianity is about Christ. You might be talking about Catholics. :bored: |
Q made a thread saying he'll always be blessed because he tithes.
>/ Why does no one pay attetnion to me? |
Being blessed and getting into heaven are two different things you poon. :o
|
Oh yes, because you know, being in God's grace after following the Scriptures which most people don't (though it probably was added by the Roman Catholics so they can get money), you so totally are not going into heaven.
|
Well I think the intended connotation of Q's thread was that he is mored blessed than others because he tithes in addition to being a good Christian.
