Many times when you're broke and have to attend church service, of which so many believers won't go to church purposely because of that.. You were served the offering envelope by the ushers but because you have nothing on you to put into the envelope as God is your witness.. Is it right for you to return the empty envelope into the offering box like that as if something is inside to avoid shame or you rather not put it there at all or not collect the offering envelope from the ushers at first?

So is it a sin to return it empty?

Opinions of intelligent nairalanders are needed here.. Let's learn.

question is why take collect the envelope in the first place if u have nothing to give? is it by force to collect the envelope? God is not man yes.. but if God was your earthly father ,would you treat him in such a disrespectful manner? God knows we dont have when we do not have. so if u didn't collect the envelope because u don't have money to put in it, then don't collect it. But collecting it with the intention of returning it back empty is an insult on your creator.. What you can't do to ur earthly father you experiment it on a God who can read your mind. who is deceiving who. collecting envelope in Church because everyone is collecting it and u don't want to be left out... foolish move... I pray God will give us sense...

The problem with you is your wanting desperately to explain God using human examples.

According to the Bible, you insult God if you don't keep His commandments.

I don't see how returning an empty envelope equates with breaking God's commandments, let alone amounts to disrespecting God.

I am sure you are also one of those religious people who think missing church service is a disrespect to God.

He threatened to curse because of an empty envelope? Let us imagine that this pastor is God. No one would be alive today.

Even when He was being unjustly tortured, Jesus never cursed. But yet, a so-called man of God wanted to curse because of an empty envelope.

Just Ensure you give to a Good Ground so it cold germinate..

Giving to the Course of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST is one of the best form of giving..
