Maximus69:


Most people just presume what they feel should be called Christianity [/b]instead of reading, studying and meditating on God's inspired word (Bible)

From Genesis to Revelation you can never find a place where a worshiper of God give alm to any beggar. The reason is that God of course say we should take care of the needs of our fellow man but that means ascertaining what your neighbour needed [b]not his want!
When you assist your fellowman with food, clothing or a place to lay his head, you're working what is good provided the person in question is not lazy but when you give alms to anyone asking then you're promoting idleness. That is why you're seeing able bodied men and women going about begging for alms otherwise it would only have been those that are truly in need that we all will see!
God bless you!

We know you are not part of the most people in your DUPLICITY in what true Christianity is.

Maximus69:


Just quote a verse where a worshiper of God gave a dime to a beggar, that's all!

I know the OP can understand what i'm saying it may sound unpalatable but that's the truth, if you want to be a Christian you must follow the ACT of the first century Christians, in Antioch the onlookers called Jesus' followers "Christians" not because the Christians were acting in line with what people expect them to do but because they were carrying out their activities exactly the way Jesus the one who claims to be Christ did! Act 11:26

So instead of presuming what Christianity means why not follow the standard set by the first century pioneers of this religion?

Can you quote a verse where any of them gave a beggar any money?

Mention three beggars in the Bible and stop wasting people's time.

Kobojunkie:

The same /similar is found in the book of Proverbs

The lens on the face of the person that post is meant for won't allow him to see clearly. You see how he has been repeating DIME DIME DIME. As if gifts of mercy is restricted to DIME

After His duplicity, he came back with the be below.......

I Maximus69 decided to allow you see how far those claiming Christians will come and do justice to the issue on ground with the use of God's word.

After lambasting the Op as an ATHEIST into the mud he want to save face by dragging those "claiming Christians" into his guagmire.

Did he regard the saying of those he say they claim Christian. Are they not false christians again? Will what the saying of false Christians bring any validity to his point. Will their point change them to true Christians? When he won't stop assuming and speculating. This is what it will result to.

Yet the thread was as a result of the saying of a true Christians not false Christians let him face what is before him after his duplicity.

This part of his post got me laughing. They don't presume. It is all other Christians that are PRESUMPTUOUS .

But there is no[b][/b] PRESUMPTION in ......Christians don't give beggars money, Jesus never taught us to do so ...........according to Jesus spokesman himself.

The OP taught Christianity is about giving money to beggars so i told him frankly that that's not the ideology of true Christians but that of unbelievers claiming Christians!

So i allowed those false Christians to explain why there is no verse in the scriptures where one worshiper of God gave a DIME to any beggar!

If it's gifts of mercy, yes that is a practice amongst Jehovah's Witnesses (true Christians) but giving professional beggars money is wrong according to God's word!

But if you want to prove me wrong then quote a verse in the Bible where any of God's servants gave a DIME to any beggar!

That's the point of argument not gift of mercy that's practiced everywhere!

Now you're talking!

Of course there is no worshiper of God that's begging for money {Psalms 1:1; 37:25} and that's why the OP brought the issue forward to hear your opinions and not what is found in God's word!

Achorladey: Your problem lies in this highlighted in bold. Thinking you know what was in the mind of the Op. Here is why Op made this thread.......

So if one ends up like a begger, that automatically mean one's an enemy of God or that automatically mean one's an animal? I don't get you, if I don't have something or maybe I'm in a precarious situation and I need people's help for the mean time, that means I'm not even worthy to be call human?

I seriously don't get you. From inception, people have always have privileges, and because you have a privilege of being rich or have enough to cater for you for a while doesn't mean others that don't have are miserable or lazy or evil and not worthy to be in the society.

In case you've not been reading your Bible, please open up to Matthew 25:35-40, Jesus explicitly said ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

Rather than stick to what the Op was saying you added your own presumption even saying it's like you want to learn shey?

Maximus69: So i allowed those false Christians to explain why there is no verse in the scriptures where one worshiper of God gave a DIME to any beggar! wink

Achorladey: You allowed false Christians? For what benefit since they are false. It is not like they will tell you the truth anyway since they are false in your eyes. What do they have to do with the issue, since it is between you the TRUE CHRISTIAN and the atheist.

Maximus69: If it's gifts of mercy, yes that is a practice amongst Jehovah's Witnesses (true Christians) but giving professional beggars money is wrong according to God's word! wink

Achorladey: but giving to professional beggars . Where is the Op talking about professional beggars. Show us where? Its all your PRESUMPTION and ASSUMPTION followed with SPECULATION. Was the issue on the other thread about a professional beggar? Smh for you.

Maximus69: But if you want to prove me wrong then quote a verse in the Bible where any of God's servants gave a DIME to any beggar! smiley

Achorladey: Go back and read all the post before this particular one. 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:11

Maximus69: That's the point of argument not gift of mercy that's practiced everywhere! wink

Achorladey: Trying to change everything to fit your narrative now . Tell us first where JESUS said we should not give beggars money? Or TRUE CHRISTIANS don't give beggars money! Since we know GIFTS of Mercy don't include MONEY .

Of course he was begging for money and those giving him taught they're doing what is right, but when God's son came he taught them what every servant of God should do for the needy!

So how much did Jesus give him to teach them about worshiping God in spirit and truth?

And don't forget that Jesus has condemned the worship practiced by those organizing the Temple worship in his time under which the blind man worshiped, for you to know that he wasn't a worshiper of the true God back then, those with whom he was worshiping threw him out: a sign that he is no more a worshiper of their own God! John 9:34

FOLYKAZE:
I found this link https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/quotes/charity.php

That link exposes that JW will not provide charitable help to you if you are non-jw. souls

You know my opposition to your JW bashing, so see this as an exception.

Jesus never taught that one should only love one's neighbours, but also one's extremely very hard to love enemies, whom he said, turn your other cheek to be slapped if they slap one side of your face, and as we all know, its hard to do this as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, so, Christ followers would learn to forgive those who know not what they do.

Perhaps we can learn from the Parable of the Orangutan, who Christ said one should emulate.

budaatum:
In reply Jesus said: “A man was stuck in a river".

"A photographer stood there taking photos while an orangutan saved the man".

“Which of these do you think was a neighbor to the man stuck in a river?”

The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “[url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+10%3A25-37&version=NIV]Go and do likewise[/url].”

According to the Psalmist, no worshiper of God do beg for food! Psalms 37:25

So for one to be a beggar clearly indicates that something is wrong somewhere. The man wasn't a worshiper of the true God, that's why Jesus taught his own followers by example that instead of giving him alms, he supposed to be helped to return to the group of givers not beggars, and which group is that? The worshipers whose God is the Good Shepherd, his sheep don't go about begging for bread! Psalms 23:1

Funny thread!
Opened by a supposed Atheist to ask questions regarding beggars and those giving them alms, but no religionsists have come up with an example of a worshiper of God who happens to be a beggar!

Well let me first of make this clear to all that it's not possible to have all what we want in this wicked world, I think the question most Churchgoers failed to seek an answer to is "how come God's word emphasized that worshipers of God will not be beggars?
After all it's impossible for all of us to be wealthy.

Well the truth is God will supply all the needs of his worshipers miraculously and put Satan who wants to taunt the living God to shame. Satan knows very well that it's not proper for servants of Jehovah to go begging pagans for money.
So Jehovah arranged that his worshipers should take good care of their fellow believers who are less privileged, that's why most of you can quote God's word in support of giving but can't find one single worshiper/servant of God who is a beggar!
Today Jehovah's Witnesses makes sure that we arrange for the NEEDS of all our brothers and sisters, note that i said NEEDS not WANTS!

The reason is because that's what Jesus promised us in this system of things, so we strive really hard to maintain our integrity because Satan is always looking for ways to profane the name of God who claims to provide for his worshipers {Psalms 1:1, 37:25} this he is doing through the whole association of JWs globally!

The most important asset a JW must never lack is the spiritual sword (Bible). Ephesians 6:17
Throughout the world today you can't find one member of Jehovah's Witnesses Organization who doesn't have a copy of the Bible. Also note that when Churchgoers put Bibles under their armpit in which almost half of it is torn, a little JWs has a modern day deluxe covered Bible at hand!
It's a taboo for any of us to kneel before an unbeliever begging for money, that's why we make sure we offer the best service so that even our enemies will be forced to acknowledge our diligence at work. Proverbs 22:29
So instead of Satan to mock our God, Jehovah instill in the hearts of his faithful worshipers the Love of our fellow believers, therefore even if i'm stranded anywhere, all i need to do is ask anyone around for where my brothers and sisters live, once i found a JW i'll be treated like a VIP in the home of my brothers.
That's why i can confidently say whenever we see someone begging for money, JWs know that such a person can't be a worshiper of JEHOVAH our own God!

Achorladey: Oga Maximus69 nothing is wrong with begging and don't muddled the whole stuff with your professional beggar. You beg everyday for mercy and forgiveness from your MAKER. Does that mean something is wrong with you? Begging.....to require as necessary or appropriate. Jesus Christ said ASKS.

Maximus69: The man wasn't a worshiper of the true God

Achorladey: One scripture to support the above that states clearly the man is not a worshipper of the true God. To say he was born in a nation which is in a COVENANT with God should tell you the story. Or the covenant don scatter before then?


Maimus69: that's why Jesus taught his own followers by example that instead of giving him alms,

[b]Maximus69: he supposed to be helped to return to the group of givers not beggars.

Achorladey: Here comes your NARRATIVE. Was the account about returning him to group of GIVERS?

Maximus69: and which group is that?

Achorladey: JWS or False Christians or first century Christians or Christendom or the Jews

Maximus69: The worshipers whose God is the Good Shepherd, his sheep don't go about begging for bread! Psalms 23:1

Achorladey: As long as you remember that " I will lack nothing" does not mean there won't be need for you to ASKS or BEG for something.

If it means total lack of nothing. Jesus won't be saying. ASKS and it shall be given. If someone don't lack something they won't ask or beg.

So when a fellow JW like you beg or ask financial or any assistance from you. Does it mean JEHOVAH is not the Good Shepherd?

What you are advocating is not Christianity, but Jwanity! Which is okay so long as you don't make out it is what Christ taught, because Christ never said, make your enemies family before you love them. Christ said love your enemies despite them being your enemy, as you can clearly read for yourself.

Christianity without philanthropy is like salt that has lost his savour. See below what we are told to do with it.

What Churchgoers don't understand is they're just duplicating the self righteosness of first century Pharisees!
This group pose as worshipers of God but they make their gifts of mercy in the public where onlookers will commend them as philanthropists but in Christianity, even if i have billions of dollars i must contribute into my family so that we all share both the pains and riches together!
I'll never single handedly give it out to anyone as if i'm the good one, if you want the goodies, then be prepared also to share the pains of my brothers! That's what the first century Christians did, none of them ever give a dime to a beggar, they brought everything they had into the family for all to enjoy.
So if anyone wants to enjoy the goodies in the family, let him join the family, the door is always open!

Our real enemy is Satan the Devil not humans with flesh and blood {Ephesians 6:11-12} this enemy is the one holding people behind from seeing the LOVE we share amongst us, so there is no way they can come into our house without the spirit in them being ousted first {Matthew 12:43} and once they're in our midst we'll continue to feed their hearts with good things so that the old spirit doesn't have the chance to come back into their hearts! Matthew 12:44-45

That's why it's very difficult to drag a convert in JW out from our midst, whenever you see someone say he/she is exjw, know that they're born by Witnesses and since they feel like something better is outside the Organization, they'll leave but they can't be happy, WHY? They'll always complain that JWs don't love them again whereas they're the ones who say they find evil in our midst.
So if someone truthfully escape from amongst evil people, please do you think such a person need to look back at the same evil people thinking of being loved by the same evil people? Matthew 5:11-12

Maximus69:
What Churchgoers don't understand is they're just duplicating the self righteosness of first century Pharisees!
This group pose as worshipers of God but they make their gifts of mercy in the public where onlookers will commend them as philanthropists but in Christianity, even if i have billions of dollars i must contribute into my family so that we all share both the pains and riches together!
I'll never single handedly give it out to anyone as if i'm the good one, if you want the goodies, then be prepared also to share the pains of my brothers! That's what the first century Christians did, none of them ever give a dime to a beggar, they brought everything they had into the family for all to enjoy.
So if anyone wants to enjoy the goodies in the family, let him join the family, the door is always open!

The assumptions and speculation has started again. JWS don't duplicate Pharisees
