Why? The Bible (Acts 20:35) says It more blessed to give than to recieve yet people around have mastered the art of recieving alone. They seek the highest possible reward for effort but give the least possible when in position to. Many even use witchcraft and espionage to know who is going to be having what and whatnot just to position themselves to recieve things. Why are vast majority of Christians like that?

Whatever evil insinuations you are trying to make is already futile for first they are humans placed here to be happy and to enjoy the good in this world. And secondly, blessings are still a receiving. The fact that God commanded giving does not mean a person must give till he has none. And it is not that you do not know this is but your love for evil that will burn you up. |

That is what the Bible teaches. Not what man teach. Over the years we find man fail to live up by this moral standards, Not just Christians , others religions too. But because this good moral standards was found in the Bible, the op just single out only Christians |

CodeTemplarr:You didn't get the sense of what Paul said in that verse! Jesus Christ RECEIVED GIFTS from people {Matthew 8:15} his apostles RECEIVED GIFTS from people {Luke 10:3-7} and Paul who wrote what you just quoted also RECEIVED GIFTS from people. So believers in Bible times often receive gifts from their fellow worshipers {Act 11:29} that's what Paul is encouraging Christians to continue doing among themselves. And of course true Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses) are still doing so till today. A good example is what rich brothers and sisters and others living in rich countries shared to support those in need during COVID-19 lockdown! |

AntiChristian:Jesus always feed the poor. Mar 6:34-42 KJV 34] And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 36] Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. 37] He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? 38] He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 40] And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42] And they did all eat, and were filled. Jesus gave out healings & Set Slaves FREE ❤️ Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, Unlike the arab prophet who owned slaves Hadith Collection (Sahih Bukhari) Volume 5 -Book 59 -Hadith 541 and at that time Allah's Messenger had a slave called Mid`am |

Buhari4dullard:I said it before Jesus hardly give anything material to anyone! I am very correct! Miracle is not a material gift! The food you claimed, he collected it from someone and increased it miraculously. Which slave did he saved from your capping above? Na preaching of deliverance go save slaves? You pay their ransom! Jesus seldom give gift! |
