Is It A Sin To Return Empty Offering Envelope Back To The Church Offering Box? by McXponent(m): 7:40am On Aug 25, 2019 |
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. #McXponent Thank you. 3 Likes

it is meant to be FREEWILL OFFERING.... so no one is forcing you... BUT in the Nigerian church they may FORCE you to collect, hence the methods you listed are normal ways of subtly declining.... NONE IS A SIN. As long as your motive for being in the church is just to WORSHIP GOD for who he is and not to seek miracles then you do not need to feel guilty, you will definitely give to God when you have.... even though you may already have BUT not know it.

It's no sin. You can even offer your yourself as a living sacrifice. The Lord alone sees your intent and knows it all. 28 Likes 1 Share |

It's not sin, I'm not sure why you'd wonder if it was. Write a pledge on the envelope and send in the money later, it's something I do occasionally. Working on how to give online donations also. 7 Likes |

You are dropping an empty envelop but want people around to think you are giving an offering. Yes it is deception. Nobody forced you to pick the envelop in the first place. If you don't have money, or you don't want to give just fold your arms and leave the envelop where it is. If you are ashamed of not giving offering, then do not go to church without offering.

malvisguy212:peer pressure is strong in church. A lot of people that collect these envelopes do so, because everyone around them is collecting and they can't afford to be left out. 20 Likes |
