Christians and Giving
acomplishedartis:
Hi,
I saw the post you made on august 30 about looking to met somebody in London, London city I suppose.
I might going to London city next week for a few days, if you are around there you can send me a pm. It is impossible to send you one since you post on a guess position.
Oh, and between us, if you decide to make a forum name account, I don't know if you have noted that the word 'Christian' have gone too far in significances these days (as well as the words 'missionary work'). And when you call your self 'sincere christian', it feels to me like the first reaction of a mind is to suspect the opposite (might be just me.. and I am not saying that you are not). I am sorry for that, but first impressions with names sometimes can be tricky.
By the way, I will help you with WHAT I CAN if I ever see you.

I don't think he was trying to scam us. I think he just wasn't a good fit here yet. I pm'd him about this and he pm'd me back saying I was the only one. He apparently only wanted pm's and didn't come back to read the comments here. Feared we'd possibly be "judgemental."
Perhaps once he has done some more work and God has done some more work, he'll come back to us in a better situation.

Roy Martin:
I think a scam is not the case at all, but even so. what is that to a cheerful giver?
Oh how disappointing and hurtful it is to have expectations of each other, especially brothers and sisters in Christ.
A stranger comes into the flock because they see something in us, and ask for help which would to me be something hard to do.
Are we instructed to qualify a stranger before helping them? Are we to question their words and beliefs, or their introduction. Do we show them our carnality through suspensions, or does the Spirit within us reveal itself to them with kindness, compassion and understanding.
Sincere Christian hasn't returned probably due to two reasons. He received no help, or he didn't see Christ in us, or both. Expectations on his part, qualifications on our part, or some I should say. What have we learned in this, or is it what have I seen in the mirror?
Just saying it as I see it, and wondering if a cheerful giver is conditional.
Peace
Roy
