Christians and Giving

<< < (4/6) > >>

Deborah-Leigh:


1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
 
Sincere Christian might have been tried here, yet when he was here, I believe he was treated well and now he has gone ~  it is not for us to speculate or make assumptions. I don't believe that is our job.

Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Dennis Vogel:

--- Quote ---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.

Reading his opening statement, this could apply:

Luk 20:46  Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

Search e-Sword for the word "beware" and you will find many more. We need to "beware."

It's the way he presented his need and that he was new to the forum that made me a little suspicious. And since he left I'm even more suspicious. If he were still here and addressed a few of the criticisms I would give him a lot of leeway.

Ray gets emails asking for financial help. There are programs that can look for web sites containing the word "bible" and then cull email addresses. Then they simply do a mass email. Should Ray send $100.00 to every one of these he receives?

There very well could be a need here. But as others have pointed out, God determined that help would not come from this forum.

musicman:
Huuummm.  Where are these programs that can send mass e-mails to christians across the land?  That sounds like a good idea.  Never thought of that business proposition.




Say bible-truths members:

Could. . . . .could you spare a few bucks?

Ninny:
You all have given fair and loving responses...I see too that Sincere Christian has left the forum..we all have to examine our motives for asking for something...God always comes through just in time..It is best to wait on God...and now...
My dear Musicman...if you need a few bucks...I need some work done on my house???
Kathy ;)

judith collier:
Kathy, me too! Hear the sirens singing musicman?
