You cannot be a repented person without being a Giver,because Giving is part of the evidence of repenting

The sinful giver and repentant non giver they are all sin wen u don't pay your tithe u are a robber.

dingbang:
you have judged... You have sinned...

I must sin ,that's y am.human and not God, ... What about u that can identify who a sinner is?

askibee:
here to learn, things of God are so difficult to understand

It isn't. Don't let too much talks from people confuse you. The one thing I have always told people is that they need to study the Bible to know how God works. And when doing so, ask for understanding. Pray as well, that way u build a personal relationship with him and know how God works. Is too much of listening to people that makes it seem difficult or jumping from one church to another. Stay blessed

nurusystem:
god knows more ....stop creating ur ideology use the scriptures ...

That's the problem with today's world. They don't know the Bible. Always trying to justify their own thoughts.

you must not sin, you have Christ in u...

God's standard is really high compared to what you just listed.

[quote author=Ajusshi post=53020931] Wrong u are. Giving is not by force. Though the bible admonish us to give cos givers never lack. [/quote
baba read well nd grasp what he mean by giving.

Is Christianity really from the heart or just about keeping the laws and obeying them..
let's hear opinions, will a very cheerful christian who sins make it to heaven or someone who keeps the commandment,who isn't concerned with giving..

anyone that do/follow this two greatest commandment (among the rest) is not far from the kingdom

1) love GOD with all your strength, with all your might and with all your life

2) love your neighbour as yourself

Ajusshi:

Being a Christian and giving goes hand in hand.

You can't be a christian without giving. God gave Christ for us to listen to and emulate, and also, to die for us thereby redeeming us.

Pay attention to the bold

Muafrika2:
Obedience is better than sacrifice.

God desires mercy and justice more than offerings, which can just be a show without being from the heart..

how do you explain the story of d the good samaritan ?

jasoncage:
What makes you a Christian is faith in Christ alone. Not works lest any man boast. Eph 2:9. For being a Christian, you're a citizen of heaven because you have the nature of God within you. Primary things first. Giving or works have nothing to do with going to heaven. But as Christians, you should give and abound in good works.

what are the good works? how can you say you are in christ when you can't give you time, love, money and good things your God has blessed you with to your neighbors? what are the greatest commandment given by Christ? love! who is a Christian? they are those who have the same character with Christ which makes them Christ like.

Empredboy:

It's a perfect example. The good samaritan showed mercy. Before he did, a priest and levite (men offered to God's service, and the preaching, etc) passed by in their rush to "serve God"

dingbang:

then y do we ask for for forgiveness of sins? If we r perfect

Ajusshi:

do you understand the story of the good Samaritan? why did Christ called him "good " do you think giving is only money? what about your time? those who were wrongly accused and you been a witness to help him did you help the person out of problem? have you used your Christian character to bring souls to Christ by setting examples? they are more and more ways you can give. Christians are givers just as Christ gave his life to redeem us.
can you give up all you have to save a soul? please read the story of the early Christians and the Saints then see how they gave their all so that the word of God can reach you and i

Good but,

I think you should replace your No 2 with the quote below because it is better and newer.


"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another"

thanks .thats why Jesus said not all that call me lord lord will enter the kingdom of heaven.

None of the above. You have to be Born Again to be a Real Christian and to enter into The Kingdom of God.

That's right.

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38, This is the first and greatest commandment.
39, And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
40, All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

What you quoted and this mean the same
The two go along

None. Both are sinners.

The best thing you can give a man is to give your life and Jesus Christ did that already so you cannot out give him. Therefore,giving is not what is expected of you accepting the gift that was given is what qualifies any man to get to heaven and this gift is JESUS CHRIST.

John 13:34

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another"

What they have in common is love. Both command us to love one another (neighbour)

Now, how they differ is the kind of love in question.

Christ's love for us is total and of the purest essence (Perfect). Humans' love is great but not perfect. A human can treat his fellow badly but feels he/she is loving a neighbour with that singular act.

Christ wants us (humans) to love the way he loves and that's why its a NEW commandment.

That's my point.

Wich 1 be sinful giver?? Abeg giver na giver, sinful giver or no sinful giver as long as he or she gives to the needy, that's d koko

The same Jesus said, we can do more than him. What is this "outgiving" I read from your post?

None

in as much as I agree with your point
I think at the bolded, i'm not too cool with that
love your neighbour as yourself that means do unto your neighbour what you can do to yourself

If you treat your neighbour badly and you claim ignorance
Can you do the same to yourself?

Shock me.

counter my claim

you're free to do that

God need your soul not your pocket, be free from sin live life of holines is what God need

Getting into heaven is decided by God, because He is the One who created it. Let no one who thinks he has heaven look down on others. Everyone has access to heaven, as long as you're human. There is no better christian, just christians. Judge not, so you will not be judged. Good afternoon.
