uboma:




the op asked the question seeking advise as to whether his action of dropping an empty envelope is right in the sight of God or not.


the best you could do is correct him using the Scriptures and not passing judgement on him already like it is in your place to do that.

It required a sarcastic answer.

Don't you guys understand some questions are plain silly?

You are ignorant.

People call the Almighty different names in their different tongues. How come you don't know something so basic?
Different names Like amadioha and Thor right?

What? Please God cannot be mocked. No matter how poor you are, you must have something to give God. You give according to your level. You're giving to God and not man, so He knows your earnings. Remember you don't come to the presence of God empty.

If you don't have money, use your praise and worship as your offering. People are just so dumb about worshiping God in truth and in spirit. Your offering cannot save you

I have been puzzled for a while, I remember the time I refused to collect the envelope because I didnt have money but I ended up feeling embarrased because everyone kept staring, when it passed and I didnt put any money. So I wanna know is it a sin to collect the envelope and put it there empty to avoid public embarrassment. Because I don't genuinely have. I'll like thoughtful opinion on this.

You are simply returning the envelope, back to sender. Saving them an extra cost of printing another envelope....

I don't know oh, but ask yourself what you will gain by dropping an empty envolop in the offering box. Why not simply let it pass?

Madness you would say!

Why dont you go outside when its time to return the envelope if you feel you will be embarrassed instead of decieving yourself by putting an empty envelop.

People would decode..... Just return an empty envelope and save the exercise......

embrassed you say.with your conscience brother.is better to face the embrassement in the sight of men than fool myself with the things of God.i wonder why one wil feel embrassed when you dont have cash.kai

You've said my mind bro.

But to try getting vain glory from men is worse than trying to fool GOD.

Seun:
A man came unto Jesus and asked him if it was okay to submit empty envelopes to a prosperity church that makes people drop offerings openly in order to embarrass those who have nothing to give. "What is written on the envelope?" asked Jesus. "The name of the prosperity church", answered the man. Jesus said, "give to the prosperity church what belongs to the prosperity church". And the people were amazed.
Lol, who knew seun smoked? This is gold. grin

Re: Is It A Sin To Drop Empty Envelope In Offering Box? by Papoose269(m): 1:56pm On Nov 12, 2017
I think that's very disrespectful. It's better you just sit down instead of dropping an empty envelope. When I go to church and maybe after the first offering there's another offering, if I have money I can go for the offering,if I don't have I will not kill myself. Sometimes I have money and still decide not to drop it in the offering box, I will sit down majestically with no shame at all because salvation is personal and it's between God and I.
Re: Is It A Sin To Drop Empty Envelope In Offering Box? by designVATExcel: 1:56pm On Nov 12, 2017
At least for you to have asked this question, shows you have a conscience.

As most people already said, its better you don't drop anything or briefly excuse yourself when its being collected, than deceive people in the house of the Lord.
God sees your heart that you don't have, so don't be ashamed of it.

Everyone commenting on this thread has been broke before and will still be broke at some point in the future. Its normal and no one is immune to it.

It is, because its deceit. If u no get money sidon for ur chair. Its not a crime not to have money, ur reason in church is fir hope, restoration and salvation. Unless ur church is the type That threaten people with poverty, Devine curses and hell fire if they don't put offering. Then sidon for ur house if u no get money. Kapish!

Re: Is It A Sin To Drop Empty Envelope In Offering Box? by irofulu(f): 1:59pm On Nov 12, 2017
the bible says do not go to the present of God empty, it is becoming an habit for you, which you should stop I will advice that putting little inside your envelop is better than nothing, God cannot be mocked whatsoever a man sow he will surely reap just repent , God look at the intent of the heart, I wish you good success.

I couldn't care less about what anyone thinks, I return the envelope the way they gave it to me, sometimes I don't even touch it. Let them come and ask me question make I see, they will tell me if they gave me any money to hold for them, nonsense!
