On generosity

[Catholicbooger]

Is ok to be generous? Should I give money to the unfortunates?

Leibniz writes:

"we are of the kind or race of God, who is the source of all minds. Thus, it is
in this sense that it is fitting for all human beings to be generous and to act according to the nobility
of human nature, so as not to degenerate or to lower ourselves to the level of beasts"

Thanks for clarifying.

Sure, it is. Now, as I class myself as one of those "unfortunates", from having to share this globe with so many delusionals who believe that Rome has ever stood for anything that doesn't benefit Rome directly, or that the Catholic Church isn't the most vile twisting of sense and Scripture ever, I'll forward my Paypal details by PM and expect to see the contents of your bank accounts therein shortly.

Re: On generosity

I'm not quite sure what Leibniz has to do with this. We follow Jesus and the Bible (KJV1611) around here and don't give a hoot about what Leibniz has to say - and I wouldn't think Jesus does either. As I recall, Leibniz was a Lutonian, and therefore not a True Christian™ anyway.

It strikes me that Jesus is in control of everything so if someone (and I'm not singling out the black race as that would be racist) is poor it's because that's what Jesus wants.

This is plain to see as many rich people are only rich because their parents were: they have not actually done anything to say they deserve such riches so the obvious conclusion is that they are rich because that is what Jesus wants.

It's really simple logic, really.

Isa:14:24: The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand

Your simple logic is very wrong.


Jesus, beyond doubt, said:
Matthew 19:23
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.”



So, why Jesus would make them rich, on purpose, so they can't go to the heaven?

Re: On generosity

...rudeness deleted...

The Bible says that anyone going to Heaven gets a new body (the relevant bit here), and a new name. If you're getting a new body, how do you carry the money from the old one that's rotting in a hole in the ground somewhere? You can't. Therefore, everyone entering Heaven is broke. Done.

In future, a much better approach would be to say, "There's something here I don't understand, would you please elaborate?", instead of telling people flat out that they're wrong (which, in most cases, you'll find they aren't, it's your own ignorance that's the problem).

Then, it's trivial you go poor to the heaven, because you get a new body.
Why to mention something so trivial in the bible?


The true purpose of this phrase, is that if you are rich, you dont go to the heaven, because you chose wealth before being virtuous.

Re: On generosity

...The true purpose of this phrase, is that if you are rich, you dont go to the heaven, because you chose wealth before being virtuous.

If being rich was your choice, as you claim, then God would have nothing to with you being rich or not. This is a decidedly NON-Biblical view, as the Bible says that God is responsible for everything that happens.

It would also contradict many other passages in the Bible (those that claim virtue leads to riches/prosperity), and any real Christian would recoil in horror at the idea of that even being possible.

Here are few of those passages (just off the top of my head):

Deuteronomy 28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Deuteronomy 28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 3:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

So when are you going to bother to read the whole Bible, and discover just how many of the "eternal truths" the Catholic Church has conned you into believing have no foundation in Scripture and thus are actually soul-damning heresy?

There's no book of Leibniz in the KJV, mackeral-snapper. The Holy Bible is all you need to read.

Dear Guest:

As an ex-papist and current equine gnathologist, I consider myself to be a rather learnded man. The Catholic church certainly teaches that it is virtuous to be generous. The Bible (Colossians 3:14) tells us that charity binds everything together.

However, whoever this joo is (Leibniz) that you're quoting, it makes absolutely no difference what he says. Only the LORD GOD matters and it's His opinion (which others have already illustrated for you) that counts. Not many joos will give to the poor blacks; here in godless NYC, joos have clothing stores and are accountants and lawyers. I don't ever see them offering services to black people for free. No joo clothing store ever has a sign saying "Rich people pay full price, poor (black) people no charge."

We here at Landover Baptist believe in tithing to the church - and the sky is the limit with regard to the blessings one receives from being faithful in giving to God's favorite church. The pastors here are always reminding the flock that hell's fires are uncomfortable, and by giving and giving and giving and giving, we move farther away from the devil's furnace, and closer to the air-conditioned Heavenly mansion that Jesus went to prepare for us. (John 14:2)

It is my prayer that you leave the whore of Babylon - the vile catholic church - and find true fellowship with God in a Baptist church. The reason you have to ask questions like this is because the catholics don't like it if you know the Bible since it discounts many of their man-made teachings.

COME, LORD JESUS!

Silly Mary-worshipping papist. The "unfortunates" are unfortunate because they have not accepted Christ. Giving them charity and money is only further encouraging their sin and disobedience of the Lord.


Ever notice up on the banner in the Home bar on this godly website, how much money the admins and Pastors here are able to tithe? Their tithing is thousands of dollars, often in the tens of thousands. They are able to tithe so much while still living comfortably because they have been blessed by Jesus.


Papists can never be accepted by Jesus, because they do not worship him correctly. Unless you repent of your Mary-worshipping, bead-counting, fish-eating, ash-smearing papist foolishness, you will be counted amongst the goats for eternity.

Re: On generosity

I don't know who this Leibniz is - the only jews I know are our lawyers, and that doesn't sound like a lawyer speaking to me. At least, no lawyer my husband would ever think of hiring! But Brother Larry explains it well here.

One of the joys of tithing is that it takes away the need to worry about what to do with your money. When we tithe, that is not just an act of charity, it is also tax-efficient for both parties. Or it can be, depending on where the funds originate.

I trust the Church's pastors and management to distribute those funds where they are most needed, safe in the knowledge that not a single cent will be used to (for example) enable drug-addled unmarried pregnant lesbians to pursue their abhorrent lifestyle choices.

I hope that is helpful.
