i have a question for jerks who call themselves "Christians? Atheists, please read this too?

Question

i am a Croatian Roman Catholic. And i want to know why you ****** sinful monsters (Christians) sit in your houses and forget about the poor. When you can travel to a city, bring $100 with you, and just give it to a poor person. I have so many Christian friends that don't do ****. Why don't we all just realize what's going on around us? Why don't we actually help poor people out? i know many RICH christians that should go to hell because how greedy they are, i want to know why you aren't out there and helping out the poor. I believe in Jesus and God, but Christianity and the Church is a big ******* mistake. Why dont we all just follow the Bible and the preachings of Jesus and do something about it? **** CHURCH, and **** the Bishop, and **** the priests, why don't they go out on to the streets and give their money to the poor.

I just want to know why Christians ( me too)_aren't out there doing what Jesus did. Please Christians, answer this qeustion:

PS: And you wonder why there are so many Atheist trolls on this site, they're no trolls, they are honest people who at least don't lie about how they are Christians"?

Answer 1

Please quote any scripture you can find where Jesus gave any money to anyone.

Answer 2

Think about something, please:



We can give money to the hungry, the homeless, and the sick. But by tomorrow, that money will be gone, and they aren't any better off than they were. And we can only help the people within our neighborhood or town.



By contrast, Catholic Charities can reach out to people in need all over the world. By funding educational and assistance programs, the Church can teach people to care for themselves. The amount that I donate is added to all the other donations, and then my money can do a lot more good.



That doesn't excuse me or anyone else from helping those around us who are in need -- far from it. I enjoy helping other people, and that's all I'm going to say about it. As you say, we need to give to the poor every day.



But when you curse the Church, you curse the good works that it does, too. Combine the worldwide outreach of Catholic Charities with individual giving at a local level, and you have a powerful force for good.



God bless you, and keep up the good work!

Answer 3

Hey Ivan, first, you have to realize that we are all sinners and saints. No one is fully evil, no one is fully good, even Jesus flipped tables! Second, monetary issues are not the only way to help this world. Jesus never donated money, by the way, he was a teacher a preacher. What you and I and the rest of the Christians need to do is to spread God's live through our actions and thoughts, that's what Jesus did. Third, I agree with you on the fact that most Christians are a bit ignorant and just plain lazy; however, only God has the complete right to "judge", so you live your life the way Jesus would and don't judge others and don't get offended when people judge you. "Turn the other cheek". Alright brother! God bless.

Answer 4

I will answer this as atheist.

Look the problem is that mankind has become slave of money.

And industrialists have reduced the mankind to only workers who need to get paid for the work. We have all become mechanical parts of a big machine in which the wealthy business owners are the only ones who benefit.

In other words we are all slaves for 9 to 5 work. Production , turnover, quality these have become the trinity we all worship . For what , only for a handful of cash. Mammon .

In Buddhism the devil is ruler the wealth & desires.



But there is another model.

We can have a system in which the factories produce goods using robots . No humans needed. And govt to pay us cash so that we can buy. And majority of people should strive to achieve the supernatural because its intrinsic of human. No animal can do that. Well there can be people who would want to do design work or art work , let them do , in part time as a hobby .

We can have monasteries where people meditate and are supplied by state. Being a human should entitle every one to receive providence from state and the monasteries should produce super men who would transcend the material world and achieve oneness with the universe.

Answer 5

Well, in their defense, giving is easier said than done. Humans are selfish creatures. Myself included. I try to be generous, but it is hard. No one is perfect, after all, and though we may try to be good people, and we know Jesus wants us to give to the poor, it's hard sometimes. This part isn't Christian, exactly, I believe it's from Buddha, but he said something to the effect of, if you stopped wanting things (wanting clothes, money, food, health) then you wouldn't suffer. If you didn't want anything you simply wouldn't suffer. And who doesn't want a life without suffering? But you can't just stop wanting stuff.

Some try. Some may be selfish, but some people really do try. Then there are of course the people that can't afford to help a whole lot. (But then again, remember the story with the person who gave thousands of dollars out of her huge fortune and then the woman who had only one penny but gave it to the church anyway, so the woman who gave one penny gave more. But then back to the hard to give thing again: giving everything you have is difficult)

Well that was a little long but I hope it helped.

Answer 6

All fall short of the glory of God and no one has the capacity for compassion like Christ does. Are we not like the criminal who hung dying next to the cross who knew he deserved the punishment he had been served, who never asked to be glorified but merely to be remembered? Did Jesus have to do anything for this criminal? Does He have to do anything for any of us? No, but He does it because He thinks beyond His own self. Beyond His own suffering. He gives His life freely for the sake of those who would otherwise be lost because He has compassion. Because He cares. You point out the imperfection of the human condition. You ask why it seems that people just don't care and the truth of the matter is that it is because the path of holiness is the most difficult to tread. The vast majority fail miserably at it in one way or another which is why we ask Christ to share His Blessed Forgiveness. Why every time we celebrate the Blessed Sacrifice He made we ask Him to remember us when He comes into His Kingdom. If I am so blessed as to be received into Heaven I know it is not because I deserved it, but because He said the word and my soul was healed.

Answer 7

Did Jesus in the Bible run around giving money to the poor ?

Answer 8

Just give that homeless person $100 and you're just paying for more drugs, I used to think like you, but trust me the best way to help those people is to provide them food and psychological help. People aren't homeless because they're down on their luck, they're homeless because they have mental problems or drug issues. Anyways yeah you're right there's a lot of issues with today's Church, but cussing a bunch of people out isn't going to do much good. Next time you volunteer invite some friends with you, that's all you can do.

Answer 9

You can't condemn anyone to hell. You're not the judge. Jesus is. p.s. The Roman Catholic Church is a denomination of Christianity. I completely agree with you when that we should just follow the teachings of the bible. For example, we should follow Acts 2:38 but Catholics don't agree with it.

Answer 10

Whoever says, "I love God," but hates another believer is a liar. People who don't love other believers, whom they have seen, can't love God, whom they have not seen.

1 john 4:20



First of all ur a hypocrite as admitted fix urself then speak

Second its not like there arent christians doing that. Im in nicaragua as we speak for a year, serving a ministry that feeds over 100k meals to kids annaually. Im not paid and of the money i brought down here i have forty dollars and 1 back pack of stuff, thats all i have in this world atm. God and the ministry bless me i stay free. I dont boast in myself i boast in what Christ is doing.



U wanna know the secret to actually getting out there and doing something:

Love encounters

Pray for love encounters with the Holy Spirit.



Encounters build faith love, destroy selfishness and grow intimacy. In so doing ur relationship faith in and intimacy with Christ Grows. He can trust u, so He can give u more harder work



Also one more MUST If u wanna get out there. U MUST serve the body of Christ in some way. If there is a need then fill it whatever it is. No job is unimportant. Stephen of the bible wrecked ppl for Jesus. His job was to give out food. He went from food giver to martyr for Jesus. If u can prove ur faithfulness with little responsiblity have a time God will give u more/exalt u. I was called to the mission field after 3 years of working diligently at a Church, and having many encounters (remember Jesus and getting o know Him is FIRSTTT priority, even HIGHER priority than loving ppl. The commands are Love God with everything THEN love God as urself). U may work more or less u may be called to missions or not but seek encounter and learn to hear His voice. God speaks what kinda Father doesnt talk to His kids.



10 Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”

Zech 4:10



Luke 16:10

10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.



Acts 6:

1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews[a] among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”



5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.



7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.





1 cor 12:

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.



21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Answer 11

I somewhat agree with you, like why does the Vatican seem so gaudy and over done with all of the ceremonial dresses and religious jewelry, which is just all so unnecessary .. among other things. I mean with their summer homes and retirement homes, come on, practice what you preach.



But as for the people, idk.. I think their just too busy with their lives. I think many are hesitant to give money to someone who lives on the street because they dont know how they got there and what will they do with the money they give them.



I personally know some people who made some bad choices in their lives and are really bad off, but would not give them money because I know what they would do with it. I'd rather offer them my couch and food.

Answer 12

Well first if you read the bible you wouldn't be catholic. Second giving money to the poor is pointless unless you know their character. Most likely you are buying them drugs or alcohol. Your best bet is to donate money to a food pantry or charity not to the actual individual.

Answer 13

Churches have more institutions for helping the poor than the Goverment.

Answer 14

first off how DARE you say that!okay yes there are many Christians that are hypothetical and maybe that's who your friends with! But don't even start with dissing the Bible and stuff! Your so foolish now go away

Answer 15

The RCC is already the largest charitable organization on earth.

Answer 16

People r sheeple ..and there r many ministers that say money is a very good thing

Answer 17

Well. Why don't we just do that.

And atheists are not honest or they would refer to themselves as agnostics.

Answer 18

While I was getting electrocuted crucifixion style the electricity was flowing right through me, I saw my spirit leave my body. Instantly, I was in hell! At that time, I didn't know anything about the bible. I wasn't a religious person or a Christian and didn't know any Christians. I just know that I was cast into outer darkness. I heard the most horrifying, tormenting screams imaginable. I heard these time and time again, and although I never saw who was screaming, I, myself, would scream because of the fear of those frightening screams.

My sins were tormenting me while I was in hell, January 27, 1977. I saw my sins pass from my right to my left down to the age of five. Now here I am a young man of 27 years, seeing all my sins pass before me in living color. It was like watching a motion picture screen! I saw my very first sin committed at the age of 5. The sin of disobedience, and not honoring my mother and my father. My mother said, "I don't want you boys to eat those marshmallows. We are going to roast them over the fire in the back yard with the family tonight." Well, my mother caught my brother, Cliff, and I, hiding behind a stump, in our back yard in Farmington, Michigan, eating those marshmallows. This wasn't a sin of murder, or rape, or what ever the world considers a horrible sin, but a simple sin of disobedience. It was the last of a long line of sins shown to me. I saw sin, after sin, after sin. For every sin, there was a scream! Screams from me!



People have asked me, "How long were you there?" Well, it felt like eternity! It was that long! I couldn't tell you how long I was there, but I don't want to go back.



Besides the screaming there were also demons. Yes, there really are demons. Indescribable and most ugly things you had ever seen. They came up to me and taunted me. Yelling in my face, "We got you now!" Laughing at me saying, "We fooled you!"



"We fooled you!" "We got you now!" Followed by hideous laughter.

I found a Savior that took away all my strokes, back pain, brought back and restored my memory, enriched my life, and also took all my sins! He took all my sins and has forgiven me! It wasn't till about 4 years later that I could start talking about it to others!



In September of 1987, when I was at the Nazarene Bible College, I was in prayer and God came. He took me into another dimension and showed me the "lake of fire" and held me there! There were millions of people burning in the "lake of fire." Their bodies were whole but they were burning! It was awful! Horrifying! Screaming people! It was a fearful thing to see, but I was at peace, knowing that God had his hand on my shoulder. I didn't know what to think about that. So I just kept it in my thoughts and went to school the next day. After arriving home, I went again to the Lord in prayer, at 3:30 in the afternoon and he came again. This time he showed me the whole thing and showed me the edge of the lake of fire. There were people falling over the edge. People were right on the brink of the fire. He said to me, "You are going to pluck them out of hell. You are going to save them and pull them back over the edge with your testimony. You will get them before they go in."



There were hundreds of millions of them. What a fearful site! I remember writing it all down and asking, "Lord, where are all those people?" He told me they were all over the world. And I believe that in this day and age, God is going to use my testimony, and pluck them right back into existence and living for Jesus.







My wife and I went to a camp meeting in Henderson, North Carolina and went to a church while there, and the pastor asked me and my wife to speak and give our testimonies. I told them about me dying and going to hell.

After the service, there was this elderly gentleman, in the back who motioned me to his side. He told me he was 68 years old. He said, "I have been a church member here for 30 years. I have been on the board for 20 years. Ten years ago I died! I am very influential in the church. I was in a car accident. I was put in a body bag. I died and went to hell! I didn't tell anyone, that I died and went to hell! I was ashamed to tell anyone that I was sent there. Here I was a grandfather of this church!
