It was two sundays ago during sunday school service that this questn came on from me.. The teacher was reading the manual @ a time and he mention using of left hand to drop offering as one of the ways pple dishonour God without giving any biblical reference.....gbam, my hand was up almost immediately and i then i ask....what makes it a sin to drop the offering with the left hand? I wasnt satisfied with the answers given @ all because nobody was able to point to any biblical reference....and i can't relate with those explainatns as some of it raise more questns within me but no time. because of the nature of the topic, i've decided to bring it here for discussn and possible resolution. fellow children of God on nairaland, itz over to you....whats you take on that, pls? pls., athiests and non-christians, no insults or derailing on this thread...thanks |

hmmm...interesting topic! most pple just trasfer there cultural beliefs into Christianity without checking it up from the bible...itz possible that 60% or more Christians might have believed this to be a sin already without questn....this is a wake up call, pals...letz be familiar with our bibles. to me, the answer is NO NO(nt a sin) as the bible never discriminate against the left hand; it was given same power just like out right hand. mods, pls move this to fp and let every christains on nl learn. 1 Like |

Christianity can be traced to morality at times, respect in d house of God is very important. Some myt term DAT as arrogance y u see it as nothing, but I'll advice u, to just be conscious and put ur God in place of ur boss(even though ur God is greater) , u just AV to be morally inclined shallom. |

It is not stated in the Scriptures whether to use one's left or right hand. The problem here is moral. We believe we give to God when we give our offerings, particularly when it requires a basket and well conducted by the Pastor in Charge. Here is the code: If you were to give to an elder, would you do so with your left or right hand? Say your pastor asked you to help him pass his Sunday school manual during a class, would you do so with your left hand? Our parents; imagine being sent on errand and you hand over the content with your left, what do you think the reaction from them would be? In summary, there is a problem when we conveniently do to God the things we cannot do to men. Giving to God using one's left hand is an act of disrespect. 1 Like |

Sanchez01 can you please explain the rational behind what makes it a disrespect to man?...why did man frown @ that move in the first place?....my bro., if you check very well, you'll find out itz rooted in adolatary believe/superstition which the bible clearly frowns at... should we now be elevating culture above the teachings of the bible? |

And let me add, if dropping offering with the left hand is a controversial,then I suggest you stick with right. No use going to hell because of dropping with left. My thoughts and humble opinion. Shalom |

Kingmee:It is not affiliated with idolatry/superstition. It is common logic; the left hand does the disgustting things related to the body whereas the right is treated as the decent one. The left hand is believed to be the 'bad boy' because it is responsible for co-ordinating certain tasks I would not want to mention. Therefore, engaging that same 'filthy' hand in 'decent' day-to-day activities is a sign of filth on the user and also an act of gross indiscipline. People who do this are seen as uncouth. This is logic at work. You cannot engage it in public, even the left-handed folks are served and tongue lashed in public. This explains why the left hand is 'silent' in gatherings. And please, do not question it beyond this; it has been from time immemorial. |

Sanchez01 [/quote] wow!..nyc write up. you talk abt logic, reasoning and believe....pls., can you apply same logic to to a person using left hand?...what if you are lefthanded, bro?... lefthanded pple are created by God just lyk dat..it wasnt learnt but there brain dictates it so. Are seriously telling us that something is wrong with them? Bro., we have a culture/traditn that have discriminated, harrased, debased and insulted lefthanded pple and i'm saying itz ungodly and unbiblical and u re saying we shouldnt questn such culture and tradtn...and to even think we are raising such culture above the bible is uncall for, pls. think well, bro. |

I'm lefthanded and i'm a very proud one indeed. I grew up in a society that bash, insult, discriminate and abuse lefthanded pple from childhood and i'm no exemption. When i was teenager, i suffered from low self-esteem just coz of that untill i researched abt lefthanded pple...If you are like me, you are a special creation of God. The major functional part of ur brain is located on d right sight...but for right handed pple, theirs is on the left syd. Lefthanded pple arent abnrmal or evil or cursed, pls...let everybody get dat ryt! God created us as he created righthanded pple and they are never better than us...same power lies in the right and left hand. yes, our culture and tradition taught us something else but for Christ sake, itz nt biblical to attach wrong thing to the left hand...and letz nt try to raise culture abv d bible....i'm still waiting for any biblical explainatn to tell me otherwise sha...untill then, i remain resolute. seun, r231 , mynd44 , Freiburger, Afam4eva , Ikenna351 , OAM4J ...

I just want to ask them a simple question and I believe your answer gives you a clue about your relationship with God almighty, the king of kings and Lord of lords. Now the question: If you are invited to meet the king of England and you are designated to present him with a gift, which of your hands will you use? |
