Am I A Saint If I Do This? by Martinez19(m): 10:22pm On Jan 31, 2019 |
Suppose I went to Seun, HardMirror, Hahn and HopefulLandlord to collect huge sums of money and I told them that the money is meant to cater for the poor under my care, I would be a good person without a doubt. Suppose they gave me the money, which is tens of millions of dollars, and instead of giving the money to the poor under my care and helping them, I decided to give it to my church and pastors (well to do), do you think I should be called a good person or a fraud? ![]() Suppose my supporters, despite knowing this, insist that I am still a good person and I am justified because it's not my duty to take care of the poor and I, at least, did something good for them, would you think they are insensitive and stvpidly biased given that it's exploitative to take the poor under your wing and raise money on their behalf only to not spend on them in the end? "at least I thought about the poor and took the poor under my wing" my stvpid supporters would say ![]() ![]() "but it's not my duty to take care of the poor, give me some credit for trying at least" my supporters would say but if it's not my duty to take care of the poor, why would I voluntarily take them under my care and raise funds for them? Na who send me message? ![]() How could I be a friend of the poor if I believe that their suffering is a good thing and a gift from god? Despite all I have done, am I a saint? ![]()

As long as you give me my own share and interest from the money I first gave you then you are a good person in my book ![]() 1 Like |

Your hypothetical supporters are insensitive. How on earth will you raise money on their behalf and not using the money for the main purpose of raising it?. As far as you consciously know that it is wrong then you ain't saint even if the gullible supporters couldn't see through.. 1 Like 1 Share |

Omooba224: MOTHER THERESA COMES TO MIND. CATHOLICS CELEBRATE THE DEAD CROOK AS A SAINT FOR BEING A MOTHER AND CARE GIVER TO THE POOR... NOT KNOWING THAT THE WOMAN WAS WORSE THAN EVIL. HITLER WAS BETTER IF YOU LEARN OF THIS WOMAN OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC BOOKS. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Actually different people have taken advantage of the charity process to fulfill other agendas. What is particularly egregious when it comes to christians is that they sell themselves as the most altruistic meanwhile they have agendas just like everybody else. 1 Like 1 Share |

You are asking if you were saint? You are better than saint. You are wise. Please enjoy your money. You used your brain to collect money from mumus on behalf of other poor mumus. Just like mumu Jesus. 2 Corinthians 8:9 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. Now your own mumu starts when you give that money to a church. Churches are wise and only the worst mumus give them money. Now the best wisdom for enjoyment comes from Satan. God gives with one hand and takes with the other. Ecclesiastes 6:2 2 God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil. Satan will not give you riches as if you are a child but will give you wisdom gather riches and enjoy it contrary to God. |

CAPSLOCKED:I tell you CAPSLOCKED! Just like the so called prophet of Islam did some despicable acts. He maimed, murdered his people all in the name of his religion, the Islamic book wrote nothing about those acts. Guess what? His followers still believe he is the most sin-less human being that has ever lived!.. |
