Question

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing

Answer 1

we are to give charity to the poor many times through the year and it depends on the income and wealth.
we also give the poor believe it or not many of the poor give the poor imagine. those are the righteous and the wicked such as the greedy rulers of many of the middle east politicians will have to face Allah on the day of Judgment for all that they have done.

Answer 2

I worship Yahweh, the Creator and we give to the Church of our choice because it is used for His Glory.
It does not go to our Pastor, we have several of them plus school, nursery, mission and more to support.
Our Church is part of the local community so we rise above the world to maintain a good report.

It does not have to be 10%, some cannot pay that, those on SS or other reasons. I am not convinced of the 10% of Old Covenant is for today, but do believe we are blessed by our giving.

You do not have very good references if you believe we give to Pastor. That is TV mentality, not reality. It is NOT his Church, it is G-ds'. It is a place we go to seek refreshment from the daily toils of life.
Also, we play together......we have a great area for recreation.
We are a family, the family of our L-rd Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
The Church is not a building, really, it is a body of Believers.

I believe in the G-d of Abraham, the last days, angels and the KJV Word of G-d. I do not worship prophets, they were human as I am. We should only worship G-d, the Creator.

We do all the "good works" you mentioned, what makes you think we are heathen? You don't know those who walk the walk and talk the talk. Do not compare all so-called Christians with those who have a heart for holiness.

I do not believe all so-called Muslums are terrorists. Why would I think that? Just because you teach to kill the Christians and Jews to make yourselves holy? Because you would die for your Allah?
I do not believe that all of you believe there is nothing we would die for. Your leaders teach that.

I tell you the truth............we do not at first follow G-d because we love Him, we follow Him because He is Holy and our Creator, because He sent His son to us, we deserve Hell, yet He took our place.
WE ARE TO FOLLOW HIM ........... BECAUSE HE DESERVES TO BE FOLLOWED.

The end of all being is the Glory of G-d.......not! the happiness of man....
we fool ourselves otherwise...........and should be called fools if we think Heaven is for OUR happiness....It's for His Happiness.

He wanted a family, now He has one whether He likes it or not. lol

I give quilt tops to be quilted by the women of the church, and sent to needy people.Any church near me doesn't need any more money.

Answer 4

You have the God given right to believe what you want to believe, but, don't insult our intelligence. There are at least some of us out here who know better.

Answer 5

Where and why people give their money is between them and God...you certainly are not the judge..only God is.

the 10 % giving indirectly is so no one can boast " I did this"
