a. helping people because they need help and you need to help them.
I choose this because there is no guilt involved.

Definitely A. I think I'll use the words of Einstein for this:
"A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectively on sympathy, education and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
Can't say it better myself.

I think helping people no matter what really counts. Think of all the people that Jesus never knew that he died for. I would want to meet anyone that needs help in understanding the Bible and I would be happy to teach them it. That would be the greatest way to help someone.

Of course the answer is A. You should always help someone out of the goodness of your heart, not because you are worried about them being mad if you don't.

Defiantly the first. You should only do things for other people because you want to,and not because of any self gain or out of fear.

A- We should always be in line to help our brothers. Jesus drew no lines for the greatest commanmant of them all to love one another.
