Are you being scammed?

Question

Many scams have a common theme. A promise of great riches. Yet, there is always an excuse or a reason why you have to give some of your own personal money. You give and give and give in order to get the imaginary promised prize. How much money have you been scammed out of?

If you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any other religion who asks you for money watch these videos and explain to me how the scam is any different?

Is the promise of heaven the greatest scam of all time?

Athiest what do you think?

Please star if you find this interesting.

Paul if you watch the videos you will see they too had no obligation to give. They wired their money under their own free will.

Actually, Christianity does have Obligation and I am sure Muslim does too. I have heard preachers more or less say you are going to hell if you don't give. They not only put a guilt trip on them but threatened with the fire of hell if they didn't give. Many people gave under duress. In allof the scams (to my knowledge) on this website there was no violent threats for not sending money.

Awe Old Man, I see you have your sticky little fingers in the collection pot. What will I do? The bible never says to give to wealthy obese over indulgent people. I will use my talents to do the lords work. That's what I will do.

When God asks you what you did with his money, will you reply? "I gave it to an obese preacher with an insanely large salary who ate it all."

Sweet_su... A perfect example of the scam. God is love and is all powerful, yet needs my money and will burn me with fire if I don't give it. Yeeeah. If your God needs my money then he can't be very powerful. Tell him to pick on someone his own size. I don't give in to bullying.

Matt, oh Matt... If you only knew. I spent so many nights pouring over the Bible. I would read it with such detail as if it were my soul. Don't judge me. I practically had a good portion of the bible memorized. It's a scam. No different than the ones on that site. I am not saying there is not a God. I am not saying I don't have faith... However my God doesn't need my money. He provides for me. Does your father ask you for money? Please. I do believe in charity work. I don't believe in giving your money to con artists. This is an example of a bad stewart.

Start with the video Julia Melton. It is the classic heaven scheme.

Answer 2

Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and if you don't believe anything that he has written in the Holy Bible, and you think it's all a bunch of lies, then you will surely not be going to the heavenly gates of heaven. How dare you ask if the promise of heaven is the greatest scam of all time? There isn't one Christian Church out there that asks for money except for your regular gift every week towards general funds, or missions. Then some of the other organizations, like the Lutheran Hour, or these church programs on TV will ask you for money in order to get a book or gift of some kind. You have this all confused man. Go to a Christian church and you'll believe the truth once you start going a lot. I don't miss church a single Sunday, and I've gone to at least 6 Bible studies already in the last 5 yrs. I used to sing in the Junior choir, and Senior choir, and taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. All children of God from infant age and on up want to hear about Jesus' wonderful miracles. If you truly believe this then you surely won't be getting into heaven. I know an atheist is someone who doesn't believe any of the faiths that are preached. You need to sit down, and reevaluate your life man, because if you don't you'll surely die and go to hell, which is a burning fire pit, and Satan will only like it that you had to go down there.

Answer 3

Yes, you are right, a lot of religions are only interested in money and they will promise anything you want to hear to get it.....Jesus said to his disciples to give freely, as they were given the promises of God freely. No one can buy their way into heaven, it has to be earned by faith in God and by doing his will and there are only a small amount of people who go to heaven, Rev. chapter 7 and 14., If you notice in both chapters it gives the # of those who will be of the anointed brothers of Christ, but in Rev. 7 verse9 talks about a great crowd, which no man can # Believe it or not, these will live on the earth, in paradise, after all the bad are destroyed. Gods promise at the time of eden, with Adam and Eve, has not been forgotten, his paradise earth will still be realized for us all, as long as we do his will...Read John 17 ;3...psalms 37, 10&11..tells it all....When some one comes to your door,ask them what you want to know and they will give you straight answers from your Bible and they give free Bible studies...and they won't ask you for money and you will find the truth and the truth will set you free, Jesus says.may you find the answers you are looking for...Zoee.

Answer 4

Perhaps a little education is in your future ? You obviously are an outsider of the faith community demonstrated by your ignorance of religion. Tell you what ?? Why don't you actually read the very text's you have shown such a disdain for. I am not being scammed..... but its pretty understandable how a person who probably knows nothing about these things could be misinformed and easily drawn to false conclusions. I invite you to perhaps do a bit of research before posting such non-sense.

God wants our hearts and how we show that is sacrificing part of what is ours to him. Did you ever read about Issac and Abraham ? Its a perfect example of God asking us to give to him to test how far we will go for him. But ! In our everyday lives he may not be asking us to sacrifice our first born but he still wants our best. We tithe to him for that very reason.

Answer 5

l would never subscribe to any religion which demands money. My first experiences with the Buddhist groups l attended many years ago now, really impressed me, as l was never asked for a penny. You could give if you wanted or not if you didn't. Obviously someone had to pay for any expenses so the people who could -would..........but it was purely voluntary. [Buddhists are of course Athiests by definition]

Answer 6

At the end we will know for sure. What will you do if it's not?

Sir. My hands aren't in the cookie jar. I was answering the promise of heaven, not for trade of money, but for the scam of heaven in itself. Those that do offer anything for money are worse than those in the video.

Answer 7

I've never been such a sucker as to fall for any scam,there's no such thing as something for nothing that involves money.
As to the promise of heaven I honestly don't know .

Answer 8

Most Christians and the other religions you mentioned don't request money from the faithful unless they want to give it freely and with no obligation.
