what would happen if no collection was taken at religious gatherings..would a god intervene and keep it going?

Question

what if no money taken up or any hats / coffers passed around

would money for heat / shelter magically pour in from heaven?

10 pts to the person who correctly quotes

"all beggars teach that others should give"

Answer 1

if people stopped giving money it means that they lost their faith or just dont care and with out faith or concern god/ religion is pointless and obsolete.

the people continue the religion (or church) not god....

analogy think if there were no workers in a factory. . .

Answer 2

No, money would not magically appear. God established a way to provide for the ministers and for the costs of the services and maintainance of the buildings.

If no collection were taken that would mean that the services are out of order. Tithes and offerings have always been a part of worship ordained by God.

The tithe (10%) of our profits belongs to the Lord. The Lord gives the tithe to the ministers.

Leviticus 27:
30And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.

32And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

Numbers 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

So a person pays the tithe to God and God ordains that the ministers recieve the tithe. The tithe is for the personal use of the ministers.

There was a separate offering for the maintainance of the house of worship.

Exodus 30:16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

Answer 3

That is possible, although not likely. God would use other means to get the bills paid if He wanted that ministry to continue to operate. He could cause people like you to give to the ministry by you and others like you sending checks through the mail service to the ministry in need. Never underestimate what God will do to see to it that those serving Him get the money they need.
There is a possible under tone here that might suggest that there is a belief that such organizations shouldn't be getting money to remain open to begin with. With that in mind, by what cause should you receive money to keep your way of life operating. You can't possibly be so important to the world that it would pay you for anything that you might be doing.

Answer 4

I am not sure what would happen but I do know that it is directed by God in the bible for his people to tithe. To not tithe would be disobeying God. There are always consequences for disobedience but I am not sure what would happen. Even if there was not a portion of a religious ceremony dedicated to a collection or offering I believe that obedient christians would still tithe to the church through some other means.

Answer 5

no, people would learn to pool resources. Teachers can't help but teach and leaders can't help but lead.

Perhaps pastors who worked for a living would appreciate the good will offerings of poor & faithful single mothers and elderly & those on fixed incomes. Perhaps the pastors rent would be the same as everyone else's and not two to three times more than the average citizen of the church.

Perhaps.

Answer 6

God will always will be there ,even when we go out in the field to worship.
But you have a point,we rather come together in a hall and that cost money.
God makes us responsible for the cost . But the reward is this you come together with friends.
And hope you hear the message"love on another"

Answer 7

The Biblical way is to rely on voluntary contributions.
"Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7

Answer 8

No, it wouldn't. People who decide to form a congregation and build a church assume the responsibility of paying for its upkeep. It would be pretty lame to expect God to provide money for a decision that a person has made.

Answer 9

Malachi 3
6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 7Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? 8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Answer 10

No. God provides, so if earthly beings did not see fit to be generous, some other provision would materialize. Seen it happen, have no doubt.
