Why is giving so important?

[bilal]

^ well....we better not mix needy people with greedy ...should we.......if every one starts looking at needy people as greedy..........this givin and all might just become all messed up...han

......if everybody had a long life dream of giving so much there is truly no chartiy big enough for it...so we can pray for others who give freely in stuff with out no desire for reward except to give more .....As Far As The Rest There Like LUNAR Shadow Talks About...But Know That GOD Reaches Those In Need And Rather They Give It Freely...Or Not Give It Freely And Give Freely And Expect A Reward They They Just Cant Phatom Or Give 20 When..... The Good Lord Says Give All You Have....There Is All Kinda Giver Out There And The Lord Knows Theme All, But The NEED Is Always Giving By Whos Ever Hands On Where It Needs To Go ...So we Cant AS Much Look At That Give,er Because A perfect GIVER Is Few ...But Most Of All We Must Pray That The Ones Are Who In NEED There Needs Shall Be Met By Whoever THE LORD..... USES ..AMEN ......For instants ....I know People Who Have Not At all Gave Freely they Only Felt As if They Had to Amen....BUT THE LORD KNEW THE NEED AMEN. And It Was Met

If giving is important, than taking is equally important, because if noone's taking than you cannot give.
So greedy people who only want to take stuff are vital according to Christianity?

That has got to be the flat-out stupidest thing anyone has ever said. You're an idiot. Posting just to piss people off doesn't take much intelligence. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus said that it is better to give than to recieve, but recieving is
obviously necessary for Christianity, because the whole Faith is founded
on Grace. We cannot pay for our own sin, so Jesus had to take that upon Himself. Greedy people are not necessarily vital to Christianity, but needy people are. Read at least one of the "gospels" (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) if you want to know more, it doesn't take that long to read. If you're just trying to be obnoxious, then please just quit.

I disagree, it is not true that "man created his own longing for a need for more" it is a God-given desire, ie, a desire for God, a desire for love, a desire for your loved ones to be safe, etc.

Actually, Jesus said "There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" how is that being The Anti Giver???

He said to give to Ceaser what is Ceaser's. That has nothing to do with
destroying the concept of money.
