Bible Note: Greetings Robin! I think the problem with the WOF dogma is that they turn God's generosity into a law that He MUST follow. They would have us believe that if I give 10.00, God then must give me 1,000.00. However, I note that the TV evangelists who hold to this particular doctrine do not send me 10.00. If their understanding is correct, would not God then give tham a 1,000.00. :-) God definitely blesses a cheerful giver. We definitely cannot outgive God. But, there is not set percentage that God is bound to, nor is it necessarily true that all of our blessing will be financial. A true Christian should give out of love for God, not for financial gain. p.s. - Welcome to the forum! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
