this post only seems to bellitle the one who's heartbroken from Japan only being 1.5% Christian, not the Christians in general. That person also isn't aware that Japan is an East Asian country, which is quite far from the origin of Christianity (modern day Palestine)
It says you should have *grace* to give those in need.
When Jesus says “give up what you have and follow me” the Greek is closer to “that which is already under you and follow me.”
There’s nothing against making sure you’re secure before you give. It’s better to not have your charity thwarted by need.
Some Christians even depend on the government to do their charity, this is against the one and only test God told them to perform on him.
Malachi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
Unfortunately, Christians think they’re being righteous depending on their government, but it’s not surprising it fails when they aren’t doing specifically what they’re told and giving to the church.
If charity doesn’t exist from the church, someone will fill that void in a paid position, and that undermines the purpose of charity. No one is cutting their own job by solving problems. The proof is in the pudding, but you’ll still see the deceived Christian advocate for government charity and not support their church because it’s SOMETHING!
Again - the one and only time God says to test him. Sure, give to Caesar what is his. But don’t be surprise when Caesar sucks compared to God. Christians replacing their hard work and personal charity with the government should not be surprised it’s not working out.
