Quote:How is it selfish to give with no guarantee of being repaid?

That you do not expect physical repayment is good. That you do not follow the eye-for-an-eye philosophy of the old testament is also good. Smile

That you give only because you expect to be lavished in an afterlife...? You expect eternal happiness in heaven, do you not? And by following "Christ's Path" you will attain such. The question becomes this: are you giving to follow Christ into heaven...? Or are you giving out of goodness?

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

Where the dear and the strangers can play

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

But the skies are not stormy all day
