How Did Mr. Epstein's Beliefs And Follow Their Teachings

349 Words2 Pages

1. When Mr. Epstein states that the “charity is a form of justice, to equal out of people around us that which they can 't do for themselves, for reasons which we never really understand. I believe he is explaining how people helps others and share their blessings when they have blessings beyond their needs. In the bible the book of 2 Corinthians 9:8 says that, “And God can give you more blessings than you need. Then you will always have plenty of everything- enough to give to every good work”. Also In the interview there is a portion that Mr. Epstein clearly state that the sages say that “the more you give, the more you will be blessed with being able to give more afterwards”. God wants us to share the blessing that he has given us to others. Helping others will never hurt anyone. It could be a blessing only. And probably it will be something that you can always think of and say that you have did something good in this life. When you do it others will see you and they do it that can promotes a social change in our society.

The mandate that "nobody was excused from giving" was not very surprising to me. Because we cannot force anybody to give things to others. If they have the heart to give they will give. I have seen people force others to donate for the poos. And they donate without wholeheartedly just because their friends forced them. I also grew up in a good Christian life and my parents have taught me that if I work and earn money the ten percent of the money should be given to god or helps others. And I give the money with wholehearted.
3. “The most perfect form of charity” is one that receives no praise and no thanks. Some people helps others for a recognition. Help others without expecting anything back .In the bible book of Luke 6:35 says “Blessed are they who give without expecting even thanks in return, for they shall be abundantly

    In the Gospel of Wealth article, Carnegie argues that the best way on helping society was to help improve people themselves. Carnegie did not believe that the rich simply give the money directly towards the poor. Instead, he wanted to set up intuitions for the poor to allow people to help there self. According to Carnegie, “ [T]he main consideration should be to help those who will help themselves; to provide part of the means by which those who desire to improve may do so...” (Carnegie, 1889).

  • You Read Clearing Paths To The Past 'And To Be Of Use,'

    While the people doing the helping know that they’re being nice, they don’t know that people like this writer are out there who see them and appreciate them for what they are. Once again, the helper is naive to the person watching them and has no idea that they really are appreciated. From these two passages we can learn that helping people is a good thing and has its benefits, even if the person that you’re helping doesn’t know you’re there. The man who shovelled his sidewalk for the students was unseen by them as they flocked to school, but he didn’t mind as he was content with watching their success from his window. The woman who wrote the second passage talked about her appreciation for people like the man in the first

    In one circumstance, we may feel the need to give to those who are poor to keep them from getting in our personal space; and in other circumstances we feel that we give to others out of the kindness of our heart. I completely agree with Ascher and her views on compassion, because I have been in similar situation where I have questioned why people give money, and whether they give with a whole heart or out of necessity. Furthermore, this essay can teach us plenty of lessons that can be utilized throughout our lives so we can teach others and make them aware of the need to be more

  • Was Jesus A Socialist Summary

    1666 Words  | 7 Pages

    The author advocates that while Jesus had compassion for the poor and disadvantaged, he did not advocate for socialist policies such as wealth redistribution or government control of the economy. Instead, Jesus' teachings emphasized personal responsibility and voluntary charity as means of addressing poverty. The biggest argument that the author highlights in this section is also that Jesus believed in individual responsibility. The author cites various passages from the Bible to argue that Jesus believed in personal responsibility and individual initiative. “I think it is clear that Jesus never intended for his message of charity and generosity to be turned into a political weapon or a governmental program."

    People enjoy being praised for the good acts they do. Whether it's baking a casserole for the church pot luck, giving money too the poor, or taking time out of your day to help out at a soup kitchen; everyone likes a little praise or reward for their good works. However, when it comes to God those things don’t matter; people will volunteer for their whole life but will not follow the word or will of God. This is not what God wants, he wants us to obey him more than give up sacrifice. Yet that can be hard because, obeying God does not come with automatic glory or acknowledgement.

    The way the poor see life embraces the idea that the truly poor are the rich of this world because they are full of ideas, whereas the poor are the truly rich in God’s eyes, because of their faith and the blessing they see God bestowing on them every day.” Jesus does not reject riches but a rich becomes the obstacle to following divine things. St Thomas held that “poverty is worthy of praise because by liberating man from earthly cares it allows him to concentrate more freely on the things

    Unfortunately, we live in a world today where finding a decent job can become stressful. The only concern I have for the helping approach is if the person takes advantage of the person donating the money. For example, if I first helped a person purchase a laptop and a newer version is released, they ask me again to donate money so they could get the newer laptop. If I had 200 dollars to donate, I would give the money to any family that need food or water. The reason I would do this is because every human deserves a meal and clean water.
