What Christianity teaches about Stingy people

Here is an image posing the dichotomy of miserliness and generosity

The bible says the stingy man is eager to get rich and does not know that poverty awaits him.

Most people think stinginess is about money but money is not the only thing you can be stingy about.

You can be stingy with your respect, your kindness, your compassion, your time, your helpfulness, your mercy, your forgiveness, your friendship and your relationships.

Stinginess isn’t always about hoarding wealth, it could be refusing to share your good fortune with others or a refusal to treat those less meritorious with respect and consideration.

If you refuse to give other people a chance to speak or get jealous when somebody gets higher grades then you, or drives a better car than you, or gets more attention and respect than you, then you are being stingy.

Jesus associated with the people in society that needed the most compassion, not the ones who had the highest income or the best looks. He broke all barriers both high and low while on earth, hating neither the very poor, nor the very rich, neither the attractive nor the ugly, because the refusal to love rich or poor for economic reasons are both signs of stinginess.

This is beautiful. No matter who we are, What we look like. The color of our skin. Or even what we believe. Or What we have.
We all only have so many days on our planet. We will never be perfect. And for me it's ok. As long as I understand. I am the light that I'm walking in to I shine bright. so others can see. and to shine bright as you do.. we are all finding our way. we might get lost. From time to time. but if you have faith and you believe. No matter what or how dark it gets some one like you one of Gods tools. No matter how far away. Will reminds us who we are. Will reminds us the choices we have made. To alway no matter how dim it might be follow. That light walk to it. Until you become it I have always said there is a reason we are all here. We have all made choice. Weather wrong or right. We are here to voice them we are all gather here helping each other walking in to the light.. I have watched so many people come here as a sad dirty. Racist punk. Ass bite. A liar A cheater.. someone lost. Someone that has only traveled in the dark. Has come here and has changed. Because if you words others words. Little by little we let the light in and then we become it. So I thank you for you being you and always being that light. . if you read this and if you can understand what I have said. You need to read it again. And then today shine bright give from within

I'm stingy with pie. I don't keep sweets in my house now but if we had pie in the house we'd have some... then the next morning when people woke they realize the pie had disappeared 😅

It should teach that Jesus said to feed the poor but he ment with the word of God not with food alone. I see more rich people in soup kitchens than any where else. Why?

I agree
