Why do church people feel like they need to give evan if someone is taking advantage of them.?

Question

I know this guy Jeff He some times gos around asking for donations for His church I went to church with Him a few times out of pity. I was buying something to drink at the store and He walked in on what I thought was His normal happy self. It turns out He won 300 $ and was cashing a lottery ticket. He saw this lady counting change on the counter to pay and She had 2 kids with Her. Jeff told this lady some stuff about god and giveing and told Her to grab some stuff for the kids and he would pay. She kept grabbing stuff useing words like for my kid when She wold grab some thing. I stayed to wacht I knew he was geting taken for a ride and I wanted to watch. Jeff paid almost a hundred $ for all the stuff why are some people so giveing they get taken advantage of.

Answer 1

He still found it rewarding, and it was his choice. If she chooses to take advantage, let her answer for her actions later on in whatever way. Greed is self-destructive so if she carries on that way she could end up worse off anyway, who knows?

In the end, he was probably happy to give, and that's all that matters.

Answer 2

that is an interesting question.  I am one of those people.  I may be spirtialy but i don't think it has anything to do with it.  some of us are just dumb like that, for example my brothers shoe marks are all over me.  and i keep saying yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeessssssssss!  but for church people i think it is because they think they are getting a gold star next to there name for being dumb.

Answer 3

i don't think they realize they're being taken advantage of. I'm sure he realized after the fact... but some people just don't notice when someone's taking advantage of them until after they've had a chance to think it over.

Answer 4

u c it as being take advantage of, but he is helping the needy and God takes note of what he did and more importantly his motive.  Some Christians may have said something to her, I know a few that would have said you are taking advantage.  Likewise, God see the woman who took advantage of him and her motives. Remember this, no one gets away with anything, God sees all and know the heart for an action that appears to be good on the outside can be motivated by self promotion.

side note, people do know when they are being taken advantage of, but his motive were pure unlike hers.

Answer 5

Maybe because they are generally nice and good people? People like that do exist you know. The world isn't made up of jerks and aholes even though there are a lot of them.
