Comments on: Be Careful when you see the name “Christian” http://www.moneyhelpforchristians.com/careful-name-christian/ Frugal, Simple, Debt-Free Living, and Generous Giving Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:06:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Craig http://www.moneyhelpforchristians.com/careful-name-christian/comment-page-1/#comment-14667 Craig Mon, 23 May 2011 17:12:06 +0000 http://www.moneyhelpforchristians.com/be-careful-when-you-see-the-name-christian/#comment-14667 Robbie, Thanks for your comment. In life it is always too easy to say what others should or should not be doing with their lives. Perhaps the responsibility is on us to help make funds available for those who we think would benefit from his program. The problem for most people is not that they don't have $100 to spend. It is that they are spending it on the wrong things and the wrong places. When we see the value in something we will make an effort to pay what is necessary. I'm guessing if someone wrote Ramsey a nice letter with a detailed account of their budget that he would give it to them for free if they wanted to go through his class. I don't know that for a fact, but I'm just guessing. Robbie,
Thanks for your comment.

Most families who have never been taught financial rules and regulations and are in dire need cannot afford $100-$150 for this kind of info. Seems he could lower the price significantly to make his teachings more affordable. God has blessed Dave with a lot of gifts and money, as a Christian shouldn't he spread it around? He will not spend the funds he has amassed in this lifetime, shouldn't he spread it around? Don't give people a fish....teach them to fish! Hello:

When seeking a Christian lawyer or other professional or service, one needs to perform his or her due diligence to verify that: (1) The person or business is truly a Christian; and (2) That they have the knowledge, experience, and skill to handle the matter. If the service provider is truly a Christian, and advertises as such, he or she should be happy to answer such inquiries. Be especially cautious when a secular organization seeks to refer you to a "Christian" lawyer, profession or service. There are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

I hope it's mostly a righteous anger, but it burns me up. But I think we know that God will reward those who have been faithful, and those who have abused His name and His Son in an effort to rip off His children will be guilty of a greater condemnation. I just try to honor Him in what I do and trust He'll take care of the charlatans.

For nearly a year I actively fought a mortgage scam called "Money Merge Account." One of the issues I fought was the fact that the sellers were instructed to sell it through their church contacts. The tie-in to religion was so strong, some people were claiming the founders of the program were "divinely inspired." Accusing me of going to war with the Lord. Affinity fraud is something all people need to be aware of. It's not just impacting Christians. Madoff, the largest Ponzi schemer of all time is Jewish, and scammed his own people as well. Not just Doctors and Lawyers, but Jewish charities as well. Too bad. .-= JoeTaxpayer´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Joetaxpayer/~3/oRfmsIs0e-M/" rel="nofollow">Is Your House an Investment?</a> =-. Indeed.
