(in English) You are missing the point. Why shouldn't we donate?" If the theme title is "donation," then that should be the focus, right? I would like the message to focus on the hearts of those who donate. I don't think it is a healthy way to make a message video by shifting various issues. Are you conveying the same kind of unkind message to the people of the United States? I think the message about salvation is so important that it could be shared well in a separate video without daring to say anything about it here. Which do you want to convey more, about donations or about salvation? If you are aware of that, I think it will be easier for unbelievers to understand.

@@ryoku4649 "Which do you want to convey more, about donations or about salvation? " The problem is that a lot of people see their works as means to a salvation. The easiest "work" one can do is donate to a church. A lot of people give donations either so they can "earn" God's favor or so they can feel relief from guilt, which is not something the bible teaches. There are also those that donate because they feel obliged to do it. If someone has those feelings, then they ought not to donate! It would do no good! (like how we learn in 1 Co 13 that actions without love are empty) St. Paul teaches in Galatians 3 that we should look back on by what means did we receive the Spirit. So even he resorts back to the day of salvation (the day they received the Spirit through faith). This video does the same thing: it takes the focus someone has, donations, and changes it to what really is important: that you accepted Jesus as your savior and received the washing of the Spirit. Once you have this clearly in your mind, than you start to realize that you are free to donate and to not donate. Being free from the obligation of donating (from the law), now you can happily donate by gratitude and love (by the Spirit).
