Charity

Definition: Charity is never a verb. Charity is not prideful. Charity requires giving - with zero expectations - by providing spiritual and carnal needs when and where needed. Charity has no time constraint. Providing charity is a commandment of works for each member and the church herself. Love and charity are two different things in life and in the Bible. Perfection can only be accomplished with charity. The source of charity is Our Father. - Note: Charity occurs 28 times in 24 verses in the KJV. The NIV version has completely removed the commandment from all scriptures. The word “charity” is written only three times in the NASB and only once in the NSB, ESV, and RSV versions.
