Hi guys I just want to ask you if Its a sin on begging help? Just today, I wrote some of the members here that are listed on my friendslist. Im asking them a little help on the project that im gonna be doing these christmas. This project is to give poor kids happiness and a little cure of their diseases. Because living with a seriuos disease is really discouraging, But i already passed that stage. Im asking them to join under me on a site that has a contest and can give me enough money to save and to invest on online business by winning this contest. Because, I just promised myself that all of my earnings here will proceed to my project. I just wanna be Santa this christmas. Just hoping that somebody would join me here and knows what is my purpose. So guys, please tell me, "IS IT A SIN, ASKING HELP?

I think it is a sin when we do something wrong, I think begging is not a sin.

if you honestly need a help, i dont think askng for help is a sin. after all, god even said so himself ASK and it shall be given to you. :)

No its not,asking for help is one way of saying that you want to extend your hand to other people and make them happy.Helping other people is one of our responsibilities if we really care to others,but not all of the people can help in terms of money.What i mean is we can help in many ways like in prayer we could pray for them if we can't help through finances,encourage the others and many more.We should take the opportunities if we have.

Not at all. In fact I think its sin if one who is in desperate need of help does not ask for any for he/she would not be doing justice to him/herself as it would making situation deteriorate for that person. To ask for help and offering help is simply a human nature which is nothing wrong at all, unless he's begging for help to do something bad.
