Christians: If it's better to give than to receive, what happens to those who receive?

Do the receivers go to hell? Or do they go to heaven, only with limited benefits (no dessert after dinner, etc.)? Are welfare recipients destined for hell? This question was once posed by the late George Carlin and has always intrigued me. I give generously, but should I refuse all gifts in the future? What if my mom sends me a batch of homemade cookies? Do I hurt her feelings by sending them back, or face eternal damnation?

    The reason it is better to give, then receive, because we are selfish, an we don't want to give, an if your a child of God, are kingdom is not of this world, but are kingdom is of another world, meaning are kingdom is of heaven, even though we are on earth for this moment in time, but soon, time will cease to exist, when God comes back to destroy the heavens an the earth by fire the second death, where the heavens an the earth shall be burned up, by the hell fires, im just paraphrasing it.
