Question by Cat’s Eye Angie: where in the bible does it say to give 10% of our money to the church?
or was that just made up by the church?
and for what use does God need money? To help the preachers build mega churches? buy fancy jets? to buy lexus’ and rolex’s?
calley: but where does it state that the 10% HAS TO BE MONEY, CASH, PESOS, etc.?
Why not just give 10% of your time, help a neighbor, a friend, even a complete stranger
do those things not count towards that 10%?
Tomk: Watch christian tv sometime and you’ll see the jets and rolex’s
Jesse Duplantis i believe has a lexus and two jets.

Yeah… and the NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, NASCAR, Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Phillip Morris, Nike, Barnes & Noble, Hollywood Video, Sean John, Paris Hilton, Lil Wayne, Dixie Chicks, Sony, Nintendo, Apple, Canon, Kodak, Microsoft, MGM, Taco Bell, McDonald’s, OutBack, O’Neal, Levi Strauss, Nike, Skechers, your local tat parlor, bar, nightclub, hairdresser and tanning salon are all about “benevolence”… I guess that’s why you’re not overly concerned with them running the world and getting in your pocket…
Let me see… if I’m lower middle class and make $ 30,000 a year and give 10% to a church or ministry of some sort, that’s… HOLY MACKEREL… $ 3000 in a YEAR!
That’s got to be at least ONE-THIRD less than what someone spends on one carton of cigarettes every week for a year! Or ONE-THIRD less than what someone might spend on a six-pack of beer every day for a year!!!!! UN-STINKIN-BELIEVABLE!! (Gosh! I sure hope that person isn’t buying a carton of cigs AND those sixers of beer in the same week… that would really screw up the amount they spend on their charitable donations!)
