Christians control the religious money , and they think they control the honey; the salvation of humanity. They have a choke hold on religion and they will not let go. They want to drown unbelievers in their hell, but take their money first.
What is apparent is that you have chosen a subject in which you have little knowledge. It would benefit your own knowledge were you to try to get a grip on just exactly what tithes are used for in most all churches. The pastor of most churches draw a set salary. Most all churches are mortgaged to the hilt. Most all churches have electric bills, water bills, maintenance bills, lawn care bills, and support missionaries as well as community outreach programs.
Know your history.
Cyprian of Carthage was the first Christian writer to mention the misguided practice of financially supporting the clergy. He argued that just as the Levites were supported by the tithe , so should the Christian clergy; that is unbiblical , the Levitical system has been abolished, all believers are priest , so if a priest demands a tithe, all believers should tithe to one another. But Christians listen to their clergy more than they do their bible. Its a habit that will never be broken in this life.
More stupidity from you. Churches have expenses. These expenses and outreach programs have to be met. Many churches are closing because they cannot meet their expenses. Yes, a pastor's salary does usually come out of the tithes and offerings but so does the mortgage payment, the electric bill, and other expenses and programs. It has to come from somewhere, stupid.
I hold no need to call you names and insult you , those are Christian ways. By calling me stupid , you are showing the way of a Christian.
What's it feel like Christian , talking to someone who can see right through you?
Feels great to tell the truth. Try it sometimes. At least bone up on your subject.
What's it feel like , having your ways exposed? Having your church exposed?
