It's supposed to keep the church operational, not line the pastor's pockets.
Mega Churches always have and always will be dogshyt.
Rural Churches be needing that money.
This goofy motherfukker, and many others mega church pastors like him, are just fleecing the congregation.
I came to this conclusion years ago. It's what made me leave the church altogether.
This might be the stupidest shyt I've ever heard. You think your money is gonna transcend time/space and dimensions? lolIt's say..GOD I recognize all the blessings, money I have is because of you..and thus I choose to honor you by giving a portion of that up back to you.
Deuteronomy 15:7-11This might be the stupidest shyt I've ever heard. You think your money is gonna transcend time/space and dimensions? lol
What use would an all powerful being that made the whole universe, have for the paper or metal or we use to trade and barter with?
I get that some ppl like the community aspect of church, or that faith helps them to try and be a better person or find comfort in loss, but the willing stupidity a lot of religious folks buy into is just astounding
7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
