Between "Offering" And "Tithe" by KingOfAmebo(op):
I still dont understand why some churches are hell bent on "tithing" and less focus on "offerings" which is even more important.

Which is more important? The money you collect to further expand the ministry and used to help the needy or the money you collect and it goes straight into your pastors pocket.


If you want to give every Sunday in church you can give an " offering " an offering is used for the further expansion of the ministry and used to help the needy (including the pastor) that's if you don't want to go to orphanages yourself, with the "offering" you can give up to any amount you can and not subjected to give a certain percentage... you can even give everything you have if that's what suit you.

A 'tithe' (that monthly 10% enslavement fee) on the other hand goes straight into the "Pastors" bank account and he can chose to give to the poor or decides to buy another shinny "private jet' the " Free money" belongs to him and not to God.

Bottom line, If you want to really give to God and you are sceptical about how the Church will spend your money (judging from the overwhelming list of fake churches around) it is better you give to the poor directly, help the helpless directly, give scholarships directly, help your neighbors directly, feed those in hunger directly, or setup an NGO if you have the funds.... The bible which is the word of God never made it mandatory to give "through" the church if you must help someone.

I support giving of "offering" and highly unapologetical against "tithing"
