As the present owner, will it be wrong to do so? What
does the Bible say.? I am free of guilt in this "suspect"
origin of the wealth. I have heard it said "Every great
wealth has a crime behind it"

If you are now the genuine owner of this wealth, wherever it came from, if you make a Divine Offering with it, then it will justify it coming into your possession in the first place. I really believe that this money was meant to come to you for this purpose. If it can do good, then it doesn't matter where it came from. It was meant to be.

That is for you to answer. Do you feel that making a "Divine Offering" will clear you of the guilt that owning this money implies? Should you not turn to the money and return it to it's points of origin and make amends to those that it had been taken from?
Knowing the origins of the money and keeping it still, does make you an accomplice if you do not try to return it from where it came.

First of all do understand that the creator of the universe has no use for your money even if you decide to make a divine offering. He who owns every thing he surveys would not want your money. If indeed you want to repent for your "suspect" wealth do donate it to our less fotunate bretherens. May be that way HE will accept your offering of this money.

Hello Ard,
I don't think God needs your money, because everything is ultimately his anyway and it will all reconcile to him eventually. Its very hard to see what the Bible will say about this as you haven't given much info away to start with. I don't think you can placate God with offerings of dosh though. Why dont you just give somthing to someone because you want to and not because you may have guilt. OHHHHH BOG I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO PUT!!!!!!!!!! errrrrrrrrrrrm anyhow GOD DON'T NEED YA DOSH. give more information,,,,,,,, AND GIVE ME CHOCOLATE NOW!!!!!
Errrrrrm are you really pip from Great Expectations?

Put it to good use, an orphanage in romania, sinking wells in africa, shelter for people displaced after the tsunami etc. the list is endless, get involved in a good charity. Good luck!

In His infinite mercy, God is prepared to make exceptions for large sums of cash.

If it lawfully belongs to someone else then you should give it back. If it has come to you legitimately then make the offering, God can use bad to do good.

No. It is definitely not proper. However, if you donate the whole lot to charity, that will be commendable.
