None. I gave God my offering today because I love him though. I didn't give the CHURCH anything. I give it to GOD. the church just gets to keep the lighs on. Not tithing is Robbing God. Malachai 3:8 But you shudl tithe because you love God. that was the problem between cain and Able. Cain gave God just any old fruits and he didn't give from the heart. But Abel gave his very best with ALL his heart. Cain gave just soemthing because it was EXPECTED. Genesis 4:3 He had the same attitude YOU have. He thought God was suckering him. Abel had the same attitude I have. I love God. Therefore I give. It doens't matter that the Church gets to keep the lights on. God provides for the church. He simply uses the christians to do it. It's all about your attitute. One more thing: This is a matter between christians and God. This falls under verse 6:6 Where is talks about prayer in secret. If prayer itself is secret why would a christian talk aobut offering to God on the internet? Come meet God! Go to church with a christian friend the next time you are invited or look up a local church int he phone book or a local one online!They would LOVE to have you!!!!

Our culture is loaded with scams. Indeed there are churches out there, that are operated by people who are not really spreading the word of God ... but exploiting religion for finacial gain. Shame on them and God will deal with them on their day. The people who give to churches are beleiving they are helping a real church. Their heart is in the right place. The bible does command that we give the first 10th (10%) of what we earn to our church.

Have you repented of your sins yet and reciecved Christ as your Lord and Savior?
Jesus said: " I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me".- Jesus
" I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live ; and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die". - Jesus (Jn. 11:25)
" Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved". (Acts 4:12)
" God is patient and longsuffering, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance".
God Bless You! And Happy Eternity!

Nothing. I used to donate every Sunday to the pedophile defense fund of the Catholic church, but not anymore.
