Lets say that you have been attending a church regularly and you have always donated money to them. And they love the fact that you are giving them money.
Now lets say you started a famous gay porn site, and the church new about it, and the website was your only source of income, so the money you gave to the church was from the sale of gay pornography, would the church care? Especially if you were giving them like $20,000 every sunday. Would they let you still attend the church or kick you out?

If a legitimate church knew
where the money came from,
they could not accept it.
It is "dirty" money and nothing
good can come from "dirty"
money. if the church did not
know, they would be absolved
since they didn't know.
Whoever gave the money
would never be blessed for
it and in fact, to knowingly
give dirty money to the Lord
is very dangerous. He will
bless it back to you, BUT
it will be multiplied and the
same kind of money that you
gave. If you give GOOD, you
receive good. If you give
filth, you receive filth. To give
God filth is an abomination
to HIM, and He will show you
what filth is really all about.
I guess I must tell you a TRUE story. there was a woman in a church who pretended to be super-spiritual to gain celebrity status, or power, or
whatever and she gave dirty
money to a ministry.
This money was gotten by
marrying the dying man(illegally) she
was being a care-provider
for and purposely hastened
his death to inherit everything
he had. She gave a large
portion of this money to the
ministry. She was found out
and went to jail for a long term
and the ministry was disbanded in humiliation.

Dude, this questions shows a lack of understanding of what goes on at a church. They see their success as a church as a direct result of God's intervention... "God's blessing."
If they found out the source of the funds, they if they continue to accept the cash, they'll believe that God will remove His blessing because they're in rebellion to His will, and that will cause the church to implode.
But if the reject the money, they might consider it a test, and they would be eager to pass that test.
Of course, those "faux-churches" that only pretend to be Christian in order to get the "pastor" a nice mansion and yacht... well, that's a different story.

I think they will take it, money is money. Even if a prostitute donate a $10.-
At least it's to wipe off their sin. Like a scale, has to be balance. LOL

yes, it does. If it knows that the money came from a sin or something , it would be obligated to not accept it. This is not what all the time happens but, this is what is supposed to happen according to doctrine.

The Catholic Church will take money earned by any means - and then they will admonish you and make you repent after they have it.

Nope, it would be obvious that they would take it.
I think any normal person on the Earth would accept it.
