you've heard of the collection plate right?
an unrelated note:
the roman catholic church has enough money to cancel third world debt.

Think of it this way...churches are selling a product (eternal salvation, everlasting life, etc) which is something that no one can be 100% sure of. If you came across an Ebay ad for an invisible force that would guide your life and be with you forever, even after you die, would you be willing to pay for that? I dont see any difference in that when people give churches money.

I would say it depends on the church and if they have open accountability.
If they are honest and doing the Lords work with the money, they will show you where it is going.
Hope that helps!

Some churches do, other churches don't. We have many types of churches here. Many false churches.

Some do, others are very open about their financial records.
