Charitable giving does indeed have it’s non-monetary rewards, as it is more blessed to give than receive, but as a responsible husband and father that money should be going toward the well being of his family at this time especially if they are struggling to meet the basic necessities of life (according to their means of living).
It should also be used to pay for the illegal internet access that the gentleman is receiving from next door?
And we are not talking about GIVING here concerning this gentleman, we are discussing the often abused practice and teaching of TITHING one’s income to an organization at the expense of their own household which is very sternly taught in most religious organizations.
Most of this money never reaches the people in real NEED but finances bigger buildings to compete with the other denominations down the street. Tithing is the catholic equivelant of indulgences and if you would like to start a discussion concering the history of these practices and the host of scriptures unduly used to support them, I would be glad to do that in another area with anyone interested
Go ahead and start the new topic if you would like….
