All I did was point out the fact that there are some churches who are against the lotto/gambling
but do their own form of lotto (raffle/bingo) and taking peoples money promising them a return.
(twisting scripture) Give 10% of your income (tithe) and God will give you a 100 fold return (Mark 4:20)
is what I always seen preached in the church and it simply does not happen. I tithed for 11 years!!
Please don't pretend you know me, I do GIVE.
All I'm saying that we are under a new covenant you GIVE to the church, you no longer have to tithe and
your local church does not replace the temple. Nothing wrong with GIVING to the church to help out with
expenses.
I am also confused as to why you think I'm hostile towards Chritianity when I simply pointed out the
hypocrisy in some churches. I wouldn't know if it's popular to hate Christians, you tell me, I'm not into hating.
By the way this thread is not about "the other guys", dead babies, donkeys, Planned Parenthood and
anything else you want to pull out of the air, again this thread is about the Christians who don't agree with
the lotto, not Christianity as a whole.
