This is really interesting. We've always been members of a church but we switched to a different church about 3 years ago and have hesitated to officially join as members because someone else shared this same info with us. Membership status, giving etc... could be shared with the government and others.

Hi Barbara!

And that the 'other side of the moon', the giving part. Our giving is solely between God and us, and no side perks to us. That is, our giving is to be pure appreciation and thanksgiving, not strings attached.

The Westminster Confession says that the sole purpose of Man is to glorify God. And I think it is question # one. Now that is a hard one to get one's hands around. And it took me awhile. But when we glorify anything other than God, we end up with governments that like to kill their own people, steal our work and wealth ... and lie, lie, lie day and night. And today? We find that 'they' the Dear Leader Cretins now want to gene edit our food and us along with it.

All glory to God and none other!

I think you are right. Contribute with green money. Same gift without identifying strings.

Tithing has nothing to do with money. The 10% they ask for is the 10% of the left side of your brain (the analytical side) that God wants us to move over to the right side in Meditation. So we have 100% on the right side which is where we are so concentrated on our 3rd eye. Please listen to Bill Donahue which he is from 11 years ago and he shows everything in scripture about the Pineal Gland which is our 3rd eye. Use your and look up that word and it’s in the Bible. So this is no new age junk. Which is what most people say. God Bless you.
