(3,335 posts)As a black woman, it is my belief that anyone who lives this large off of 'selling' the word of God is a con artist. And this particular con artist claims to be operating in the red. I expect that Hell will be full of pastors who preached the prosperity gospel while on earth.

"Bring the whole tithe to the storehouses, that there may be food in my house. 'Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.'"
Giving is a spiritual principle and should always be approached as such.
It is the surest way to ensure a harvest in your life. Galations 6: 7 states
Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. So where do you want to see a harvest in your life, in your family, finances, job, or relationships? Whatever the matter may be, give and it shall be given back to you. God is true to His word.
FAQS: Giving
Tithing is 10% of earnings in simpler terms it is a dime out of every dollar. This money goes to bills and various needs within the house of God, including staffing, insurance, and operational costs.
Offerings are what one chooses to offer to God above and beyond the 10% of their tithes.
Seed offerings are purposeful gifts that one chooses to give based upon the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Givers give to a specific need in which they would like to see God meet within their own lives.
General Donations are gifts that one gives to help further the work of the ministry.

Ka-ching!
The religion business could give lessons to Trump about making money.

Considering who donates to Trump, though, perhaps it counts as reparations.
