Your absolutely right. It does take money too feed the sick,clothe the naked, etc. Iam NOT againest that. BUT, it takes 5 billion dollars to do so?? Yes, there are alot of sick,homeless people, etc......BUT i think you and I both know that alot of that money Doesnt go to where its suppose too. Its like The Godfather part 3. When Michael Corleone give 100 million to the church of sicily and says too the priest " Lets just hope the money gos too where it needs to be".
As stated earlier,
While there are those who indeed abuse that, which was designated for God's work, you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Look at private schools in America, 80% of which are religious.
Humanitarian missions (food banks, homeless shelters, drug & alcohol rehabs, battered women's shelters, disaster relief) are primarily religious-based.
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Pathfinders.........you guessed it, run by religious organizations.
Hospitals, medical centers, orphanages: More of them are run by churches.
YMCA, YWCA....Guess what the "C" stands for!!!
I think you know what I meant--making an idol out of money.
EXACTLY!!
When you ignore your family or when you're willing to do dirt to get cash, your money owns you; you don't own it.
