November 18, 2007 journal, bless Lord the tithes and offerings we are about to receive, and bless those that give more than their required 10 percent off the top of their income. This was prayed by the First Baptist Church Spartanburg on television today and I must say that Uncle Sam gets the top 10% in fact, he gets an average of 15 percent deducted from his paycheck so he never even sees the top 10% at all. If people were to take him serious then he has just eliminated 50 percent of his congregation from his congregation. The poor people which is to say the middle-class average people cannot afford church. I called this sack religious. Anything to do with money is Antichrist. What are they? A church or a business? They are of course a business. Preaching tithing is not the gospel but most denominations do it and make it a part of their doctrine. The Catholic Church demands even more especially to pray your love ones or your relatives out of purgatory. I have heard of cases where Methodist churches require pledges for each year & sue you if you default. This must be where the government got the idea to income tax the people. I wonder if this man was praying to the true & living God or to Osiris the god on money. The true and living God is not likely to hear such a greedy prayer. My advice is to reject. Tithing is not taught in the New Testament Bible. Even when it was taught in the Old Testament it was for the purpose of feeding & clothing the poor, not to buy a preacher a new car or even to air-condition the church. Poor folks are most likely not even welcome in the First Baptist Church or the First Presbyterian Church or the First Episcopal Church. Poor folks today are probably not even welcomed into the Pentecostal Holiness Church. We do not have many poor folks today do we? At least not in the church. Church today is for the socialites. While millions go homeless as the bankters foreclose on their homes and the dollar is quickly becoming worthless, we carry on as if everything's fine & dandy. The president said, oh, but if these people have good credit they can get another loan to save their homes. Who while losing their home (House) has good credit? Even so, they must get in line behind all those thousands in New Orleans that had good credit and was promised a loan to rebuild their homes but still after 2 years they are still waiting for their loan. Government doubletalk and its promises are no good to build their houses back up. Dubai is buying up America and will most likely move us over to the Middle East. The Saudi Prince let the cat out of the bag in a private meeting with the oil cartel about $. It is no real secret that the dollar is collapsing because this Government is wasting it. 60 minutes revealed tonight an inquiry with The Washington Post about the FBI using a technique for 30 years to convict many innocent people of crimes they did not commit by claiming to batch-match lead bullets to those of a box. Even after they abandoned this technique, they did not confess it and release all those people that were convicted solely under this faults technique. Where but in America could innocent people be imprisoned falsely? Maybe in Russia or China or Cuba or Iran, Iraq under the liberators? They also showed a 15 year-old boy put in solitary confinement in Cuba's Guantanamo Bay prison after being arrested in Afghanistan without any real evidence, held as enemy combatant. No wonder his brother said he was willing to become a suicide casualty for their cause. A move to higher ground at least a thousand feet from Florida where taxation has become impossible for homeowners to pay. California is worse but it is getting bad everyplace as taxites can steal property out from under citizens and put them out into the street begging. For what reason are we dumping our citizens other than for greed? God is watching you. Anderson county is a prime example of greedy local politicians stealing the peoples future.
