Why does the Churches collect money?

[The Godly Nations]

Simple Logic-
God owns everything
Church is God's house
Church expects that you give your hard earn money to them
But if God owns everything, then they obviously don't need it
But if God need money, then he doesn't own everything,
ergo Church doesn't need any money what so ever.

Because church is a business, just like nearly everything else.

[Nadkor]

That is possibly the worst attempt at "simple logic" I've read in a long time.

I will say that the churches can be legally forced not to collect money the day they can legally seize any land they need to use because "God owns it", regardless of who possesses the property title. The same goes for electricity, water, lawn mowing services, etc. As soon as they can press people into duty without paying them, and take whatever they want because God owns it, then we can outlaw them collecting money.

Deal?

Generally to administer the premises and church activities and for their charitable activities.

God still needs to pay taxes.

God still needs to pay taxes.

*cough* Churches don't pay taxes.

Unless of course, they get caught doing something that violates their political neutrality, in which case the IRS goes "Pay up. You violated the separation of church and state, and now you owe us taxes."

There's also a few other things that can throw out their tax exempt status.

Maybe most of the time, alot gets thrown around in the spread of Christianity and to the ministry bureaucracy, depending on the church.

Since money is the root of all evil, it makes sense that the church should try to collect as much of it as possible in order to relieve the burden on mankind.

Every time I hear "root of all evil" I want to tell a really bad joke.

I'm sure there's a verse that says something like 'You cannot serve two master, you either serve God or the Mammon.'

Because Churches are Human institutions for the worship of God, not God Himself.

God does not 'own' anything, in our sense of the word, because Property is also a Human institution.

Churches, being Human institutions as stated, are subject to the demands of the Human œconomy, and have material needs that must be attended to. Money is required to satisfy such needs and demands. Since churches do not sell merchandise, they must collect money from their members in order to raise funds.
