I'm sure they expect unreasonable amounts, since much of that money goes into the pockets of the people who work there, often times excessive amounts.  That whole 10% thing started way back when...you'd invade a town, take all their stuff and give 10% of it to the King.  It was never intended to be a religious offering, but lo and behold it's ended up that way.  Sure, 10%...I'll take that!\n\nThen they'll make you feel guilty about not giving enough, saying "bad things will happen to you".  \n\nI'd say pick a church that closely matches your beliefs (if you're into all that) and should you choose to give them any money, give what you can afford, not what they're telling you to give them.

This was quite likely a song that was sung in the early church.  It's talking about how being a Christian is worth all the suffering that we might have to endure.  Yet it also talks about how God's faithfulness is far superior to our faithfulness.  We can stumble and fall, but he is still faithful.  When he makes a promise, we can count on him to keep it.  His love keeps on going even when we turn away from it.

Are you sure about the quotation? I don't recognise it. The closest I can get is: \n"God may forgive you but I won't\nYes, Jesus loves you but I don't"\n\nThat's from the song "God may forgive you but I won't", as far as I know originally sung by Rosie Flores.

LYRICS :\n\nOh, well imagine, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, \nand I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words: \n"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter. \n"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore." \n\nI'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" \nNo, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. \nI'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" \nNo, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of... \n\nWell in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved \nWell this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne \nOh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved \nWell this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne \n\nI'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" \nNo, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. \nI'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" \nNo, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. \n\nAgain... \n\nI'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" \nNo, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. \nI'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" \nNo, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. \n\nAgain...

Matthew 16:26 For What is a man profited,if he shall gain the whole world,and lose his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?\n\nProverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place,beholding the evil and the good\n\nWe have a little of both everyday in my opinion,so we have to coexist until things change we just have to do our part in this life with the help of God.\nHave a Blessed Life

The Holy Man says to you: "Donate your money now, and later you will go to Heaven, after you die." Religion is the oldest and most profitable con-game ever devised.

Ecclesiastes 5:10 \n"Whoever loves money never has money enough; \nwhoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his \nincome. This too is meaningless."\n\nLuke 12:19-21\nAnd I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good \nthings laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, \ndrink and be merry."

"To whom much is given much will be expected."  Remember the story of the poor woman at the Temple who gave her last two pennies?  Her contribution counted far more than the huge donations of the wealthy men.  Also, we are told, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.  But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."  Finally, Jesus says "the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those that find it."  \n\nSo my take on it?  VERY hard for wealthy people to get into heaven.  My reasoning is that these people are unwilling to give away their wealth to those who need it.  When they have the means, they turn their back on the poor.  Yes, I know that frequently the wealthy give huge sums to Church or charity, but this is very little compared to what they posess.  Jesus told the wealthy man - who, remember, was a good Jew who kept the Commandments - to sell off everything he owned and give the proceeds to the poor.  People who cannot do that to the extent that they are still living in luxary are attempting to serve two masters, which is impossible.

Grant them eternal rest, Lord,\nand let perpetual light shine on them. \nHowever, this is the real meaning...but its not the correct translation.
