Yes, I agree with you. Even if you spend money building churches
building, it's ok. But if the only consideration is commercial I.E.
to look at returns, then, we need to re-look.
Church is the house of God and the only function should be to
serve the community that they are involved in and to spread the
Gospel. It should not be run like a private commercial
enterprise.
I never see and hear them saying that they are going to build
homes or hospice etc...to cater to the poor and needy etc.... I
heard of them giving 10% of their collecction to charities but is
that all? What happen to the other 90%?
I know that there will be people using the building as
justification for making best use of church's money. But really,
the collection and such return are going to fund a home, hospice or
someone else's lifestyle?
I also wonder why people start churches is this manner
too.....if they are really true to wanting to serve, they could
have easily serve the church they come from.....or did they
disagree so much with their church? Based on what ground?
In any case, if they start their own standalone church, on what
do they base their teachings on? Weak to say Bibile unless they can
proved that they have credible training. That is why so many people
are against such churches because of the teaching - some which are
contradicting even their own teachings.
I do suspect the original intention of starting such a church.
And I wonder why the pastor do not encourage their congreagation to
start on their own church.......just like what they did - in the
name of God.
This is not meant to offend anyone but just set my mind
thinking....hmmmm
Haha...for your info, I do hear of them building homes overseas,
having community services...but once again, not being fully in the
know, personally I would refrain from determining their goal.
Me 2 cents'.
