It’s no wonder that the smear campaigns for candidates scour every detail of another candidate’s life, even going so far as trying to equate tithing with charitable giving and offerings, much of which is never even reported
Campaigns target charitable offering and church tithing
Political spin has done more than enter the realm of defining terms such as charity, church, offering and tithing. It has skewed, sullied and merged the whole concept of each one of these. How? Government intervention for the purpose of raising revenue to sponsor itself and those who leach off of it, from elected officials to bureaucrats and welfare junkies. Picking up the ball, campaign groupies continue to muddle meanings for their own ends.
Pretty harsh rendering of the subject, I’ll grant you, but far more factual than even churches realize because the pastors, elders and administrators had no idea they were being herded into the one big “charitable organization” corral. The irresponsible combining of all these terms has also led to attacks on individuals seeking public office.
