Wild seeing this on a church. That’s a nice change from what I normally see Christians spouting
The problem

I wonder how much money the church makes.

Some of the heads of churches are multimillionaire too though, and dont have to pay taxes. Churches are part of the problem.

Indeed. It’s important to remember that churches are largely independent, and most of us are trying to help lol

About 13M households in the US have negative net worth, so would I have more wealth than 13M US households put together? Without knowing how this figure is calculated, this seems like a meaningless metric. Though the wealth gap is definitely a problem by any metric, I don’t think this metric is very helpful.

That said 3.6B is almost half of the world population
That’s still no good

Are they counting children? 2.6B people are under the age of 20. How are they counting money for those?
I agree, still not good, but a very useless metric.

Just since you seem to be misunderstanding. It never says that you have to be poor just that if your family is covered you should donate to those less fortunate and prop up your community. Jesus was all about social safety nets and fair distribution of wealth. It’s why the Pharacies had him killed. He was a socialist
