How do we pay tithes to JESUS?
We are the Body of Christ. Give to where you are attending church. I have a problem with people that week in and week out attend where I pastor, would expect a visit in the hospital when sick, will turn to our staff and congregation when there was a death or a wedding or trouble in their marriage or a loved one that needed counseling, but won't support the church financially. Some will say their money goes to some other ministry or charity, but it's really about control.

I'm saying if you are a member of a church, you should support that church. If you dont like the way finances are handled there, go somewhere where you can feel good about the financial set up. But don't attend a church simply because you grew up there, or because your friends and family go there or for whatever reason and not support it financially. It's not right.
