No, the real church doesn't need your, or my, money to pay it's bills. Only the Romanist system with it's building-based system would need money to pay it's bills because it's a man made, building-based, 'pay-me-your-tithes' religious system with all the wordly trappings which come with a wordly system. The real church allows it's members to freely minister as they're called to minister in preaching, teaching and helps, to name a few. Only the Romanist system would promote the idea of a hireling paid to perform duties and responsibilities given to the whole church and place debt upon the people to support such an ungodly system.
The Romanist system has twisted the church into the 'church' and sadly most Christians follow this 'church' Romanist system, shirking their duties and callings, hiring others to do what they should be doing themselves.
