This issue didn’t arise until the 1918 period when national income taxes arrived. It’s interesting how people now design a religion....to be a tax-free device, and get away with it, yet serve as a personal enrichment tool.

There are tax cheats in every walk of life. Percentage wise the number for religious cheaters is probably small. People like Jimmy Baker, Jimmy Swaggert, Crouch family were just wolves in sheep’s clothing and fueled the fire making great headlines (and advertising revenue) for the MSM when they misstepped and sinned. The fact that they preyed on people’s innocence, taking their hard earned money and using it to enrich their lives instead of for the ministry made people angry and rightfully so.
