humanitarian giving or philanthropy...but not tithing (there is a difference).
I wonder how much, if any, of the Gates Foundation funds Warren's PEACE Plan.
Anyway...So Warren does not reverse tithe 90% to his church as you stated?
And is it really giving your money away when it goes to a foundation under your control (either way - not tithing)?
Using your definition, since he "controls" it, NO pastor can "tithe" to his own church.
You're letting that little gnat get the best of you. Why don't you hork it up already?
What bothers me about this whole thread is that somehow
it's wrong to be wealthy. This is liberal thinking, and a twist
of Scripture concerning wealth and the eye of a needle.
Why is it impossible to believe the Rick Warren is a
Christian AND successful in business, when God has
asked us in the parable of the talents to multiply what is
given to us? Sheesh... Solomon was wealthy and I have it
on good authority that he was even wealthier than Warren
Buffet.
Thankfully,
God's perspective is assuredly quite different about RW's giving.
