“Another person that doesn’t believe in giving God His due by supporting the church that Jesus died for.”

Jesus did not die for a church. He died to pay the penalty of sin for mankind.

I agree, His purpose was to pay the debt we could not for our sins. Thereby, creating ‘the church’, the body of believers in Christ.

Ephesians 5:25-27 - Think on this!

25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

“....gave Himself for it......” GAVE Himself FOR IT, the church.
