[Revelation 911]

The scriptures clearly speak against gambling. How could a minister of the gospel accept a "tithe" that represents gambling proceeds. Any preacher with an ounce of conviction and a pair would refuse the money.

Scripture is also quite clear about the accumulation of wealth

Funny how you and I will be accused of legalism - rather I think you see it as I do.......a hindrance to personal holiness and piety

Ecclesiastes 5:12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of a rich man permits him no sleep. 13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,

[Miss Marple]

13 I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,

You do realize, don't you, that this passage can also be interpreted as a prohibition against savings accounts, spare change in a jar, and investment in the stock market?

Besides, it looks to me like Mr. Jackson is not hoarding his money, but is rather giving it away.

No offense but you're a kook. This was a good man that won money then says he'll do good things with it. The week before he won the lottery he saw a small boy on TV who when asked what he wanted for Christmas say he wished he had a bed to sleep in. This man sent the family a $10,000 check. He got paid back for his generosity. You're whining about it makes your religion look rather odd to normal folk...

Begging the question. Doesn't look thus far like Whittaker is "hoarding" anything.
