I agree that God provides but why are you advocating a tax increase for Christians? Why does a liberal who donates to planned parenthood while I contribute to God have lower taxes than me?

In a worldly view it is “unfair” and in fact the world probably crows about it.

The joke is on the unrepentant world in the end (some of its people will repent, though, and God is merciful to them just as He is to you).

Grasping the big picture is crucial to living God’s intent for the Christian. Let the world have its self gratifying pleasure. That’s all the good things it will get.

It appears that you took what I said the wrong way.

I am not advocating a tax increase for Christians.

Christians who believe what the Bible says about being blessed by God (according to Malachi) and gave expecting a deduction were giving for the wrong reason in the first place. Getting God’s blessing for donating money, paying tithes, offering and so on (which churches keep a record of for deductions) should have been the only reason they were giving to the church.

I hope it doesn’t come down to churches losing tax exempt status, but if it does happen and donations drop then we will see the Mammon-serving Christians being exposed for the rest of the church to see: the ones who gave not wanting any tax deductions, but only gave being convinced that God’s blessing was more than enough...
