"how exactly is a Christian youth group not "of God"

Has nothing to do with where the money is going or how it is to be used, according to your original argument.........this discussion has to do with where the money comes from.

"For the record - my denomination does not participate in fundraisers, relying on tithes and offerings to fund our youth programs"

Great; really is..........but now you, according to your belief, must closely examine every source of income from which you derive those tithes and offerings. Make sure none of the money in the bank accounts of your congregation comes from gambling, lotteries, or any nefarious means. Of course, that now means you must form a committee to decide what amounts to "nefarious means".

Vicious cycle, isn't it?

God only gets the best, the first
