This book looks at trends especially among American Christians. <BR/><BR/>I think that this amount of giving from American Christians would be even lower if they didn't get certain tax benefits from the government.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925727100031393813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176240153566088568.post-16155525734387401962008-11-14T09:24:00.000-07:002008-11-14T09:24:00.000-07:00I'm glad you've been reading Dan Edelen.

I was looking for info on Keith Green, and I stumbled across his blog, then I went onto Challies who them led me to Monergism where then I downloaded Piper's TULIP tapes. And then, you know the rest of the story!<BR/><BR/>"Catholics tithe"<BR/>Hmmm...I'm not sure if that is accurate. Even if it is just 4%. I know that in Argentina, the RCC receives financial support from the state (perhaps the way the German Lutheran church gets money from the state?). Honestly, I never come across a catholic who says he tithes to the RCC. Peruvian catholics tithe? I'll have to find out more on that. My first guess is that they don't. But if they want to baptize their child, have first communion, confirmation, marriage and mass for their dead, they should pay the respective fees. On top of that, the RCC is tax-exempt. But even counting all that, I don't know how the RCC gets by. Maybe the state pumps her some money?<BR/><BR/>FranciscoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
