One friend says that the troubled church when she came to:
1) Greece became philosophy
2) Italy became state
3) Europe Religion

I thought you said trinity Pentecostal or apostolic churches in your area did not preach or teach tithing. Maybe I was wrong?

In other words, "work and earn wages"?

A lot of modern "churches" aren't churches, but for profit businesses organized as nonprofit corporations and "charities".
