Public Reacts to POS Offering System
Many online users voiced concerns about the commercialization of religious institutions. They suggested that churches now operate more like businesses.
One user, @nightprogram_, commented, “Churches function as businesses. Genuine worship originates from the heart.”
Another user, @Da__preye, observed, “Jesus would be weary of some churches.”
A user named @kenny_pablo defended the practice. They stated, “Tithe payment is scriptural, regardless of the collection method. Many people no longer carry physical cash. POS systems are common, even at social events. Attending a church you disagree with is not mandatory.”
@dele003 added, “This practice has existed for years. No one compels individuals to contribute to the church.”
