Subject: does God intend for us to pay tithes |
Bible Note: I understand what you are saying about the tithe and personally believe that since we are saved by grace alone as the book of Galatins speaks that we have liberty in our relationship with Christ in many regards. My question is why do some pastors insist upon the tithe and some members make those who don't tithe feel inadequate by telling them they are out of God's will and they somehow don't love God as much as they do. I have even heard preaching that if you don't tithe that - they say - and I don't agree - that God will get it some other way. Why do you think they hang on to this teaching besides the obvious answer being they get to spend the money? |
