Ok I'll take my tithe to another church ... I don't joke with it

This is an unsual pastor who is good at heart, unlike those other popular ones

GentleMoney:
Do you Agree?..

Another one set free, is what I'll agree to

GentleMoney:
..The threats about tithing is becoming worrisome
but it takes a wise and enlightened person to know that tithing is not a MUST
but a CHOICE according to what the Bible has made us to understand..

Are you covertingly plugging your platform?

¹Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia.
²They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor.
But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.
³For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more.
And they did it of their own free will.
⁴They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believersb in Jerusalem.
⁵They even did more than we had hoped,
for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.
⁶So we have urged Titus, who encouraged your giving in the first place, to return to you
and encourage you to finish this ministry of giving.
⁷Since you excel in so many ways
—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us
—I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.
⁸I am not commanding you to do this.
But I am testing how genuine your love is by comparing it with the eagerness of the other churches.
⁹You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.
¹⁰Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago.
Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it.
¹¹Now you should finish what you started.
Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving.
Give in proportion to what you have.
¹²Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly.
And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have.
¹³Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves.
I only mean that there should be some equality.
¹⁴Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need.
Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it.
In this way, things will be equal.
¹⁵As the Scriptures say,
“Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over,
and those who gathered only a little had enough.”
- 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 NLT

Each of you should give whatever you have decided.
You shouldn't be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver.
- 2 Corinthians 9:7

Many are coming to the light of truth, and breaking free from the shackles of tithe marketeers

This man now, needs to teach the congregation about the "new wine" principle of Generous & Cheerful Giving,
as found in 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 & 2 Corinthians 9:7 above

Attention to 2 Corinthians 8:11-13, from 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, should seriously be taken notice off

The trouble with most of these self styled and sworn tithe marketeers, can be found in Luke 5:39,
these kind of self-confessed tithe marketeers are drunk on the old and thinking the old is better
Not realising that new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.

The challenge, is just that some folks have not really studied to know that tithing, a former law and commandment, that has been set aside because of its weakness and uselessness for another law and commandment, because of its strength and usefulness

Tithing is weak and useless because there is no priest and no Levite for the physical exchange
Tithing is also weak and useless because there no more, is the temple in Jerusalem and no more, are the Levitical cities in Israel

The over reliance on tithe has put the fear on them that their organisation will collapse, will become non functional and its structure crumble, if tithe is no more made available to them.

The truth about the whole matter is that, if coerced, imposed and/or obligatory ecclesiastical monitised tithe giving is stopped,
most of these organisations will be forced to close up shop
because all their arguments are based on their entitlement to tithes, which in the first place, they have no legal right to,
based on the dependence and their reliance on coerced, imposed and/or obligatory ecclesiastical monitised tithes to stay/keep afloat
