Welcome to the Tithe Deception.


This blog is meant to help Christians that believe they don't have to pay for Salvation but are confused by the cash-tithe deception. It's ludicrous to assume that a man will ask his fiancée for 10% of her income. In the same way Jesus (The Bridegroom) has NEVER asked His Church (The Bride) for a cash-tithe. There is nothing we can do to merit God's love and yet He still loves us. Such a love is incomprehensible. The thought of it is humbling and all we can do is surrender without any plea.

Conclusion


This study is not about paying a minister his or her salary. As the pastor of the Church of Honesty, Respect & Love, I personally know the hard work involved with being a pastor. I do it as a labor of love. However, those that earn a living from the altar are biblically justified. This study is about keeping God’s Word pure.

Through this study we have learned the truth, which is that the tithe is not cash. It is best for us to blindingly accept God’s Word in faith instead of leaning on our own understanding. Only “then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32.
Many of today’s church members are being told to tithe their money and to have faith in a future economic victory. For the majority of these Christians, the years go by without the promised financial windfall, and if they question the promise of opened monetary floodgates, they are told that they simply don’t have enough faith.

My dear friend, God did not establish a cash tithe. The idea of putting a cash tithe burden on His children never crossed our Lord’s mind. Instead, He said in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Do not be afraid, for you have a counselor. Concerning the requirements of the Law, He left you this written message. Acts 15:28-29 reads, “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.”

This study can go on and on, because the Bible has a multitude of evidence, along with many examples of an edible tithe and the use of available currency. I have written these few chapters because I know that the truths contained here can set free the lives of those that so desire freedom. However, if you require more information or a deeper explanation, please contact me.

May God bless you.
