Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 12: I ask you to momentarily agree that the evangelical tithe is not, and never has been, Christ’s will for His saints – even if you are not convinced, even if you find such a supposition unsavory, even painful. Okay? Will you do that?

Now…. I want you to imagine a man who received a huge inheritance from a deceased uncle, and was suddenly shifted from poverty to wealth. He bought a mansion, a few cars, gifts for friends, an extensive wardrobe and many etceteras. Everything was bliss until he learned that his uncle earned his fortune from the sex trade. Understandably, the man now considered all his purchases contaminated, ugly, repulsive. Now consider….

If the evangelical tithe is actually as illicit as the uncle’s fortune, wouldn’t that make everything financed by this illicit tithe equally contaminated, equally dirty, equally repulsive? That would include the pastor’s salary, church buildings and church expenses. And more…. it would include every salary of every officer of every denomination. And more…. it is evidence that pastors and teachers throughout evangelicalism, including seminaries, have been teaching heresy.

All this is to challenge you to check it out for yourself. You have a Bible and you have a brain and you have the very “Spirit of truth”. What more do you need?
