Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 3: The evangelical tithe is, to a large degree,   responsible for evangelicals abandoning Jesus Christ as        “first love”. Please follow my reasoning….

Jesus to the church of Ephesus: “I have this against you,   that you have left your first love.” It is obvious to anyone having eyes to see and ears to hear that what was true of the Ephesians is true of most christians today.

When first “born of the Spirit” Jesus was our first (primary) love. We loved Him more than anyone and     everything. And then religionists captured the hearts of most by capturing their money. Listen to Jesus….

Jesus: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” The one who captures your treasure (the income you worked so hard to attain) captures your heart – be it Lord Jesus or evangelical agents. You must understand that religionists are desperate for your money –      evangelicalism is very expensive – and will do what it takes to redirect your devotion, and consequently your money, to them.

Fully understand – Pastor Whoever needs your money to finance his salary and his religious domain. In the battle waged against Jesus for the lordship of your donations the pastor usually wins. Religionists, you see, are coercive, but Jesus never coerces.
