Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe
Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe
# 38: Does Jesus hate the evangelical tithe? One might conclude that a loving Saviour simply does not, could not, hate. Not true. Definitely not true. A wise man wrote, “To love is to hate.” Makes sense. The more we love righteousness, the more we hate unrighteousness…. the more we love honesty, the more we hate dishonesty…. the more we love truth, the more we hate distortion.
Evangelicals cannot see the unrighteousness, the corruption, the stark rebellion against God’s words that are on full display every sunday morning. Evangelicals have been convinced that what is contrary to Christ’s will, Christ’s ways and Christ’s words – the non-biblical collection of money to finance non-biblical evangelicalism – is somehow upright, even holy. The evangelical way seems to suggest, “It’s okay to disobey God’s Bible if we disobey together!”
Let it be understood that nobody loves more than Jesus and nobody hates more than Jesus, and His deep love for the evangelical cannot be misconstrued for acceptance of Bible-plus or Bible-minus conduct.
New Testament christians reading these words will diligently search the Bible to determine if this message is, or is not, true. Contemporary-christianity christians will not.
