I am curious to know if God has a say-so anymore in the matter of tithing among CoG leadership?
Seems like that authority has been usurped by the Bishops who teach a tithe requirement that is not found anywhere in the Bible.
For instance:.
God said His tithe is to come from agriculture. Bishops teach us that it is to come from money.
God said His tithe to be observed in Jerusalem. Bishops teach us that it is to be observed worldwide.
God said His tithe is to be given every third year. Bishops teach us that it is to be given every week.
How can Bishops say they are preaching God’s tithe, when the tithe they are preaching is totally foreign to the word of God?
Every time you yield to a monetary tithe requirement sermon, you are, in effect, saying “God, I live by my Pastors word…not yours!”
…which is a form of idolatry.
Jeremiah 17:5 (KJV) Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
