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.

    Here’s a thought. People are dying and going to Hell. Let’s stop arguing about tithes and start reaching the lost. Post about something that matters. I’ve discovered that most, not all, but most people who get on this tithe kick, never give a dime.

  3. Well I tried to post this a couple of different times but the admin deletes it, which is wrong, but Ronald Ward Robey your buddy Craig Kestner has crossed a couple lines:I enjoy a good debate on this page. But when its all said and done I leave the debate here on the page. There are a couple of guys on here who can’t handle debating and take it outside of this page. Craig Kestner is one of them. We disagree on the matter of tithing. That’s fine, but what isn’t fine is that Craig Kestner got so mad that he decided to go onto a couple of us Pastor’s Church Facebook pages and write bad reviews simply because we disagree with him.
    First of all, him writing a review of our church is a false statement on his part. Because to review the church on our page implies that you have been to our church and experienced it for yourself. He has never been here and therefore can’t honestly review our page. But that’s the attitude this guy has when he gets angry. He takes vengeance into his own hands. Not only that he tagged our church in a comment that had nothing to do with the church but with me personally and then he went onto our Google business and gave a bad review as well. These pages had nothing to do with our debates. He is simply angry and thought he would hurt me and another Pastor on here by including the churches that employ us. If you come across Craig Kestner, Anthony Todd please don’t respond to them or reply to them. They don’t know where the lines are

  4. Charles Page, may I request that the posts of both Jacob SanSoucie and Gary Jones be removed from this thread? They have nothing to do with the OP, and they only want to argue other topics.

    Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
