I haven't been stirred up on this subject for quite some time, but it is statements contrary to the gospel, like this, that really bother me. Have ye not read, we are not redeemed by corruptible things like silver and gold, but by the precious blood of Jesus Christ? When you sing "what can wash away my sins? Do you add 'and paying tithes' to the blood of Jesus? To say that god demands tithing to go to heaven isn't only ignorant, it is heresy, and an insult to the grace of God and the blood of Christ.
