I just stated their beliefs in their own words. It’s not a big secret. I pointed out what is an obvious fallacy to me. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings but I’m a bit puzzled as to what the problem really is here.
Should we also not discuss WPF or ALJC and their history of tithing?
With all due respect, read the thread title.
As for your opinion, I am interested and I appreciate you sharing. But it’s about the history of tithes in the church. And for the last seventy five years the UPCI is part of that history.
Unless you believe that they are not part of the church?

As I have said it has been a good pattern to support church ministries. I didn’t say that the UPCI is off limits for you to discuss, but only I am not going to discuss. I have been very forthcoming with my views and even the practices of my local church. You have already posted the articles of faith, so it is established that the UPCI advocates tithing in a stricter sense which I do not pass down to my local church. I disagree with that, and I am not ashamed to say it. I am not yet convinced it is something I want to break fellowship over it though.
