You got a long way to go, for about 99 percent of Apostolic preachers, preach the tithe, so go ahead keep on tilting at windmills, you are entitled to teach whatever you want, if you feel it is biblically correct. (Which of course I do not)

in the meanwhile, we greedy money grubbing tithe preachers will continue preaching the tithe and using the tithe to bring more folks into the church, after all it takes money to pay the ministry bills or do any kind of ministry.

Good luck to you doing ministry without any funds.


You mean..."forced funds"

Yep,,,win one, lose one, win one, lose one,(population doubles every 50 years), win one, lose one.....what a joke.

I have been involved in winning souls since 1979. I just taught scores of SFT studies(1500-2000) and saw great numbers converted consistently over the years. Many have fallen away over the "tithe" issue(I never ever mentioned tithes as a requirement). The ministry ran them off.

I saw the tithe issue about 20 years ago. I was tithing on the gross and evangelizing souls after work, then some tough financial circumstances occurred. I "adjusted" to free will giving and shortly my income doubled. (its been that way ever since)
I had no internet or support group, since it was not available in those days, so I just kept my opinion to myself and continued my efforts. After I got the internet, I began to research the "other side" of the spectrum, and was shocked at the origin of New Testament tithing, beginning under the Catholic Church in the 6th century, and 1st enforced by Charlemagne in the 8th century. We have taken the Catholic method of forced giving in the name of tithing and dropped the rest of their doctrines.(trinity etc.) I have confronted ministers in my area that I have worked with for several years now. One pastor repented and abandoned tithing as a requirement.

I was exposed to some well know ministers in the organization that were praying curses on the saints that did not tithe or saying those that oppose their point of view are going to hell.

I am done allowing these men "terrorize" the saints..the Lord allowed me to be exposed to this stuff so I, as a teacher, would reveal their heresy until they drop it altogether. The Lord has "cracked down" already on some of them as I have earlier mentioned.
