2 Peter 2
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
A person cannot be UNDER the curse of God if they're in Christ. That's the whole point of the cross.
Wait, let me get this straight, if my Pastor has said UNEQUIVOCALLY that he will not receive tithes, which means I do not need to bring tithes to my place of worship. So I am not cursed in that case.
But if the Pastor decides to receive tithes, and I do not bring it, I am cursed.
Cool, the solution is very simple to me: "Go to a church where the pastor does not receive tithes...and you won't be cursed."
