The doctrine of tithing has been a stumblingblock to saints and sinners alike, and will not be ignored on judgement day.(any more than the man made ideas promoted by the Catholic Church).
The blood of our Lord does not cover heresies. (just ask the Apostle Paul, by reading his verses about heretics).
You can be mad as a hornet at me here and now, but if you change to N.T. Biblical teaching, regarding this issue of giving, you will be hugging my neck in eternity!

Thank you for your opinion. I could just as easily say to you cease from hindering what God has instituted. That you have no right or authority to change God's word. He instituted it and He is the one that gets to stop it. Can you tell me where it stopped?
Why take a chance on being told depart from me?
Nope not mad as a hornet or anything else. I think it is sad that you have such contempt for preachers. I think it's sad that you accuse me of having access to 10% for life and would rather take a chance on preaching false doctrine. Why? Because I believe something different from you? You don't even know me but you are willing to condemn me and castigate me. Perhaps you should take the beam out of your own eye before attacking me.
This thread was going along okay. I know there is people that disagree with me and I am okay with that. I believe what I believe and will stand before God just like everyone else. This thread turned south when others showed up with condemnation.
No problem. I will bow out now. I sincerely wish you the best and may God grant you an ever closer walk with Him.
BTW I have never taken a salary from the Church. I work a full time job, preach and teach. I have received an offering from time to time.
Take Care
