Do we have to pay tithes?

Plus, it is NEVER to be asked for over the pulpit 1 Corinthians 9:14-16. Also we have no Bible that we are to "pay" to pray. There is no cover charge when we walk into a church. That is called filthy lucre. You are to share with those who teach you Galatians 6:6. So, you give to your instructor, not to the guy on the television wanting to sell you anointing oil from Jerusalem.

Yea all those things are a warning signs to me. My man of God never asks for money. But I've been to churches where they pass the plate around 2 and 3 times. I see how someone is with money before I trust them anyway else. "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."

But I've found when I give God His tenth first I've always been blessed. But I like to be able to give offerings too. That is probably the first thing God set me free from in my walk, was money. I give from a good heart, and I've learned when you cut moneys power over you, the devil becomes crippled in his attacks. Because I testify to you and everyone here "it's impossible to out give God!"
