If the spiritual authority over you required you to give your daughters to him to wife... would you comply? Hopefully not, because that's unbiblical. Why then would any tolerate a pastor who teaches "tithe or hell" or teaches "tithe or pew"??? Especially seeing that there isn't any biblical precedent for either teaching???
