This is a STICK UP!!

It amazes me that the church uses Malachi 3 vs 10 to say that not paying tithes is robbing God. They read this verse every Sunday just before collecting the money. What they should be saying instead is This is a stick up everyone empty out your pockets and hold back nothing.What a cruel joke and total reversal on the scriptures if anyone is getting robbed it is the poor unsuspecting souls that do not better.

jER:
There are many false, derisive and impudent imitations of God – to which people should be ashamed, and repent of: "Tithing" is only one of them.

And they don't even have to pay taxes.

jER:
Tax - a fee or due "levied" on the members of an organization to meet its expenses.
Tithe - the act of "levying" or paying…due as a "tax" for the support of the clergy or church (i.e. an organization)…a tax or assessment…to levy a tithe (tax) upon.

Sounds like double taxation of the people…

Isn't it funny to know that the gun that has held and continues to hold so any hostage has no bullets! No scriptural leg to stand on. I heard a whole lot of preachers last month harping on the day of atonement and how it was so important for everyone to recognize that this was God's appointment with them to give them a sevenfold blessing,that of course he would only be able to do if the people did not come before the lord empty handed! The suggested amount that everyone send in was two-hundred and seven dollars which they would then take before the lord and lay it on the altar for you.Humm so much for us a being a royal priesthood that can come boldly to the throne of grace for ourselves.
