A CLOSER LOOK AT TITHING
By: Victor T. Stephens
"People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up."
~ George R.R. Martin
Dear believer in Christ;
I have some vital questions for you:
Are you a Christian who has been badgered and judged as a "God Robber"? Have you been sentenced to Hell for failing to tithe? Do you pay tithes in order to elude a curse; or do you live in fear of being cursed because you are unable to tithe? Have you been judged as stingy and undisciplined because you do not tithe? Have you been made to feel like a second class Christian because you are unable to pay tithes?
If you answered "yes" to any of those series of questions, then please read on for some shocking and enlightening truth ... truth that will release you from the manipulation and spiritual abuse which routinely occurs in many professing Christian churches.
This publication will address the practice of church tithing by taking a comprehensive examination of scriptural text employed by tithing advocates and contrasting them to what the Word of God actually says using proper hermeneutical context. (Read more)
