Robbing God? | The Tithing Doctrine the New Testament Never Gave – EP143

<p>Who gave the modern church (or the pastor!) a biblical claim on the first 10% of every Christian’s income, along with the authority to attach salvation, blessing, protection, or curses to whether it is paid? In this episode, we examine the unauthorized transfers used to build modern tithing doctrine, from turning pastors into Levites to turning the temple storehouse into a church bank account. We also respond to Oneness Pentecostal leaders who call non-tithers thieves, threaten spiritual consequences, and use fear, shame, and heaven itself to enforce payment. Most importantly, we remind believers that salvation is a gift, Christian giving is not a debt, and Jesus did not save us so we could spend the rest of our lives paying Him back.</p><p><em>Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us… - Galatians 3:13 ESV</em></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Last Week: </strong></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/aGgUC-EMdIg" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mission or Mammon? | The Prosperity Gospel They Say They Don’t Preach - EP142</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Playlists:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9ERikAYlc4GW3U04LgI0uW" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Full Podcast Playlist⁠ - Youtube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9mstgSEcS7VDrX2J4PHmzl&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Holiness Standards</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-xWOOZI8ygTa2bjHotSzfh&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Church Building</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-wcgovpsEwfpV02tWpwXAZ&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Examining Pentecostalism</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-AZ-6O6CQ3auiF-jddjuQa&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The “MOG” (Man of God)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f_vExBRUMQRIxqgbFexAMQv&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">All About The Money</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9EyN7gNkHFxr19loK8MthL&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abuse In The Pulpit</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f8j9Oqo1ut5FKw65
