Dear Editor,
World renowned pastor, Creflo Dollar recently took a U-Turn on his tithes doctrine.
Like most traditional churches, he practiced and vigorously taught that God must be honored with ten percent of one’s salary.
In a shocking move, Dollar, confessed he had been in error on the subject- and urged those who purchased his books and tapes on the topic to toss them out.
Dollar made reference to several scriptures to support the fact tithing was an old covenant practice, and should not be practiced under the new covenant; or under the dispensation of grace.
Giving he said should be done cheerfully and not based on compulsion or pressure- referring to biblical verses to bolster his statement.
He alluded to the fact that the fear factor is employed in many churches, as a means of getting members to maintain the tithing doctrine- With pastors often telling their members they will be cursed by God if they fail to pay their tithes.
Mr. Editor, it would be quite interesting to hear what local pastors have to say on this subject.

Correct – The tithe belonged to the Levite Priest who had no inheritance or owned any property , therefore they had to be supported by the community .
Dear Enlightened,
I am delighted to read that you find Creflo Dollar’s recent pronouncement on tithing to be of interest, and hope that this interest is not fleeting based on merely one that is eager to cast blame on Pastors, but that you truly desire to know more about the Grace of God.
We at Empowerment Ministry have been sharing about the Grace of God via Nice Fm 104.3 Sundays at 8-9 am weekly and so invite you and others to learn more of God’s goodness.
This statement on tithing csn be misleading, we have to be careful to give all the information so our choices can be guided by the word of God.

And also, as Matthew 24:24 clearly states:
“For there shall arise false Christ’s and false prophets; and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that; if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
I’m one of the few that have read the Holy Bible from beginning to the end – twice – an enlightening and engaging read!
It is a well known fact that many followers have not, and only really engage in popular scriptures, but once read you get the full discourse of the beautiful and good; the deceit of man; and the utter brutality and cruelty. Powerful indeed …
