Myth—Giving 10% Is A Tithe

Tithe Preachers Teach Things of This World!

Instead of teaching you that you no longer belong to this world and its systems, the Word of Faith preacher teaches you that you are a king or queen in this world. They lie about the tithe because they know it will feed your itching Christian ears that desire more of worldly things. Instead of teaching

you to be an enemy of the world, they make you an enemy of God by their own greed that drags you deeper into the things of the world, the things of men. The lure of easy money “by tithing” is a good hook for those ignorant of the Word, because in the next breath following Malachi 3:8-10 out of the

preacher’s mouth are the words “some hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” [Mt. 13:8]. Yet only Satan and his “righteous appearing” servants will teach that it is biblical to conform to this world and its ideas of personal health, wealth, and family success. God’s Word doesn’t teach conformity to the

world’s [men’s] ideas! Consider the teachings of the word of God.

“Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but

be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and

acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].” Romans 12:2 AMP

“That I may in that same way come to know the power

outflowing from his resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share his sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into his likeness even] to his death, [in the hope].” Philippians 3:10 AMP

“Who will transform and fashion anew the body of our humiliation to conform to and be like the body of his glory and majesty, by exerting that power which enables him even to subject everything to himself.” Philip. 3:21 AMP
