Got the Pastor from HELL? JUST WALK OUT!

By Patricia Backora

Although MOST greedy preachers wouldnt REALLY bring such anintimidating item to illustrate their sermons, they do want their slice of

the pie. And theyll get you below the belt..in your spare changepocket, that is.

Time and again I read the sad old story: Churchgoers complain abouttheir pastor piling on the pressure for them to tithe. One testimony I

read went something like this:

My pastor gave a fifteen minute speech about tithing and he let us

know hes gonna do that every single service till he shakes thestinginess out of us. He said tithing will establish a covenant with God.

He used Malachi 3 to threaten us with. If we dont pay him tithes Godwill curse us. If you dont tithe youre being greedy. And tithing means

10 per cent of your GROSS, not five per cent or one per cent. Not only

that, our sweet, loving pastor called all the tithers up front soeverybody would know who WASNT tithing.

Man, that pastor must have made those poor non-tithers feel like

dog crap. No sense mincing words. That WAS his intention all along!If you cant justify your manmade doctrine with RIGHTLY DIVIDED

scripture, social ostracism and shame should do the trick. Now what

did Jesus say about giving in secret (Matt.6:3-4)? In other articles Ipresent an overwhelming mountain of evidence that tithing on money

was NEVER a valid scriptural doctrine, and tithing was NEVER put onNew Testament Christians by any apostle.

But sneaky pulpit snakes count on the fact most Christians are so busyworking their jobs they dont have time to study their Bibles to see if

monetary tithing is a valid church doctrine. Christians have the right toprove all things, even the teachings coming from the pulpit (I

Thes.5:21).

The guy who wrote this testimony had been saved and filled with the

Spirit for only a couple of years, still a babe in Christ. He gave moneyto other Christians who had needs but was told that didnt count as

part of his tithe, and he still owed Mr. Preacher a big chunk of hispaycheck. The poor guy thought Christ died to set him free, but still

felt like a prisoner being held to ransom by the pastors demands.

The Lord is ticked off about predatory pastors stealing not only new

converts cash but their brand-new joy in the Lord. This guy wrotethat he went from one church to another and they were all the same:

they were only after your money and if you dont pay up god isgonna curse you with a curse.

Most professional ministers know full well what theyre doing: preyingon other peoples ignorance. Theyve been to Bible school and they

are fully aware that tithing was NEVER done on money in the Bible,

just on agricultural produce taken from the LAND OF ISRAEL (seeLev.27:30-34). Next time your preacher begs for tithes, stand up,

stand up for Jesus and ask him why he never preaches onDeuteronomy 14:26, which allows you to buy beer and wine with

money gained from the sale of tithed produce. Why doesnt yourpastor let parishioners use their tithe to have a big party ofthanksgiving unto the Lord? Why doesnt your pastor give ALL the

tithe to poor widows and foreigners in the land every three years, asmandated by Scripture (Deut.26:12). If your pastor doesnt allow you

to eat your tithe and give it to the stranger in need, hes the one whosbreaking the tithing law, not you! God is a stickler for detail and if you


3/9

change Gods laws to suit yourself, you end up cursed, not blessed(Deut.4:2). Thats the only covenant God makes with modern tithers.

When preachers sense that the stick approach isnt working, they

might use the the carrot approach. Even the carrot has a barbed hook

on the end of it. Preachers bellow about how blessed youll be by Godif you start keeping the tithing law. Galatians 3:10 promises you a

curse, not a blessing, for coming back under law! The Law isnt arestaurant menu you can pick and choose from. Keep one law you

gotta keep em all! Failure to do so brings Gods curse. Failure to

keep the tithing law the true Biblical way brings a curse.

God has posted a NO FISHING sign next to the deep, deadly pool ofthe Law. Preachers fish out their favorite ordinance, tithing, give it a

facelift (changing tithes from edible items to money) and force it onto

the backs of Gods sheep. They turn the flock of the Lord into a herdof sweating, toiling donkeys to keep the money rollin in!

The Law ministers condemnation and death, not life (2 Cor.3:7,9).

That greedy preacher could care less if you feel your joy in the Lorddraining away and fear taking over, just because youve moved from

the realm of grace into the dangerous area of law.

No matter how hard things get, that damn tithe money has to be paid

or your pastor will hate your guts and pray for god to curse you. Itssickening how they claim that what we give to others is over and

above THEIR tithe money! HOGWASH!!! Let those lazy preachers getup off their fat backsides and go WORK for that brand new Cadillac orthat second home on the beach! How many hamburgers would those

rich televangelists have to flip to buy that horse ranch in Texas?

Conservative Bible-thumpin tithe collectors dont believe in social

programs to help people below the poverty line. They call people onwelfare leeches who wont do an honest days work. But I think its far

more strenuous to scrub fryers at McDonalds than preach a shortsermon twice a week and fly off (first-class) to pastors conferences a

couple times a year. You get more corns and calluses on your feetfrom serving cranky customers in some restaurant than you do pacingthe floor like a tiger, threatening Christians with the wrath of God for

withholding money from the building fund!

Preachers threaten you with hellfire and damnation if you dont tithe toTHEM to keep them fat and happy. And even if you DO sneak into

heaven, they give you the impression youll be poor as dirt when youget there.

One of my most disgusting memories happened during a time of greateconomic hardship for the area we lived in. It was a small church

attended by mostly poor people. A lot of them asked for prayerbecause they were between jobs and didnt know how theyd make it

from one week to the next.

The pastor of that congregation liked to do a lot of traveling toconferences and enjoyed the income gained by pasturing a church.But he had a bee in his bonnet about the small change contributed by

people who found it hard to spend the gas money to come to church.

Something had to be done to get the congregation to progress fromcoins to paper cash. So that night he went behind the pulpit and said,

Ill start the offering. He put in a ten in full sight of everyone,


6/9

contrary to what Christ preached about doing your giving in secret andnot in the sight of men.

He said, If you wanna put in nickels, why act like youre ashamed of

it? Why not let everybody see what youre doing? He fished a bunch

of nickels out of his pocket and slammed them down in front of hispulpit. I got so disgusted I never went back.

One bigwig preacher excoriated men who stay home with the kids

instead of going out to work, and allow their wives to support thefamily. Well, what if the woman is a highly-paid professional who

makes twice as much as her husband? Would the preacher rather

have the couple struggle to afford to pay someone else to watch theirkids while both work (and earn tithe money for the greedy preacher?)

All this gobbledygook about family values being peddled from richpulpits! Preachers beat hard-working couples on the head for failure

to spend quality time with their kids, then chastise them for failure togo out and earn extra tithe money for them! One preacher holleredfor lazy people to get off their blessed assurances and go out to work

72 hours a week so they could prosper. Is this man stupid to realizeyou cant take the kids to work while you do your nurses shift or work

at a chicken pluckin plant, and then do a second job at some burger

joint? How in Sam Hill do you work 72 hours a week and still spend


7/9

quality time teaching the kids about Jesus if youre brain feels so friedfrom exhaustion all you want to do is crash in the sack when you get

home? My word, folks are getting so hard up they cant even afford totake a Stay-cation once a year (stay-at-home vacation).

Even if you catch on to the fact tithing is NOT required of New

Testament saints (be sure to read Acts 15 to see what God DOESrequire), preachers are sure to yank out the authority ace up their

sleeve to scare the pants off you. If you disobey THEM and stay trueto what the Bible teaches, youre in rebellion, mister, and Gods gonna

work you over. But what did Peter and other apostles say when the

religious authorities of their day ordered them to stop preaching thetruth? They said We ought to obey God rather than men (Acts

5:29).

Preachers preach bloodcurdling sermons about how the Curse of

Malachi is hovering over your head like a thug in a torture chamber toFORCE you to cough up your tithe. Other articles I wrote explain that


8/9

this curse was directed at the Sons of Levi and the Sons of Jacob, notthe sons of the Apache Indians, the Chinese or the Japanese, or the

Outer Mongolians. If anybodys risking a curse by preaching tithing inthe Church Age of grace, its those money-grubbing preachers! Jesus

pronounced a terrible woe upon anyone who would make His little

ones stumble in the way of righteousness (Matt.18:6). Whenpreachers FORCE Christians to tithe under threat of Gods severe

retribution, they force believers back under the Law and all itspenalties. They force believers to fall from grace and risk losing their

salvation (Gal.5:4). One weasly preacher even said tithing ensures

you a place in heaven. If anything, just the opposite is true! Whenyou depend on religious works to stay on Gods good side, youve

fallen away from faith in Christ alone for your salvation. When youattempt to keep an Old Covenant Law in mans way instead of Gods

by changing the terms and conditions of that law, youve just as good

as broken that law in your attempt to keep it!

To preach tithing is spiritual extortion and highway robbery. Its worsethan Judas selling Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Preachers sell their

listeners spiritual treasures: salvation through grace and faith inChrist alone and freedom from the Law through Christ. They deny the

priesthood of baby believers who dont know the Word well enough to

realize they are a kingdom of priests unto the Lord (I Pet.2:5,9).Priests NEVER tithed under the Old Covenant, so why should they do

that in the New Testament?

Preachers put believers under a mountain of fear and false guilt. Theycause economic hardship through squeezing tithes and extra offeringsout of poor people who grow discouraged and fed up with going to

church. Actually, its the people who ARE the church, not the building!

If the apostle Paul were here today, he would probably feel the same

way toward these thieving preachers that he did toward the Judaiserswho preached law to the Galatians. Paul pronounced a curse on those

who spy out the liberty of the saints and try to put them back underlaw with a different gospel (Gal.1:8,9; 2:4-5). Todays preachers

preach the gospel of give, give, give (to THEM), so you can get a slotmachine jackpot from heaven.

Next time that ogre preacher uses naming and shaming tactics to tryto squeeze money out of you or force you to live like his slave, do a

victory march for Jesus, OUT THE FRONT DOOR! If the church floor iswooden, all the better. With every head bowed and every eye closed,

be sure youre wearing your noisiest shoes, preferably shoes with


9/9

bulky two-inch heels that go clunk clunk every time you walk. Anddont sneak out quietly. You aint the one who should act ashamed, its

the preacher who should feel bad. You and other folks who are fed upwith the way spiritual abusers have turned church into a torture

chamber shouldnt hang around to take that weekly whipping

anymore. When Old Preach calls the tithers up front, or names andshames the non-tithers, stand up tall and proud. Turn your back on

that sheep slaughterhouse and start walking down that aisle towardthe front door , arms swinging and singing

The preacher had me bound but Jesus set me freeThe preacher had me bound but Jesus set me free

The preacher had me bound but Jesus set me freeSingin glory hallelujah

Jesus set me free!
