The Painful Truth About The Worldwide Church of God

Tithing
God's Command or
Man's Demand?

Finally there is a report that gives you practical, down-to-earth common sense answers to tithing questions in plain English. It uses a carefully formulated approach and applies it diligently to biblical: tithing. The result? --the Bible practically explains itself verse by verse and concept for concept. Accurately. Faithfully. Authoritatively. For instance, Malachi 3:8 10 says: will a man rob God?.. Yet, you are robbing Me ... In tithes and offerings .. Bring the full tithes into the storehouse and I will OPEN the WINDOWS of HEAVEN and pour down. for you and overflowing BLESSING.." Question: What. does the phrase "open the windows of heaven" mean, precisely? Financial prosperity? More business profits? Freedom from debt? A higher paying job? -exactly what is the "blessing"? Do you know the answer without hesitating or guessing? Whatever the blessing is, that is ALL the Bible is promising anyone. Genesis 7:11 12 says, ". and the WINDOWS of HEAVEN were OPENED... and RAIN fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights" And 8:2: "... and the windows of heaven were closed and the rain from heaven was restrained, and the waters receded." Why of course! When the "windows of heaven" are "opened" it is rain, rain, rain that is "poured down!" No wonder Malachi 3:11 continues by saying "the fruits of your soil" will not be "destroyed" and "your vine will not fail to bear." God was promising them RAIN for their land and crops! Why? Before delivering the Promised Land to the Israelites God said to them, if they would obey: "For the land you are entering DRINKS WATER BY RAIN FROM HEAVEN ...that you may gather your grain, wine and oil," Deut. 11:11. But if they should disobey: "(If) you serve other gods ... the Lord (will) SHUT UP THE HEAVENS so that there be NO RAIN and the land yield no fruit and you perish," vv 16 - 17. The Book of Malachi was written to a remnant of Jews that had returned from the captivity and who had, once again, fallen into disobedience. The result? They were undergoing food shortages due to DROUGHT. And so, in 3:8-10 God promises rain if they'll obey. The report is jam-packed with easy-reading verse by verse explanations incisively proving each point and illustrated with drawings. Here is a sample of contents: Why tithing pays for some but not others. A sparkling new view of Malachi 3:8 -~ 11! How you can tithe perfectly while robbing God!..
