LETTER: Creflo Dollar throws out tithes teaching

Black Immigrant Daily News

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.
