Tithes are commanded by Yahweh, not by Jesus. To Jesus, money ought to go to the poor, not the church.Another person to be blamed is Paul. To Paul, the church has the right to ask money from her followers.In contrast, Jesus teaches that the Word of God be given as a gift.Many Christian churches today around the world have thrived on the "PROSTITUTION OF THE HOLY NAME OF GOD" under the guise of spreading the word of God.Asking for tithes and donations is a total desecration of the name of God; as such it is the wickedest scam in the world that ought to be stopped if we want to protect the holiness of God.
