Hi Guys, This is my orientation to my Doctorate thesis (University of Johannesburg, SA - www.uj.ac.za). I've been working on this for the past year. If it is...

You have read me correctly. Tithing may be a NICE standard toward which to aim one's giving but, no, IT IS NOT the absolute standard for giving taught in the...
It isn't "nice" if it is demanded from the poor. In the OT, the poor NEVER paid a tithe, and in fact, received a portion of the tithe. How sad today for...
No the book is not offered free, at least not for now. Maybe sometime in the future. For now, all royalties are directed to Christian charity. So, I make...

Hi Dr. McSwain, Would you confront the Pastor of your church if he supported tithing (somewhat) indirectly, such as at offering time saying "it is now time to...
I would concur with what you've written and what you would say to your pastor whose salary is dependent upon the support of parish members. However, I would...
Hi Friends, I wanted to share with you some things I think I have learned from being a member of this discussion group. It's not just "tithing" that is being...
This morning Matthew Narramore asked me for concrete examples of preachers who succeed without teaching tithing. It took several hours to assemble and here it...

I think if the Prof. had more guts, he would be stronger against the tithe teachers who are ruining the poor. Russell, you know, because of the devastating...
Dear Kelly, Last week I unsubscribed from the forum due to the huge number of emails that come in. Unfortunately, I still recieve the emails. Kindly look into...
Hope you guys enjoy this. I've posted a funny parody of the monopoly game and televangelists on my blog. I named it the board game "TELEVANGOLY". You can visit...

Good question. Who provided the daily sacrifices? Not so simple. Nehemiah fed the poor from his own table and asked God to bless him for it. Neh 5:18-19 Now...
