Uh, because it IS OK if they don’t go to a ‘CHURCH’, or if they don’t ‘tithe’. If they are saved, the ARE the Church, and if they read Romans through Philemon, they will find out that in this age of grace, we no longer perform things that are for the Jews. Which titheing is, of course.
And the Evil One will convince people that they don’t even have to go to church, don’t have to obey the Ten Commandments, don’t have to pray, etc. etc.
Supporting your church is a duty.
I feel sorry for those who think they don’t need a church and can do it all on their own — without God!
“...and if they read Romans through Philemon”
Salvation in another thread renounced Paul and all his epistles, saying he didn’t meet Jesus in person. So, she won’t “read Romans through Philemon” any time soon.
