So you think churches can operate without tithes from its members?
Have you read Acts and what Jesus’s own disciples required to operate the church?
I guess you think phony teddy is the best because he shirks his responsibilty as a better-off person to help those who are worse off but attend his church.
Since you used the word "tithes" then the answer to your question is "yes". If you replace the word "tithes" with "money", the answer would be "no".
It takes money to run any ministry. However, compulsory tithing is of the law. Christianity is not about keeping the law! Being a cheerful giver and giving as the Holy Spirit leads is how we are directed as New Testament Believers.
