Any good upstanding righteous Christian would never dream of NOT tithing
- - - - -
NONSENSE. I don’t know any Christian who limits their giving to just 10% (tithing). Furthermore, it is not compulsory in the least, we are under grace, NOT the Law.
God doesn’t need our money, He wants our offerings.
And NO GOOD UPSTANDING CHRISTIAN PASTOR would ‘check’ their members giving with a ‘tithing settlement’.
Needs to be repeated often.
As a matter of fact, Christian pastors are "checked" by their congregations and held to account for every dime they may have access to. Unlike the Corporation of the Church of Just Contribute of the Latter Day Spendthrifts.
