Why do you think that a person who believes what the church teaches but loves their money more than they love God, and who lacks the faith to obey a very simple commandment (which actually promises that those who keep it will be blessed for it) should be entitled to the greatest blessings available through the church?

Will be blessed
Aint yet
Here again Joey Smith and his cohorts has corrupted the Word of God
As I recall the Christian Bible has something to say about that “person” also
Something about it being a curse to try to buy the power of God (blessing)
Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.” Acts 8:20-23
And what did the LORD Jesus Chr4ist say about the love of money and trying to bribe god with it...
“No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
The Pharisees ande the Mormon CEOs, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.
He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God’s sight.Luke 16:13-15
And Isaiah said that the blessings of God are FREE.
In the Book of Isaiah God said
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. Isaiah 55:1-3
At the foundation of tithing is the recognition that EVERYTHING we have we owe to God. Paying tithing is just giving Him back what is already His own. People who love money are the ones who have a hard time accepting that.
