The Dark Side of Tithing the Church Won’t Talk About

tithing in church

THE ISSUE OF whether Christians should tithe is not just some theological debate in which scholars or wannabe scholars squabble over biblical scripture. The Tithing Doctrine (and the Prosperity Gospel) affect real people in a real way.

False Doctrines Have a Price

A serious downside to these doctrines is rarely discussed in the Christian church. In this video, I discuss the negative impact of these doctrines.

Frequently Asked Questions About False Doctrines

What’s the Difference Between Sound Doctrine vs False Doctrine?

Sound doctrine refers to teachings that align with the core tenets of Christianity, as derived from the Bible and the historical teachings of the church. False doctrine, on the other hand, represents teachings that deviate from these foundational truths, often introducing concepts that are not biblically supported or are taken out of context.

In tithing and the prosperity gospel, false doctrines may teach that financial blessings are guaranteed in exchange for giving or that one’s salvation is linked to monetary contributions. Christians must study the Bible and seek guidance from trusted theological sources to discern between sound and false teachings.

What Is Considered False Doctrine?

False doctrine refers to teachings or beliefs that deviate from the foundational truths of Christianity as outlined in the Bible. In tithing and the prosperity gospel, a false doctrine may include messages promising material wealth in direct response to monetary giving or equate one’s spiritual standing with one’s financial contributions.

Such teachings can mislead believers, emphasizing personal gain rather than genuine faith and devotion. Christians are encouraged to study the Bible, consult with knowledgeable church leaders, and pray for discernment to recognize and avoid such erroneous teachings.

How To Avoid False Doctrine?

To avoid false doctrine, Christians should regularly study the Bible, grounding their beliefs in its teachings and context. Engaging in Bible study groups, attending sound doctrinal churches, and seeking guidance from trusted spiritual leaders can provide further clarity and understanding.

It’s also essential to pray for discernment and be cautious of teachings that prioritize material gain or deviate from core Christian beliefs. Finally, be aware of doctrines that seem too aligned with worldly desires or take scripture out of context. These tips can help protect against doctrinal errors, especially concerning tithing and the prosperity gospel.
