I don't know if you have ever read "Heaven Is So Real", by Choo Thomas (who claimed to have seen John Lenon, and her own mother in Hell), but there is a point in her accounts where she references a moment that Jesus told her, in so many words, that christians who didn't pay tithe were destined for hell, because they were being "disobedient." It's a terrifying thought, but it doesn't make much since. If this account is the ruth, this would mean that you have to pay your way into Heaven. There's no other way you can spin it or manipulate it to say something other than salvation has a price tag. Even Mary K Baxter ("Divine Revelation of Hell") alluded to the same possibility. Both women's accounts were endorsed by two very credible men of G-d--one being T.L. Lowery and the other, David Yonggi Cho (pastor of the world's largest church).
But what does this say about Faithful christians who don't believe in tithing. My own pastor being one who, in an effort to get a word from G-d on how to properly teach people TO tithe, was told by G-d that tithing was a modern day deception, and now is adamantly against the practice. Whar does this say about the great preachers around the world who are so certain that tithing is not of G-d, that G-d Himself woul have to physically get off of His throne, come down to earth, point His finger in their face and tell them that they are in error? This tithing thing is just making no sense to me. It's another one of those things that is confusing, to say the least.
