As a pastor, there are two thigns I have never done. I never presented this “new teaching†as “the tithe,†and I never laid this man-made concoction on the brethren claiming God requires 10% of one’s gross earnings to go in cash to the local church for life. What I have taught is: “If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever†(1Tim 5:8) and “Owe nothing to anyone†(Ro 13:8). Those calling for this tithe are doing so claiming God's authority behind their message and often warn of consequences for robbing God. One definition of extortion is to get (money, etc.) by violence, threats, misuse of authority (Webster's New World Dictionary, 1974). This new teaching is extortion.
