That's the reason some have stopped tithing. Many ministers have used tithing verses to bash, judge and bring believers into bondage
But the Holy Spirit releases believers to
give cheerfully not out of compulsion (tithes)
Tithing is for believers who are immature and struggle to accurately divide the scriptures (in this specific topic) but cheerful giving is for mature Spirit lead believers
He who the Son sets free is FREE indeed
Here is a question for Tithers - Do you believe if you stopped tithing:
God will no longer look after you financially
You will miss out on certain blessings
God will not hear some of your prayers
You may get sick or suffer a calamity
If you answer Yes to any of the above - You are in bondage
Many believers say they tithe out of obedience to God's will but underneath there is FEAR something bad will happen if they don't tithe
