A thread has begun about calling fire down.....all humorous .....

Let me preface that I do choose to tithe. My wife and I also give a lot to missions. I believe in sowing and reaping.

But, I grew up hearing preachers telling born-again spirit filled believers that they are cursed...and everything they do will be cursed. While living under the new covenant, we teach old covenant principles. I even heard pastors use stories where good christian families....who did not tithe, had a spouse, child or loved one die unexpectedly...or their house burnt down or their car broke down....all because they did not tithe....

So, while preachers have not directly called down fire.....they did use such fear tactics to get people to tithe.....

I have never heard it as strong as you portray it, but yes at times some preachers mixed up the OT & NT on some things, but never yet switched back to the blood sacrifice.

Where I grew up it was more, 'you will be blessed' if you tithe! Smile

I guess some pastors and the devil are teaming up these days to pass out a fear story. This is very typical sign of the times in which we live.

Heard one preacher say negativity was the prayer language of hell.
