This book shows from the Bible why tithing to the church is not a New Testament church doctrine, and how instead it is a twisted, legalistic stronghold based on church tradition and church culture.

It goes a step further and traces the origin of the present day tithing confusion back to spiritual errors the Church made during the sixth century. Then, during a great apostasy ushering in the Dark Ages, it first introduced church tithing, not by authority of New Testament scriptures, but by the authority of man through edicts of Church councils.

The book goes another step further and develops the idea that the types of spiritual attacks that have caused so much trouble for the Church over the centuries are often the same types that gave so much trouble to Jesus and Paul, namely Phariseeism and Judaizing, both of which Satan still uses to sell tithing to the Church through his church-tithe gaslighting operation.

It gives suggestions for Spirit-led believers in Christ to prevail against the church-tithing stronghold and against other strongholds where the enemy uses the same strategy and tactics.

• Those who question why some churches teach a form of tithing of one's income to the church, even though no one in the New Testament church was ever taught or commanded to, or was ever reported to have tithed to the church in the New Testament.


• Those who question how unbiblical teachings in general become strongholds in the church.


• Those interested in church history, especially as to how it became so twisted and sinister during the Dark Ages.


• Those who are feeling guilty because they can't afford to tithe to their church. One of Satan's goals for his church-tithe gaslighting operation is undoubtedly to trick us into thinking and feeling like we have failed to keep a command that our Lord never actually gave us.


• Those whose generosity is being exploited by "prosperity gospel" and other hucksters who profit by jumping on the devil's deceptive church-tithe bandwagon.


• Those in the church who want to avoid making the same kinds of mistakes the church has made in the past.


• Those who would like to have Jesus' teachings about giving and generosity in one place for devotions, study, meditation, and prayer.
