RE: Debunking the Claim that the Mandela Effect has Altered the Bible
I also wanted to add, that Abraham's choice of not accepting gifts or payment from the King of Sodom, is a lot like Naaman's healing. Naaman was a non-believer. After Naaman was healed he believed. Elisha would not take "gifts," from Naaman because it would take away from the glory going to God. "Freely you have received, freely give.")
The battle that Abraham won, the glory was to be given to God. That is why he wouldn't accept anything from the King of Sodom.
So where and whom tithes or gifts come from is an important factor, as well as when they are acceptable.
I agree totally. But today the spirit of Gehazi is very much in play, when churches first guilt us into membership, and then members are pressed to pay monetary tithes through brinkmanship. Some churches even demand pay stubs from their members.
Yep, sadly that's true.
