This book is a unique exposé of the false practices of many of today's churches, set out, by clear comparison of those practices, with what the Bible says. Most Christians have adopted these practices in our lives without any reservation and, more often than not, by sheer tradition, e.g., Christmas and Easter. In fact, most of us adhere to these traditions without any concern for their authenticity, including those of us who attend church services on those occasions. But what if you belong to a church that preaches you contribute 10% (a tithe) of your income from year to year? Well, in addition to revealing the true origins of those religious holy-day celebrations, this book will prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there is no authority whatsoever in the New Testament for churches to be paid 10% of your annual income; in fact, no income at all for themselves, but only for distribution to those who are-or have become-poor for any reason. Thus this book releases all readers from all false traditions and, where applicable, from paying your church 10% (a tithe) of your income from year to year.
