Renowned American preacher, Pastor Creflo Dollar has openly confessed that all his former teachings on tithing and giving were wrong.
The revered preacher stated this during a sermon on June 26, referring to himself as ‘still growing’.
Creflo stressed that his messages urging Christians to pay tithe was wrong, asking for his books and tapes to be thrown away.
The preacher said he has seen the truth now, and was not ashamed to contradict his previous messages with his new decision.
“I want to start off by saying to you that I’m still growing, and that the teachings that I’ve shared with you on the subject of tithing were not correct.
“And today I stand in humility to correct somethings that I’ve taught for years and believed for years, but could never understand it clearly because I’d not yet being confronted with the gospel of grace, which has made the difference.
“I want to apologize because if it wasn’t for me going down that route, I wouldn’t have ended up where I am right now.
“But I will say that I have no shame at all by saying to you to throw away every book, every tape and every video I’ve made on the subject of tithing.”
On why his move was important, Creflo noted that religion is sustained by two cardinal principles, guilt and fear.
“Why is this important, because religion is sustained by two factors; fear and guilt. And if there’s one subject that the church has used for a very long time to kee people in fear and guilt, it’s in that subject of tithing.
“And it has to corrected now. I may lose some friends, preachers may not invite me no more but I think I already been through that so it doesn’t matter.”
