Creflo Dollar apologises for tithing teachings
In a sermon titled ‘The Great Misunderstanding’ from June 26th this year, Pastor Creflo Dollar has publicly admitted that he misled congregants on tithing teachings.
During the Sunday service, the pastor said: “I will say that I have no shame at all at saying to you throw away every book, every tape, and every video I ever did on the subject of tithing. Unless it lines up with this [the Bible].
“I’ve done some corrective teaching in the last ten years, but not to the degree of what we’re getting ready to do now.
“So 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 long time, to keep people in fear and guilt, it is in that subject of tithing, and it has to be corrected. And it’s got to be corrected now.”
The pastor said he might lose some professional engagements after his confession but added that this was something that he’s been through.
