Blume, as others, are capable of creating doctrines the apostles did not discover. They create it from the notoriously absence of it in the NT. Not only that, Blume defends it vehemently.

The doctrine is this: the belief that tithing is the financial plan for the church to support ministry. Most tithing teachers use the OT to teach it, but Blume insists he doesn't, yet the concept is in the OT, so he does, but he doesn't, but he does.

It also takes a simple research to show the development of such false doctrine hundreds of years after the apostles. It is a post-apostolic doctrine. It can't be more clear than that.

The more I see a preacher who benefits from tithing directly or indirectly vehemently defending the modern tithing doctrine, the more their true colors come out. It is better for a tithing preacher to just walk away admitting their doctrine is weak, and messy, or even better, just admitting it is false.

Amen brother!
