    Amartey is anti Christ,try to stop the growth of church,do not follow him born again christians.Read Luke 16 carefully and Matthew 22:15-22,words from Jesus Christ.

    How can God bless someone who does not pay tithe? A non-tither is a robber before God. Bro Amartey is a non-tither and he cannot be blessed.
    The bible says he is under God's curse. He cannot hide from this.

    the bible says pastors don't work so they have to be given tithe. They also use the tithe for God's work in the temple. The pastors are the levites of today, they receive the tithe and use some for charity work.

    Jesus lived on tithe. All the apostles and the prophets were given tithe because tithe was for the men of God who dedicated themselves to the service of God. Tithe helped Jesus and his apostles to live and spread the gospel.
