“I understand that you are also proclaiming that we should not pay tithe. My brother, take ‘off thy shoes from off thy feet;’ for the place whereon you are standing is holy ground. The Lord has spoken in regard to paying tithes. He has said, ‘Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.’ But while He pronounces a blessing upon those who bring in their tithes, He pronounces a curse upon those who withhold them. Very recently I have had direct light from the Lord upon this question, that many Seventh-day Adventists were robbing God in tithes and offerings, and it was plainly revealed to me that Malachi has stated the case as it really is. Then how dare any man even think in his heart that a suggestion to withhold tithes and offerings is from the Lord? Where, my brother, have you stepped out of the path? Oh, get your feet back in the straight path again. {TM 60.2} “We are near the end, but if you or any other man shall be seduced by the enemy, and led on to set the time for Christ’s coming, he will be doing the same evil work which has wrought the ruin of the souls of those who have done it in the past. {TM 60.3}

Jeg forstår at du også forkynder at vi ikke skulle betale tiende. Min bror, tag dine sko af dine fødder; for det sted hvorpå du står er hellig grund. Herren har udtalt sig med hensyn til at betale tiende. Han har sagt: »Bring hele tienden til forrådshuset, så der kan være mad i mit hus; sæt mig på prøve dermed, siger Hærskares Herre, om jeg da ikke åbner eder himmelens sluser og udøser velsignelse over eder i overmål.« Men mens han udtaler en velsignelse over dem der bringer deres tiende ind, udtaler han en forbandelse over dem som holder den tilbage. Ganske fornylig har jeg fået direkte lys fra Herren omkring dette spørgsmål, at mange syvende-dags Adventister frarøver Gud tiender og gaver, og det blev tydeligt vist mig at Malakias startede det hele den virkelig var. Hvordan turde noget menneske endda tro i sit hjerte at en antydning om at holde tiende og gaver tilbage er fra Herren? Hvad, min bror, er du gået væk fra stien? Oh, sæt dine fødder tilbage på den lige sti igen. 61 Vi er nær enden, men hvis du eller nogen andre mennesker skal forføres af fjenden, og forledes til at sætte en (61) tid for Kristi komme, vil han gøre det samme onde arbejde som har forårsaget ødelæggelsen af sjæle af dem som har gjort det i fortiden.
