Thomas Moore was heavily persecuted for his faith while serving in the US Navy in Vietnam. During the three years of constant abuse, Thomas learned that a personal love relationship with God provides power to rejoice in the midst of misery, and the ability to Love those who hate you. Thomas was horrified as a civilian to find so many churches teaching their congregations lies, such as a believer must pay their tithes regularly or God will curse them. If they do tithe regularly then they will be blessed with access to God and His favor. Thomas knew following Jesus daily was following a living Savior in a personal relationship, which is destroyed by practicing religion. Thomas spent years, street witnessing and leading many to Jesus and it was heartbreaking that when he brought them to a church to be fed, they were just fed the dead religion of tithing. Being tied to a religion never left them free to be led by the Holy Spirit. The Bible says those born of the Spirit will be led by the Spirit, yet believers were taught to swear allegiance to a religion instead of Jesus. Jesus did not bring religion to the world, He brought a personal relationship. Thomas set out in 1973 to prove Malachi 3:8-11 style tithing is defunct and hostile to the Gospel of Christ. In 2019 he finished his massive research of the scriptures and published his book: Living Waters from Difficult Passages, which contains a wealth of knowledge exposing all the false teachings on tithing. As a result, that book became very large and many people are not interested in a book that large. That’s why Thomas has written this little book, which just covers the main points of how the practice of religious tithing is evil.
