Those who refuse to give the “first fruits” of their income are no better than homosexuals and will go to hell, Grace City Church Pastor Josh McPherson said in a sermon titled “Are Christians Required to Give Money to the Church?” in March.

“If you’re sitting here claiming to be a Strongerman and wearing the gear and you are not tithing to God through this church and you’re some alpha male who likes to look down on all those gay sex men, just know that God views you and those men as the same,” McPherson said.

“First fruits” means the 10% off the top of whatever your household income is, and McPherson stressed that’s just the starting point. It’s a position McPherson has been vocal about since he started GCC, and former members have said McPherson tells his followers to pay their tithes before their mortgages, car payments and grocery bills1.

I think Jesus said something about guys like this. I think he said it with whips

Fellas, is it gay to not give money to Josh McPherson of Grace city church, Wenatchee, WA? You're literally...umm... Wait I got this...err...

Guess you may as well hang for a sheep as for a lamb in that case.

If you’re sitting here claiming to be a Strongerman and wearing the gear

Oh no, “wearing the gear?”

It's fun to see them with their masks off. Those "alpha male" types loved that, I'm sure.

you’re some alpha male who likes to look down on all those gay sex men, just know that God views you and those men as the same,” McPherson said.

Accidentally saying something Christ-like

Prosperity gospel is a hell of a thing.

“I want you to know this. If they land at another church I call that pastor and I warn them there’s a wolf among them,” he said. “You’re like: ‘That sounds like a cult.’ It’s called the church.”

Easy there buddy, you're giving the game away.

Then the lord looked up from the excel spreadsheet and said, “Give unto me a ten percent cut of your money…and like none of that ‘what about my mortgage’ stuff, I wanna make bank son.” -The book of Financialus chapter 3 verse 2.

So as far as the Bible and Jesus himself are concerned, it’s perfectly fine?

Well, I might as well see what this whole gay sex thing is about as long as I'm hellbound anyway.

Who's cumming with me?
