Three lectures (1127, 1237, 1239), and it is one of the few places Neville takes a church practice apart in front of an audience that funds churches. The first tithe in scripture is Abraham giving Melchizedek a tenth of all that he had, and the promise attached to tithing is that it comes back a hundredfold. Neville accepts both and then denies the transaction: give to all the charitable organisations you love, give in abundance if it gives you pleasure - but that is not the tithing of scripture, and I am not tithing with God when I give things. God is your own wonderful human Imagination, so the tithe must be paid there: I tithe with God when I assume that I am the man that I want to be. The consequence is the part with teeth, because the mechanism has no moral filter on it. Or if I don't assume it, I'm still tithing - I'm giving that, the negative state, and he gives it back to me multiplied. Everything you assume as true you have given to God, good, bad or indifferent, and it always comes back shaken down and multiplied. He is careful not to attack the minister personally - no criticism of the minister, he was taught to believe he could be the intermediary - and discloses his own giving, small checks to the Red Cross and three or four charities every year, while denying that any of it qualifies him for a return from God. The order of Melchizedek itself is M729.
