Erin Thiele is not only a FALSE teacher, but a LIAR and a FAKE. She has WEAK women and men who will take what she says as truth by USING God as a way for her own greed and prosperity through TITHING. I took her online course for the past 8 months, and recently she excommunicated me, banned me and then threatened me with her fake anti-harassment Google email which included her threatening me law enforcement if I wrote another PRAISE REPORT form directed to JESUS about not being under the OT LAW of having to tithe. Yes, you read that right! WHY? Because if the TRUTH got out to her international tithers, then she won't have her estimated 800,00.00+ a year income for SELLING THE LORDS GOSPEL any more. She REQUIRES her "students" to TITHE to HER, although she claims she doesn't "need or want" your money. She ENFORCES that you TITHE to HER "storehouse", which she abuses the Malachi 3 chapter with. She then assures you that if you DO NOT tithe, that you will be CURSED and not blessed, or have your marriage restored!
She refused a question I emailed directly to her of the false teaching of Malachi, in which she claims YOU are ROBBING GOD if you do not tithe to her. She had someone write me back and alert ME to the fact that I was "being double-minded" and that I needed to go and SEEK GOD about it and NEVER AGAIN QUESTION HER or attempt to contact her again personally and that she will never be writing me back personally. They informed me that I had no right to be "teaching them" when I was a student. Really?-----------I sought out the Word, sought God's face and researched al theologians about tithing and like that little voice within me that told me something about this stinks with Erin....it grew fouler and fouler. There is NO tithing today and I refuted and debunked everything she wrote about in that area of her books, her Encourager and her Praise Report daily emails from what Galatians, to Colossians, to Romans, to Acts had to say, and she threatens ME with law enforcement after I send her verses from the BIBLE?
She is no pastor! All she did was cherry pick from the Bible and forgot about the context of all she placed in a book that has made her RICH and that allows her to go have coffee in 22 countries abroad on your money, spreading her lies across the nations.
If one does not "know" and study and discern the Bible THEMSELVES they are deceived as I once was. Most people do not read the Bible and she counts on that. She keeps you planted in her cherry picked verses and has you writing them down on index cards reviewing them daily like a Bible, brain-washing you in it. She advises you to also read HER BOOK to the point of :wearing it out" RATHER THAN THE BIBLE! Again, keeping you in her word rather than God's, but using God at the same time.
It is so-called followers of Christ/Christians like HER that make people turn away from God and become the dreaded Atheist because of all the lies, half-truths and prosperity teachers out there like her. Now she has her kids involved in this.
Erin Thiele and her so-called Ministry hurt and abused me. They did however send the money I sent them back into my PayPal account after I refuted their lies on tithing, so I could give my money to the needy, homeless, hungry and widows. NOT to her for her lavish trips to Italy, France, etc. She wants you to tithe BEFORE you buy groceries, get gas, pay your rent!!!! I suffered because of this LIE and it is NOT want Jesus taught nor commanded in his walk with he disciples or WHAT HE DIED and shed His Blood for on the cross.
This lady is Evil. Do not be fooled! 2 Corinthians 11:13-15----
3 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light . 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
2 Peter 2:1-3
But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
2 Cor 1:13
13 For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. NKJV
If a 'vision' contradicts the WORD of GOD ...which is TRUTH ....and contradicts the SPIRIT of GOD ...who is TRUTH ....and contradicts or adds to the Apostles clear teaching .... Brethren, it is a LIE from the pit of HELL!
“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law [tithing], then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:21
“This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:2
“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Yeshua Christ, even we have believed in Yeshua Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 2:16
“For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” Galatians 3:3,4
Erin Thiele's type of teaching (law) blows my mind. If you tell people stuff like that: you've made it a law. Just a warning, WHY would anyone want to teach a doctrine that even the apostles wouldn't dare teach in the NEW TESTAMENT?
THE WARNING: 2 Peter 3:16 (KJV)
"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."
2 Peter 3:16 (NLV)
16 He wrote about these things in all of his writings. Some of these things are hard to understand. People who do not have much understanding and some who are not strong in the faith change the meaning of his letters. They do this to the other parts of the Holy Writings also. They are destroying themselves as they do this.
There is no getting around it, tithing is a part of the Levitical law of Moses. The Apostles never preached nor taught tithing as doctrine. Actually, the first Christians were known to give much more than the tithe -- at the start, they gave it all (Acts 2:45; 4:37). How often has that been done within the last 2,000 years? Don’t say we can’t; we don’t want to. The more a person gives for the kingdom of God, the more they will receive of spiritual riches (and I don’t mean worldly riches).
1 John 4:1King James Version (KJV)
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Galatians 4:17 -- Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them.---
Jesus NEVER collected tithes, He collected sinners to save them.
Don't take MY word for it...Read your BIBLE and run for your life AWAY FROM ERIN and her False Ministry!
God in JUDGEMENT will avenge the widows and orphans who are still being exploited by religion today.

Remove the veil which is over your eye's and ears. you are very decieved if you think this ministry is not false.
They are nothing more than Peddlers of God's Word. You likely believe in Joel Osteen's ministry as well, right? False teachers are everywhere and the world seems to embrace them, and when a brother or sister in Christ wants to steer you away from them, then everyone wants to shoot the messenger because deception is powerful. I thought and felt just like you with Erin....however her true colors showed through when challenged by the Word of God itself.
Reemember: Others love you enough and care about your eternal soul without asking for money, selling books, or collecting tithe. There is NO tithe bte----this is where YOU NEED TO STUDY HIS WORD and ask for His discernment and not look to others~!! He alone will give you wisdom.
God Bless.

I really don't have the time to write a rebuttal to anyone or about anyone, but after reading this report I felt with all my heart that I had to respond sharing my own experiences with Erin Thiele's company. I have been a member since 2011. I've read her books and received daily encouragement for years, all with amazing results and everything she shares include scripture to back it up. It has litterally changed my life, my husband, who I am as a wife, mother, sibliing, friend, etc and the way I handle life and I don't think that ever would have happened without the help of Erin Thiele and her company. I in no way feel she is a false teacher, a liar or a fake and I am truly saddened by the accusations suggesting she is. We have to be very careful coming against one of God's children like this.
During all this time, I have never been or felt forced, bullied or pushed in any way to pay tithes to them, but I do believe that we should pay our tithes to whoever is feeding us spiritually and if that is Erin Thiele's company then why wouldn't we want to? They help people in a way that not many others can. If someone felt they were being bullied then I think there has to be some type of misunderstanding.
I have a marriage ministry myself and I recommend Erin Thiel's books and ministry to everyone who is either getting married or having marital problems. One of the last things I ever want to see happen is any negetive words or feelings said against them that would potentially keep someone from the valueable help of her ministry. Help that could change their life, their marriage and the way they handle it.
Thank YOU!
Your opinion is just that.

Refer to my response to Mary D.
God's Word is what matters and is true. Opinions mean nothing here if you cannot back it up with His Word.
Isaiah 55:8 ~~ Refer also to this.
THank you...God bless you & yours.

Greetings Mary D,
My only "motive" here in this report is [TRUTH]. God's Truth~!!!!
Truth, sometimes may seem & appear to others as fiscious; as you call me; but that
is because they have been decieved.....I rebuked her and her Lies & will back it up
with God's own Words:
Titus 1 13-14 ~ " This witness is true. Wherefore REBUKE them SHARPLY,
that they may be sound in the Faith. Not giving heed to
Jewish fables, and "commandments of men", that TURN
from the TRUTH."
Money returned or not, you asked me what my "beef" was.....?
My beef is people like her who PEDDLE THE WORD OF GOD~!!!
There is NO tithing today. 2 COrinthians 2:17 ~ "Unlike so many, we do not peddle the Word of God for
profit~! On the contrary, In Christ we speak beofre God with sincerity, as those sent from God."
Look up 1 Timothy 1:4 beloved....and read and study your Bible, rather than
defending the likes of Erin Thiele or other mere men & women, how about defending God's Word instead?
I guauntee you that you will go much further in this life by staying on the path Jesus
made for you, rather than hers or others.
God bless you with Love & Light... âº

I was involved with Erin and RMI in 2008-2009. We parted ways due to irreconcilable theological differences, but she is NOT a fraud and has never, to my knowledge, forced anyone to tithe to her or RMI specifically, though she did teach to tithe to the place where you are being spiritually fed. In my dealings with her she has always encouraged individuals to seek God for guidance on their lives, and I never saw her discourage anyone from going deeper into studying the Bible for themselves. However, when it came to the ministry work, she did ask me to change my view on something i had already sought God about and received an answer that disagreed with her view. I do not know who's right or wrong but we agreed to part ways, and there were no further issues. No one is perfect, after all. Working with Erin and reading her books, however, was one of the biggest reasons that I have a relationship with God now. So if anyone speaks against her, I will defend her as a true teacher of God's ways.

I like Restore Ministry's Erin Theile

The woman who wrote about Erin sounds really viscious.Im really questioning her motives.No one forces you to tithe. i myself am a pretty cheap tither.Plus you said they refunded your money,so whats. your beef? I found out about restore ministry in 2004 on the internet when i was in a really bad marriage.I got her books.I think restore ministry teaches women how to read the bible and apply it to your life. The whole premise is not to look at your husbands sin and spirituality but your own.Some of the principals are really hard to put into action.I feel like it helped to give a structure to walking a Christian walk.It also helped me understand the bible and also how to apply it and live it.She talks about how sometimes the Wordly point of view is opposite of Gods view.
She actually just wrote a detailed book on how she restored her own marriage using principals she read in the bible. I never got the feeling she was fake.She always seemed humble to me.At least she was a Christian woman that really tried to live it.I get tired of meeting Christian people that have no values.She was also against slandering you husband,She was for fasting a couple times a week and reading psalms daily and writing down verses from bible that seemed to apply to your own personal situation as God guidance instead of peoples guidance and instead of talking about your problems to people talk to God and keep your focus on God.
Unfortunately for me and Erin we both ended up divorced but there is something to be said about giving it the old college try!None of what Erin teaches is bad and i feel enriched for having spent time in restore ministries.I really liked the testemonies too of women that applied the principals and got their marriage restored.We live in a throw away divorce society. So it is refreshing to read about women who try to make it work. And also get closer to God.The good thing about restore ministries is it is really geared toward trying to save a marriage that seems hopless.And having God help you do that.
