Jesus was crucified by a church that considered him so radically forgiving and loving that he couldn’t be God.

You are the children of the Lord your God … At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns. (Deuteronomy 14:1,28)
So that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. (Deuteronomy 14:29)
