Break Throughs Are Prayers & Alms NOT Tithes by Bubu4Sea: 8:20am On Dec 19, 2021
The bible says the centurion please God with his prayers & Alms.
If tithes was relevant under the New Testament, it would have been prayers & tithes.

It's our prayers and giving to the poor that God wants.

Why don't Christians obey God & not man?

Act 10
1) There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2) A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3) He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4) And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

God also said that it's fasting & giving to poor that gives break throughs not Prayers & tithing

Note verses 7 & 10

Isa 58
6) Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7) Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
cool Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
9) Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10) And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
11) And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Tithing certainly does not give break throughs but giving to the poor

Some people are having HYPERTENSION because of Tithing.
Arms Giving is an Old Legalistic Command like tithing that continues in the New Testament!
See:
Deuteronomy 15:7-10
“If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,
but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.
Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, 'The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,' and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become sin among you.
You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.
For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, 'You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land."

Isaiah 58:7(NKJV):
“Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh?”


Acts 10:2-4
² A devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.
³ About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius!"
⁴ And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God."

Arms Giving is good; Tithing is bad!

Nobody in the new testament gave tithes

Jesus never collected tithes, who is better than Jesus to collect tithes?

None of the Apostles collected tithes

Tithes means a tenth, thats a tax and the children of God are free of tax.

Matthew 17

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying,
What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

tithing is the law, died with Jesus on the cross

Romans 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for

Tithing is not a culture nor tributory to the kings and leaders of the earth/world!
Earthmen seek and collect Tax. Tax is not 10% fixed. It varies and can be even 30% as Government policies allow!
The Matthew scripture you quoted wasn't anything near tithing. LORD JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED was relating on TAX!!! Never Tithes!!!

Governments don't collect Tithes!
Israelites didn't pay Tithes to Government. They paid to Temples/Priests/Levites/the Poor!!!
When Jesus was tempted about paying tribute to Caesar or not, He said they should give to Caesar what belonged to Caesar and to GOD that which belonged to GOD.
LORD JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED, thus, separated Government from Worship(Church).
Remember that just as Sabbath was added to the Israelites, Tithing was added to them as a platform to sustain the priesthood. Otherwise, Tithing was from Abraham who paid it by Divine volition to Melchizedek the mysterious ancient Priest AND THERE IS NO COMMAND ABOLISHING TITHES!
Yes, the Church is the priesthood of GOD. But LORD JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED was wiser than you and your kinds to have given the ministerial gifts to the Church including: Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers and Evangelist as church leaders who will, with the help of the Holy Spirit, blossom The Living organism - The Church, into The Church Triumphant! Some give/pay over 10% on their own joyful Accord!
STOP FIGHTING AGAINST TITHING BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SIN AND WILL NOT EVER STOP BECAUSE THE GENUINELY BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS IN CHRIST JESUS GLORIFIED WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE THEIR TITHES EVEN AFTER READING A BILLION UNNECESSARY ANTI-TITHE POSTS BY YOU AND MILLIONS OF YOUR NAY-SAYERS!

You and I weren't there to know whether they collected Tithes or not.
But to prove that Tithing wasn't a big deal, New Testament Believers sold their lands and brought the the money in full, NOT TITHES, to The Apostles, not Government.
Indeed, you know the couples who sold their land and brought maybe half of the sales and was killed by GOD!
Many who don't have money to give the Church have given several items as sacrifice for the work of the Gospel!
At least the money isn't yours and NO ONE that Genuinely tithed with RECORDS OF PROOF has decried against doing so.
Some have bought land and built worship centres without stress BECAUSE GOD ANSWERED THEIR HEART DESIRES!!!
And to whom much is given, much is required!
You guys don't know what you are up to; fighting a lost, dead battle!
