Another good one on Tithing
By

Over 2,000 years ago the people asked for Barabbas....
Today they are still asking for Barnabas...

They are asking for what their pastors will tell them today and Not what Jesus has been saying to them for 2000 years...!
They prefer Barabbas the armed robber, because they are also armed robbers in the closet. Birds of a feather. The heart of man desperately wicked!!

Wherefore has God said you should tithe in cash? Wherefore has God said to tithe any other, than Levi? Show me where in the Bible!

Another point of note is: how come out of the 613 biblical laws of Moses which were handed out to the people of Israel, it is only an adulterated version of the law of tithe that is still being practised today, apart from the Ten Commandments? How come we are no longer required to offer burnt sacrifices?
How come we no longer stone people to death for sinning?

The truth is that only tithing was dug out of the laws of Moses because it presents material benefits to the collectors of tithes. Given that most Christians do not study their bibles and depend on their priests to guide them through, it was easy for pastors to pick a passage in the bible (Malachi 3 : 8-10), quote it out of context and use it to manipulate the flock into parting with 10 per cent of their income.
Furthermore, it is worthy of note that neither Jesus Christ nor any of the apostles ever preached about or collected tithe.

In fact, in the bible, Jesus Christ only spoke about tithes in Luke 11:42 which states that: “But woe unto you Pharisees! For ye tithe mint and rue all manner of herbs, and pass over judgement and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.” Here we can see that Jesus Christ is rebuking the Pharisees for laying emphasis on tithes instead of the more important things of the spirit, like our pastors are doing today.

In Acts 15, we find outlined what the apostles all agreed was necessary for the newly converted Gentiles to practise, and by inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God, tithing is conspicuously missing.
Yet, what is one of the very first legislated duties taught to Gentile converts by the Church today? It is that they must tithe their annual salaries to the Church. Where did this unscriptural law of Christian tithing come from??

Abraham was Never a tither... Never!
And if the king of Salem becomes ever a reference, it is only laughable as Abram as he was known then, took what were Not his, the spoils of war, in which he gave a tenth to King of Salem and 90% to the King of Sodom...And in no way could giving out the whole 100% be called Tithing!

Moses was the one who made tithing a law, mostly for the landless Levites of which a tenth of a tenth goes to, not monthly, but every THREE years.. And Never in Money!!

Moses gave altogether, 613 laws...
Jesus gave only ONE, and no tithing in it!
The apostles gave 7 charges to Christians, No tithing in it.
Jesus in Revelation, gave SEVEN charges to the 7 types of Churches...No tithing in it.
Wherefore has this present day anti-God tithing practise come from!??
Of course it comes from same type of people who were asked to choose between Jesus and Barabbas... Today, they are still choosing Barabbas, because they are all closet THIEVES...
THEY ARE QUICK TO QUOTE A MINOR PROPHET, MALACHI, FORGETTING THAT THE GREATEST PROPHET, MOSES SAID SPECIFICALLY NEVER TO TITHE WITH MONEY!!!

The most Destructive part of this to Christianity which is against God and The Holy Spirit is the fact that Christ said in Mathew 11: 11, of John The Baptist and Not John The Tither, the man who preached Repentance and Not Tithing, "Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
Meaning he who is in Christ's Kingdom is greater than any prophet, but these pastors living and relishing in The Kingdom of The World and Not in Christ's kingdom will rather MAKE YOU TO COMPULSORILY PAY TITHES OF MONEY, WHICH IS NEITHER BIBLICAL NOR CHRIST-LIKE!

THE HOTTEST PART OF HELL IS RESERVED FOR THESE MEN OF THE WORLD AND NOT MEN OF GOD!

The Orthodox Jews, DO NOT TITHE ANYMORE... JEWS OF ALL TIMES, NEVER EVER TITHED MONEY, EVER!
What is now done in Israel is the pooling together of communal funding for societal development!!

I specifically asked, why they don't tithe anymore, and I was told, that since AD 70 after the destruction of Jerusalem and dispersal of all Jews, there are no more 12 tribes, no more Tribe of Levi, so no more Levites to tithe to...

Levites were not given any land in Israel. God says: “Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord.” (Numbers 18:24). But today’s pastors own lands and houses. Therefore, they do not live as Levites and should stop pretending to be Levites.
Today, everybody owns lands in Israel, No Levites, No Tithes!

Today’s pastors go back to the Old Testament to extract a curse on those who don’t tithe, insisting that tithers are automatically blessed. But in the New Testament, Jesus pronounced woe on tithers.
He says: “WOE TO YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! FOR YOU PAY TITHE of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith.” (Matthew 23:23). How come the blessings tithers are supposed to get from tithing did not prevent the woe from coming to them

TITHE-COLLECTORS ARE Deceivers!!!
