THEY SOLD ALL THEIR POSSESSIONS AND LAID IT AT THE FEET OF THE APOSTLES.... REMEMBER HOW ANANIAS DIED... 100% IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO GIVE IF YOU CAN'T GIVE 10%

That is not in accordance with the laws on tithing as defined in the OT. God was strict in his design of how tithing had to be handled, and the disciples made no attempts to change that law at all.

Also, the people selling all they had was in obedience to the prompting of the Spirit of God that was living inside of them. Ananias and Saphira knew this but chose not just to disobey, but lied against the Spirit living on the inside of them, hence the penalty of death.

You didn't even read the story in the context it is presented you in the Bible? shocked

The Spirit of God was inside of Ananias, and Sapphira when they each lied. That is why he terminated them in the way He did. They lied against Him, thinking that the spirit of God inside of them was different from the SPirit of God inside the other believers of the time. grin

LOL... The book of Malachi, where you get the warning not to rob God is in fact directed at the Levites, for you see, only the Levites were the ones who could pay their tithes into the storehouse of God. The rest of Israel were not even allowed to bring their own tithe there. Only the Tithes paid by the Levites entered the Storehouses of God.

If you refuse to study the Bible, How can you ever be informed of this?

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM
How can you seek his kingdom in disobedience to the word of God? To enter any kingdom, do you not not first Obey the commandments stipulated for those who require entry? Sure, you can jump the fence like so many before you have done, but that does not mean the King will not spit them out in the end. grin

Mark 10: 29. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30. But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

This is the law on Tithing for the individuals... is this how you practice it?
This is what God told you to do with the Tithe He commanded of you.

Deuteronomy 14 vs 22 -29 ERV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22 “Every year you must be sure to save one-tenth(tithe) of all the crops that grow in your fields.
23 Then you must go to the place the Lord chooses to be the home for his name. You will go there to be with the Lord your God. At that place you will eat the tenth(tithe) of your crops—one-tenth of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the first animals born in your herds and flocks. In this way you will always remember to respect the Lord your God.
24 But that place might be too far for you to travel to. Maybe you will not be able to carry one-tenth(tithe) of all the crops that the Lord has blessed you with. If that happens,
25 sell that part of your crops and take the money with you to the special place the Lord has chosen.
26 Use the money to buy anything you want—cattle, sheep, wine or beer or any other food. Then you and your family should eat and enjoy yourselves there in that place with the Lord your God.
27 But don’t forget the Levites living in your town. Share your food with them because they don’t have a share of the land like you have.
28 “At the end of every three years, you must gather one-tenth of your harvest for that year. Store this food in your towns.
29 Keep this food for the Levites, because they don’t have any land of their own. Also keep this food for the foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your towns. This will provide enough for them to come and eat all they want. If you do this, the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
If you disregard HIS command because you are worried about how the gospel will be spread, that one you will carry with your own head there. undecided undecided

Some people dont even believe in God and they are billionaires. There are even muslim hindu buddhist and all strange religion billionaires....

To think that God will punish the one that believes in him with poverty while letting the unbelievers become billonaires is funny !

So in other words....I should give my 10% or 100% of my salary every month to a one man Church.....
So what next? I go without food, because I have given all my money to the church,

Then that my same Church built a school, but I can't send my children to the school because I can't afford the high fee....is that working for God?

Was it for the Apostles to buy private jets and live luxurious life styles while the people that sold their possessions die in poverty and hunger?

That's why you look for a good Church with a man of God of integrity who actually uses church funds to finance the gospel e.g Uebert Angel

Any Church that is concerned about buildings(physical structure) rather than the people (the church) is fake

I know there are few good churches but then it's difficult to locate them....

Even the ones that have turned to business centers today started well but latter allow the money they get from the members to control them.......

Beware of one man Church... they are as dangerous as the serpent........ deceivers

The scriptures are our borderline for instruction, explanation and correction (2Tim 3:15)

Men are fallible but the scriptures are infallible.
Tithing is not the new testament way of giving.
Today, Believers are meant to give generously without grumbling. We are not bound by percentages when we give to promote the Gospel and help the needy amongst us.

Neither Jesus nor His disciples taught or observed tithing as a religious obligation.

We are no longer under the law!

Jesus Christ is our HIGH PRIEST!
