MaxInDHouse: God never want the Israelites to have human kings His purpose is when the Christ comes he will serve as King and Priest in the order of Melchizedek, Israelites decided on their own! 1Samuel 8:1-18
So if their kings impose taxes on them it's not part of God's purpose for them they could have been tax-free if they never asked for human king. From the day they asked for human King they turned themselves to slaves again under the rule of imperfect humans who will impose taxes on them apart from the spiritual taxation God required of them which is for their own benefits. That's why Jesus the Messiah never demanded tithe from anyone {Matthew 11:28-30} rather what he demanded is our time to preach and teach about God's Kingdom!Matthew 28:19-10  The Bible already told us why Jesus didn't demand tithes while on earth. Why I you formulating your own reason? |

MaxInDHouse: NO! It's a system of taxation God introduced to an independent nation under His rulership but after they lost their independence it became obsolete among true worshipers.  Smiling. No, it wasn't. If it was, the Bible would state it expressly. It would have stopped at the time of the kings. The kings imposed taxes. God didn't. God doesn't tax people. He never did. Tithing was for the purpose of the Church, and as long as Churches exist, so does tithing. Even when the Romans ruled Judea, tithing was still a regular practice as I showed you in a previous scripture. |

MaxInDHouse: You misunderstood me, i never said Israelites don't practice tithing in Jesus' day rather true worshipers no longer practice it as they now follow the teachings of Christ Jesus who was driven out of the temple.
The commandments are over 600 God only wrote ten on stone tablets with his fingers to prove the laws are from Him. So all those laws were given to the Israelites and Jesus said all hangs on two laws: love for God and love for neighbors! Mark 12:27-31 Tithing is simply a demonstration of love for God with your finances. God blesses you in return. |

MaxInDHouse: Temple worship and it's tithing arrangement became USELESS at the moment Christ began his ministry. God told Moses regarding Israel:
"I will raise up for them from the midst of their brothers a prophet like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him. Indeed, I will require an account from the man who will not listen to my words that he will speak in my name" Deuteronomy 18:18-19
John the baptist served as the last Israelite prophet whose work will usher in the era of the Christ {Malachi 4:5} Jesus told his disciples that John the baptist is lesser than the least in his kingdom {Matthew 11:11-12} John made it clear to his own disciples that his work will begin to decrease while that of the Christ will continue to increase {John 3:30} Jesus told the Samaritan lady at Jacob's well that Jerusalem Temple worship will no longer matter because true worshipers will do so in spirit and truth {John 4:24} this means that whatever the Jews are practicing inside that temple has become invalid if they don't discontinue the form of worship they're practicing in that temple and embrace Christianity where animal sacrifices and burning of incense will not be required for pure worship. When the Jews rejected Jesus of Nazareth both Jerusalem, it's temple and all worship done inside becomes a curse {Matthew 23:37-38} that's why God gave them a sign after Jesus' last breath {John 19:30} as he finished the last work to establish the New Covenant! Matthew 27:51 So whatever the Jews are doing in Jerusalem or inside their temple after the establishment of Christianity has nothing to do with the true God anymore!  Why do you like ignoring scriptures to hang on to whatever is on your mind? This is not good for soul my friend. You first said they didn't practice tithing in Jesus' days. Now that you have been shown the scriptures that disprove your words, you should honorably agree that you erred. Tithing isn't part of the law. It's not among the 10 commandments. It's an ordinance of life. It works for both believers and unbelievers. If you honour God with your tenth, God will bless you. It is not mandatory but it still works today as it did in old times, and would continue to work until the world comes to a close. |

It is not the norm amongst we Yorubas for an 82 year old to call a 70 year old, son.
We Yorubas respect each other far more than for an 82 year old to insult a 70 year old that way. It's a long time relationship between them. Don't put your mouth into things you know nothing about. This isn't the first time Oyedepo would call Adeboye "My father" and Adeboye would call Oyedepo "My son."

MaxInDHouse: In the New Testament the tithing arrangement has become meaningless because they were no longer in charge of the land God gave them rather a pagan nation (Rome) has become their ruler so it's this pagan nation that was demanding TAX from them just as they does over all other nations under the same colony that's why paying or collecting tithe in Jesus' day became difficult and obsolete. But as for gifts which is not mandatory they can bring or give it to anyone as their hearts move them. So when Christianity was commissioned it was practiced without tithing because disciples are practicing Christianity not by force but out of love for God and neighbors and since it was to be taken to all other places Christians only pay their TAXES which was forcefully collected by authority they only give whatever they have to support the Kingdom work. Do you know that the Maa'sa (Tithe) is still being practiced in Israel today! Though not compulsory, some of them take it very religiously. How then do you think it was not practiced in Jesus's day. Jesus accused them of paying tithes which according to Him was good, but they neglected justice and equity. "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things." |

MaxInDHouse: They have the right to say "NO" to any God since they never knew any God directly unlike the God of Israel who introduced Himself to the Israelites with a mighty hand by delivering them from slavery and acquiring possessions which they don't deserve for them. This God has the right to make demands from them since He gave them what they can use as resources that's why He mandated they pay or they are ROBBING Him. Malachi 3:9 
Ọmọ stop jumping from pillar to post gifts are voluntary but tithe is mandatory that's where the two differ!  Are you aware that wages were earned in Israel in New Testament times? Can you prove to me that they gave gifts and tithes in kind and not in cash? |

paxonel: So, are you aware that you can still be the Christian that you are, without him ?
are you aware that what God desires from you is your direct relationship between you and him without you having a priest or a man of God. Meaning, you are a priest for yourself?
Are you aware that you are unique and peculiar the way you are, just like he is unique the way he is?
I'm not saying that you shouldn't celebrate anyone. But the truth is that he doesn't even know that you exist talkless of him celebrating you.
And most importantly, do you know that your worship to God is you and just you alone, without religious building, gathering or place? Check your bible He was suppose to be the one telling you these.
The day you understand these things, that's when you will know what it means to be free. Then you will never need miracles anymore talkless of testimonies because you will see that nothing was wrong with you in the first place. You were as whole as the first man God created(Adam) which he created and saw that everything about him was good without any defect.
God never intended to intervene or perform miracles in the first place he created man. He wanted man to learn and take charge. Image a man inventing an electric fan and keeps intervening by turning the blades with his hands all the time after plugging it to electricity. He will become frustrated that this fan is not working the way it ought to work.
That's how God feels anytime you are begging for miracles all to give testimony. You don't know?  Everything you said is correct concerning every believer. That's my brand of Christianity. That's what I preach. And interestingly, that's what Oyedepo teaches. Oyedepo was the first man of God in this country to teach you how to take charge of your life as a Christian and be a beacon of hope to others in your neighborhood. Infact, he teaches that wherever a Christian is, especially in the midst of unbelievers, he is the pastor or the priest of God for the people in that place. He teaches that you're born again to be a solution provider and not a miracle seeker. You're the one that God has placed in your neighborhood, your office, your school, anywhere, as a representative of God to the people. God put you there because He wants to work through you to manifest His love towards the people. You're not there by accident. The believer is the solution that God has sent to his generation. Your refusal to take full advantage of God's grace upon your life is a disservice to God's kingdom. "It is a slap on your redemption for you to be running from pillar to post looking to someone to lay hands on you when God has already placed the solution within you." Let me stop here. At least you already got the gist. Please let's celebrate this great man of God. It doesn't matter whether he knows that I exist or not. He doesn't actually need to know. He is indeed a blessing to this generation. Happy birthday once again to the great man of God, Bishop David Oyedepo! |

MaxInDHouse: God COMMANDED tithes based on what He shared to the tribes of Israel not salary that's why each Israelites must used the inheritance God gave them {Deuteronomy 10:9} which wasn't given to Levites as means of resources to pay tithe {Deuteronomy 14:29 it's due to this inheritance not given to Levites that God told the other tribes that they are ROBBING Him! Malachi 3:9 So tithe wasn't for salary earners that's why it's strictly farm products!  So, those who earn wages are not receiving from God? Can you prove to me that gifts and tithes were paid in kind in the New Testament? Especially during the earthly era of Christ and His disciples? |

MaxInDHouse: This isn't tithing but VOLUNTARY contribution.
When talking about tithing no matter where you are once you have converted the tithing to money due to distance when you get to the place where you are to pay your tithe it must be converted to farm products again NOT money:
But if the journey should be too long for you and you are not able to carry it to the place that Jehovah your God chooses as the place for his name because it is far away from you (because Jehovah your God will bless you), you may then convert it into money, and with your money in hand, travel to the place that Jehovah your God will choose. You may then spend the money on whatever you desire—cattle, sheep, goats, wine and other alcoholic beverages, and anything you please; and you will eat there before Jehovah your God and rejoice, you and your household. And do not neglect the Levite who is inside your cities, for he has not been given a share or an inheritance with you. Deuteronomy 14:24-27
Never was tithe paid in cash!  That's for those whose incomes are in kind. Those are farmers. Those who are not farmers and whose incomes are in cash would pay cash. And since the economy today is a cash economy, cash is paid as tithe. Bring the tithe of EVERYTHING. So, if what you have is cash, it is still part of EVERYTHING. |

There is no single religion practicing the tithing in ancient Israel today back then they don't bring money it's farm products to be stored in the Tabernacle!  Did you read that the scriptures say we should bring ALL the tithes? Or you want to pretend? Even back then, it was permissible to convert materials to money in order to give to God. Exodus 35:5, 20-29, 36:3-7, and 2 Chronicles 24:10. |

MaxInDHouse: The highlighted shows you love lies!
Jesus never collected material tithes when he was here as human so after he became the High Priest it's not material tithing Paul said Jesus received rather its imperfect humans he is receiving into the most holy temple where we can approach God's throne without animal sacrifices something Israelites can't do in ancient times yet they were paying material tithes only for priests collecting tithes to approach the altar in their behalf.  You simply don't understand English or you deliberately want to peddle lies. That Scripture in Hebrews said Jesus couldn't receive tithe on earth when He was here because there were men who were already receiving it here on earth. This is the only reason why Jesus didn't receive tithe on earth. Heb.8.4: "For if He were on earth, He should not be a Priest, seeing that there are priests (here on earth already) that offer gifts according to the law:"In Hebrews 7:8, the Bible says men who die receive tithes, but there, He receives them, of whom it is said that He lives. Simple English. Men who die receive tithes here, but He receives them there. It is scripture manipulation to start interpreting "them" as being spiritual when the tithes that were pre-mentioned are physical. The doctrine of spiritual tithe-giving is heresy. There's no such thing as spiritual tithes. Christ receives tithes spiritually but the tithes are are given materially. Spiritually, we are to give God all our being, time and strength. Not the tenth of them. Render yourself wholly as a burnt sacrifice. No tithing. |

Kindly quote out that scripture. 2. The ministers can't collect tithe because they themselves were still attending synagogues where they were paying their own tithes. Tell us where the scriptures EXPLICITLY said "Christ receives MATERIAL TITHE"  Hebrews 7:8 "And here (on earth) mortal men (the Aaronic priesthood) receive tithes (material tithes); but there (at the right hand of God), He receives them (the tithes mentioned above.

MaxInDHouse: Highlighted is IMPOSSIBLE!
This is where you are getting confused!
First of all you need to know what God's word said about the head of God's Kingdom and the head of Worldly Kingdom if you don't know the difference between the two then you can't adequately preach about God's Kingdom and you will surely be misled anytime Satan's agents raises their false teachings.
Satan is the head of the Kingdom of darkness, demons are his subordinates in the spirit realms and politicians are their human representatives so if you don't know this then you've lost sight of God's Kingdom message.
Jesus is the head of the Kingdom of light, angels are his spiritual attendants while his disciples are his representatives you must identify these people otherwise you can't know the side you should be. You once said you used to attend religious service with any (living) church around you this simply means you have failed to recognize Jesus' disciples who have a unique message and assignment.
No agents of Satan can preach about God's Kingdom because it's the main issue that led to a division among the angels in heaven {Matthew 12:25} so once a person decides to preach the truth about God's Kingdom Satan, demons and their human representatives will begin persecuting him or her immediately {Matthew 24:9} you will notice that despite the confusion among all the different religions on this planet they're all against one single religion (JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES) because that's the only religion Jesus is using to propagate the Good News of his Kingdom. The rest are in darkness that's why they will easily pick up weapons to fight and kill not just their neighbors but their fellow worshipers yet they will claim they are for Christ Jesus who commanded his own disciples never to raise weapons against anyone {Matthew 26:52} to love their neighbors as themselves {Mark 12:31} and to have intense love for their fellow believers! John 13:34-35
Satan's goal is to see that everything is destroyed before God destroys him {Revelations 12:12} so he has come to steal, to kill and to destroy {John 10:10} that's why all the religions under his control can't help resolve their disparities unlike those who have the light {Isaiah 2:4} rather their spiritual father has blinded them {2Corinthians 4:4} so they can't see through his lies therefore they kill one another at will! John 8:44
If you want to know more start a thread entitled "What is the message of the Good News?" tag all those you think can make meaningful contributions and i will be there to air what i know! I have told you that demons can can FALSELY preach the kingdom of God and there are many demons doing it today. Did you read the word 'FALSELY?' |

MaxInDHouse: Our preaching has a THEME "GOD'S KINGDOM" {Matthew 10:7} demon can't preach it because it's the foundation of chasm that makes them darkness while we are the light. Luke 16:26 compare to Genesis 3:15 So if you don't know this sacred secret any form of religion can deceive you with whatever they are preaching. Only true Christians can preach the Good News of God's kingdom! Romans 10:13-15 This is actually a lie. Infact the scriptures warn us against false preachers. Yeah demons can falsely preach about the Kingdom of God. But the kingdom is actually the kingdom of Satan in disguise. Here are some scriptures warning about false preachers: 1. Matthew 7:15-20: Beware of false prophets. 2. Matthew 24:4-5, 11, 24: False messiahs and prophets. 3. Acts 20:29-31: Savage wolves (false teachers) among you. 4. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15: False apostles, deceitful workers. 5. Galatians 1:6-9: Different gospel, false teachers. 6. 1 Timothy 4:1-3: Departing from the faith, false teachings. 7. 2 Peter 2:1-3, 12-22: False prophets and teachers. 8. 1 John 4:1-6: Test the spirits, false prophets. 9. Jude 1:4, 12-19: False teachers, corrupting the faith. Characteristics of False Preachers:1. Deceitful words (2 Corinthians 11:3). 2. Self-seeking (2 Peter 2:3). 3. Greed (Titus 1:11). 4. False teachings (Galatians 1:6-9). 5. Lack of love (1 John 4:  . 6. Denying Christ (2 Peter 2:1). 7. Immoral lives (Jude 1:4, 12-19). How to Identify False Preachers:1. Compare teachings to Scripture (Acts 17:11). 2. Check their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20). 3. Look for humility, not arrogance (1 Corinthians 3:18-23). 4. Be cautious of sensationalism (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). 5. Seek wise counsel (Proverbs 11:14). According to God's word nobody can effectively communicate regarding the Good News of God's kingdom that's why we must be taught how to preach and teach so all modern day servants of our God must be trained to become effective evangelizers no matter their condition!  This is another lie. It is the Holy Ghost who teaches. No amount of human training can make anyone an effective preacher. But, you tried to dodge the real question. For those who cannot effectively communicate or express themselves, how do they preach? Do they stand condemned for their inability to preach since ONLY preaching gets people saved according to you? |

But anyone who is full of the Holy Spirit is of God whether he preaches or not. " You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ." - Romans 8:9. Therefore, " Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts." - Ephesians 5:18 |

MaxInDHouse: The only reward God promised all His servants is everlasting life which Adam's descendants don't deserve as sinners. So if you ignore Christ's command to preach it simply means you have not accepted him as your King so you have no share in his Kingdom. Don't deceive yourself thinking people who said they accepted him on their dying moments are going to gain everlasting life. NO! They only have a chance to be resurrected in Paradise {Luke 23:43} there we must still preach and teach resurrected ones who never had the opportunity to hear about God's Kingdom, at that time all those who resurrected based on accepting Jesus as King must humbly support the preaching work with all their mighty as gratitude for a second chance given them to serve our King. That is when all those who refused to obey the command from our King will not be able to get their names in the book of life {Revelations 20:15} because it's only those PRACTICING what Jesus said regarding preaching and teaching that the angels will include their names! Malachi 3:16
So whether you like it or not know today that your salvation is tied to the preaching and teaching work Christ Jesus COMMANDED all his disciples. If any of them falls into sin due to imperfection he or she will be forgiven for being obedient to God's only begotten Son. Romans 7:15-25; Proverbs 24:16; Luke 22:31-32
But no matter your self righteousness it's of no worth before our God {Isaiah 64:6} if you refused to do the work Jesus assigned all his subjects!  I can't but laugh at the following lines: 1. The only reward God promised to all his servants is everlasting life. 2. If you don't heed Christ's command to preach, it means you have not accepted Him as your King 3. Only those practicing what Jesus said regarding preaching would have their names written in the book by the angels. 4. In paradise, we must still preach and teach the resurrected ones. 5. Whether you like it or not, know today that your salvation is tied to the preaching and teaching work Christ commanded. Hahaha, where do I even start from? How can you have this truckload of heresies and call yourself a follower of Christ? |

MaxInDHouse: Whoever ignores the command from God's only begotten Son will PERISH! John 3:16  That's for those who refuse to listen and heed the gospel of salvation. No scripture says you'll perish for not preaching to others. You won't get a reward when others are getting. That's the punishment. |

MaxInDHouse: You have not quoted a verse that supports the exemption of preaching from the WORKS of salvation! I don't need to. Scripture didn't say well perish if we don't preach. You didn't bring any scriptures to prove that point except the ones you misquoted. Of course in God's organization offices differs but we must all PREACH and TEACH in our neighborhood. Yes we must all preach in order to receive heavenly rewards. No scripture says we must all preach in order to be saved. For instance in my own congregation i am one of the shepherds that doesn't exempt me from going out to preach and teach in my neighborhood the same is with members of our Governing Body who are serving in the office of Apostles over all the congregations globally yet each of them must preach and teach in his neighborhood. No one is exempted from preaching. However preaching does guarantee salvation, neither is it a prerequisite for receiving eternal life. So the preaching WORK is tied to our salvation because that's the command Jesus gave all of us!  Jesus commanded us all to preach but He never said if you don't preach you shall be doomed. There's no scripture that ties your preaching to your salvation. Infact someone can preach and still be doomed. |
