Pastor Jailed for telling members to tithe 10% of their incomes by Twinmama(f): 12:31pm On Oct 16, 2019 |
This is the summary of tithing. It's extremely comprehensive Pastor Jones jailed for telling members to tithe 10% of their incomes. Courtroom exchanges between a Judge of the Law and Pastor Jones. The truth about tithing (unknown author) Judge: Mr. Jones you have been charged with multiple counts of extortion. Your crime spree covers 20 years and thousands of victims. You have defrauded people out of their money with fear and manipulation, telling them they had to tithe 10% of their income as per the LAW to your Regd. organization (called Church) and that God would bless them if they did. You also told them that if they didn't tithe God would curse them. How do you plead? Mr. Jones: I plead not guilty your Honor, I have done nothing wrong. I have only preached what the Bible says. In the Bible Abraham tithed to Melchizedek and God blessed him for his faithful giving. The Bible even says he was rich in silver and gold. Judge: Is it not true, Mr. Jones, that in Genesis chapter 13 verse 2 the Bible says Abraham was rich with livestock, silver and gold? Mr. Jones: Yes, you are exactly right, that's what I just told you. Judge: Ok, we read about Abraham being a rich man in chapter 13 but it is not until Genesis chapter 14 that we read about Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek. So Abraham was already a rich man before he tithed to Melchizedek, wasn't he? Mr. Jones: Yes, I suppose you are right. Judge: So his riches were not the result of his tithe to Melchizedek? Mr. Jones: No. Judge: Mr. Jones, you also say God blessed him for his faithful giving. How many times is it recorded that Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek? Mr. Jones: Well, just once. Judge: So the Bible never said that he gave week after week? Mr. Jones: No it does not. Judge: Where did Abraham get the things that he gave to Melchizedek? Mr. Jones: Well the Bible says it was from the plunders of war? Judge: So you are telling me that he gave from the plunders of war? Mr. Jones: Yes that's what the Bible says. Judge: So he basically took things that were not really his in the first place and gave them as the tithe? Mr. Jones: That is what the scripture seems to indicate. Judge: Is it recorded that he ever took anything from his own possessions and tithed them to Melchizedek or anyone else? Mr. Jones: I guess not Judge: You guess not, you are a teacher and you are only guessing, is it or is it not written that he ever gave any of his own possessions as a tithe to anyone? Mr. Jones: No it is not written anywhere that I have seen. Judge: Is it recorded as to what exactly Abraham did give Melchizedek? Mr. Jones: I believe it says plunder? Judge: So plunder could be any number of things? Mr. Jones: Yes, I suppose Judge: It could have been food, cattle, sheep, the people's possessions or any number of things. It does not say it was all money correct? Mr. Jones: Yes you are correct, it does not say just money Judge: As a matter of fact money is never mentioned in that account at all is that correct Mr. Jones? Mr. Jones: Yes your Honor, money is never mentioned just goods and food and people. Judge: So there is no way you can say with any certainty that Abraham in fact gave Melchizedek any money at all? Mr. Jones: That is right. Judge: I only have one last question for you Mr. Jones, did God command Abraham to give this plunder tithe to Melchizedek? Mr. Jones: No, it appears that he did this voluntarily. Judge: So are you trying to tell me that because of this voluntary, one time gift by Abraham, that may not have even consisted of money, all Christians everywhere are obligated to bring 10% of their weekly paycheck to a local Regd.Organization-church? Considering all the evidence I would say you are beyond any shadow of a doubt guilty of deliberately trying to make the scriptures says things they have not said for financial gain. Mr. Jones: Ok your Honor, I can see how foolish I was to try and use the story of Melchizedeck to try and get the people to tithe money. But there are many other verses that will support my belief on tithing. Jacob said he would give God 10% of everything. I think we should follow his example. Judge: Let's see what Jacob said. Please read the verse you are talking about for me Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones: In Genesis chapter 28 starting at verse 20 it says. Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God, then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you." Judge: You said we should follow Jacobs example, is that right Mr. Jones? Mr. Jones: Yes that is right, he vowed to give a tenth and we should too. Judge: Let me point out one thing for you Mr. Jones, Jacob said he would Give God a tenth, ONLY if He blessed him first. So as you said previously, we should follow Jacob's example and tell God that we will only give him a tenth if he blesses us first. Is that right? Mr. Jones: That is not what I meant. Judge: What did you mean then? Mr. Jones: That we should give God a tenth also. Judge: There you go again, trying to make the scripture say what you want it to say for your benefit. I would also like you to tell me the scriptures that say that Jacob kept his vow with God. I would also like to know where he gave the tenth to because there was no temple or levites to give it to at that time. Mr. Jones: I can not think of any scriptures that say where or if he ever tithed after his vow. Judge: It seems fairly obvious to me that Jacob made a voluntary and conditional vow to God. This in no way can be used as a reason to demand others to bring their income to you or any other place. Mr. Jones: I do have a few more scriptures that I believe will show that we are supposed to tithe. Judge: You have not said anything yet to convince me one little bit that people are obligated to tithe money to the local organizational institutions -churches and that you were justified in what you were doing. You have taken scripture and misapplied it to your beliefs and for your gain. But in order to be fair to you I will allow you to present more evidence. Mr. Jones: In the book of Malachi chapter 3 starting at verse 8 it says, will a man rob God? yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, In what have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. So you see your Honor, we are commanded to bring the tithes into the storehouse or God will curse us. Judge: Answer me this Mr Jones, Who was God Speaking to here? Mr Jones: To the People of Israel Judge: Can you please read Malachi 2: 1 Please Mr Jones Mr Jones: Now This command is for you O PRIEST !! Judge: Did God stop talking to the Priest in chp. 3 Mr Jones? Mr Jones: No your Honor! Judge: Answer me this Mr. Jones, were you aware that God never required anyone to tithe money? Mr. Jones: No I didn't know that. Judge: The tithe spoken of here was always edible products never money. Mr. Jones: well your Honor that is because they didn't have money at the time so God had them tithe food instead. Judge: Not true, money is first mentioned in Genesis and Malachi was written hundreds of years later. God had them bring food in so that the levites, the fatherless and widows may eat and be satisfied. The tithe was used mainly to take care of people. Also notice it says in the verse you quoted, that there may be food in my house. The food was the tithe. How do you completely overlook the word food in those verses? Mr. Jones: I don't know Judge: I also want you to know that these verses speak to nation under the Old Testament law. As you may or may not know Jesus fulfilled the law, it is no longer binding. Once again you have tried to completely take a scripture out of context and apply it to others for your benefit. Can you give me a single scripture where God changed the tithe from food to money? Mr. Jones: I do not know of any. Judge: So if God never changed it from food to money who did? Mr. Jones: Man must have. Judge: So far all you have done Mr. Jones, is take Old Testament scriptures out of context and try to apply it to believers under the New Covenant. Is this all the proof you have? Mr. Jones: I do have a New Testament scripture that will show that Jesus told us to tithe. Judge: Ok let me hear it. Mr. Jones: Jesus said in Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. See Jesus said we should be tithing. Judge: Let me ask you a question, who was Jesus talking to? Mr. Jones: The scripture says the Scribes and Pharisees. Judge: Are you a scribe or Pharisee? Mr. Jones: Of course not. Judge: Jesus also said in that passage, you have left undone the weightier matters of the law. Are we under the law Mr. Jones? Mr. Jones: No. Judge: Why not? Mr. Jones: Because Jesus fulfilled it. Judge: When did Jesus fulfill the law? Mr. Jones: When He was crucified. Judge: So the law was still in effect until Jesus death? Mr. Jones: That is correct. Judge: I think you know where I am going with this don't you? Mr. Jones: Yes your Honor. Since Jesus had not yet been crucified and the law was still binding the Pharisees were required to tithe because it was part of the law. Once the law ended, tithing ended also. Judge: I want you to take a look at that verse again. Also tell me, what were they tithing? Mr. Jones: The scripture says it was mint, dill and cumin. Judge: Is money mentioned? Mr. Jones: No it was not. Judge: Once again it was edible products that they were tithing, not money. Do you have anything else you would like to say? Mr. Jones: If people only tithed edible products like the scripture says, then how would the church survive? We have our mortgage payment, utility bills, staff salary and a host of other things that we have to pay each week. We depend on the money from the people. Judge:By "church" you mean your organization isn't it Mr Jones ? -The need does not justify the means. In other words, just because you have all these debts does not give you the right to twist and manipulate scripture and cause people to give under fear of being cursed by God to meet your needs. Does It Mr Jones? In closing, let me recap a few things for you Mr. Jones. -The tithe was never money; -The tithe was an Old Testament law, which is no longer binding. When it was binding the tithe was used to take care of people, not buildings. - We are under a new covenant now. Paul instructs the Corinthian believers how they are to give. He says in second Corinthians chapter 9 verse 7, Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. So each believer is supposed to give as he or she has determined in his or her heart. If they determine to Give 10% well and good, If they keep aside some every week to meet this more better.If you are trying to make people give under the threat of being cursed or any other reason even blessing, you are wrong. Someone can not give cheerfully if they are being forced to give. If 'your church can not survive on freewill offerings maybe God is not part of your church at all. Mr Jones, Do you intentionally put your people under a Curse or a Bondage? Mr Jones: Of Course Not !! Judge: Can you Read in context Gal 3:10-11 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them .... AND Gal 5:1-4 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.... Mr. Jones: I never realized all these things, I have always been taught that we had to tithe money to the local church and that is what I have always taught. I can see now that I was completely wrong. I did not study the scripture for myself, I only took mans word for it. Yes ' am guilty. I will not bteach this error anymore. Sentencing....... All Arise .......!! I think all of us must read this ☝☝ regd.org |

MISHIGAS! Secular Judges do not interpret The Bible for Clergymen. Your lying begins, telling us that the author is unknown. If as many as ten words in a passage are pasted into the Google Search window, between inverted commas, you will be given all the pages Google finds that specific string of words. Therefore, it was child's play to discover that this crock of (*Bleep!*)it comes from a book: WILL YOU BE A HORSE FOR GOD! by Reverend Brian Richards. The author is not unknown. You lied to us From The Beginning. You may feel very clever now, for writing this piece of Blasphemous Garbage, but one day, when you finally have to pay for it, with your life, your Soul, and your family, you will feel very stupid, very sorry, all too late. . LEVITICUS 24:10-16. 10. And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the Children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a Man of Israel strove together in the camp; 11. And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed The Name of The LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: [and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:] 12. And they put him in ward, that the Mind of The LORD might be shewed them. 13. And The LORD Spake unto Moses, Saying, 14. "Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him. 15. "And thou shalt speak unto the Children of Israel, saying, 'WHOSOEVER CURSETH HIS GOD SHALL BEAR HIS SIN.' 16. "And he that blasphemeth The Name of The LORD, he shall surely be put to Death, and all the Congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the Stranger as he that is Born in the land, when he blasphemeth The Name of The LORD, shall be put to death." CHRISTIANS DONATE TITHES TO THEIR CHURCHES BECAUSE THEY LOVE GOD, AND LOVE THEIR CHURCHES. . EXODUS 20:1-7. AND God Spake all these Words, Saying, 2. "I (am) The LORD thy God, Which have brought thee out of The Land of Egypt, out of The House of Bondage. 3. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. 4. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness (of any thing) that (is) in the Earth beneath, or that (is) in the Water under the Earth: 5. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I The LORD thy God (am) a Jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the third and fourth (generation) of them that HATE ME. 6. "And shewing Mercy unto thousands of them which Love Me, and Keep My Commandments. 7. "Thou shalt not take The Name of The LORD thy God in vain; for The LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain." YOU ARE THE ACCURSED OFFSPRING, OF ACCURSED OFFSPRING, OF ACCURSED OFFSPRING: THE PRODUCT OF MANY GENERATIONS OF SINFUL IGNORANCE AND INIQUITOUS NEGLIGENCE. You hate God, and hate Christianity, so, of course you will publish lies like these. . DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20. 19. I call Heaven and Earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you Life and Death, Blessing and Cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, That both thou and thy seed may live: 20. That thou mayest love The LORD thy God, And that thou mayest obey His Voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy Life, and the Length of thy days: That thou mayest dwell in the land which The LORD Sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. YOU HAVE VOLUNTARILY CHOSEN DEATH: IT IS UNLIKELY THAT YOU WILL UNCHOOSE IT- I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN BEFORE. Scum like you invariably continue on to the complete loss of those your Souls. . DEUTERONOMY 12:32-13:5. 32. What thing soever I Command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. IF THERE arise among you a Prophet, or a Dreamer of Dreams, and giveth thee a Sign or a Wonder, 2. And the Sign or the Wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, "LET US GO AFTER OTHER GODS, WHICH THOU HAST NOT KNOWN, AND LET US SERVE THEM." 3. Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that Prophet, or that Dreamer of Dreams: for The LORD thy God loveth you, to know whether ye love The LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4. Ye shall walk after The LORD your God, and fear Him, and keep His Commandments, and obey His Voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him. 5. And that Prophet, or that Dreamer of Dreams, shall be put to Death; because he hath spoken to turn (you) away from The LORD your God, Which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the House of Bondage, to thrust thee out of The Way which The LORD thy God Commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the Evil away from the midst of thee. WE ARE COMMANDED TO IGNORE SCUMBAGS WHO TELL US TO BREAK THE LAW OF GOD. PAUL excused Christians from keeping The Law of Moses- unfortunately for him, he had no authority to do that. He hated God From The Beginning, and always fought against The Law, and those who kept It for real. . MATTHEW 15:1-20. THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2. "Why do thy Disciples transgress the Tradition of the Elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread." 3. But he answered and Said unto them, "Why do ye also transgress The Commandment of God by your Tradition? 4. "For God Commanded, Saying, 'HONOUR THY FATHER AND MOTHER: AND, HE THAT CURSETH FATHER OR MOTHER LET HIM DIE THE DEATH.' 5. "But ye say, 'WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY TO HIS FATHER OR MOTHER, "IT IS A GIFT, BY WHATSOEVER THOU MIGHTEST BE PROFITED BY ME;" 6. 'AND HONOUR NOT HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER, HE SHALL BE FREE.' Thus have ye made The Commandment of God of none effect by your Tradition. 7. "Ye Hypocrites, well did Esaias Prophesy of you, saying, 8. 'THIS PEOPLE DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, AND HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS; BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. 9. 'BUT IN VAIN THEY DO WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.' " 10. And he called the multitude, and Said unto them, "Hear, and understand: 11. "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." 12. Then came his Disciples, and Said unto him, "Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this Saying?" 13. But he answered and Said, "Every plant, which my Heavenly Father hath not Planted, shall be rooted up. 14. "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." 15. Then answered Peter and said unto him, "Declare unto us this Parable." 16. And Jesus Said, "Are ye also yet without understanding? 17. "Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18. "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19. "For out of the heart proceed Evil Thoughts, Murders, Adulteries, Fornications, Thefts, False Witness, Blasphemies: 20. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man." THE PHARISEES INVENTED DOCTRINES TO NEGATE EVERY COMMANDMENT OF GOD WITH AN EXCUSE FOR BREAKING IT. . ROMANS 7:7-25. 7. What shall we say then? Is the Law Sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known Sin, but by The Law: for I had not known lust, except The Law had said, "THOU SHALT NOT COVET." 8. But Sin, taking occasion by the Commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without The Law Sin was dead. 9. For I was alive without The Law once: but when The Commandment came, Sin revived, and I died. 10. And The Commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto Death. 11. For Sin, taking occasion by the Commandment, deceived me, and by It slew me. 12. Wherefore The Law is holy, and the Commandment holy, and just, and good. 13. Was then that which is Good made Death unto me? God forbid. But Sin, that it might appear Sin, working Death in me by that which is Good; that Sin by the Commandment might become exceeding Sinful. 14. For we know that The Law is Spiritual: but I am Carnal, sold under Sin. 15. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto The Law that it is Good. 17. Now then it is no more I that do it, but Sin that dwelleth in me. 18. For I know that in me [that is, in my Flesh,] dwelleth no Good Thing: for to Will is present with me; but how to perform that which is Good I find not. 19. For the Good that I would I do not: but the Evil which I would not, that I do. 20. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but Sin that dwelleth in me. 21. I find then a Law, that, when I would do Good, Evil is present with me. 22. For I delight in the Law of God after the inward man: 23. But I see another Law in my members, warring against the Law of my Mind, and bringing me into captivity to the Law of Sin which is in my members. 24. O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this Death? 25. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the Mind I myself serve The Law of God; but with the Flesh The Law of Sin. PAUL, AND ALL SINNERS, SINNED BECAUSE THEY HATE GOD AND CHOOSE DEATH: NO OTHER REASON. The Law explicitly Commands worshippers of God to execute the lying (*Bleep!*)ards like him, and reject their Teachings. But people love them, and follow them, for pretending that they have authority to excuse them for breaking The Law. .. LUKE 16:1-15. AND he Said also unto his Disciples, "There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2. "And he called him, and said unto him, 'HOW IS IT THAT I HEAR THIS OF THEE? GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP; FOR THOU MAYEST BE NO LONGER STEWARD.' 3. "Then the steward said within himself, 'WHAT SHALL I DO? FOR MY LORD TAKETH AWAY FROM ME THE STEWARDSHIP: I CANNOT DIG, TO BEG I AM ASHAMED. 4. 'I AM RESOLVED WHAT TO DO, THAT, WHEN I AM PUT OUT OF THE STEWARDSHIP, THEY MAY RECEIVE ME INTO THEIR HOUSES.' 5. "So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, 'HOW MUCH OWEST THOU UNTO MY LORD?' 6. "And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY, AND WRITE FIFTY.' 7. "Then said he to another, 'AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU?' And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF WHEAT.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND WRITE FOURSCORE.' 8. "And the lord commended the Unjust Steward, because he had done wisely: for The Children of this World are in their Generation wiser than The Children of Light. 9. "And I Say unto you, 'MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; THAT, WHEN YE FAIL, THEY MAY RECIEVE YOU INTO EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.' 10. "He that is Faithful in that which is Least is Faithful also in Much: and he that is Unjust in the Least is Unjust also in Much. 11. "If therefore ye have not been Faithful in the Unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust The True Riches? 12. "And if ye have not been Faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 13. "No Servant can serve two Masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." 14. And the Pharisees also, who were Covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him. 15. And he Said unto them, "Ye are they which justify yourselves before Men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is Highly Esteemed amongst Men is Abomination in The Sight of God." EVERYTHING PAUL TAUGHT IS BASED ON A PHARISEE DOCTRINE LORD YESHUA CONDEMNED. . ACTS 23:1-6. AND Paul, earnestly beholding the Council, said, "Men and Brethren, I have lived in all Good Conscience before God until this day." 2. And the High Priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. 3. Then said Paul unto him, "God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after The Law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to The Law?" 4. And they that stood by said, "Revilest thou God's High Priest?" 5. Then said Paul, "I wist not, Brethren, that he was the High Priest: for it is written, 'THOU SHALT NOT SPEAK EVIL OF THE RULER OF THY PEOPLE.' " 6. But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the Council, "Men and Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of The Hope and Resurrection of the Dead I am called in question." PAUL NEVER CONFESSED TO COMMITTING ANY SIN- EVER- NOT EVEN HERE, WHERE HE PRETENDED NOT TO RECOGNIZE THE HIGH PRIEST HE WAS WORKING FOR THIS WHOLE TIME- DESTROYING CHRISTIANITY FROM WITHIN. . MATTHEW 23:23-33. 23. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye pay Tithe of Mint and Anise and Cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of The Law, Judgment, Mercy, and Faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24. "Ye Blind Guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26. "Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of Dead Men's Bones, and of all uncleanness. 28. "Even so ye also outwardly appear Righteous unto men, but within ye are full of Hypocrisy and Iniquity. 29. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the Righteous, 30. "And say, 'IF WE HAD BEEN IN THE DAYS OF OUR FATHERS, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PARTAKERS WITH THEM IN THE BLOOD OF THE PROPHETS.' 31. "Wherefore ye be Witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the Children of them which killed the Prophets. 32. "Fill ye up then the Measure of your Fathers. 33. "Ye Serpents, ye Generation of Vipers, how can ye escape The Damnation of Hell?" PAUL WAS A PARTAKER IN THE BLOOD OF YOCHANNAN BAPTIST, LORD YESHUA, AND THOUSANDS OF THE FIRST CHRISTIANS. He is the reason why there are only four Gospels, instead of four hundred. LORD YESHUA EXPLICITLY SAID THAT PAYING TITHES ON EVERYTHING WAS PROPER. Paul has no authority to tell us that it is not. Any argument against Tithing based on his Teachings is invalid, because only Lord Yeshua is the authorized Teacher of The Church. . MATTHEW 23:1-15. THEN Spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his Disciples, 2. Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3. "All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6. "And love the Uppermost Rooms at feasts, and the Chief Seats in the Synagogues, 7. "And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.' 8. "But be not ye called 'Rabbi:' for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are Brethren. 9. "And call no man your father upon the Earth: for one is your Father, Which is in Heaven. 10. "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11. "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye shut up The Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive The Greater Damnation. 15.
