People, the person who wrote the last entry b4 this one I am writing hit the nail on the head. The tithe was never a part of the Mosaic LAW. But it IS apart of our COVENANT with Yahweh. Everyone wants to think that the pastors and leaders want people to give tithes to "fleece" the sheep, as someone said on this forum, when in actuality, there are conditions and benefits that come with giving the tithe. READ IN ITS ENTIERTY...Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10BRING ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and PROVE me now herewith, 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. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts
Verse 11 Says THE LORD OF HOSTS SAID IT. When did he start UN-SAYING it!!! I will answer that for you,,, NEVER! Again the tithe was NOT apart of the 10 Commandments. It was a SPIRITUAL COVENANT for the priests (Read Malachi Chapter 2) In the days of the tabernacle there were 2 sects of people who tended to the things of the temple, the Levites and the Koathites. Both made sure that the High Priest and his family had ENOUGH to eat when them and the congregation finished eating.. In other words, meat in the storehouse, Which is still in operation today. Not so pastors can ride around in Jags and wear bling all day either. The tithe was and still is for the STOREHOUSE. NOT the pastors pockets. Unfortunately there have been pastors over the decades that have abused this scripture so now the true pastors of Yahweh have to re-fleece and reteach the tithe to the sheep. Its not about giving "mammon" its about being a figurehead in the local community so that when there is a need in your community, people do not need to go to the government for assistance (which btw is TOTALLY unscriptural) they go to the house of GOD. The Pharisees and the Roman Government did not give the Jews one red nickel! but the were always ready and willing to collect their taxes. We read all day that Jesus says to render unto Caesar what is Caesars but we stop there. We don't read the REST of that scripture which says what? RENDER UNTO GOD what is GOD"S (Mark 12:17). So, now we have the originator of this form (which has a very good handle on the scriptures for contextual value but lets look at CONTENT.) Are the sheep of our pastures MATURE enough to give to Gods storehouse that which is sustainable for the upkeep of Gods house? In other words, give what you want to give sheep because you're mature enough to hear the Voice of Yahweh as to what's needed. We want the blessings of God but we cannot be trusted to give 10% to the work of your local church. We pay more attention to what the Pastor does with the tithe than being obedient to give it!!! Unbeknownst to us, we spend 10% of our paycheck on frivolous stuff at Target Wal Mart and McDonalds and Starbucks like its nothing but moan and complain about keeping 90% when God has blessed you to have the job and the promotion, you cant stretch your faith 10% beyond your normal giving as a first fruit offering which NEVER was done away with, in order to bless the work of your local ministry Are you serious And we wonder why homeless people Single mothers etc cannot go to Gods house for help financially AND SPIRITUAL counseling to go with that I might add, because the people of the house are robbing God but reaping the benefits of good teaching and counseling themselves. Sounds like the Pharisees to me. Jesus called them White Washed Tombs (Matthew 23:27). Knowing it all (the letter) but missing the SPIRITUAL intent. But were the first ones to cry God is good and I'm blessed! NO, you say you say youre blessed because you're COMFORTABLE where God Nerve wants us to be comfortable BUT in HIM and him only. So most of the above forums (with the exception of the one b4 this one) miss the WHOLE point. NO, you do not HAVE to give tithes as a prerequisite for to get to heaven but the WORD says ye are cursed WITH a curse, not because ure not a nice person and you give to charities and community events etc. THAT IS NOT TITHE that's freewill offering, which is ok but it is NOT the WHOLE WORD OF THE LORD. And 1 more thing. We should NOT expect people who want to twist and contort scripture to disqualify a truth. Giving the tithe was not a LAW but it was a TRUTH. The truth makes us all free from the bondage of poverty and a lifestyle that is not contusive to spiritual living (John 8:32). Its funny that some people on this forum try so hard to disprove tithe paying but let me ask those of you a question, would it be a bad thing to just GIVE it not wondering about if it is any longer scriptural? None of us can out give Yahweh anyway. Nowhere in scripture does it say you are or will be cursed if you practice a type of giving that is "supposedly" defunct. Yahweh said PROVE him didn't he? That word prove is a faith concept When did that (faith) ever become unlawful?
