I can Testify. Tithing is obedience and add an equal offering. And feed help anyone you know needs it.
I can testify- when I had needs with out asking....they were answered. A God thing!!
No one is forced to return Tithes. But , God said it ...believe him.
Monetary Tithing is a false doctrine that started in 777 AD...............
Is tithing under grace? No
Is tithing for Christians? No
Is God's tithe monetary? No
Pastors, are they Levites? No
Did the Gentiles pay tithe? No
Is church the biblical storehouse? No
Should tithe be eaten outside Israel? No
Tithing, was it meant to pay church bills? No
Did God command non Israelites to pay tithe? No
Should tithe come from outside the land of Israel? No
Did the Levites had an inheritance in the land of Israel? No
@The Retard Theorist Prophet Malachi lived during the time of Nehemiah. That take us to tithe under the law. The book of Malachi was address to the Levites who were stealing the tithe but many preachers twist it.
Malachi 1:13
You also say, ‘Oh, what a weariness!’ And you sneer at it,” Says the LORD of hosts. “And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick; Thus you bring an offering! Should I accept this from your hand?” Says the LORD.
@The Retard Theorist There are 3 types of tithe; (1) Poor tithe (2) Festival tithe (3) Levitical tithe. Which of the 3 types of tithe do you give?
@The Retard Theorist Nobody tithe today because there is no Temple in Jerusalem or Levitical priest to receive the Levitical tithe. Tithe was food not money. Giving 10% of you income to a Church is good but it is not a tithe. The gentiles did not tithe. People misuse the word 'Tithe' to mean what it is not.
Most have not experienced the tithe miracle because they have not been faithful consistently in tithe returning. From zero to $100k income in 7 years is my testomony.
❤😊 God said he loves a cheerful so give give give give give give give give truthfully not out of necessity or want or anything but give cheerfully so the seat and see how much God will bring back to you so you can continue to give to missionaries for the gospel is truly being preached under the anointing❤ amen 🙏💕🙏😊
I prove the Lord in so many ways with paying my tithes,.
God does NOT bless tithing, He blesses giving, study your bible please.
WILL A MAN ROB GOD?
This is one of the scriptures which have been used by false preachers to threaten / rob congregants of their money abusing scriptures.
Firstly, you must understand that the bible is a book of parables and proverbs/ written in a hidden language (Matthew 13:34-35, John 16:25, Psalms 78:2). When the bible says ‘Can a man rob God?’ it’s not literal because literally robbing means the one robbed is weaker/ vulnerable/ defenseless WHILST the Robber is stronger/ manipulative/ well-armed. If we take it literally it means God is weak. Is God defenseless from mere mortals (men)? God Forbid! He is the Almighty God, The Creator even of the Devil. So without controversy we ought to know or understand in what manner does men ‘rob’ God?
Malachi 3:8-12
3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
3:10 Bring 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.
Robbery definition:
Formal definition: the action of taking property unlawfully from a person or place by force or threat of force.
Informal definition: unashamed swindling or overcharging.
The key word is PROPERTY, because the force, the threat, the swindling or overcharging happens in order to take the PROPERTY from its owner.
We must remember scriptures like Isaiah 55:8, Numbers 23:19 and Luke 15:16 which reminds and warn us that God and Men are very much different. According to man robbery is an act of using force or threat to take from a weaker person BUT God being Almighty, All Powerful He is introducing His own definition of robbery obviously deviant from man’s definition where the weaker one ‘robs’ the Almighty.
Let us understand also that for you to be robbed you must have the PROPERTY. What then is God’s Property/ Asset? God has only ONE PROPERTY; His ONLY Begotten Son / The Word (John 1:18, John 3:16, Romans 8:29, John 20:17, Hebrews 2:11).
So Malachi, as one of the prophets, he was not just telling Israel to obey the Law of Moses (Which was a shadow of the good things Hebrews 10:1, Colossians 2:17). But the law was a shadow, so for Israel to pay tithes and offerings it was supposed to be followed as per commandment/ pattern so that when the GOOD THINGS/ which is Christ come we can relate well from the pattern.
Let me repeat this: In Malachi God was reminding the children of Israel after the Babylonian captivity that you are no longer paying tithes and offerings WHICH MEANS you are distorting the PATTERN. Distorting the pattern (Israel not paying tithes and offering) is robbery! I will explain why?
God has One Thing, Christ and Christ alone. So All the prophets wrote about Christ (Luke 24:35-27/44, John 5:45, Acts 3:18, Acts 26:22-, Romans 1:1-4).
That why Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 1:8 that the law is good that is if we know what the law teaches about, the subject matter of the law.
Christ is the TITHE. TITHE is 1/10; 10%, the number ten (10) represents the Old Testament order because the ten (10) commandments are the face of the Law of Moses. So the message of Tithe was "I gave you the Old Testament and from thence I must get back Christ''. If you read Deuteronomy 14:22-, Leviticus 27:30 tithe was eaten by those who would have paid it. Why? Because when we are listening to the 'Christo-centric' Gospel according to 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are converted to be like the image/ Christ which we should see from the Scriptures.
So where are people robbing God? God has His Only Son, Christ. He wrote the bible to talk about His Son. He gave the Law of Moses and the Prophets (Old Testament) to write about Christ. And what are the false Teachers and Prophets of our days doing? Instead of teaching Christ from the law of Tithes and Offerings they are collecting tithes, that’s robbing God? Scriptures where God is expecting to get back Christ like Genesis 2:24 they are wedding using them, some starting companies and buying stands using scriptures. This is robbery! But Apostle Paul paid tithe by explaining that Genesis 2:24 talks about Christ from Ephesians 5:30-32. This is proper tithe-paying in the New Testament...... Coming out with Christ from the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures.
But the Most interesting thing is Malachi did not just talk about tithe but Offering but the hungry pastors they raise their emotions on tithes but rarely mention anything about offering in connection with 'robbing' God. But God said ‘...In tithes and offerings’ and not just TITHE. WHY TITHE? The answer is hunger, their god is their belly (Philippians 3:19).
But I have touched on tithe and now as I conclude I will talk about offerings. All the offerings that were required by the Law of Moses, they were supposed to be paid during the Old Testament era according to the pattern so that when Christ / The Good Things come we can also refer and understand that the burnt offerings and the sin offerings were just but a shadow of Christ. So Suppose Israel failed to pay these, how were we going to learn about Christ from them? This was robbery? And now in our days people are robbing / swindling Christ and they put where Christ should be, marriages, weddings, cars, houses, stands, business etc.
Hebrews 10:6-10, When Christ came in the flesh (Galatians 4:4), He wanted to be the fulfillment of the burnt and sin offering of the Old Testament. You must also understand that the whole order of the Old Testament failed to give people righteousness including the tithes and all the offerings (Romans 3:19-21, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 7:11….)
So we who believe in the offering of the body of Christ and on the Cross we are not robbing God in offering. Why? Because we acknowledge the death of the Mosaic Law on the Cross (Colossians 2:13-17, Ephesians 2:14-16, Hebrews 8:13…) is the offering.
So can a man rob God? The answer is yes! The second question is what does God have? The answer is ONLY Begotten Son! The third question is how does the robbery happen? The answer is by not coming out with Christ from the scriptures or replacing Christ by the man of god or yourself!
God bless you---- If you believe this Gospel.
I thank God for hearing this sermon.
I return my tithe n offering before tax.
I did not even realize what God was teaching me.
Thank you LORD

Gvoice GVoice Walter Pearson preaching "you complete me."
>>> The Facts; Clear and Concise on tithing....
> 1. Jesus stated that tithing that God had commanded was a matter of the Law of Moses, The Torah - Matthew 23:23, Luke 11:42:49.
> 2. Jesus did not state that tithing was a matter of Abraham or Jacob, neither of the two are ever cited in God's Word as examples of tithing to be followed.
> 3.The Law of Moses, The Torah, is described by the writer of The Book of Hebrews in Hebrews 7:18 clearly as...
- Weak,
- Unprofitable,
- Annulled.
> 4. Malachi 3:6-10 was written pursuant to the Law of Moses, The Torah, of which the Children of Israel were under and subject to at the time of it's writing - Malachi 4:4, and Malachi was addressing the corrupt Priests of the day, Malachi 2:1
> 5. The Law of Moses, the Torah, where God instructed tithing originates from, has been annulled, and even as much of the moral principles of the Law are now part of the New Testament, nowhere in the New Testament did God transfer any instructions to tithe to anyone, to neither Jew or Gentile.
> 6. Tithing is not advised, suggested or commanded for any Christian living under the New Testament. God instructed tithing has nothing to do with New Testament Christianity.
> 7. If you have been told that you, as a Christian, must or should be tithing, YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO. Don't believe the lie...
2 Timothy 4:3 - "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they draw to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto myths."
Titus 1:10-11 - "For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: WHO's MOUTHS MUST BE STOPPED, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for FILTHY LUCRE'S SAKE."
> 8. Christians are instructed to be free will cheerful givers as God leads, not tithers in any way shape or form.
>>> A Tither's Checklist...
Be sure to check the Tither's Checklist before paying your "tithe." Make sure it complies with The Law of Moses, the Word of God, where God established commanded tithing.
>> The tithe is, and / or you are...
1. Comes from the Promise Land. Lev. 27:30, 32, Neh. 10:37.
2. Is fruits, vegetables and clean livestock. 2 Chron. 31:6, Neh. 10:37, 2 Chron. 31:5.
3. Is paid to a Levite. Numbers 18:21.
4. Is three tithes totally about 23 1/3%. Tithe one; Leviticus 27:30-33, Tithe two; Deuteronomy 14:22-27, Tithe three; Deuteronomy 14:28-29.
5. You live on the Promise Land while you pay it. Deuteronomy 12:10.
6. You are not a Gentile. Leviticus 27:30-34; Psalms 147:19-20.
7. You are a physical descendant of Abraham and Sarah, and of Issac, Jacob/Israel living under the law of Moses. Psalms 147:19-20.
8. If temporarily converted to money, is not paid in the form of money, and you buy what you want to buy with the money. Deuteronomy 14:22-27.
9. The money is converted to wine, strong drink, food, and what ever you desire to buy with the money that you share with a Levite and his family at the feast where God has placed His name on the Promise Land. Deuteronomy 14:22-27.
10. Your pastor can prove he is authorized to receive a tithe, and that he personally owns the tithe, and that it is his inheritance. Numbers 18:21.
11. You tithe because you are living under the Law of Moses, and not the New Testament. Numbers 18:21, Acts 15:24
12. Your pastor is claiming you must pay tithes because Abraham did, Jacob said he would, or your pastor said so, when God has NOT said so. Ezekiel 22:28, Lamentations 3:37.
>>> Does this sound like the "tithe" your pastor is telling you that you must pay him every Sunday? NO? ...THEN DON'T PAY IT; you're being robbed by thieves who God has NOT given the right to take tithes from anyone.
Sometimes one must make sacrifices to tithe properly.
It is sad the excuses people use to not tithe.
The pastor that was preaching is a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) pastor. In the SDA Church, tithes and offerings are to be sent to the SDA conference and the conference has a specific amount of money to pay each SDA pastor every month. Also if the conference finds out that the pastor is taking money from the church, they can fire him for that. The saying about pastors putting tithes and offerings in their pockets is most common and allowed in other religions, not SDA.
i love mr walters preaches wow
Amen and Amen. Powerful teaching.

One returns (not pays) 10% of your increase (earnings) to God (not man), by giving it to the local church. The church (God's house) needs money to function now just as it did back then. It is not slavery, in the New Testaments, 2 Corinthians 2:9, it says, "God loves the cheerful giver." Therefore, giving should not be a chore or burden, it is a privilege and for me an act of worship. It is a choice,you do not have to if you don't want to. But, you are missing out on a blessing.
amen yes true i will pay the tith i learn a lot
TITHE is produce from the LAND. (Lev 27:30). 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; [or] if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 25 Then shalt thou turn [it] into MONEY, and bind up the money in thine and hand shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy GOD shall choose: 26 And thou shalt bestow that MONEY for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, (Deut 14:24-26 KJV)
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, there may be FOOD in my house. (Mal.3:10) It’s clear FOOD not MONEY. Floodgate is a rain (see Genesis 8:2 - Now the springs of the deep and the FLOODGATES of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. If there is no rain (blessing)crop, herds & flock will not survive. So the levites will receive less tithes.Matthew 23:23 - Jesus said “You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. (NOT MONEY).
*If tithing is the only way to get blessed or faithful, that means no one of the apostles were blessed or faithful because none of them tithe.**
DO WE NEED A PHD PREACHER WHO CHANGE THE WORDS OF GOD?
If tithing money is not biblical then who serve God and who serve the MONEY?
Dr. Walter Pearson, you said you preached this so many times please TELL the FOLLOWERS where TITHE-MONEY in the BIBLE.
*BROTHERS/SITERS please read your BILBLE & BE CHEERFUL GIVER*
God says in Malachi 3, "TEST ME". Well I did and He passed with flying colors!
Mal. 3 has nothing to do with money or the new testiment church
It wasn't speaking to you, you cannot test God, God is sovereign
AMEN !!! I BELIEVE YOU (GOD) WILL DO IT FOR ME , IF I BE FAITHFUL TO YOU.
Being faithful to a false teacher has nothing to do with being faithful to God Almighty.
I was a seventh-day Adventist so I expect them to teach tithing because they still live under the old testament.. Wow more bondage emmmm the old serpent the devil is still deceiving and putting people under slavery. The new covenant states give according to his own heart and give cheerfully...Have mercy on the old law preachers
No the new tes is to give all....if someone asked you for your t-shirt give them your jumper too , if someone asked you to 1 mile go extra mile and so on ... give and it shall be given it to you according your measuare....so you give small you get small , you give big you get big ....
This is a VERY GOOD Sermon. It's so meaningful
My financial circumstances were not great so Malachi 3:10 says to test GOD with the tithe so i did with 10% of my paycheck .......... and after a few weeks of that I didnt like what was happening to me..... things around the house started breaking and late fees in my accounts so i stopped and my circumstances returned to where they were which is way better...... so my conclusion is: we don't have to tithe money ......... just give what you can and expect GOD to bless your cash flow so you can give more to build his kingdom!
Sounds like you don’t trust in God to keep you from the problems you saw.
@@owezzel No I dont trust GOD to keep me from extra problems when I am giving donations under compulsion and not under grace. 2 Corinthians 9:7
Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
Amen
If you really paid attention. You would notice that never did he once say that those miracles involved tithing. He simply used the examples to show that even when it doesn't make sense, God will still provide for you more than you can ask. He's showing you that there is no reason for you to not pay tithe. And also, for the person that gave the example that you would be stealing from your landlord if you use money to pay tithe and offering. If you read the bible carefully, you can see that the tithe and offering should be taken out FIRST so that is a spiritual problem if you haven't tithed and you want to pay your bills first instead of giving back to the work of The Lord what is due. And, yes, it is possible to steal from God, just like it was possible for mere human sinners to brutally kill the Savior of the world. So let's stop being critical of our anointed preachers and try to study the word for ourselves and lovingly share the message with one another.
I remeber this sermon.. i was there! thank you SOOO much for posting it x
many of you will give money to a gambling house but wont spare a dime to the church for good causes?
Get back to Disneyland there Eric. Not one person said a word about gambling. Guilty much?
How do you know if it's a good cause?
💣
So many prosperity preachers are so rich with their MANSIONS , planes , etc , is this the true spending in what is given , preachers are not God , and money given would be better distributed among the poor elsewhere in the world . Tithing seems like poor people giving in order to receive , ,, , but giving , true giving is never expecting a return ,
The scripture quoted was in Malachi. Tithing is not mentioned in the NT; based on Acts, the people gave above and beyond the tithe; they pooled their resources for the good of the whole congregation. The tithe is the minimum requirement. Perhaps 10% become a non sequitur, because the people gave generously without compulsion. But, some of us Christians of today have become so selfish that we would begrudge the church 10% of our income.
You don't know what you are talking about. Tithing wasn't directed to the Israelite/Jews, Abraham tithe Genesis 14:18,20. And it is in the new testament as well Jesus told the pharisees they do good by returning tithes but they neglect the weightier part of their responsibilities, Matthew 23:23. Tithing is a method set up by God to take care of the people who commit their lives to service for the cause of the Gospel as Paul so wonderfully puts it in 1 Corinthians 9:13,14. Its in the bible.
Understanding Malachi 3:8 - 10 is actually very easy. All you have to do is to start reading Malachi from Chapter 1 verse 1, underline the word "you", take note who is this "you" and when you get a clear understanding of Malachi 3:8-10. Pastors who are using this scripture either do not read there Bible or it is their intention to manipulate you. Manipulation = witchcraft.
+André Vergottini First there is NO PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. Also Revelation NEVER refutes
scripture but will be WHOLLY supportive. Show me ONE scripture IN the
New Covenant that in any way form or fashion prescribes that Tithing is
to be practiced? You can't. Tithing and Tithes are mentioned approx 40
times in scripture with 35 being the OLD TESTAMENT. Truly Jesus referred
to Tithing (Mat 23:23/ Luk 11:42)
However it was ONLY BECAUSE he was in the dispensation of Law until
his death which completed it. He also specifically noted what the Tithe
was "Spice, Mint, Cummin" NOT MONEY. Another error to point out :Tithing
was also observed ONLY EVERY 3 YEARS (Deu 26:12)
Paul nor any Apostle EVER spoke or wrote on Tithing BECAUSE IT ENDED AT
CALVARY. If you have a scriptural reference to the contrary produce it.
If you to choose to ignore scripture and listen to men you worship them
NOT GOD but don't try to say it's supported by Scripture.
André Vergottini out of all the laws in the Old Testament why would you say that only tithe is only applicable do you even read your Bible?
This is the word of God if you believe it and have revelation than thite ....if you dont believe this message so dont thite...God want people that believe him....The bible isnt philosophy, its a Truth...believe when u pray Jesus said...God is a rewarder to those who seek him and obeys him everything u give to God and his kingdom he will return it back with interest....Jesus bless you all...Amennnnnnnnnnnn
Nicola Kanaan I love the spirit, GOD has put in you!
I'm sick and tired of these legalistic pastors telling people they are robbing God if they don't tithe. What about those in the congregation that can't pay their rent? Instead they pay the money they have to the church, and that's a sin because they are stealing from their landlord or whoever they owe money too. When are pastors gonna have faith that God and His people will provide and quit hounding and abusing the church of God! The holy spirit will move on peoples hearts if they should give or not. And yes there is a "not" there because the only type of giving in the new testament is free will. It is time for these pastors to realize what was accomplished at the cross, and move into having faith in God and his people to provide. We as a church don't need a set number, the new testament already makes it clear there isn't one. Also we are all anointed as believers, and the only true shepherd is Jesus Christ. Not some rich off God's people, legalistic, pharisaical pastor. You sir, Dr. Walter Pearson, are the one robbing God, and most of all you are robbing His children of the freedom they have in Jesus Christ work at the cross.
I agree its the rich greedy pastors robbing God..... They take their 10% from the person that can't pay the rent and they go out and buy a multi million dollar mansion with the church tithes..... Pastor makes sure his mortgage and utility bills get paid!!!
That's the problem right there I don't view the Bible as NT to OT, i view it as one book so when i read i read the bible not the NT or OT. Did you know that over 75% of the texts in the new testaments are quoting from the OT but you accept them because that what you've been taught. Where there is no law there is No sin. here you are telling me that we are not to keep the law? is that what you are saying? So if there is no law why do we still sin? And i am the brainwashed one? okay!!
Should we abide in sin so that Grace should abound? God forbids. Christ kept the whole law perfectly, Are we then to say that Christ kept it for me? If so, Why does Revelation says Here are the patients of the Saints, here are those that keeps the commandments of God and have the Testimony of Jesus? Where there is No law there is no sin. So if Christ kept the law for me so i don't have to, then there is No law and therefore there is no sin. Show me where the bible says Christ did that.
If a pastor and a hungry man are walking down the street and there is a gold coin on the ground who deserves the coin more?
Monetary Tithing is a false doctrine that started in 777 AD...........
Is tithing under grace? No
Is tithing for Christians? No
Is God's tithe monetary? No
Pastors, are they Levites? No
Did the Gentiles pay tithe? No
Is church the biblical storehouse? No
Should tithe be eaten outside Israel? No
Tithing, was it meant to pay church bills? No
Did God command non Israelites to pay tithe? No
Should tithe come from outside the land of Israel? No
Did the Levites had an inheritance in the land of Israel? No
I beg to defer, Tithing is also in the new testament as well. What was Jesus telling the Pharisees in Matthew when he told them the return tithes they do well but they neglect the weightier part of the law, Read Matthew 23:23 and read 1 Corinthians 9:13,14 and then run that through any bible commentary. It was speaking about Tithing son.
To begin with tithing is a principle that turns our focus to our Maker and Creator, if we don't have this right then everything about it will be so wrong,we ought to study to show ourselves approved not disapproved.
You missed my point by a mile. My comment was not stating that i am sinless, but rather that as True Christians we are obligated to keep the commandments. Have you ever seen a stealing, killing, christian? i haven't, in fact the bible calls people like that hypocrites. So as Christians shouldn't we strive to uphold the commandments that has be given to us? And again, i'll say, i do not keep the God's commandments to be saved but rather because i am saved. have a blessed day.
I'm sure some preachers don't mean to lie or be dumb, but a lot of this teaching is handed down from generation to generation and no one takes the time to research the teaching on tithing to see if it is biblically sound for today's Christians. I've paid tithes for almost 20 years- very faithfully- yet, I've never gotten any 'big' blessings b/c of it. I surely didn't get rich as they teach I would. After researching tithing extensively, I found that I've been just fearfully giving nearly $20,000 in an effort to obey the pastor. I've gotten more blessed NOT paying tithes than I have paying tithes.
can i have some of your research material.
Now, THAT'S music to my ears Tichaona Masuka . Yes, you surely can. I tell you what, let me give you some research sites on this: You tube searches: The tithing hoax, Tithing is NOT scriptural, No More TITHING, The truth about tithing - Malachi 3:10, www.letusreason.org/doct54.htm, and
www.tithing-russkelly.com/id15.html (the title to look under is The Secular History of Tithing. (It's a lot of reading so just go straight to the bold subheading that reads: The Church from the Fourth Century until the Eighth Century. (There's soooo much more- but you'll be able to continue your own research from here.) God bless. And brother once you get free from the false teaching of tithing- Please don't go off the deep end telling all of your brothers and sisters in Christ b/c you will be shunned and verbally stoned!!!! Many, many Christians are NOT ready for their EYES to come open yet. Just pray for your church family. (Also, research the churches on youtube and google who are NOW preaching- no-tithing b/c God opened up their pastors' understanding on it. (And please by all means- do not get into any DEBATE with others on tithing- b/c they will argue with you until their blue in the face about this Catholic imposed New Testament Church doctrine. Just get more understanding of tithing for yourself FIRST- Free yourself and pray about the others.) God bless.
sorry but currently do you go to church?
Do you?
Elaine Brown
i do
All who feel that they are not required to return tithes please dont confuse yourself just dont give no one is holding a gun to your neck ,but when something dreadful happens in your life just bawl hard God ,why me.We cant pay God though.Returning helps us to be loving ,kind unselfish to others.
Tithing is paying God so nothing bad happens to you. You said it both ways,which is it?
"When something dreadful happens...we can't pay God though"...confused much?
gene moore ignorance
God does NOT bless tithing, He blesses giving, study your bible please.
Just like in the past Tithing system, where the priest in the service of God that minister about holy things live of the things of the temple as Paul states in 1 Corinthians 9:13. Even so, (meaning just the same way" The Lord ORDAINED that they which preach the gospel should live of it. Bottom line the word Tithing doesn't appear in these verses but the principle of ancient tithing is illustrated, with Paul making the comparison with the priests and the temple and Preachers in his modern time
(Part 2 of 4)
Sometimes I hear ministers say things to people to try to get them to give money as what they call a “seed offering” as they tell the people to get something in return from God. On one such incident I heard on TV on Feb.10, 2019, the minister was telling the people that if they gave by faith they may receive 1000 times more back by a miracle by God , or they may be healed or receive some other type of miracle. The minister was telling a story about a person that was an illegal that paid thousands of dollars for legal fees to get a green card but was being told by the government they still would not get a green card, but when the person gave $1000 by faith the illegal person received the green card in the mail, thus the minister seems to be telling illegal people to give $1000 by faith to possibly receive your green card as an example of a miracle from God for giving $1000. The minister asked people viewing to call and give $1000 by faith, and on the bottom of the screen they placed some names of people and where they lived that apparently were giving $1000. The very odd thing at the end of this program was when on the TV screen the words appeared as a disclaimer that the ministry did not guarantee that people giving $1000 would receive any miracles at all. So the minister tells people to give $1000 in faith to receive a miracle, but they actually may not receive a miracle from God. Thus it appears the minister tells people that by faith if they give $1000 they can get a miracle from God because God promises the miracles, but that God may not give them miracles, and therefore the minister actually says in reality that God is a liar by the minister it seems to me in my opinion, however God is not a liar, the way the Bible is twisted and used by some ministers to get money is what is false and evil it seems to me !
The new testament tells us we are to give FREE WILL OFFERINGS, so if a person gives 5% or 10% or 50% or 100% of their monetary income that money is a FREE WILL OFFERING and not a tithe even if 10% of the money was given. I have asked a few tithing preaching ministers as well as some non tithing ministers have also asked where in the Bible it states to give money for tithing in any part of the Bible and no tithing minister has been able to show this any where in the old or new testament. And that is why it appears some people that may have read part of the Bible have not read the whole Bible it seems.
The Bible does state in it in the old testament that God commanded that edible things be given for tithing. Additionally in the Bible in the old testament it states that God commanded that money not to be given for tithing. The Bible never shows any place in it that God changed to want money for tithing ! God gives the commandment not to give money for tithing in the Bible, but some men that call themselves ministers tell people to disobey God's commandment and give money for tithing ! Is the Bible the truthful word of God or are the words of some men that call themselves ministers the truthful word of God that is what everyone needs to question for themselves, do they believe what is written in the Bible or do they believe the word of some men ? Do you obey God and not give money for tithing, or do you disobey God because some ministers tell you to ? The law was disannulled by God in the new testament, Jesus fulfilled the law, with Jesus as the new priesthood the law was changed, all this is stated in the Bible.
There is a video on RUclips where a minister asks for lots of money to be given on TV, he also said on the show that Satan gave him the message, and then says that he really should not have said that.
"EXCEPT when Jesus was rebuking the self-righteous Pharassies for their hypocrisy" So there is a text in the new testament about tithing and Jesus told them they should tithe but not neglect the other parts, like love and mercy etc. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
Dr. Pastor Walter L Pearson Jr.
Which sin can Jesus not deliver a person from? Is it stealing? Murdering? Lying? Adultery? What sin can we not stop doing through the power of Jesus?
That's why Paul writes, " the law is the knowledge of sin" in other words we know we've sinned by the law. Your mix up is to think that we believe we are saved by the law, we don't believe that. For by grace are we saved through faith. We don't keep God's commandments to be saved my friend, we keep em because we are saved and we love Jesus. Is it not written " if you love me keep my commandments" and those that keep his commandments are refer to as his Saints in revelation. is it wrong to obey?
wow in the name of God
A tithe is not money it more valuable than that...... it is holy organic food!
Thanking God for still using Pastir Pearson
Monetary Tithing is a false doctrine that started in 777 AD.,,,,,,,,
Is tithing under grace? No
Is tithing for Christians? No
Is God's tithe monetary? No
Pastors, are they Levites? No
Did the Gentiles pay tithe? No
Is church the biblical storehouse? No
Should tithe be eaten outside Israel? No
Tithing, was it meant to pay church bills? No
Did God command non Israelites to pay tithe? No
Should tithe come from outside the land of Israel? No
Did the Levites had an inheritance in the land of Israel? No
>>> One of my favorite questions to ask tithing teachers and tithers...
QUESTION; Where and when did God transfer the ownership of the tithe from the Tribe of Levi to any Pastor, Church, Ministry or anyone? If you don't OWN the tithe, you have NO right to collect it in any shape or form from anyone...
"And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation." - Numbers 18:21
SINCE WHEN did you (or your church) inherit the Tithe? Can you show me Book, Chapter and Verse where God has given the tithe to you, your church, or your ministry?
(Part 1 of 4) Money was never used for the tithe in the Bible ! God commanded that money not be given for the tithe in the old testament. Will a man disobey God and give money for a tithe ?
If we try to follow each and every one of the old laws then the Bible tells us we shall remain under the old laws that we as people can not be able fulfill all the old laws, and then shall those people remain under the old curses and not under the Grace of Jesus, we need to be practical in the way we do things naturally of course, and some things that are taught are practical but consider the following that I write about, and some Bible verses are shown below for you to read to see what the Bible has written in it. 1. The Bible tells us that God commanded that only plants and animals be given for tithing, 2. In the Bible we can read that God commanded that if a person had money when they were at the place to tithe that they were to take the money and buy what their soul longeth to eat and bring those edible things only for tithing and not to give money for tithing, 3. To give money for tithing is actually the breaking of God's laws and commandments that were given in the Bible as mentioned beforehand, 4. To continue to follow the old laws of the Bible then, in the new testament it tells us that you then remain under the old curse and are not under the Grace of Jesus, 5. In Hebrews 7 the Bible tells us that the old laws were weak and unprofitable for us and that the laws were disannulled and the priesthood was changed through Jesus because the priests had to offer up sacrifices daily but Jesus only needed to offer himself up only once for us, 6. If ministers tell people we are still under the old laws of giving, then why do they not preach all the laws that were commanded for giving such as redeeming your property, and paying money for your sin offering, and paying a certain amount of money every year according to your age and gender, etc. ? 7. The Bible tells us we are to give Free Will offerings now, 8. The word tithe means basically 10% of something, but in the Bible tithing was done regarding several different things or different years so the giving of tithes was much more then 10% of the things, 9. Tithing in the Bible was only done a few certain times of the year, not every week !, 10. Abraham tithed to Melchizedek from the spoils of war and not from any wages earned, further if you read elsewhere in the Bible we can read that Abraham had received from a King the amount of 1000 pieces of silver and animals and land, but if you read the Bible there is no where in the Bible that states Abraham tithed anything from the 1000 pieces of silver or animals or land that he received.
My question is then why would anyone want to try to give money for tithing since it appears that this is actually disobeying God's commandments written in the Bible, and you would remain under the old curses and not under Grace as written in the Bible, and it appears you would be telling God that he does not have the authority to disannull his laws, and it appears you would be denying Jesus's priesthood and sacrifice of himself for us as the ultimate sacrifice only needed once and once only, so why would anyone what to do this ? Yes, give offerings to support your church, give 10% or 1%, or 50% or whatever, but the money is a Free Will offering and not a tithe. The old law of giving 10 % of your increase (the tithe) of crops and animals was Holy in the Old Testament as it was required by law by God's laws that God gave to mankind, and yes that tithe of the old testament was Holy, however, there is no place in the Bible that states to give 10% of your monthly income of money in the Bible at all either in the Old Testament or New Testament, and that is the error that people are being taught by some tithing ministers that money is to be given for tithing. A Bible College Professor in Florida once wrote a document about tithing, in such document he states that giving the 10% tithe in the Bible was and has always been regarding only edible things and not giving money for tithing and that there is no place in the Bible that states that money is to be given for tithing. There are many other ministers that also preach that the tithe was always edible things according to God's law of what to give for tithing and not money. I have even heard a Jewish Rabbi lecture that the Jewish tithe from the old testament was always edible things from the land or animals, I can not think of anyone that would know more about the old laws of the old testament about tithing then a Rabbi, further the Rabbi stated that the act of giving money for tithing is something that only some Christian ministers have come up with to get money from people and that to give money for tithing is not Biblical according to the old testament. Yes, people in the old testament sometimes gave offerings also of money or gold, etc., but the things given were given as free offerings.
There's nothing you can do to gain Gods favour or reward, God is sovereign and he saves us by his grace, these charismatic charlatans always misinterpret scripture.
inncorrect
"[A]nd instead of the law enjoining the giving of tithes, [He told us] to share all our possessions with the poor"
-Irenaeus (AD 130-202.), AGAINST HERESIES, BOOK IV., CHAP. XIII.
"On the monthly day, if he likes, each puts in a small donation; but only if it be his pleasure, and only if he be able: for there is no compulsion; all is voluntary."
-Tertullian (AD 160-225), THE APOLOGY, Chapter XXXIX.
it not just a charlatan Andrew,but this thing can work only when one believes in god.this means without faith it cannot work
Tithes were NEVER money! Only Jews under law were EVER compelled to tithe! Even if you wanted to tithe like the Jews under law, where would you find a Levitical Priest to bring your tithe to? There are many examples of NT giving, but NO examples of ANY Christian EVER being compelled to give a tithe. NT is giving is found in 2 Cor 9:7!
You're so right here Greg Settle . And it's good to see that your eyes are opened on this matter. In the New Testament - the apostles even preached AGAINST 'Giving out of Compulsion' That's 'fear-based' giving. Love your comment.
what a hustler
Regarding the tithe, this depends on your faith and commitment to God and His Scriptures..Just don't talk about tithe if you don't believe in it nor in God...The Scriptures are right depending you believe it or not...May the Holy Spirit enlightens your mind and may He touches your heart.
Ramatoa since you know the scripture, what part of the scripture don't you understand where the difference is between tithe of the land and money? do you know the requirements of tithes to even talk about tithe?
Tithe... a very misunderstood and abused subject. This is why when we read the word of God, let us not take the verses out of context. Tithing is absolutely abolished at the cross, as are all the other laws and ceremonies of the first covenant that served as a prefiguration of what was to come. Even if now the tithes where to been practiced properly it would have been impossible. The four type of tithes according to the bible; 1. Self tithe: taking a tenth of the yearly income of the land (oil, grain etc.),consuming it with your household in Jerusalem (because there God chose to establish His name and celebrating of the feasts), 2. Yearly tithe for the fatherless, stranger and widow within your gates. 3. Every 3 years a tithe for the Levites (who served in the temple and therefor did not own any land to produce any food) 4. The levites provide a tithe for the priest of the temple (Aaron's descendants),from their received tithe. Malachi 3:10; the infamous lie that has tricked so many into paying churchbuildings (what has now become a buisiness), speaks to the Levites and not to the regular congegration for they were not aqcuired to give tithe to the priests. The Levites were robbing God in not giving tithes to the priest! So in order to ever practice these tithing, you must have found descendants of Aaron, and the Levites and on top of that rebuild the temple so they can be in permanent service to the Lord......... And besides, as we all know that the bible clearly states that we are the temple of the Lord and that everything (the customs and rituals) from the old covenant, a prefiguration was of what was to come...... Jesus! That's why He said; it is finished! Or it is ACCOMPLISHED!!!
And for those who say Abraham payed tithes are not correct. For the bible states that after defeating the Amalakites he gave the head priest of Salem, Melchizedek a tenth of the loot/spoils he salvaged of the war and not of his own wealth. He gave this out of the treasure of his heart, out of free will. We see this clearly was not a custom for he never repeated this action. He never gave tithe again and never required his sons to; Isaac, Jacob, Joseph etc. No one ever repeated this and therefore it is ruled out for it to be a custom or an requirement of God. And that roots back to being a child of Abraham, a child of faith, a child of the new covenant, the law of Spirit. Everything flows forth from the heart and does not condemn by law! You should be a cheerful giver but you are not acquired by God to tithe! AMEN!
CelebStarShann amen !
(Part 4 of 4) The many verses I have written show that: 1. God found the law as stated in the Bible to be weak and unprofitable as shown in scripture. 2. God disannulled the law as shown in scripture (thus it was the ending the giving of edible tithes). 3. I have been accused of saying that tithes were never given in the Bible, but I have never said that tithes of edible things were not given under the law before, but I do say that money was not to be given for tithing based on scripture that I have shown. So the person that said that I said tithes were never given in the Bible has stated a complete lie against me. 4. The many scriptures I have shown show that the law was changed, the law was disannulled, Jesus fulfilled the law for us, by the priesthood being changed the laws were changed, etc.
I know tithing thinking people will not accept any of these things from the Bible scriptures and they will continue to say they practice the old laws of tithing except they change God's word of giving only edible things to now the giving of money even though the Bible says not to give money and the Bible also says not to change God's word !
I have even heard now that a tithing thinking person say that the Jewish people do not understand the old testament about tithing, WOW ! I have heard some tithing ministers say at different times: that if you do not tithe do not come to their church because the seats are only for tithing people, or if you do not tithe you will die, or if you do not tithe you will have a divorce, or if you do not tithe the minister would like to kill you, I heard one minister say that he was looking for some place in the Bible that would say he could kill people that said bad things about him, or say that if you do not tithe you will lose your job, or I have seen a church I visited that the tithing people received special prayer from the minister while the other people did not, etc., does this look like a love for money ? Of course on the other hand I have heard a tithing minister say if you gave him $4,000 he will tell God to let you and your whole family into heaven (he preaches buying salvation it seems), or when you tithe you will receive 100 times back that from God (apparently he preaches God drops money from Heaven ?), or give tithes and you will get rich (yes I have seen a few people that gave 10% of their money claim to get rich with their work but would they have gotten rich any way ? , but on the other hand I have seen so many people tithe and be so poor, for instance an old retired couple that was asked to speak in church about their giving tithes and they said they gave tithes all their lives and were able to have enough money left over to buy and eat macaroni and cheese and other cheap foods), or a minister that kept telling people to give tithes and they would get rich was confronted by the people telling him they were not getting rich and he told them they just had to keep believing and giving tithes to get rich (some one did get rich eventually as I saw when that minister said he had enough money now that he was retiring from the ministry and buying a bunch of land and have a resort), anyway it always seems like they tell people to give the money and they will get rich or that you are robbing from God sometimes.
There is a video on RUclips where a minister says that God will kill you if you do not tithe by giving all your money in the new testament if you say you are going to give it all. The actually part of the Bible he refers to says a man and wife sold their property for money and gave part of their money to the phophets and kept some of the money but they said they gave it all, and because they said they gave it all and lied about it they died because of their lie. There is nothing here written in the Bible about tithing at all, remember money was commanded by God in the old testament not be given for tithing, but it is mentioned in wording here that there was no requirement for them to give any of the money that they were free to give what they wanted or keep what they wanted so it was a free will offering, they died because they made such a big lie and said that they were giving all the money they had received from selling their property.
If God killed them for lieing about giving everything they had and they did not, then I personally think some of these ministers better worry about God killing them for lieing about what is written in the Bible don't you think ?
Numbers 23:19 guarantees all Gods promises in all scriptures.
God only honors his own words. God does not have to honor any prayers that dont line up with his words period.
Interest in how he left out. Main ideal of Malachi it talks of priest robbing God. By giving damaged offerings and keeping the gd offetings for themselves this guy is a layer !!

Giving Tithe is robbing GOD. Because Tithe of old testament is not only 10% but 30%. It means any one who tithe rob GOD 20% which belong to Him. In fact, any preacher who encourage Christians to tithe encourages Robbing GOD. God demand heart of men rather than physical stuffs. If 100% heart is towards GOD, then 100% possession of men also becomes God. Christians are not under law but under grace. If I deserve execution for crime and judge forgives me, I will give all my possession than only 10%.
Thank you Pastor but preach how people should get come to Christ and get save
Who was God through Malachi talking to he was talking to the Jewish people not to gentile.Did Jesus collect tithes or Paul or Peter these apostles has a job Paul was a tent maker. When the church collect tithes do they give a tenth to another church or support the widows or orphans.? Christian should give offering not tithing churches becomes a prosperity business take a good look at all the churches God need you to be holy not your money church need your money and is not concern about how you live.
Tithe is the price you pay for not reading the Bible. If you let other people read for you and twist Malachi 3:10 the way they want. You will be in slavery of tithe while Jesus set you free long time ago.
Good reading kraw7272...I was thinking the exact same thing.
You are two tongued. because above you said i am saying i commit no sin, when that's exactly what you are saying the bible says down here. Paul illustration is that if we are led by the spirit of God we cannot be practicing a sinful lifestyle. To sin we must brake our connection with God, making us workers of satan,( to who you give in to lord and master to obey) By this comment your refuted your previous one pertaining to my post about keeping the commandments.
*3 easy ways to prove tithing:*
1. Abraham tithed (Genesis 14:20; Hebrews 7:2). Not only this, but his children tithed (Genesis 28:22).
2. NT Christians are called "children of Abraham" (Galatians 3:7, 9, 26, 29).
3. *Real children* of Abraham "do the works of Abraham" (John 8:39).
It also should be noted that Abraham believed in Christ, the Sabbath, and the sanctity of marriage.
*If there is no Law, then there can be no sin:*
• Romans 3:20 "For by the Law is the knowledge of sin."
• Romans 4:15 "For where no Law is, there is no transgression."
• Romans 7:7 "I had not known sin, but by the Law."
• 1 John 3:4 "For sin is the transgression of the Law."
*If there is no sin, then there can be no death:*
• Romans 5:12 "By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin."
• Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death."
• 1 Corinthians 15:56 "The sting of death is sin."
• James 1:15 "Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
Now if there is no death, because there's no Law, then *I am therefore immortal!*
*However,* the Scriptures plainly teach that *God alone is immortal:*
• Deuteronomy 33:27 "The eternal God."
• Isaiah 9:6 "The everlasting Father."
• Isaiah 57:15 "The high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity."
• Romans 16:26 "The everlasting God."
• 1 Timothy 1:17 "Now unto the King Eternal, immortal... the only wise God."
• 1 Timothy 6:16 "Who only hath immortality."
Therefore, *I WOULD BE GOD!*
...And isn't that exactly what *the serpent* claimed?
Genesis 3:1-5 "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. *AND THE SERPENT SAID* unto the woman, *YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE:* for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and *YE SHALL BE AS GODS,* knowing good and evil."
This reasoning plainly shows us that these two great lies -- that the Law of God is not binding upon Christians today;, and that man is by nature immortal -- originate with him whom Jesus calls "the father of lies" in John 8:44. The DEVIL!
pastor anointing, I am not a pastor but can i teach you what prophet Malachi really teaches from chapter 1 and not chapter 3 8? I'm sure Prophet Malachi was talking to the New Testament Church isn't it?
Wasn't Tithing before the Law?
actually it is mentioned in the new testament.
Dr. Pearson, it appears you do not fast (nor pray?) much. Perhaps laboring with your hands might be in order?
Son i'm not going to argue what the scripture with you. The bible says thou shall not steal, and thou shall not kill and thou shall not bow down ourselves to strange images, I'm i then to say that the law is void and is to show men's sinful nature? Or i'm i to say say its sin to do any of those things? Answer this, Is i wrong/sinful to steal, kill, worship false gods etc? I don't know know about you, but i keep the commandments because i'm a child of God. I don't try to explain em away.
remember the conversation between the rich yound ruler and christ?
Giving generously to the church is a good thing; check your bible (OT/NT).
Giving and tithing are two different things. Please do a little studying.
>>> The Lie of New Testament "Storehouse Tithing."
The storehouse is mentioned a few times in the Old Testament; many of those verses, especially Malachi 3:10 ( "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house..." ), are used by tithing teachers to teach something they call "Storehouse tithing;" a claim that Christians must bring the tithe of their income into "the storehouse," and of course, the storehouse is further claimed to be the local church or other organization one must tithe to.
> Among scriptures mentioning the storehouse, or other storehouses, are the following...
- Genesis 41:56
- Deuteronomy 28:8
- Deuteronomy 28:12
- Deuteronomy 32:34
- 1 Chronicles 27:25
- 2 Chronicles 32:28
- Psalm 33:7
- Jeremiah 50:26
- Job 38:22
- Malachi 3:10
- Luke 12:24
- Jeremiah 10:13
- Jeremiah 51:16
- Psalm 33:7
> Some false teachers such as Rick Warren, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, TD Jakes, Robert Morris, John Hagee, among many others, attempt to equate the Old Testament Temple Storehouse (sometimes called the "treasure house") with their organizations by claiming that any ministry that "feeds you" (i.e., their "bible teaching") becomes "the storehouse to you," and therefore you must tithe to "your storehouse." That is to say, hand over ten percent of your monetary income to them.
Additionally, they attempt to use Malachi 3:10 to further deceive people into believing that they are the storehouse to be tithed to;
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, " - Malachi 3:10
Sadly, Malachi 2:1 and Nehemiah 10:38 are conveniently ignored which makes it clear that Malachi was addressing the Priests of his day, not New Testament Christians; the Priests, who were responsible for bringing 1/0 of the tithe into the storehouse, not anyone else;
"And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you." - Malachi 2:1
"And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house." - Nehemiah 10:38
Tithing teachers also ignore Malachi's clear statement that he is instructing tithing to the Priests under the Law of Moses which New Testament Believers are NOT under:
"Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments." - Malachi 4:4
The Word of God reveals that we, as New Testament Believers, we are not under the Law of Moses (the Torah), and therefore Malachi 3:10 is NOT instructing a Christian to tithe;
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." - Romans 10:4
"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." - Romans 6:14
"Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" - Acts 15:24
> In fact, God has...
1. NEVER instructed any Gentile to tithe to the storehouse.
2. NEVER instructed any Israeli to tithe to the storehouse unless they were a Levite under the Law of Moses, and are supervised by a Levite Priest who is a direct descendant of Aaron; and even in that case, what was brought to the storehouse was one percent, not ten percent, of the total (a 10th of the 10th); Nehemiah 10:38.
3. NEVER instructed any New Testament Christian to bring a tithe into the storehouse.
4. NEVER designated a gathering of New Testament Believers (aka; a church) or any other New Testament ministry or organization as the storehouse.
5. NEVER recorded any activity where any New Testament Believers paid tithes to any storehouse, or paid any tithe at all to anyone at any time.
6. NEVER transferred the ownership of the tithe from the Tribe of Levi to any Pastor, Church, Ministry or anyone; If you don't OWN the tithe, you have NO right to collect it in any shape or form from anyone. Numbers 18:21.
>> According to scripture, the vast majority of the tithes of Israel (the first tithe) were NOT brought to the Temple Storehouse, but rather to Levitical cities...
"And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage." - Nehemiah 10:37
>> The ONLY situation where God has commanded storehouse tithing is in the Law of Moses, and the ONLY way God has commanded how it was to be done is that of the Levites bringing 1/10 of the tithe they collected into the Storehouse under the direct supervision of a Priest descended from Aaron. Only the first tithe (and only 1/10 of it) was brought to the Temple Storehouse; only the Priests who were a descendant of Aaron could supervise the bringing of the tenth of the tenth to the storehouse, no one else was authorized to do so. The other two tithes were not brought to the storehouse. Deuteronomy 14:22-29
Even a Levite without the direct supervision of a Priest descended from Aaron had no commandment or authorization to bring any tithes to the Temple Storehouse; Nehemiah 10:38.
>> Because God has never instructed anyone other than a Levite supervised by a Priest descended from Arron to bring any tithe into the storehouse, it is clear that Malachi 3:10 is not instructing a New Testament Believer to do so. In Malachi 2:1, Malachi states that the Priests are to bring the tithes into the storehouse, not anyone else...
"And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you." - Malachi 2:1
In Malachi 4:4, Malachi makes it also clear that the Israelis he is addressing are under the Law of Moses, and that his instructions are based on the Law of Moses...
"Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments." - Malachi 4:4
We are not under the Law...
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." - Romans 10:4
"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." - Romans 6:14
"Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law [i.e., tithe: Jesus said tithing was a matter of the law - Matt. 23:23]: to whom we gave no such commandment:" - Acts 15:24
>> In conclusion; Believers are to be free will givers as guided by the Holy Spirit in their giving, not tithers in any form at all, and no Believer under the New Testament is given any instructions to bring any tithe into any storehouse. Tithing teachers who claim and teach "storehouse tithing" are false teachers and liars.
"Storehouse tithing" is simply another method that false teachers keep a person in economic slavery to them.
Jesus promised; "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32
it's amazing they build fancy buildings make you comfortable then go after your wallet while telling u you going to heaven and the church world does a poor job exposing it.
I'm sorry, but the story about the widow giving a cake to the prophet and resulting in getting blessed is not an indication of paying tithes. God didn't even ask her to give a tenth of her meal to him. Okay, how is it that this preacher gets 'paying tithes' out of these example scriptures. The fish and loaves of bread was not a tithe, but rather this little boy's offering to Jesus. (It wasn't mandatory for him to give this bread and fish, but he just gave it out of his heart) As a result, he took home a lot more fish and bread, than he began with, for him and his family.

Monetary Tithing is a false doctrine that started in 777 AD............
Is tithing under grace? No
Is tithing for Christians? No
Is God's tithe monetary? No
Pastors, are they Levites? No
Did the Gentiles pay tithe? No
Is church the biblical storehouse? No
Should tithe be eaten outside Israel? No
Tithing, was it meant to pay church bills? No

Did the Levites had an inheritance in the land of Israel? No
The old covenant was to release us of the ordinances. Check your bible. The ordinances are listed in Leviticus. He still gives blessings for tithing.
Bring all the tithe is not only 10% but Bible say "ALL THE TITHE" not just only tithe. All the tithes covers 30% of gross income not net remaining. Other thing, storehouse is not the Church but it was literally storehouse of Jews temple. GOD made the law to tithe for Jews, because high priest, priests, levities and their family would had to depend and survive by this. Church is not a building but people. Christians must give cheerfully and without measuring percentage. We must give the best only
from what I can see typing is food, into my surprise wine and hard drink Wow. and I am to enjoy the time also. there is a verse in the Bible that says, you shouldn't add or diminish from the scripture. why diminish food and add money? I noticed when people are ministering on Titan they are not going precept upon precept line upon line here a little and there a little. whether you know it or not we are still in slavery and the Gentiles is banking on it.
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
Deuteronomy 14:22-27 KJV
Irrelevant whether the money donated goes to make the pastor or people on the SDA conference committee wealthy.
I have seen Church of England ministers and Catholic priests happily living modest lives -- living in the poorest communities transforming peoples lives (also Steve Savage Baptist pastor RIP)
WILL A MAN ROB GOD?
This is one of the scriptures which have been used by false preachers to threaten / rob congregants of their money abusing scriptures.
Firstly, you must understand that the bible is a book of parables and proverbs/ written in a hidden language (Matthew 13:34-35, John 16:25, Psalms 78:2). When the bible says ‘Can a man rob God?’ it’s not literal because literally robbing means the one robbed is weaker/ vulnerable/ defenseless WHILST the Robber is stronger/ manipulative/ well-armed. If we take it literally it means God is weak. Is God defenseless from mere mortals (men)? God Forbid! He is the Almighty God, The Creator even of the Devil. So without controversy we ought to know or understand in what manner does men ‘rob’ God?
Malachi 3:8-12
3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
3:10 Bring 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.
Robbery definition:
Formal definition: the action of taking property unlawfully from a person or place by force or threat of force.
Informal definition: unashamed swindling or overcharging.
The key word is PROPERTY, because the force, the threat, the swindling or overcharging happens in order to take the PROPERTY from its owner.
We must remember scriptures like Isaiah 55:8, Numbers 23:19 and Luke 15:16 which reminds and warn us that God and Men are very much different. According to man robbery is an act of using force or threat to take from a weaker person BUT God being Almighty, All Powerful He is introducing His own definition of robbery obviously deviant from man’s definition where the weaker one ‘robs’ the Almighty.
Let us understand also that for you to be robbed you must have the PROPERTY. What then is God’s Property/ Asset? God has only ONE PROPERTY; His ONLY Begotten Son / The Word (John 1:18, John 3:16, Romans 8:29, John 20:17, Hebrews 2:11).
So Malachi, as one of the prophets, he was not just telling Israel to obey the Law of Moses (Which was a shadow of the good things Hebrews 10:1, Colossians 2:17). But the law was a shadow, so for Israel to pay tithes and offerings it was supposed to be followed as per commandment/ pattern so that when the GOOD THINGS/ which is Christ come we can relate well from the pattern.
Let me repeat this: In Malachi God was reminding the children of Israel after the Babylonian captivity that you are no longer paying tithes and offerings WHICH MEANS you are distorting the PATTERN. Distorting the pattern (Israel not paying tithes and offering) is robbery! I will explain why?
God has One Thing, Christ and Christ alone. So All the prophets wrote about Christ (Luke 24:35-27/44, John 5:45, Acts 3:18, Acts 26:22-, Romans 1:1-4).
That why Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 1:8 that the law is good that is if we know what the law teaches about, the subject matter of the law.
Christ is the TITHE. TITHE is 1/10; 10%, the number ten (10) represents the Old Testament order because the ten (10) commandments are the face of the Law of Moses. So the message of Tithe was "I gave you the Old Testament and from thence I must get back Christ''. If you read Deuteronomy 14:22-, Leviticus 27:30 tithe was eaten by those who would have paid it. Why? Because when we are listening to the 'Christo-centric' Gospel according to 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are converted to be like the image/ Christ which we should see from the Scriptures.
So where are people robbing God? God has His Only Son, Christ. He wrote the bible to talk about His Son. He gave the Law of Moses and the Prophets (Old Testament) to write about Christ. And what are the false Teachers and Prophets of our days doing? Instead of teaching Christ from the law of Tithes and Offerings they are collecting tithes, that’s robbing God? Scriptures where God is expecting to get back Christ like Genesis 2:24 they are wedding using them, some starting companies and buying stands using scriptures. This is robbery! But Apostle Paul paid tithe by explaining that Genesis 2:24 talks about Christ from Ephesians 5:30-32. This is proper tithe-paying in the New Testament...... Coming out with Christ from the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures.
But the Most interesting thing is Malachi did not just talk about tithe but Offering but the hungry pastors they raise their emotions on tithes but rarely mention anything about offering in connection with 'robbing' God. But God said ‘...In tithes and offerings’ and not just TITHE. WHY TITHE? The answer is hunger, their god is their belly (Philippians 3:19).
But I have touched on tithe and now as I conclude I will talk about offerings. All the offerings that were required by the Law of Moses, they were supposed to be paid during the Old Testament era according to the pattern so that when Christ / The Good Things come we can also refer and understand that the burnt offerings and the sin offerings were just but a shadow of Christ. So Suppose Israel failed to pay these, how were we going to learn about Christ from them? This was robbery? And now in our days people are robbing / swindling Christ and they put where Christ should be, marriages, weddings, cars, houses, stands, business etc.
Hebrews 10:6-10, When Christ came in the flesh (Galatians 4:4), He wanted to be the fulfillment of the burnt and sin offering of the Old Testament. You must also understand that the whole order of the Old Testament failed to give people righteousness including the tithes and all the offerings (Romans 3:19-21, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 7:11….)
So we who believe in the offering of the body of Christ and on the Cross we are not robbing God in offering. Why? Because we acknowledge the death of the Mosaic Law on the Cross (Colossians 2:13-17, Ephesians 2:14-16, Hebrews 8:13…) is the offering.
So can a man rob God? The answer is yes! The second question is what does God have? The answer is ONLY Begotten Son! The third question is how does the robbery happen? The answer is by not coming out with Christ from the scriptures or replacing Christ by the man of god or yourself!
God bless you---- If you believe this Gospel.
The Levites were dependent on the offerings and tithes brought to the temple. Their God ordained duty was to officiate in the temple working 24 hours per day.
When the temple was rebuilt after the Israelites returned from Babylon captivity, the Levites were being neglected. Their families were in distress because of the lack of finances to help in maintaining the temple including food for their families and themselves.
The meat eaten by them, the grains eaten, etc. were provided through tithes and offerings brought to the temple by the Israelites (commanded by God).
Most of all, the Israelites were NOT Giving God his ordained portions of the tithes and offerings. Therefore THEY ROBBED GOD.
I challenge you, try God, pay tithes. I watched God bless a fourth of a pound of ground beef and increased it as if there were 5 lbs when I had to feed seven people. It was all I had in the freezer. I prayed and reminded God I paid tithes. I assure you every fork-full of spaghetti eaten overflowed with ground beef. I could continue forever and a day about THIS GOD I SERVE!!!! THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD!!!!
B blessed!!!☀️⛈☂️
@@sueturner1479 it is better if you respond with a well verses-balanced argument as i have done above.
For a reminder again,the book of malachi must not worry us too much ,since the recipients of the words ""you are robbing me"" were written on malachi 1:1
Gentiles were not addressed at that scripture.Even Israelites by birth cannot claim it, because there is neither Jew nor Gentile after the cross(new testament).

The tithe was never money but livestock and farm produce. Money existed in those days but the tithe was the fruit of the land of Israel. Use a bible concordance and whenever you come across the word "tithe" you will see for yourself it always refers to food and produce. Please don't let yourselves be fleeced by anyone.

The Tithe Dies in Acts 15.
I do not understand this constant digging up this “Dead Horse” or patching an old wineskin. The tithe is not in or required by the New Covenant we have as Christians. The Church (means “Called Out” assembly, not a building or temple) in Acts 15, this was decided by the Holy Spirit that Gentiles (that is me and all the non-Jews) are not under any of the Old Covenant. We as Christians are to support missions, by example, we are to support an elder that teaches and preaches, Remember that Paul was a tentmaker by trade and supported himself sometimes. We are to support those in need, we are to give not the 10% or the 23% of the actual OT tithe that the Jew is required to give, but to give 100% of our time, money, goods, and life. Generously and freely giving happy to give not under law or rule.
We do a lot of things out of tradition and convenience. The fans like this tactic.The church attender can check that box and move on with their life. Followers know that Jesus does not come by on Sundays to count nickels and noses. Someone will have to explain why we in America have churches on every corner and homeless in the streets, widows no one cares about, orphans without homes, sick with no caregiver and the lost stay lost while we squabble. We have leaders that fleece the flock to promote more programs and buildings to keep rich preachers and their lackeys in positions of power to lead sheep to strange practices that divide the flock.
Jesus called us to be Salt and Light, to take up a cross and follow Him. Wash feet!
If all the fans and sometimes visitors, tire kickers and " fair weather Christians" did not attend or give (and most of these don't give) could your building keep the bills paid? Keep the doors open? If so, You may be a member of a social club not a Church of the New Testament. Love your enemies, forgive them, Love your neighbors, serve them, wash the feet of your brothers and sisters. Luke 14: 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
Sorry brother, 1stly, God was not talking to you or me. Why not read all 4 books of Malachi and see to who God was talking to, also see in chapter 1 vs 1 whom was it written to. Nowhere in the new testament tighs were mentioned. Paul said give with a good heart, God loves a cheerful giver. So, God was speaking to the priests for bringing lame and sick offerings. You will always notice all these preachers begin with chapter 3 from vs 7, then it looks like it is speaking of you and me. Read all 4 books preachers, with all do respect. You will answer for the false teaching, God bless 🙌
Malachi chapter 3 verses 8-10 is often taken out of context. To really understand what the Lord is talking about read Malachi chapter 1 verses 6-14. The evidence is irrefutable.
We are to support the work of the Lord but we are not to tithe to do so. We often ignore the widow and less fortunate in order to give that 10%. We cannot save our selves or gain special favor by tithing.
Wow! No mention of the BLOOD of Jesus, NAME of Jesus, nor the cross of Christ. $1000 challenge to ANY non-spritual leader that's financially living the Malachi blessing. Write me a $30k check.
I wonder did this broke college student get money in his bank account or wallet b/c he started tithing. Ever notice that when church pastors 'promise or guarantee' abundant blessings b/c of tithing- their congregation of tithers just sit there and look dumb-founded. Why? B/c, they've been paying tithes for years and have not seen any BIG blessings and they're trying to figure out what the pastor is talking about- b/c they are STILL STRUGGLING.
God does not owe us anything whatever we get is a plus !
Nancy Cruz You're right, God doesn't owe us anything- but he wants to give us EVERYTHING. (The bible states: If I gave you my only begotten son, how much more will I give you the kingdom") Wow!!!! But, guess what He doesn't say??...He doesn't say He'll bless us with things or money if we pay our tithes. Notice, unlike what many preachers are preaching today from these pulpits, God does not measure his goodness and blessings in the form of whether or not you're paying tithes. (Thank God for that- he's just good anytime, all the time, and just because He's God - that's it)
learn to wait upon Jesus....even if it takes 50 years or the day b4 u die...wait...because your reward is in heaven
and you are right he doesnt bless us with things or money because we are paying tithes...god is a merciful god (dnt pay tithes thinkin that its to get blessing), but if god blesses you with a job, with material things, prove to god that its not the money or vanity you are after, you dont love money but god himself..so in faith and willingness take out your tithes and offering out your money before u get any other task done (if you cant, then u dnt put your full trust in god to say that even if i dnt have any money god will provide so i will give, so u use every dollar to accomplish what you want but what about the god that provided you with that money or job, do you depend on your money to get through life and not Jesus?), even if its your last dollar to buy something to eat... sweet sugar 101..would you willingly give that dollar as an offering? if that answer is NO...your faith is not strong in the lord....for god is your provider..he can provide for you if u believe in him and him alone and accept him as you saver, he can do even the impossible....dnt be trickd into thinking that tithes shouldnt be payed...it should be, just dnt depend on it for blessing or put it over the real truth which is faith, gods mercy, grace and love.
If PASTORS and decons want to use the money in an ungodly way gods wrath will be upon them and not you. God knows you gave the money to help build and upgrade the church, pay light bills and water bills, help the needy who come to pastors for help, buy food for street people, pay the janitors who clean church etc.
But if a pastor literally come to you and say i use the tithes and offerings for his own needs....be wise, dnt stay or go to that church.
Let the Pastors trust God to provide for them
Tithing only full some of these preachers pockets you should not give to god so he can give to you read your bible for yourself and pray that god will give you understanding of his word then you wiil see what he is teaching about tithing is wong.
This guy is wrong.
l would like to see his bank account
Don't equate God's blessings with temporal wealth please ,your greatly blessed the way you are.
how about circumcision, y not preach also. and all other laws....repent dont waste the grace of God....ur in danger men...Gal.5:4
get a job
These so called preachers are not God --so dont give anything to them. You can bet that they are going to have a materially prosperous lifestyle because of your generosity. --See on you tube and other media their excesses --private Jets, luxary hotels( $10 000 a night etc)
Give to established churches where you know the money is going to -- to help the poor and needy & where the priest / vicar /pastor leads a modest lifestyle in accordance with the modest way Jesus lived.
Theologian Expert ????? WOW..(Ofcourse YOU can't keep God's Laws ..by yourself. It is through his grace that trudge along life's way. That's why there's s much SLIDING/Falling Back to sin. because we try to make it on our own.. Theologian Expert .. hhmmpphhff.. !
This guy have not idea on what he is speaking. We are not under the law. Bring all the tithes which means more than one. 23% is really what they brought and it was not money.
LOL! Jesus kicked the Mosaic law out. The tithe was for Levites and it the priests who were robbing God nothing to do with Gentiles. People need to start reading their Bibles and ask God for wisdom
Of course we are not under the law that would be ridiculous, we are under grace, we keep the law because we love him and we have faith in him not because we want to be saved, but we keep it because we are saved
This is exactly why there will be many lost in the second coming of Christ our lord and savior, please learn and dissect your Bible sister I want to see you in heaven as well, God bless you!
All I hear, is MAN-----Making GOD in their image=WRONG!!!!! Isaiah 55;8-9 My ways ARE NOT YOURS... Some read their BIBLE with eyes , others with their HEARTS the two will not agree. But when they do then you'll see GOD.
The money grabbing preachers,try to make to feel guilty to pay tithes ( MONEY ) and try to make you yet more guilty if you can't pay or won't pay into their ministry. Love offering,Special Offerings,Pastors Offering all are design to to recognize the ones that will as the pastor says. By the same token they recognize those who didn't pay into their special offering. But if you ask and more so publicly ask where is all this money going. You may be ask to leave the church. If nobody gave any money for 1 month to the church, And the congregations tells the pastor to believe GOD. see what happens then??
