When I stopped tithing and started giving I experenced joy for the first time in giving.
But what do you give for? Who do you give to?
NT does Not instruct us to pay pastors or build church buildings.
What Does Jesus instruct in Matthew 25:35-40?

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told my engine will blow up if I don’t tithe. Glad some preachers are telling the truth on the matter. Giving! Not tithing.
You're one in a million, Pastor James. Your congregation is so blessed to have you as their Pastor.
Well, I am 2 in a million, because I teach the same. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
By nature, I enjoy being generous, and giving, as I think most Christians are, but I really struggled going through disability and debt with the pressure to tithing (10%) and giving offerings, especially from people, (the clergy, and misinformed lay Christians), who suggested that it is mandatory, to the point of increasing credit card debt. It just added to my own sense of guilt and condemnation, which laid seed for the enemy to come in an torment my mind, which increased my time on disability. I am really glad to hear this sermon. My peace has been restored.
Amen sister! Hope everything is still going well
I am a Christian and I have bad health problems that stopped me from working and driving I studied this and took it to my pastor and he told me to for get about that verse and do what he wanted me to I lost all respect for him and went deep in to reading my word and fasting with prayer. Thank you for this message God Bless you pastor.
The only church that doesn't demand tithing are Jehovah witnesses
These pastors are hirelings
We do not teach tithing is for the NT church. That’s what we say! We do not pass an offering plate proving we believe what we say.
Therefore your statement ”the only church” that doesn’t demand tithing is incorrect. CJ
This was an excellent message.
I've heard about "tithing" for years and years.
Just recently I finally "got it!". Tithing is "old testament."
3 things about giving
1. God loves a "cheerful"
giver
2. If you sow sparingly you reap
sparingly.
3. Give and it shall be given unto you ; good measure pressed down shaken together and running over shall men give back into your bosom.
3 things if you do in secret God will reward you openly:
1.Praying
2. Fasting
3. Giving
Thank you for this sermon. I pray more preachers would FREE their congregation into giving freely and cheerfully. No more condemnation of the tithe 10% money lie.

@@JMI5784 have you even listened to this teaching?
@@JMI5784 the Hebrews scripture concerns firstfruits, not the tithe which was not yet instituted.
@@tonyadieker5314 Amen and AMEN!
@@JMI5784 Abraham did not have a regular practice of tithing.
This was a one-time act. And it wasn't a tithe of his agricultural increase. It was a tithe of the spoils of war.
"Here, men that die receive tithes" refers to the Levitical priesthood, which was still in service when Hebrews was being written.
v. 9 proves it.
Hebrews 7 does not instruct Christians to tithe.
When i search it out, for myself, then i started giving cheerfully with a smile on my face 😊
Glory to God Almighty 🙏 this tithing thing has killed many servants of God. Thank you Lord for stopping and rescuing me💕
The truth about tithing is not mentioned in the New Testament Jesus is our HighPriest and a BornAgain believer becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit,But believers should give as he purpose in his heart for the love of Christ.
Jesus also instructs us to love our neighbor as ourselves.
What does Matthew 25:35-40 say?
Your neighbor in the third world is hungry.
NT does Not instruct paying pastors or building church buildings.
But He instructs you to love your neighbor as yourself.
1 Peter 2:5 ( The Saints are The Spiritual House under The NT)
Greedy Christians make excuses. They are too greedy to give at least what people under the law gave.
@@Jeremiah17seven , And they wanna tell me I'm evil for wanting To Be A Tentmaker
Uuuum I just want to point out Matt. 23:23…..
Jesus said that they should not only tithe, but that they should do the other things of the law as well….. using KJV.
Great teaching. It is very shameful seeing so called christians believing that they're cursed as wrongly taught by many pastors .....but blessed under Jesus through His perfect sacrifice and Grace. God is not the God of confusion.
Praise God for someone out there teaching the TRUTH about money. It’s like a breath of fresh air.
Amen! Thank for speaking truth to power. I went to a church and they had an ATM machine on the premises. I left. Excellent teaching Pastor.
That’s sick!
I would have left too
Whaaaaat
He paid tithes from spoils of war, not from his own coffers.
Bless you brother James. Honestly, every preacher who teaches 'tithing' today needs to hear this sermon and be rightly corrected by sound doctrine, amen?
My pastor said he believes in tithes but we dont. We give to the church. Pastor even says you will go to hell for not tithing. What?! 😮Tithes in bible was never about money anyways. It was food grown. Non food growers didnt tithe. Tithes was food grown in bible. Churches are the one who invented it and says its your paycheck. Its a fundraiser basically.
I have no problem giving. I have a problem giving to a preacher that takes fancy vacations, has a fine house and vehicles while the people in his "church" do without. Also if there is absolutely no outreach to the poor in their own community and always, ALWAYS beat and bash people to give to their building fund when the new building never quite gets built. We are the temple of the Holy Ghost, WE are the church so maybe we should act like the church.
Sounds like hillsong
Well said!
I know this is an old sermon but hallelujah! My goodness what a great word from the Lord! Jesus has been so so good to me. The Lord our God has blessed me so much more than I will ever deserve.
We live by faith not by how much we give.
But if you live by faith, you give generously like the NT instructs.
Generously does not necessarily mean money.
Jesus said -- love your neighbor as yourself.
Your neighbor in the third world is starving.

I tithed 40 years and Never gave. And in 2017 I couldn't find one scripture where Paul teaches the churches about tithing nor Peter or anyone else because if Paul received tithed why did he say he was poor hungry and in need but I do see where he shared about offerings.
I'm a pensioner and I give to the church if I have.Pastor you speak the truth
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Finally!!!! I attend a Church that teaches this and when you question them about it, they’ll give you the look of, “oh, I didn’t know you’re a heathen?” Smh. Thank you for this message!
😂
God will always have a true witness.
How many times over the decades, did I not hear preachers insisting that Christians should tithe based on Malachi 3!!! I soon realised that the Church was already instructed by Paul to follow 2 Cor 9 - this is how we should give!
My cousin was a single mother of 2 girls. Her girls father never give her any child support . By the time she paid all of her bills, there was little money left. Since she couldn't afford much entertainment On Fridays she would rent movies to watch at home with her girls. The pastor at her church told that she needed to stopped renting movies and use the money that she was using to rent movies to title to the church. She walked of that church and never returned.
This is exactly what this guy is teaching. Let's sit down with her and figure out why she can't give. Honestly, it's horrible. While he all the time says we treat rich and poor the same, and nobody will know and u give what u want and can, he also says that we will miss out if we don't give much.
I believe in churches helping. I used to go to a church myself. Until it was enough bs going on. I was told to give. And I had no means of giving. It was hard enough to pay the annual membership fee for the family at one point. Not that I had to pay to attend. But it felt right to at least pay what it cost to be members (was like 50 bucks a year for the whole family) since it was my church etc. Then comes the bugging about giving more. "Everyone can afford to" "give more and get more back" "nobody here have so little money that they can't give at least something".
The guy doing the church's book knew we didn't have much, and told us to not listen to them. Give only if you feel you can. So many have been giving and giving and getting nothing back but a thank you for your contribution. That church should offer her to KEEP her money. Then they should buy her a gift card for rending movies just as a show of good faith, and then sit down and not figure out how she could give, but how the church can practically and financially help HER!
Oh my I feel so mad when I hear stories like this. And I get so disappointed in churches like that. This one included (the pastor in the video above here). It's not about how can we serve each other. Oh no.... It's about how good can we look when we send so and so many missionaries. I get it -missionary work is cool and needed, but there are people right around our corners that need help for basic stuff. And yet, the churches either demand their money, or they'll tell you like this one - packing it up so it looks nicer - that you better give much, or you're gonna reap less than you could've. It's not different from anyone else that takes your money in church like that - he just says it in a way to make it look nicer. And in the process talking about context and using bible correctly, yet he has no idea what many of the bible verses he is using actually means.
Churches will turn into country clubs in the blink of an eye. And one should have nothing to do with those churches.
That's messed up

I been saying this for years. He's on point with this teaching.
The truth is coming out we have to keep pushing. im writing a doc on this and will share it with pastors so that they may study themselves.
Some things said were wrong. For instance, one did not give money instead of tithe. One tithed, then had the opportunity to buy back a portion of the tithe for the assessed value of the tithe plus twenty percent of the assessed value.
@@standingfirminChrist ,
read Deuteronomy 14, from verse 24 on again, please !
@@juerbert1,
I have read it many times...and preached it. Verse 24 says the tithe can be exchanged for money. (sold) Verse 25 says to take the money to the place that God choosses. (we later find out that that place is Jerusalem; 2 Chronicles 6:5-6) Verse 26 says to use the money to purchase food and drink to eat with your household.
Sorry, but Deuteronomy 14 says nothing of a monetary tithe requirement. Try again.
You preached the truth here! God bless...
We are God's house, not the building.
1 Peter 2:5
Thanks for digging up so biblically this tithing subject. Amen
Thank you for listening! CJ
I'm glad someone is preaching the truth. I went to non denominational charismatic church, that believed in thr prosperity gospel. They said you don't have to give, while at the same time telling us you have to tithe in order to honor God with your money. I don't tithe and i never will, the pastor knew this and he told my fiance i wouldn't marry a woman who didn't tithe, how twisted is that. If a pastor tells you this, leave that church immediately!!
I send him a video about bill wiese and his testimony 23 minutes in hell. I pray it wakes him up.
For a couple of months, I halted giving tithe, and I felt concerned for my family. Managing my financial situation became challenging. Upon returning to the Lord and seeking forgiveness, my financial worries dissipated.
So you started back tithing?
@@tanitrarobinson7477 Im curious as well. The problem I find here is that people who do tithe say they experience blessings that are a direct result of tithing..So if it works then why is there such an issue?
Yeah.... funny how that- assuming u mean 10% of your money - works different for others. Why did you stop? And consider the fact that you probably had some anxiety around the whole situation and that made it difficult for you and you worried more than you had to fearing God in a way he never intended you to fear him, and that's not God's doing.
I agree with mostly everything you've said up until your last statement. Christians should give as God has prospered us and as each one of us has purposed in our hearts, but we should never compare ourselves or try to live up to any percentage that the Jews were commanded to give. Just let the truth of scripture and sound doctrine through what the Holy Spirit has said unto the churches be it. Don't add your opinions to it, for then it could lead the churches astray. We are not called to air, preach or teach our own opinions but to faithfully deliver the message of the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's as obedient ambassadors of His Kingdom. (2 Corinthians 4:1-7, [v 5] 👑
Thanks very much for watching. However we do not believe it was his opinion. His own words were based upon the Holy Scriptures. Not quoted verbatim but the following verses support his statement. 1 Cor 2:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God liveth a cheerful giver. 1 Cor 16:2 upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when i come. Also Bro James is trying to teach that the NT Christian is not bound by a law that was given to the Jews. Which is the primary teaching in our circles. He also mentioned that he thinks that one should do better than 10% if that is possible. He believes we should give all we can give to further the preaching of the Gospel. He often tells us that one that gives more for a cell phone, cable, automobile payment than we do the Lord it will bring shame when we stand before the Lord. When we have given more to temporal things than we did to the one that saved our souls. But it is totally up to each individual. Giving is a matter of the heart and as the scripture states God loves a cheerful giver. Again we thank you for watching and hope you will continue and remember that he was teaching one lesson and could likely preach several sermons on this one subject so all points were not covered but this was taught during a normal church service so is somewhat constrained by time expecations.

1 Corinthians 2:7
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:”
I think you got the verse wrong
1 Cor 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
What is THE COLLECTION OF THE SAINTS? if the Bible doesn't instruct on COLLECTING?
Our blessing is really Jesus shedding his blood for us so we would be saved. We don't have to pay for it. We give as we can we are not under obligation to , but we do out of love to help others.
I agree some of it was his own opinons.
I am very, very thankful for this teaching. 🙏 As a believer I freely give not looking for any return but trusting God that the money is being used for it's intended purpose.
Mostly it's not because of greedy pastors wanting luxuries on the strength of us that give
The percentage doesn't matter, it's how much you want to give even if it's a penny. (:
I'm Blessed Prosperous in all THINGS not because I'm good but because THE LORD IS GOOD and FAITHFUL... HIS MERCY GRACE and LOVE is the reason I'm Blessed because OF CHRIST and HIS FINISHED WORK for RIGHTEOUSNESS FORGIVENESS REDEMPTION and SALVATION... SEALED with HOLY SPIRIT ❤🙌🏽🕊👑🔥

Wonderful message. An issue that is as radioactive in the Body of Christ as is the third rail of politics! Well done, sir! 👍
This teaching is so true. It’s about giving and being a giver not so caked tithing the crazy this is that even orthodox or even non-orthodox Jews do not tithes but still the church still talks about it
This is the most rounded and greatest teaching on this (tithing) subject. If everyone would just get this. Thank you brother. ❤️🙏🏻 Shalom!
Fantastic and thorough explanation.... as usual! Praise be to God!
the most intelligent sermon I have heard in a long time
Tithing never was money. Why has it changed into money today? The levites were never allowed to own houses or land. Why do pastors have possessions and still want tithes like a levite priest?
you helped me so much over the years praying for you for years
Amen. I was already retired from work in 2017. Since I have pension I still give my 10% tithe plus additional 10% for faith promise offering. The pastor and his assistants of our church teached us to give 10% tithe out of gross salary regardless of family expenses plus faith promise offering for missions and host of offerings like pastor and his wife's bdays, wedding anniv, etc. The most burdensome is the one-month salary as first fruit offering every December. But late 2023, I stopped giving my tithes and offerings because I realized that giving my tithes and that of my son is not making sense because despite of our efforts to help the church the pastor kept on scolding the members everytime he preached. As the tithes and offerings increased, he became more abusive in treating his members.
By their fruits you shall recognize them, happy to know the Lord opened your eyes to the truth of His heart and word 🙌
He was talking about the priest that were not handling the products correctly so the temple wasn’t being cared for. The people were tithing.
He is telling the truth, AMEN
This collection was not a weekly collection for the church. It was for those in Jerusalem who needed help. He stopped at verse 1, continue reading through to verse 3!
I don't tithe anymore I give according to how YHWH blesses me
One must give from the heart and give with a gladness of heart. Whether you realize it or not, you are blessed every day you wake up in the morning. God blesses your life with many things that you probably are unaware of, but he still does. If you were to try and count all your blessings, you would soon find that they are all interconnected and way too numerous to count! God loves you. 😊
Thank you for showing me the truth. The beginning of wisdom is seek wisdom.
Paul is talking about giving in these passages because they already said they wanted to give to the church that was poor because they were having their property taken because they were Christians. He was urging them to do what they already committed to do.
Produce of the land, money grows on trees don't you know lol
Great word brother I have taught this for over fifteen years now.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
If only this sermon had millions of views, especially in the IFB movement. Let's us pray for this truth to get out!
I have read in the Bible where the disciples dispersed among themselves what they had and gave to the poor until everyone had what they needed.
Good humble Pastor
You know, the only reason why the Israelites had to tithe was because a tenth of the land was God's because of Jacob's vow. Well, God told Jacob that He was giving the land to him. So, Jacob vowed a tenth of that land to God. This is why the tithe was mandatory for the Jews to give. A tenth belonged to God because Jacob gave it to Him. How have we missed this for so many centuries? This is not what we're taught about Jacob's tithe.
Jacob said that he would give of all that God gave him. But, we just learned in a few verses before that God was giving him land. Read it all in Genesis 28. Jacob was talking about of all the LAND God was going to give him, he would give the tenth. We missed it completely.
Jacob's tithe was fulfilled through his descendants. God took Jacob's vow seriously.
Now, teach THAT pastors!
So no, we DO NOT tithe!!! It was NEVER meant for New Covenant Believers!!!
Give your money, but don't set a specific percentage unless God directs you to personally. Be free.
A very good point. It's interesting that under Mosaic Law only items of the land, from the increase of THE LAND were acceptable as the tithe.
We are free to give, not bound to pay.
There's a pastor that tells his congregation not to give if they are not born again. He says don't give if you are behind on debt. He says pay your debts first. He says feed family first and take care of their needs. He does not take up an offering in front of everyone. (Jesus said to give privately, not to be seen.) He says only give if your heart desires to. And, this guy built 50 churches with cash and no loans or debts! All the pastors have jobs and do not get paid for being a pastor. I am pretty sure that people give to them privately though!
Zac Poonen?
Where is tithing taught in the New Testament?
There is no scripture whatsoever in the New Testament asking Christians to tithe. When Jesus once referred to the practice, he was talking about Pharisees who were still under the Law of Moses and not about New Testament believers.
Roger, did you listen to the message? That is what the Pastor teaches and has taught for 30+ years. CJ
I am agreeing with the pastor that tithing is a lie
Really appreciate the sermon. Truly, you are a man of God.
Thank you. Finally. Someone who teaches me Truth About the Biblical. TITHE .. A. New Testament church. Is not a. Descent of. Israel .
I suggest y’all read the scriptures he’s quoting yourself. It’s my understanding the tithe is spent annually as a celebration of the feast of tabernacles. The third year tithe was given to the poor during the feast. The priest was taken care of out of the tithe. I could go on and on but just look into it. Offerings are supposed to be for church upkeep
The MORMON CHURCH have to pay Tithing 10% of their gross pay. It’s their law ! They have to pay before paying their rent, and food. They get reminded a lot of times. They use the Old Testament in Mal 3 that they have to pay, with out any excuse ! Thanks for sharing. I will share this , I no longer belong to Mormonism. Thank God !!
You forgot to mention that the poor were not required to give. When the livestock passed by, the tenth one was given. If there was not a tenth one to pass by, there was none to give.
IT'S STRANGE HOW WE HOLD ON TO THE BIBLE WHEN IT INVOLVES TITHES, BUT NEGLECT THAT SAME BIBLE WHEN IT MENTIONS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Who teaches tithing ? This church does not! CJ
Focus on JESUS
HE is the way the truth and the life John 14 :6
The tithe was never earned income. We were never under law of tithing. Over the years the tithe has changed it's meaning. Since we are not under that covenant anyway you give any amount.
💯
Even in the agricultural tithe the 10 percent tithe was on the INCREASE ,in effect the harvest .you still had to leave some out for seed so the increase is after you have met your requirements needed to grow next year's crops
This is absolutely true.. I've seen it first hand. I used to do missionary in third world nations.
At the church services, we didn't mention a tithe (we want souls saved). Yet, each week, I've seen people walking down dirt roads, into an area where we were having a church service, bringing their cattle and produce. The people in these nations were hungry. Money means nothing in their eyes. In order to preach, we funded ourselves.
An honest and accurate (in my opinion) exegesis. Thank you. We are free to give, not bound to pay.
I might add that the focus of Malachi is on the Levitical Priests starting in 1:6 and it's likely that Levites were the only ones allowed into the storehouse.
Amen
This preacher even at the end like many put guilt trips by naming what people spend their money on. Who cares let the people give cheerfully and by faith, not by shaming. If people give by shame guilt midas well keep the money. Pastors on pulpit getting paid and paying for commercial real estate should not be given money it is unbiblical
Here's the thing. The Old Testament says a lot of things that do not apply today; like stoning for instance. If we should tithe than stoning should still be OK as well; also, it talks about restitution for theft and not sticking People in jail for it, but we do that today do we not? It seems to me that the only ones that pushed tithing the most are the preachers that live in luxury.
Did you listen to the message? He doesn’t preach tithing for the NT believers. We do not pass an offering plate at BBC. Not sure if you are referring to our Pastor as one that lives in luxury. I have been in his home it’s not living in luxury! CJ
But people say the church is a spiritual Israel?? I so long to know the truth, I have studied this for 5 years now.....I just can't see that the ten percent tithe is for God's children. The other part is...when we Give...we give in many ways, not just money. Many people put ten percent on the plate, they have now given and that is it. They don't help anyone, pray for anyone, and character is lacking. But as the church keeps records at my church of what everyone gives, that person has the check mark no matter what else they do.
amen!
Preach it brother...your right
I was searching for Robert Morris sermons...and this video popped up...

Giving your time and efforts! Corinthians teaches to collect for the needy saints!!
Exactly. And who are the needy saints in in 1st Cor 16? It was poor people among the christians in Jerusalem. It's very particular about this. If this teaches us something about giving, it teaches us to take care of the needy among us. And this preacher uses this verse to say that service is about giving and that there should be no collection (of money to him) when the preacher is there, but to have it ready when he gets there.
This is really bad. Because churches like this couldn't care less about real situations that real people are in. They seem to live in a bubble where nobody around them is actually poor and needy. There is no excuse for this kinda abuse of the scripture.
Church should be more about how can we practically and financially help the needy people around us than how can we get enough money for our fancy buildings and our 15 couples of missionaries in central Africa. IMHO.
Jesus told us if try and come up any other way the same is thief and robber. It is the first time anyone has made sense in in saying we give because we are blessed, not to get blessed. 🙄
Scriptures in the old testament ( Deuteronomy chapter 14 verses 23-29)
*"eat the tithe"* and if the place to bring the tithe was too long a journey, they could exchange it for money/silver then travel to the designated place, and when there they could use the money they exchanged it for to get the edible items and bring those items to be eaten by the levies, the foreigners the widows and the orphans.
Malachi talks about those people being defrauded of what they should've gotten.
Thank you for your Teaching, and breaking the word down for me eat it right.
If you cant trust God with 10% of your income how can you trust him with your very life & eternity? I think tithing is a matter of faith. Do you trust God enough with your finances that he will still provide for you?
Ahh, Malachi was taken out of context. That scripture had nothing to do with people not giving their tithes and offerings. It was about the priests hoarding them and storing them in another place, outside of the storehouse for the poor where they were supposed to go. Israel was giving their tithes, the priests were diverting them. The tithe to the poor in the storehouse was given by the farmers and shepherds every three years. People in Israel that did not have land where they received grains, fruits, or animals from did not tithe. This is why the disciples and apostles of Yeshua who were fishermen did not tithe (however the men did pay a temple tax, but not the children). All together there were 4 different tithes. The tithe for the Levites did not go to the storehouse, that was kept separate for the Levites. Of the 4 tithes, only the every 3-year tithe for the poor went to the storehouse.
Also, tithing was before governments took over care for the needy and required everyone to pay taxes to pay for those needs. All together the tithe was about 26% with the different tites added together, which is about the same tax rate that most people pay.
giving keeps THE TRUE EKKLESIA prosperous in all things... for lack and poverty are a curse... give to each other's need as HOLY SPIRIT leads ...
This is MATT.25:35-40 when We give unto the needy we’ve given unto THE LORD … because We’re led by HOLY SPIRIT and not a bunch of requirements ROM.8:14-17 ROM.7:6
Great Study
This sermon teaches a ton of truth, and you seldom hear this . But when you said the preachers that preach the tithe do so ignorant or that's just their tradition, with some I'm sure you're right but I believe there is a large percentage that do it because they have a love of money. Just look at all the millionaire pastors we have and all the huge multimillion dollar buildings we have serving as churches and fellowship halls. I showed my wife the tithe in duetorominy 14, I believe, and asked her why we never heard a preaching on this tithe, I was threatened with divorce, the hold of a this for that is strong. Which is why I hate false teachers.
This is some good teaching
Please It did not Only go to the Levites But also to the Widows to the Orphans, and It was Directly, not through the temple. people gave to Levits directly to the orphans directly and to the widows directly.
Min. Kevin Ewing taught on this and Sister Sharon(never give up never give in ministry) I watched and read the scripture and to my understanding it was for those of the levitical priesthood
This is good teaching.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
To explain better what he is saying he trying to say what it is , and what it is not. He is not preaching to tithe , but not to tithe. We are not to tithe because there is no longer a levitical priesthood.
Well said pastor God bless you thank you🙏
I'm I to understand that you're preaching that we're not under obligation to tithe but then you ask what do people do with their money that they can't tithe? You seem to be preaching tithing the same way others preach. If I'm out of work and behind on my bills, will the church donate to my needs?
Depends some church's do in our community some offer assistance
If they were operating by the model in the book of acts then yes they would
Call what it is, what it is. If you dunk someone in water, would you say they were *_"anointed with oil"_* ? If you poured oil on someone's head, would you say they've been *_"baptized"_* ?
If you want to "tithe" then eat it. Deuteronomy 14:23-29
If you want to give money, then give it.
Will the church donate to your needs? Yes. They should. He says NOTHING tho that leads me to believe he ever think that's what you're supposed to do. All he talks about is preachers and missionaries having their salary. It is an assumption about him that is strenghtened about the fact that he seem to think that nobody he knows about will have any problems finding money for the things they want.
If you're out of work and behind on your bills, I'd not sit you down to see why you can't give (that's how prosperity preachers talk btw!). I'd sit you down and tell you man I feel your pain, I know you're in a tough spot right now, and I'd like to see how we can help you practically with getting you a job that you can manage to do and make an income and in the meantime, we'll figure out a way to help you with your bills.
Did Jesus told his apostle not to work and live on tithing? Why never the tithes money go to poor instead of fattening the pastors who preach false teaching? Why they change they pick and choose what to impose as truth and what not to believe? They are also very smart and against any other teaching that you receive from others so their lies don't be exposed. They destroyed the face of christianity that Jesus and Paul were preaching. Lord ordered his deciples not to take food or water or even a stick and these people don't work to live off by people's tithes.
You're absolutely right. This why so many have fell away and started following false doctrine. While we continue to give money to the church, there are still people who can't pay their rent, mortgage or utilities and we can't be certain that the church will apply any of the tithing money to those in financial despair. Sure, they talk about feeding the hungry and homeless but what about the people who are trying to keep from being homeless.
Some gold nuggets mixed with the same old tropes.
