The New Convenant speaks of being a cheerful giver not a cheerful tither. We can never outgive God: we dont give to be blessed, but we give because we are blessed. Like Ephesians 2 it says we are saved to do good works. Corinthians we should not give under compulsian but what we have purposed in our hearts. The real picture of the church is found in the book of Acts, they gave to those in need, not to enrich the preacher. I love to be generous in Gods kingdom. Pastor Vlad you are precious
Vlad, we listen to you from The Uk with husband. Thank you for this preaching about tithing. It’s like 100% to me. I’ve donated how much I could. And I see that you are really a Gods messenger. God bless you, your family and your ministry! Amen! 🙏 ❤
Vlad, thank you as always so much for this wonderful sermon. I came LOOKING for a tithing video that would make me feel convicted in a good, healthy, & motivating way. ✅ This did it🎉 Really thank you so much!!! 😊 Now I feel motivated in my heart to give, instead of how I felt before, which was that I felt like I had to.🥰💸
In a world dominated by money it says a lot to tithe. I understand the spirit that comes upon those who are offended by the subject, but while God Loves us all, Tithing is one way to separate ourselves from the world, and even separate ourselves from believers who don’t obey the Law. I pray that God abundantly rewards those who been faithful to the Law.
Law is fulfilled by Jesus on the cross so we don't need to follow any other law. If tithing was so important Jesus would have said at least once to tithe and none of his disciples even practiced in the new testament. If you want to live under the law then try to fulfill the rest of the law as well like circumcision etc
Christians don't have to pay tithe but to give freely. Helping the ministry and also mankind with what we have. Tithe is not a mandatory for Christians.
Well said Pastor! Heavy presentation..but it's according to God's all encompassing truths! May God have mercy on the pastors who do not preach the truth on money. I think they withhold the truths on money bc they fear the world rather than God. For those who want to judge my comment...I am speaking from a place that I am struggling to tithe bc of financial difficulties that I wrought upon myself...making a budget that didn't include my tithe. That's my issue..I am praying God help me to fix this! GODS WORD IS TRUE I DO BELIEVE IN TITHING AND BEING GENEROUS..but I am struggling. Thus I don't withhold bc I don't believe rather I got myself in a rut that is making tithing a battle financially. But here is where the trusting in God to provide for me and my house counts!! Those who understand this PLEASE PRAY FOR ME♡ THANK YOU!!!
We want to prosper that’s why many fall for Malachi 3:7-12 without studying the scripture. This was addressed to the eleven tribes of Israel the Levites being exempted because they are temple workers(the high priest, priests and the rest) The Levites were given the responsibility of collecting the tithe and part of it was their inheritance. When Jesus Christ became our High Priest that office of the Levites was abolished. The Levites ran out of business because the one perfect sacrifice has been offered. Besides Jesus ordered the temple to be demolished. That was the end of tithe for the Levites. So after the cross there was no more tithe and to support Jesus ministry the scriptures say go to 2 Corinthians 9:6- . Now every believer is a priest- 1 Peter 2:9 and Revelation 1:5-6. Tradition is what many preachers are following e.g. Christmas, Easter, etc Jesus never asked us to do them.
Here are a few key points that everyone needs to understand, on the topic of tithing: (1) Levites receive tithes, and no one else. God Himself mandated this (see Numbers 18:21-22). (2) The tithe of Abraham to Melchizeded was a tithe of tradition, not religion, becasue there were no religious or legal requirement to tithe, as he did. (3) The tithe promised by Jacob was similarly one of tradition, not a religious observance (4) No gentile has ever been required to tithe in the Old testament. Only Jews. And only to Levites, because of Numbers 18:21-22. (5) No gentile has ever been asked to tithe in the New Testament, and certainly, not the church (6) Every mention to tithe in the New Testament was directed to Jews, as was required by the law of Moses, never to Gentiles (7) Gentile believers were never required to live by the law of Moses in the New Testament; this law is what mandated tithing. Concerning giving, or tithing, or prosperity, Malachi 3:8-12 is not the full counsel of God. It is an excerpt, quoted to the church for centuries (believe it or not), which is a misrepresentation of God's counsel. We've accepted it because that's what we have always been taught.

@@chrislara1943 That is true. Here is what Numbers 18:21 says, *"To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel* for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting." So, indeed, the Levites were appointed by God to receive the tithes. No one else. There is no place in the entire bible *-- Old or New Testament --* where anyone other than a Levite was ever appointed to receive tithes. Read that sentence again, it is important. No pastor has ever been scripturally appointed or authorized to collect tithes. You cannot be "cursed with a curse" (Malachi 3:9) for not tithing because (1) unless you are a Jew, you were never appointed to tithe, (2) even if you are a Jew, tithing was meant to support Levites as they served in the Jewish tabernacle under the Law of Moses, and (3) the Law of Moses is no longer in effect because the New Testament law of Grace in Christ has replaced it. You are free in Christ. Give to the best that you are able. Five percent, ten percent, fifty percent, whatever you are able. It is between you and God. You cannot be cursed or judged for not giving to a standard that God has not set for the New Testament church. The only thing to remember is Luke 6:38, "Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full-pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. *The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."* The New Testament standard of giving is, *to the best that you can.* That might only be one percent, or it might be ninety percent. What you are able to give is a matter between you and God alone. Not between you and the pastor.
@@waynemcghie6500I like your explanation. This is so transparent. Can I get more scriptures about the law of Grace replaces the law of Moses please? I’d like to share it with my Christian friends to set them free. Many Christian are so tied up with this obsolete rule of tithing. Thank you ❤✝️.
@@MissGraceGlory it is my great honor to share with you the truths that the Holy Spirit has revealed to me. I will get to the point because there is much on this topic, and it is easy to get carried away with the information. To begin, what instructions did the apostles give to the church concerning tithing? That is a short answer: There are no scriptures that require the New Testament (NT) church to tithe. People tithed in the Old Testament (OT) under the law of Moses. But we are now under grace, and the OT has been put to rest. (Read Hebrews 9 for more on this.) So then, what do we have? I will take you to the church, during the days of the apostles, so you can see for yourself. Let’s look through the eyes of scriptures and see what Paul’s instructions for the church were. Starting with 2 Corinthians 9:1-2, Paul said, “I really don’t need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem. For I know how eager you are to help, and I have been boasting to the churches in Macedonia that you in Greece were ready to send *an offering* a year ago.” When the church got together, they gave offerings, to the extent that they could afford: 3%, 5%, 10%, 50% … whatever they could afford. Never a tithe, because that was OT. We are no longer under the OT. For example, in chapter 9, verses 6-8, Paul says, “Remember this-a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. *You must each decide in your heart how much to give.* And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” Notice that the standard of giving was not 10% (a tithe). The scripture said, *you decide* how much to give. The point is, your giving is between you and God. The motivation to give generously is spoken out in verse 8, “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” We see the same thing in 1 Corinthians 16, verses 1-3. Paul says, “Now regarding your question about the money being collected for God’s people in Jerusalem. You should follow *the same procedure I gave to the churches in Galatia.* On the first day of each week, you should each put aside *a portion* of the money you have earned. Don’t wait until I get there and then try to collect it all at once.” Again, in all this giving, noting was said about tithing, because tithing was never required of the NT church. So, how much is “a portion”? We saw that the scriptures say, “You must each decide in your heart how much to give.” *You decide!* I want to also point out that the church, under the apostles, was not run the way it is run today. The money they collected was “for God’s people,” wherever the need was. That is what we see in Acts 6:1, when they were ministering to widows. Speaking of Acts, recall the story of Ananias and Sapphira, in Acts 5? (Read the whole chapter if you are not familiar with that story.). Peter said to them in chapter 5, verse 4, “The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, *the money was also yours* to give away.” Did you hear that? Here, too, we see that Peter never called upon any 10% standard. No requirement to tithe was communicated. The sin they committed was in the fact that they lied. Not in how much they chose to give. I could go on and on. We have been blinded by false doctrine on tithing. In short, we are called to give. Generously. To the fullest that we are able. But God has never commanded the NT church to tithe. If you want to dig deeper and gain more knowledge on this topic, why not get a copy of my book, “Tither You Are Free”? it’s available on Amazon. Space and time does not allow me to say more. Be blessed!
Tithing wasn't "giving" in the bible since it was compulsory. Biblical tithes were not received as money, and the ceremonial and civil ordinances that facilitated tithing under the Old covenant are obsolete. We are free to give and we are able and convicted but not bound to pay money to a religious institution (or anywhere else).
Tithing was returning, not giving. You're correct. Jesus said don’t leave tithing undone. Jesus upholds the tithe in Matthew 23:23 (cf. Luke 11:42). He condemns the Pharisees for their tedious commitment to one part of God’s law, the tithe, while neglecting “the weightier matters of justice, mercy, and faithfulness.” Then he states, “These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.” The Greek word translated “ought” (dei) in the ESV is strong and indicates a necessity. We could translate as follows: “You must do these things, and you must not neglect those things.” For us tithing is not about the law, but an old ritual practiced before the law of putting God first. God asked for the first born to be dedicated to Him. God has asked for the first fruits to be given to Him. Jericho, the first city in the Promised Land, to be given to Him. In Matthew 6:33, seek first the Kingdom of God. God wants to be first in our finances, and the way we put Him first is by giving it to Him. I believe that God can do more with 90% than we can do with 100%. But everyone needs to be generous and give as they purpose in their heart.
@@vladhungrygen I believe in giving as well and I agree with some of the things you've written... but answer me this; Eph 2:20 "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;" ... And according to scholars Paul's ministry was above 25 years + and had never mentioned tithe not even by mistake then how did you come up with it especially MONEY TITHE? and everything you quote from the OT without finding a fulfillment in Christ on the Cross then you're enslaving people of God... and oh what about the saints who never PAID 10% of their salary, did they not honor God by freewill giving? I believe in giving but you people love to twist scriptures to make them mean what you want them to mean.... many people left churches and they don't give because of these types of teachings which are in ERROR... 2 Peter 1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation" With this in mind, we should see a lot of tithes and offerings in the NT which is not there...all I'm seeing you quoting is Solomon and Malachi whom Christ Jesus came to FULFILL !! and these men are not even part of the Ecclessia
@@vladhungrygen I like to know if the early church or the apostles received or paid tithes?. Why didn’t apostle Paul talk about tithing when he mentioned cheerful giving?.
@@vladhungrygenThanks for your feedback. Sorry, I just noticed it. In response... I didn't say "tithing was returning". I said anything compulsory cannot be considered a gift. Biblical, systematic tithes were compulsory submissions of consumable items facilitated through ceremonial ordinances under Mosaic Law. That's not a "gift". That's a tax. And ceremonial ordinances under Mosiac Law that supported the Old Covenant system of atonement are now obsolete. They also didn't extend beyond Israel. In Mathew 23:23 Jesus is chastising the Pharisees while acknowledging they were carrying out the ceremonial act of tithing. Notice the reference to "mint, dill, and cumin", not money. Again, that ordinance is now obsolete. The "first fruits" weren't tithes and tithing was not ever referred to as a "principle" in the bible. The first fruits were heave offerings small enough to fit in a small basket, taken to the temple where they were consumed. Again, it consisted of consumable items, not money. At no point did God or Jesus ever ask anyone for their money. Not the first, or the last of it. Tithing as it is practiced today has no biblical precedent. There's nothing wrong with practicing it if one chooses to, there's just no biblical mandate for anyone to pay 10% of the earnings to a religious institution. Not New Testament, or Old. God isn't a mob boss or a slot machine. We're free to give, not bound to pay.
@@markb7067 Absolutely correct as you said " Free to give but not bound to pay" Had no problem as a christians giving but the problems are the pastors who obliged their members to thite especially their everlasting sermons of thiting and cursing. One day they will face judgement.
Pastors don't believe in generosity for themselves but for their congregation They own homes,cars and even planes While some of their congregation does not own a home or unable to pay their bills. They use people tithes on themselves but not on God's and those in need and abject poverty.
@@dimitromoses yes. I agree. I give to my church but I give most to the poor. My church is mega and super rich. But, the poor is without food and shelter and medication. They need my help more.
If The Most High already stated that he doesn't dwell in brick, and mortar buildings, nor things built with hands, then where are the people's 💰 money going if not to the widows, poor, fatherless, and orphans? Read Malachi 1, and 2 people, and stop allowing preachers to count your pockets under the disguise of religion. Tithes never was, nor ever will be in the form of 💰 money.
Honor God with all your increase. Period! We can't afford not to. May you see the many ways that God provides when you trust Him. That's my prayer for you.😊
Hypocrites! Tithing is a part of the Old Testament Law given through Moses in Judaism (Deuteronomy 14:22-29; Malachi 3:8-10; Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42; Luke 18:12). But Christians, in New Testament Christianity give Alms in secret to the poor (Matthew 6:1-4; Luke 11:41; Acts 10:1-4; Acts 24:17), the truth many will not talk or teach about in Jesus' name. Amen.
true the pastor want your check stubs then beat u up and twist the Holy word all for the love of money i dont listen to any pastor who will not share the truth on giveing its free will period your free to give what you want period
I love this guy a lot he’s VERY anointed but this is where I draw the line …..Tithing is not mandatory - context context context ….that’s was only for a certain group in the Old Testament and for a specific purpose , it wasn’t even for the regular people to tithe , it was meant for the priests and on top of that they TITHED FOOD ONLY FOOD , not once in the Bible both old and New Testament had anyone tithed with money NOT ONCE !! And the whole Malachi they use to put fear is taken out of context 100000000% …..it’s so wrong to do this . “Oh but there was no money back then and that’s why they tithed food , BIG LIE as well , there has been currency all the way back to the book of Exodus I can go on and on to prove all this …….Read your Bible y’all get familiar and you will have an awakening!!!
You are 1,000% RIGHT. Learning this a few years ago set us free from the tithing lie. It took a while to learn that, if I actually READ the Bible, I find that most of what preachers taught me was garbage. tithing is greed.
I love that line about "They didn't use money back then." I suppose the brothers of Joseph sold him to the slave traders for a side of beef. The Bible is the tithe pushers' worst enemy.
ALL pastors who take tithes off the people are breaking the 10TH commandment. ALL who pay tithes are causing their pastors to break the 10TH commandment. Tithing is old covenant. Yahshua came to fulfill the old covenant. Yahshua said:" It is finished." John 19: 30. The old covenant finished. We are commanded in the inspired scripture to feed the poor DIRECT, NOT feed the bellies of the pastors and cause them to SIN by breaking Yahweh's commandments. 1John 3: 4 . Rom 3: 20. IF you cause your pastor to break the 10TH commandment he will be lost because he broke Yahweh's 10TH commandment BUT you will be lost also because you caused your pastor to SIN by breaking Yahweh's commandments. FEARFUL Inspired scriptures.
Tithe is for the Levi priest because they receive no inheritance Numbers 18:21-24...😂.. Second Peter 2:1-3 describes the false teachers and false prophets will make merchandise of you 😂
This pastor is so greedy and money motivated he doesn't understand his teachings are wrong, this guy loves tithes and not the gospel of grace at all coz he's teaching contrary to apostle Paul and he said even if an angel come from heaven and teach another gospel let him be accursed. Tithing is not pary of the gospel of liberty
Begging for money is not GODS WILL , & this speaker is no different than a person on the side of the road with cardboard sign begging for money , open your eyes people salvation comes by believing, Grace is what God does in you & GOD IS NOT AFTER YOUR MONEY ,HES AFTER YR HEART ❤️
"Contend for the faith," not the law. All things written in the bible is FOR us , but not all things written in the bible is TO us; some things are written to Jews and NOT to the Gentiles. We live after the cross in the dispensation of the Church age or the kingdom of God. A tenth can be given as free willed offerings, as was with Abram; it was not commanded by God to Abram. A tithe (ten percent) or tithing ten percent is not initiated by Abram (Abram is not higher than God) but solely by and put into effect by LAW. Centuries later God COMMANDS the Levites to TAKE tithes from THEIR bretheren because they had no inheritance and lived by the tithe; although Levi was in the loins of Abram when Abram (GAVE A TENTH AND NOT PAID A TITHE) to Melchizedek. One had to be of the blood-linege of Aaron to take tithes. Those whom are not, are in breach of God's order for taking tithes from the assembly; thereby exposing the assembly to lack of giving cheerfully, and other related money problems as satan would have it.
The New Convenant speaks of being a cheerful giver not a cheerful tither. We can never outgive God: we dont give to be blessed, but we give because we are blessed. Like Ephesians 2 it says we are saved to do good works. Corinthians we should not give under compulsian but what we have purposed in our hearts. The real picture of the church is found in the book of Acts, they gave to those in need, not to enrich the preacher. I love to be generous in Gods kingdom. Pastor Vlad you are precious

No church should use people tithe for themselves but for improvement of the church and programs for the less fortunate.
Great

U need to get out of the law & into grace and be free in CHRIST
Actually you aren't obeying God with the tithing of money
@@jared0429to the Jewish leaders woat that time were obligated to tithe
Christians don't have to pay tithe but to give freely. Helping the ministry and also mankind with what we have.
Tithe is not a mandatory for Christians.
Preaching contrary to the good news, Christ already set us free to slavery of the law, Christians are not under obligation to the law of Moises.
🙏
the tithe is holy unto the Lord - so says the holy scriptures
No tithe after the cross (Jesus sacrifice)
The tithe was produce from the land of Israel not wages from anyone
love it #Pastor

I could go on and on. We have been blinded by false doctrine on tithing. In short, we are called to give. Generously. To the fullest that we are able. But God has never commanded the NT church to tithe. If you want to dig deeper and gain more knowledge on this topic, why not get a copy of my book, “Tither You Are Free”? it’s available on Amazon. Space and time does not allow me to say more. Be blessed!

Tithing wasn't "giving" in the bible since it was compulsory. Biblical tithes were not received as money, and the ceremonial and civil ordinances that facilitated tithing under the Old covenant are obsolete. We are free to give and we are able and convicted but not bound to pay money to a religious institution (or anywhere else).
Tithing was returning, not giving. You're correct.
Jesus said don’t leave tithing undone. Jesus upholds the tithe in Matthew 23:23 (cf. Luke 11:42).
He condemns the Pharisees for their tedious commitment to one part of God’s law, the tithe,
while neglecting “the weightier matters of justice, mercy, and faithfulness.” Then he states,
“These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.” The Greek word translated
“ought” (dei) in the ESV is strong and indicates a necessity. We could translate as follows: “You
must do these things, and you must not neglect those things.”
For us tithing is not about the law, but an old ritual practiced before the law of putting God first.
God asked for the first born to be dedicated to Him.
God has asked for the first fruits to be given to Him.
Jericho, the first city in the Promised Land, to be given to Him.
In Matthew 6:33, seek first the Kingdom of God. God wants to be first in our finances, and the way we put Him first is by giving it to Him.
I believe that God can do more with 90% than we can do with 100%.
But everyone needs to be generous and give as they purpose in their heart.
@@vladhungrygen I believe in giving as well and I agree with some of the things you've written... but answer me this; Eph 2:20 "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;" ... And according to scholars Paul's ministry was above 25 years + and had never mentioned tithe not even by mistake then how did you come up with it especially MONEY TITHE? and everything you quote from the OT without finding a fulfillment in Christ on the Cross then you're enslaving people of God... and oh what about the saints who never PAID 10% of their salary, did they not honor God by freewill giving? I believe in giving but you people love to twist scriptures to make them mean what you want them to mean.... many people left churches and they don't give because of these types of teachings which are in ERROR... 2 Peter 1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation"
With this in mind, we should see a lot of tithes and offerings in the NT which is not there...all I'm seeing you quoting is Solomon and Malachi whom Christ Jesus came to FULFILL !! and these men are not even part of the Ecclessia
@@vladhungrygen I like to know if the early church or the apostles received or paid tithes?. Why didn’t apostle Paul talk about tithing when he mentioned cheerful giving?.
@@vladhungrygenThanks for your feedback. Sorry, I just noticed it. In response...
I didn't say "tithing was returning". I said anything compulsory cannot be considered a gift. Biblical, systematic tithes were compulsory submissions of consumable items facilitated through ceremonial ordinances under Mosaic Law. That's not a "gift". That's a tax. And ceremonial ordinances under Mosiac Law that supported the Old Covenant system of atonement are now obsolete. They also didn't extend beyond Israel.
In Mathew 23:23 Jesus is chastising the Pharisees while acknowledging they were carrying out the ceremonial act of tithing. Notice the reference to "mint, dill, and cumin", not money. Again, that ordinance is now obsolete.
The "first fruits" weren't tithes and tithing was not ever referred to as a "principle" in the bible. The first fruits were heave offerings small enough to fit in a small basket, taken to the temple where they were consumed. Again, it consisted of consumable items, not money.
At no point did God or Jesus ever ask anyone for their money. Not the first, or the last of it. Tithing as it is practiced today has no biblical precedent. There's nothing wrong with practicing it if one chooses to, there's just no biblical mandate for anyone to pay 10% of the earnings to a religious institution. Not New Testament, or Old.
God isn't a mob boss or a slot machine. We're free to give, not bound to pay.
@@markb7067 Absolutely correct as you said " Free to give but not bound to pay" Had no problem as a christians giving but the problems are the pastors who obliged their members to thite especially their everlasting sermons of thiting and cursing. One day they will face judgement.
Pastors don't believe in generosity for themselves but for their congregation They own homes,cars and even planes While some of their congregation does not own a home or unable to pay their bills. They use people tithes on themselves but not on God's and those in need and abject poverty.
Does God say we have to give the whole 10% to the church we are members to? Or, can a portion go to different foundations/poor people?
Give to the poor, that's what and Jesus telling us in the Old and New Testament.
@@dimitromoses yes. I agree. I give to my church but I give most to the poor. My church is mega and super rich. But, the poor is without food and shelter and medication. They need my help more.
If The Most High already stated that he doesn't dwell in brick, and mortar buildings, nor things built with hands, then where are the people's 💰 money going if not to the widows, poor, fatherless, and orphans? Read Malachi 1, and 2 people, and stop allowing preachers to count your pockets under the disguise of religion. Tithes never was, nor ever will be in the form of 💰 money.
The Bible says the Bible says the Bible says the Bible says you're a wolf in sheep's clothing you should repent
i was convicteddd by thisss
Do I still tithe if I am a student, living 100% on borrowed credit/debt?
I wouldn't. You can if you choose to do so but there's no biblical requirement for anyone to tithe money to a religious institution.
You don't tithe at all. PERIOD.
tithe with your time then or things different God knows your heart
no you give what you want your free in Christ and he as no right to beat up Gods sheep
Honor God with all your increase. Period! We can't afford not to. May you see the many ways that God provides when you trust Him. That's my prayer for you.😊
ahh yes, pay your protection sucker!
Thus sayeth the Holy Don Corleone: "Pay your 10% or something unfortunate may happen to you."
Hypocrites! Tithing is a part of the Old Testament Law given through Moses in Judaism (Deuteronomy 14:22-29; Malachi 3:8-10; Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42; Luke 18:12).
But Christians, in New Testament Christianity give Alms in secret to the poor (Matthew 6:1-4; Luke 11:41; Acts 10:1-4; Acts 24:17), the truth many will not talk or teach about in Jesus' name. Amen.
true the pastor want your check stubs then beat u up and twist the Holy word all for the love of money i dont listen to any pastor who will not share the truth on giveing its free will period your free to give what you want period
I love this guy a lot he’s VERY anointed but this is where I draw the line …..Tithing is not mandatory - context context context ….that’s was only for a certain group in the Old Testament and for a specific purpose , it wasn’t even for the regular people to tithe , it was meant for the priests and on top of that they TITHED FOOD ONLY FOOD , not once in the Bible both old and New Testament had anyone tithed with money NOT ONCE !! And the whole Malachi they use to put fear is taken out of context 100000000% …..it’s so wrong to do this .
“Oh but there was no money back then and that’s why they tithed food , BIG LIE as well , there has been currency all the way back to the book of Exodus I can go on and on to prove all this …….Read your Bible y’all get familiar and you will have an awakening!!!
Praying for you
You are 1,000% RIGHT. Learning this a few years ago set us free from the tithing lie. It took a while to learn that, if I actually READ the Bible, I find that most of what preachers taught me was garbage. tithing is greed.
I love that line about "They didn't use money back then." I suppose the brothers of Joseph sold him to the slave traders for a side of beef.
The Bible is the tithe pushers' worst enemy.
This is a powerful message! Can we show this video over livestream at our church?
he does not work, so he does not tithes and he lives of people's money this is a sin,
Religion business center
So, in summary, you teach that Jesus said, "It is finished...except for your weekly payment."
you notice they only want the money wound how much it cost to het the povert demon cast out lol
Pastor is busy contradicting himself and the Word just to promote a carnal doctrine. Jesus Christ has no effect to such period.
ALL pastors who take tithes off the people are breaking the 10TH commandment.
ALL who pay tithes are causing their pastors to break the 10TH commandment.
Tithing is old covenant.
Yahshua came to fulfill the old covenant.
Yahshua said:" It is finished." John 19: 30. The old covenant finished.
We are commanded in the inspired scripture to feed the poor DIRECT, NOT feed the bellies of the pastors and cause them to SIN by breaking Yahweh's commandments. 1John 3: 4 . Rom 3: 20.
IF you cause your pastor to break the 10TH commandment he will be lost because he broke Yahweh's 10TH commandment BUT you will be lost also because you caused your pastor to SIN by breaking Yahweh's commandments.
FEARFUL Inspired scriptures.
Tithe is for the Levi priest because they receive no inheritance Numbers 18:21-24...😂.. Second Peter 2:1-3 describes the false teachers and false prophets will make merchandise of you 😂
This pastor is so greedy and money motivated he doesn't understand his teachings are wrong, this guy loves tithes and not the gospel of grace at all coz he's teaching contrary to apostle Paul and he said even if an angel come from heaven and teach another gospel let him be accursed.
Tithing is not pary of the gospel of liberty
Begging for money is not GODS WILL , & this speaker is no different than a person on the side of the road with cardboard sign begging for money , open your eyes people salvation comes by believing, Grace is what God does in you & GOD IS NOT AFTER YOUR MONEY ,HES AFTER YR HEART ❤️
God is after your money. Because where you treasure is that’s where your heart will be also.
False teaching
@@nomatusi7514 FACTS
I believe this person , now , knows this teaching is true :)
Kyle Manning~JCIC Tithe is not for Christians.
Show me one chapter of a verse that says Christians paid tithe?
@@davidaggrey4568 Malachi 3 it’s also in numbers
@@SweetbunnibabiNot even a single christian in Malachi and Numbers
Galatians 3:10, Romans10:4.
you had to keep the whole law not just the tithe now were free in Christ in fact the gentils were never tithe or were told to tithe
Moreover God hath not referenced Abram's tenth as a tithe in Leviticus when He commanded the Liviticus priesthood to take tithes from their brethren.
"Contend for the faith," not the law. All things written in the bible is FOR us , but not all things written in the bible is TO us; some things are written to Jews and NOT to the Gentiles. We live after the cross in the dispensation of the Church age or the kingdom of God. A tenth can be given as free willed offerings, as was with Abram; it was not commanded by God to Abram. A tithe (ten percent) or tithing ten percent is not initiated by Abram (Abram is not higher than God) but solely by and put into effect by LAW. Centuries later God COMMANDS the Levites to TAKE tithes from THEIR bretheren because they had no inheritance and lived by the tithe; although Levi was in the loins of Abram when Abram (GAVE A TENTH AND NOT PAID A TITHE) to Melchizedek. One had to be of the blood-linege of Aaron to take tithes. Those whom are not, are in breach of God's order for taking tithes from the assembly; thereby exposing the assembly to lack of giving cheerfully, and other related money problems as satan would have it.
Thanks
Thank you for giving, God bless you!
Amen
