If the Jews no longer tithe because it would be a sin - seeing there's no more temple and Levites to give them to, then why are Christians adopting this prosperity gospel thru tithing? The "seed" is the WORD of GOD, the seed is NOT "tithing" and giving money! Give, but not under compulsion!
C'mon Tony. There is a lot in the Word of God to talk about then to spend most of your time constantly talking about people. Almost every video I see with you in it you are constantly yelling at people and trying to validate your point about how everyone is wrong and apparently your right. Balance my brother...balance. Aggression doesn't draw people to Christ. This is just an observation.... YOU JUST SEEM MAD ALL THE TIME.
plenty of times in New testament scriptures. He taught about the crooks who come in to rape the church, but he also taught the church to take care of those who lead righteously. It's a hot button, but in the end God want's everything that we have to bring him glory (Lives, Money, conversation, food, time, etc.) P.S. The ones who are selling their tapes and dvd's are robbing Gods people too then. Shouldn't G Craig Lewis dvd on tithes be free too #lol We all can do a little more studying brother..
I never agreed that people should be forced to tithe. Those who have a heart to give will do so out of a pure heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity. I will also say that there is a blessing in giving regardless of what its called (Tithing,Free will,Gift, first fruits). My original point was that i don't argue with folks about it because people are either going to give or not give. Also we are the Temple, but we meet in buildings and building cost money. Money is necessary and Paul teaches us
@zoj33 are you saying that both tithes and offerings are wrong? What about the righteousness of the LAW (not the righteous law-ten commandments), was it pinned to the cross with Jesus also? Why did Christ himself sit along side the treasury watching who gave in the house of the LORD (Remember he didn't condemn are teach against those who gave, he only taught about the motives for which they gave) noticing the woman that gave her mites?
The funny thing about those who try to abandon the tithe is that the New Testament saint Gave more than a tenth. In Acts didn't the saints sale all that they had (by choice) and laid it all at the Apostles feet to be distributed? Money is a litmus test of the heart. I don't argue the fact of tithing. I let folks know that "you reap what you sow" "God gives seed to the sower" "give and it shall be given to you" People find excuses not to give. Everything that we do should be done unto God.
@goin2reignwithhim You reap what you sow is the 'Propsperity Movements' favorite passage of scripture. It's there way of justifying their lottery ticket practices of wringing all the money from poor people with the belief that you will reap more financial blessings if you sow more finances. This, I believe, is the reason people are eager to part ways with the false teaching of tithing, not because they don't want to give. You want the option, not to be forced.
@goin2reignwithhim ur right everything we do should be done unto God, but i tell u this tithing is not done unto God, not the way "the church" does it today. God said he doesnt reside in temples made by hands (church buildings). for 1 tithes were for the homeless, widows and priest (in the old testament before Christ). for 2 tithes werent money it was food. for 3 tithes being part of the law was pinned to the cross along with Christ. do a lil more studies on it my man.
there is no NT teaching for tithes. the NT begins in Acts, after Christ was Crucified. while he was alive in Matthew Mark Luke and John, they still lived under the law. the law was crucified on the cross with Christ. he jus minipulated folk by not reading the whole scripture, Mat5:18 says none shall pass from this until all is fulfilled, now if u know the Word then u know all of the law was fulfilled wen Christ was crucified at Calvary.
@zoj33 Exactly. No one posting on this video has addressed this since you wrote it and they are going off on tangents of everything else. This is the same tactic that their pastor's take from the pulpit and this is why they believe it. Since these people aren't willing to read and study for themselves, I feel like they deserve to have these pastor's robbing them.
Also we are under the Covenant of Grace as previous people have posted. As well, we are Gentiles and never were or will be under the law. The only way we were grafted in was by the Cross and Israel's rejection. The JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH!!
Under the Law man was required 23 1/3 (10 percent for feasts,10 for the priesthood and 3 1/3 for the poor) but under Grace or Justification by faith which we receive from Abraham was called a tithe or tenth! I believe in paying tithes but this person isn't explaining scripture correctly. Tithes have no bearing on Salvation. It will determine how the Lord blesses you however! Twisting scripture is easy if you don't know the word
Who opens a book in the middle and can tell you what happens in the beginning? Part of rightly dividing the word of truth is knowing WHO you are in the Bible, When someone is talking to or about you and HOW it applies to you! You are adopted into the family of God, by the New Covenant thru Christ! So we are not subject to Old Covenant Law!
Listen! To all of you who keep using old testament (which means old covenant) scriptures to validate your point, please stop! You are a Gentile! Your foundation is based upon the Death, Burial & Resurrection of Jesus Christ! You are not/never have been under the law! Read my post 8 days ago! You can't apply, for example; Malachi 3:7-11 to today's church because he wasn't talking to us! Malachi 1:1 "This is the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi." Who opens a book in the middle and can tell y
what the hell is GOD going to do with money. the only thing GOD stand to lose on this earth. think about it money gold and all that is his the only think he stand to loose is us his childern Isaiah 34 16 tells you what to do just read it and romans 15 4 back that up read it
Jeremiah 31:33 "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people."
2 Cor. 3:3
And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
@FitnessMinded I get the feeling you are seventh day adventist...lol. Pretty sad if you are. If you're not, why try to push jewish law on believers? Tithing is not a commandment for non-jews. Sharing and giving is a commandment for all believers. Tihting is so legalistic it was given to the jews as a requirement because they won't not give otherwise. If you think that once you've given 10% your done, then you're sadly mistaken. Giving has no measure.
@TheRockToronto777 Please understand New Covenant and the New Testament. Understand what Christ said about the fulfillment of the law. Do you understand we are called to those same commandments? Love God with all thy heart, mind, soul, and strength and Love thy neighbor as thyself? That is the fulfillment of the law. The two greatest commands are the fulfillment of the 10 commandments.
Interesting, the apostles speak of the two greatest commands after Christ death
@FitnessMinded Yes Christ fulfills the law of course. Those two other commandments don't fulfill the law, you have it wrong there. Only Christ can fulfill the law. There is no replacement to the 10 commandments. If you do anything of yourself, then you will fail. What you need to see is when He died you were there, when He rose you were there. He now lives and so you now live. Your strength is from Him and not of your own. Do you understand?
Love God with all thy heart, mind, soul, and strength and Love Thy neighbor is what we are called to do. This is consistent from OT to NT. Christ and the apostles repeat this. It is what identifies a perservering saint. If you do these things you will naturally support your ministry and this will be from your heart and you will no longer need to be told that is what you are supposed to do. The New Covenant is upon your heart and this is where HIS law is. The Royal Law.
@FitnessMinded Faith in God through Jesus Christ is what we are also called to do. This faith is not seperated from the two greatest commands. We are to do both. This is a sign that you are in Christ if you keep HIS commands. This is throughout book of John. Supporting your ministry through giving and what people consider tithing is supporting the continuance of the message of the Gospel. It is to be done through love and not by minimum standards. A cheerful loving heart
@FitnessMinded The new covenant is not what you state above. The new covenant removed the division between the two (Gentiles and Jews) and made them one in Christ. The Jews have the law. Before Christ, the Gentiles had nothing, they were without a law. In Christ there is neither Jew or Gentile, there is no longer a law to be fulfilled because Christ fulfills all of it. It's by faith and no longer works. Works of kindness and sharing ..yes...but not works of the law.
"21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”
2 John 1:6
"And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love."
@FitnessMinded And this is to support your argument for tithing? If you believe in your heart that obeying commandments in your flesh is the right thing for you to do, then who am I to argue with you? You can walk in your flesh and try as much as you want. You will only fail. So to say your place in Heaven depends on your fulfillment of the commandments, would make God's Grace of no effect. That's why it's called Grace, it's not of works.
@FitnessMinded Furthermore, you already know you lost this argument so why press it further? You can show the world your works, I will tell the world of God's grace. Do you really think it's your works that brings salvation? Of course not! So if your works didn't bring salvation, what makes you think your works will permit you to keep your salvation??? If you didn't obtain it by works, then your works have nothing to do with it!
@IgboAbroad No the law was made for the Jews, not Gentiles. Your arguments are not even worth arguing because you are obviously wrong in the point your making and the scripture you're quoting does not support your argument.
@TheRockToronto777 I believe in 2 Cor. 9:7. I don't believe in stingyness I don't believe in giving the minimum. I don't believe anything that we have should be only reserved for ourselves but all of it for God's ministry. However, I don't believe in teaching the tithe in terms of law, because tithing was done before the law righteously and from the heart giving your first and best. All a shadow of the coming of Christ. Please read book of Romans sir, it explains
Giving and sharing is a blessing, but don't be fooled it's about being obedient to God because as is everything that God calls us in, it is not always easy for us to do, but we do it because (1) We trust Him and (2) We love Him. I can't teach you how to tithe, but I can tell you from experience, that giving is of promise and faith. By sight, people of this world think I'm insane, but in every way God has poured out His blessings on my life and I can't deny He is so faithful.
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
The purpose of this forum and any other where God's word is being analyzed is to instruct and guide, not mislead or misinterpret. I'm not a scholar, but am diligently seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit when being taught and sharing God's word so it goes forth and produces fruit. The Fig tree that produced no fruit was cursed by Christ and cut down. Let's be righteous in God's eyes, and be certain we rightly divide the word of truth.
Matthew 23:23 and Isaiah 1:13-20 clearly points out there are more weighty matters to tend to prior to ritual of religion. You must become righteous in God's eyes. Old Testament clearly shows the priests has to cleanse themselves prior to giving any offerings or sacrifices. Tithing is good, it should not be taught a superior to more weighty topics that makes one righteous. And 2 Cor. 9:7 is the teaching that goes beyond a 10th. Because in actuality, tithing in OT was more than 10%
@FitnessMinded Thank your responding. The purpose of this forum and any other where God's word is being analyzed is to instruct and guide, not mislead or misinterpret. I'm not a scholar, but am diligently seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit when being taught and sharing God's word so it goes forth and produces fruit. The Fig tree that produced no fruit was cursed by Christ and cut down. Let's be righteous in God's eyes, and be certain we rightly divide the word of truth.
@APAPThomas Agreed! The scripture speaks for itself
The tithe is instituted, described and detailed in much of the Old Testament prior to Mal. 3:8. Mal. 3:8 is still under law, and not grace. People have to rightly divide scripture, and this is true. Rightly dividing scripture is to apply the preceeding OT scriptures to Malachi 3:8. My point, 2 Cor. 9:7 as well as how the 1st century saints had all things in common and gave over and above is how we are to give not just a 10th
@FitnessMinded What made how the men of old gave righteous? it was faith. Abraham had no law that made him tithe to Melchizedek. It was instinctively in his heart. Read 1 Tim. 1:9. A righteous man will give to ministry over abundantly from a cheerful heart, and not just a 10th. Study OT Israel and what their demeanor was. It is not slanderous to say that there was much wickedness and a constant need to call them to repentance. Needless to say, law was necessary for them
@FitnessMinded The tithe is good. The law is good. We are called to a righteousness beyond just the minimum. Let's be clear, I donot agree with people who use scripture as an excuse not to tithe. They are in error too. However, Paul clexplains how we are to give to God and there is a righteousness and more weighty matters to attend to along with tithing. I believe people forget that and place all their eggs in the tithe plate. Without faith and repentance = vain rituals
There's a simple truth for all of us who are uncertain on HOW to study and interpret the bible. We don't take a scripture and tailor it to fit our purpose and further prove our point which, I'm almost 100% certain, is incorrect. Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
Malachi 3:10-11 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, it I will not open you rhe windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field said the Lord of hosts.
@APAPThomas If you are going by the letter of the scripture, go back further into the Pentetuch regarding what the tithe was, the righteousness required to give it, who it was to be given to, how much, and what the tithe was actually. You can not preface giving with Malachi 3:8 and not preface Malachi 3:8 with Deut. 14:22-23 and other OT scripts.
Isaiah 1:13-20 about ritual, worship, and law without righteousness,
What is wrong with you people? Are we reading the same bible? Proverbs 3:9 Honor the Lord with they substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Christ said that he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfil it! This means the requirements will be taken care of upon his death! If we continue to try and gain salvation through the works of the law we negate the what Christ did for us on the cross! This does not give us free reign to sin God forbids it! But you must be led by the spirit, not the flesh Galations 5:19-23 will explain the differences! 2Cor 9:7 teaches you how to give! Give it from your heart not out of fear or obligation
The reason why the scripture he's using does not apply to New Covenant believers is found in Hebrews 9:16-17! When you read this passage you'll find that New Covenant does not come into effect until after the death of Christ! That being said Christ is born in the old covenant law! Next you must understand who you are! You are a Gentile! Christ in this passage is speaking to the jewish priests! When you accept Christ you recieve liberty & grace and are no longer under the law (Galations 3 thru 5)
notice he took tithing of not being money to well i dont have a farm i dont grow crops my tithe is money so no one in the pass had jobs really you preach tithing because your income cant surport the church you wont,you talk about GINO but whats the differnts he sales tapes you make tithing law again and now it must be money...... SHOW ME IN THE BOOK PLEASE
stop being stupid people and stop tithing. pastor do not mean shepard psalm 23. tithing has never being money show me in GODS commandments where it talk about tithing. that was moses law and when Jesus die he took that moses laws. PEOPLE PPLEASE LOOK AT smith any preacher talks about money is preacher of false droctrine. WHY WOULD OUR FATHER YAHEW wont whats already his LOL
Remember, the Mosaic laws were given to the tribes of Israel. Everyone else was considered a Gentile. Jesus/Yeshua was from the tribe of Judah. He was not a land owner, farmer, etc. This is why he didn't tithe and he was also not called to be a priest after the order of Aaron. He was a practicing Jew. The law was disannulled when Jesus gave up the ghost on the cross ("It is finished"). That is the beginning of the new covnant. The conversation in Melachi 3 was before this.
NO HES CLOSE ,BUT NEED MORE INFO . TITHES WAS ONLY FOR THE LEVITES, BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD ANY LAND . SO EVERY YEAR WE WOULD COME TO JERUSALEM GOD TOLD US TO BRING 10% OF YOUR CORN,WINE,SHEEP ETC . ITS WAS ONLY FOR THE LEVITES. THATS WHY PAUL NEVER ASK FOR TITHES BECAUSE HE WAS NOT A LEVITE .HE WAS A BENJAMITE..
@armine251 Close. The Levites were the only tribe called to the Priesthood. That's why they collected the tithe and offerings. Of the other tribes, the only ones required to tithe were land owners, farmers, etc. Paul was a Roman.
spirit lessons dot com is the website of testimonies of 7 people who went to heaven and hell all at the same time. We can learn from those who have experienced this and Learn even More for the reasons people said they are in torment. So we can know and understand for our self what to do and not to do.
Testimonies of 7 people who went to Heaven and Hell.
We continued walking, seeing thousands and thousands of people. There were young people, adults and elderly people suffering in torment. We arrived in a place that looked like a big swimming pool of fire, with thousands of men and women inside of it.
Each of them had metal plate on their chest that read: "I am here for not giving tithes and offerings" When I read that, I asked the Lord, "Lord, how can this be possible, that people are here for this reason??" The Lord responded, "Yes, because these people thought that tithes and offerings were not important, when
my Word shows it as a command." In Malachi 3:8-9 it says "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me. But you say, 'How have we robbed Thee?' In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you."The Lord told me that when His people withhold their tithes, it hinders the work of the Lord, and then the Gospel is not preached. People in this place suffered a thousand times worse than others, because they knew the Word of the Lord and disobeyed.
@3344TJ So, exactly how does the bible suggest we ought to tithe? Can you explain the concepts of tithe and offering (Why was it commanded? Can you give biblical reference)? Have you read particularly the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy? I encourage you to. Then, for clarity, read Exodus and then Isaiah. Once that is somewhat understood, read Matthew, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians and Hebrews. Then go back and read the entire book.
@Ktaressa So tell me are you one these "the tithe was for the Leviticus Priest people". Oh let's see you're the "misquote Paul out of context believer"? lol you people lack so much understanding of the Word and the Prophets who TAUGHT it.
@3344TJ Yes, I am! lol The Bible never mentions Jesus tithing to any priest, although he was a practicing Jew. Obviously, this was because Jesus was not a farmer/land owner. He was a Carpenter (builder) by trade. Hebrews 8 explains Jesus' priesthood under the new covenant, which did not take effect until Jesus gave up the ghost on the cross. His is not like the priesthood described in the Mosaic law.
@Ktaressa Tithing is Still a commandment which means it has never changed. Why did Yeshua (Jesus) called his Disciples over to give them a deeper UNDERSTANDING if he was going to throw away this commandment Read Mark 12:41-44; also the Leviticus Priest appointed themselves and The Most High used them; also the Word says Now we ALL are Priest.HELLO... meaning we need to be keeping the commandments and the law (torah). Also you might want to read testimonies of heaven and hell very interesting.
Correction...Jesus was not talking to the NT church he was talking to the religious leaders still under law. Furthermore to talk about law and the tot and jittle scripture you have to know the difference between moral, ceremonial, and judicial law of the OT..obviously this preacher has not gone deep enough to come away with an accurate discourse on tithing.
There is a simple answer for this.....Jesus was talking to the religious leaders before his death...BEFORE his death. THe law was still instituted at this time. What is this guy talking about?? This is NT but its also pre death and resurrection. I taught this guy was about Bible and calling others false teachers. He is obviously misinterpreting scripture and has no idea what context is.
this is false what he is teaching here.i can give alot of scriptures proving we are not under that way of giving,but i will say this, how come jesus paid taxes to caesar when he told peter to catch a fish and take the money out the fish mouth and pay his and the disciple taxes with that,but no where in the four gospel jesus never gave tithes to the storehouse or his disciples.
ROMANS10:4 FOR CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW......GALATIANS3:25 BUT NOW THAT FAITH HAS ARRIVED, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER AS TUTOR..........MARK12:44 she dropped in her whole living-WIDOW'S two coin. 2corinthians9:7 God loves a cheerful giver. THEY could eat PORK in the LAW but NOW colossians2:16 says we can eat anything
Tithing was law but was never money and by tithing being LAW we should give food to the churches thats tithing law willfull giving wasn't tithing and it was used to keep the church up NOT FOR THE PREACHER POCKET. They gave wine to the church as part of the tithing they gave food to the church as part of tithing YOUR right Lord Jesus didn't change it the preacher did MATTHREW 15 @ 9 ( 1Cor 9 @ 16 and 18

@FitnessMinded Tithing is a misconception because the Jews gave 23% of their annual income and savings to the Levites and poor. Don't be ignorant, if you give everything away, then obviously you can no longer share your belongings and income with those who are teachers, preachers, etc. because you have nothing left to share. You should be giving what God tells you to give not what you "feel" like giving.
"There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales. and laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need."
@FitnessMinded You seem to be confusing tithing which is a tenth and giving and sharing...I'm referring to giving and sharing. None of my statements are contradictory if you read them carefully. Always has to be someone trying to start an arguement. I don't waste my time with troublemakers.
I did not initiate a conversation with you. Nor did I speak ill of you either. Please read your scripture on that as well. No, I am no adventist, I am speaking scripture sir.
There is no confusion with tithing and giving and offering.
You sir have not answered my question either but made non-scriptural assumptions. What I said is literal from Acts of what the apostolic church actually did sir
will eye for an eye pass from the law till all be fulfill? will animal sacrifice pass until all be fulfill? didn't Jesus when on the cross say "It is FULFILLED"? I would just like to know that i maybe set on the right path..
will eye for an eye pass from the law till all be fulfill? will animal sacrifice pass until all be fulfill? didn't Jesus when on the cross say "I is FULFILLED"? I would just like to know that i maybe set on the right path..
THERE IS NO TITHING IN THE NEW COVENANT. PERIOD. Any scholar of the Bible knows that the New Testament church did not begin with the four gospels. It began in the book of Acts with the advent of the Holy Spirit, when over 3,000 souls were converted. Neither Peter nor Paul, who were the premier leaders of the New Covenant church taught tithing. But rather, they instructed to people to give cheerfully without grudging. There is not one shred of evidence to support tithing in the New Testament.
The law has been fulfilled in the principle of sowing and reaping, as taught in the New Testament. It's a higher level of spiritual obedience than tithing and produces greater fruit.
As I have researched and gone back into scripture; tithing was never instituted to maintain PHYSICAL buildings. It's funny how we have to all of a sudden pay GOD 10%. However, CHRIST fed 5,000 people then 4,000 without them giving him any money. Strange isn't it? This is why it's so important for us to research and study for ourselves. When we began to study to show ourselves approved; we will find that the MAJORITY of what we've learned in the so-called CHURCH are LIES.
@TheDaughtersofChrist Amen. It's difficult to stand for truth in an environment of ignorance and guilt. But Christ said "I come that you might have life..." and "...the truth shall MAKE you free."
He contradicted himself: he said I'm a shepherd and then he quoted what Jesus said "I am THE good shepherd" now my question who is THE shepherd, him or Jesus?
It is easy to deceive someone who can not ask questions directly, this man, just everyone else preaching the payment of tithes and offerings ignore too many other scriptures in order to receive something they are not entitled to.
Maybe one day we can all get together and sit down with the bible and let the word of God speak, so those who still believe this lie can see the truth. Yes it is a sin to pay tithes and offerings to a so called pastor, just like it is a sin to receive it.
THEY (WHICH WERE THE 11 TRIBES) PAID TITHES TO THE LEVITES ONLY,NOT "THE LORD" AND TITHES WAS FOOD,NOT MONEY.THEY HAD MONEY BACK THEN,BUT IT WAS PAID FOR THE SERVICE AND UP KEEP OF THE BUILDING.
But again, this is why 1 John 2:26,27 reads: I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and YOU DO NOT NEED ANYONE TO TEACH YOU. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
This is a prime example Of a Apostolic Preacher that Have been Lead away by his own rightness. Tony Smith has been Lead away .. Every thing you find wrong in all the other churches are sitting right there with you and the ex con and the bottomfeeders that has decided to follow you and most of your congragation are people that have not rightly divded the but Have left it up to you .
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit."
"All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them."
You know the funny thing is, if you are going off of Malachi to justify tithing, you have to go back to Leviticus to understand that there was more than one tithe (10th). There were several tithes. And it wasn't just a tenth of your gross income. So people are teaching tithing standards incorrectly
I think that a righteous person would tithe and support a true ministry and pastor naturally because it was in their heart. Abel was faithful and gave to God an appropriate offering. Abraham tithed. If you read Hebrews 11 you see that what they had in common was they righteous by faith. Their hearts were right. They had the law in their hearts naturally (Jeremiah 31) before the tables of stone. If love and faith were taught as righteousness and not money, people would naturally want 2 give
@lynnsherry100 We, the believers of Christ together are the church that Christ speaks of. Not a building. Our bodies are His temple, as the old physical one was destroyed. That is why we are to flee from sexual immorality as it is a sin against the body, where the Spirit lives.
dis man is all over the place one video his spreakin truth the next video his speakin just pure wrongness like i dont even have to look at the video the title speaks for it self
I hate to say this but you your pastor yall..church..is going to the devil......what word is he reading,,,his word is his word and not gods..rethink it..all these ppl..would not be against your preacher..if he was not falsefyin the truth..
no one is attacking him just speaking truth. Only the spiritual blind would pray for a unrepenting snake. We are not judging him but the false teaching.
the bible says Abraham GAVE a tithe (freewill) god never cammanded it. the bible says Jacob made a VOW again (freewill) God never commanded it. CONCLUSION, if Abraham and Jacob gave freewill offering. Why should children of the Most High tithe. I've notice people not defending this foolishness (lack of scripture) youtubers know this is just a jelly belly pimp trying to get paid
Listen this guy is not a christian OR A Pastor, but a big big false prohpet who is in serious denial and misquoting the Bible. Are you ever going to preach about Salvation and speaking some good into people's lifes or you will continue to incite hatred amongst christians. One more thing YOU DO NOT KNOW THE BIBLE. I will edge people here on youtube not to watch this guy again. HE IS AN AGENT FROM THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE.
There is no longer any sacrifice for sins,there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus,there is no guilt to be felt,there is no longer any forgiveness to be obtained for those in Christ..for by that one sacrifice [Jesus] God has made forever perfect those who have received his life,so enter his rest,rest from your works as he has rested...the work is done! that's the message you should be speaking,not this GUILT TRIP!...that's not of God. I beseech you he said,be reconciled unto God!
You guys are taking that scripture out of context in light of Gods Grace! God canceled the written word "The Law" which was opposed to us,it was there to show us our sin,and when we found we couldn't live up to it,then we would turn to the cross and his provision for us..the removal of ALL our sins..after that time he wrote his law upon our heart,but that's not GUILT for not giving to a church...now a days it's free will giving..you like you church? then support it if you want!
Mark 12:38-40 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
Also, if God considered me unrightous, God and I wouldn't share such a close relationship. I hear The Most High's voice regularly. He gives instruction and tells me the blessing that will follow my obedience to God's voice. The blessing ALWAYS manifests. So why would I, a child of My Father, need to repent and become enslaved like you? LOL my Father is royalty. What do you think that makes me? LOL
@thebibleconsultant, I posted a lot of scripture that supported salvation by faith (and love) rather than the works of the law. That is the ENTIRE gospel of Christ. Either you have faith in Christ and his Word, or you are bound to follow the law for salvation. It's not that difficult to comprehend.
@thebibleconsultant, ...cont. The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
@thebibleconsultant, I whole-heartedly disagree. Galatians 3:10-14 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” cont...
There is always a place where money has to be included. Ive been reading and have seen tithing to be in crops and the money came from atonement and other offereings such as tresspass.... When did tithing turn to money?
@chiefprimate Yes...teach WHY God put the Law in place,but we don't teach people to live under it! We live by the Grace of God,not the Law,and that's what should be taught! The Law tells get to work and clean that flesh up enough to please God..No way!..The Grace of God says,it was all my doing and none of yours,you can't please me by your good works...in fact we can't do Gods work,only he can in and through if we get out of the way and let him! But our pride has to try gutting it out for God!
Jesus was speaking to Pharisees who were still under the law. Jesus was under the law until he died on the cross at which time he redeemed us from the law.
This is totally not of God and people like him don't upset me because u can't b a believer but say the word says something against the word we pray for folks like him because if he isn't degrading people from the pulpit he is going against the word everybody use to be a ex something each day we deal with temptation but that's why we read the word day and night God Bless
According to the New Testament, I John 3: 4, sin is transgression of the law, sin is lawlessness. So if the law is done away with, then I guess there's no more sin in the world. Whew, that's a relief!

2 Corinthians 9:9 As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”
2 Corinthians 9:12 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
The good news is that YOU ARE FREE!! Free your mind. The new testament tells us to GIVE rather than TITHE, but it's instruction is so that the poor, fatherless, and widowed would not go without. (2 Corinthians 9:9) It has NOTHING to do with paying bills for a building, since the church is a group of believers, not a building. We are the temple.
Some of y'all had better start reading your Word and rely less on people preaching to you. Even the Bible says to Let GOD be true and EVERY man a liar. It's in the Word. Don't take my word for it, read the Book.
Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
“When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance and saw the Lord speaking to me. ‘Quick!’ he said. ‘Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people here will not accept your testimony about me.’
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?
If the Jews no longer tithe because it would be a sin - seeing there's no more temple and Levites to give them to, then why are Christians adopting this prosperity gospel thru tithing? The "seed" is the WORD of GOD, the seed is NOT "tithing" and giving money! Give, but not under compulsion!

I never agreed that people should be forced to tithe. Those who have a heart to give will do so out of a pure heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity. I will also say that there is a blessing in giving regardless of what its called (Tithing,Free will,Gift, first fruits). My original point was that i don't argue with folks about it because people are either going to give or not give. Also we are the Temple, but we meet in buildings and building cost money. Money is necessary and Paul teaches us

@zoj33 are you saying that both tithes and offerings are wrong? What about the righteousness of the LAW (not the righteous law-ten commandments), was it pinned to the cross with Jesus also?

The funny thing about those who try to abandon the tithe is that the New Testament saint Gave more than a tenth. In Acts didn't the saints sale all that they had (by choice) and laid it all at the Apostles feet to be distributed? Money is a litmus test of the heart. I don't argue the fact of tithing. I let folks know that "you reap what you sow" "God gives seed to the sower" "give and it shall be given to you" People find excuses not to give. Everything that we do should be done unto God.

@goin2reignwithhim You reap what you sow is the 'Propsperity Movements' favorite passage of scripture. It's there way of justifying their lottery ticket practices of wringing all the money from poor people with the belief that you will reap more financial blessings if you sow more finances. This, I believe, is the reason people are eager to part ways with the false teaching of tithing, not because they don't want to give. You want the option, not to be forced.

@TheRockToronto777 Please understand New Covenant and the New Testament. Understand what Christ said about the fulfillment of the law. Do you understand we are called to those same commandments? Love God with all thy heart, mind, soul, and strength and Love thy neighbor as thyself? That is the fulfillment of the law. The two greatest commands are the fulfillment of the 10 commandments.
Interesting, the apostles speak of the two greatest commands after Christ death

@FitnessMinded Yes Christ fulfills the law of course. Those two other commandments don't fulfill the law, you have it wrong there. Only Christ can fulfill the law. There is no replacement to the 10 commandments. If you do anything of yourself, then you will fail. What you need to see is when He died you were there, when He rose you were there. He now lives and so you now live. Your strength is from Him and not of your own. Do you understand?

Love God with all thy heart, mind, soul, and strength and Love Thy neighbor is what we are called to do. This is consistent from OT to NT. Christ and the apostles repeat this. It is what identifies a perservering saint. If you do these things you will naturally support your ministry and this will be from your heart and you will no longer need to be told that is what you are supposed to do. The New Covenant is upon your heart and this is where HIS law is. The Royal Law.

@FitnessMinded Faith in God through Jesus Christ is what we are also called to do. This faith is not seperated from the two greatest commands. We are to do both. This is a sign that you are in Christ if you keep HIS commands. This is throughout book of John. Supporting your ministry through giving and what people consider tithing is supporting the continuance of the message of the Gospel. It is to be done through love and not by minimum standards. A cheerful loving heart

It's by faith and no longer works. Works of kindness and sharing ..yes...but not works of the law.

If you believe in your heart that obeying commandments in your flesh is the right thing for you to do, then who am I to argue with you? You can walk in your flesh and try as much as you want. You will only fail. So to say your place in Heaven depends on your fulfillment of the commandments, would make God's Grace of no effect. That's why it's called Grace, it's not of works.

I can't teach you how to tithe, but I can tell you from experience, that giving is of promise and faith.

@APAPThomas Agreed! The scripture speaks for itself
The tithe is instituted, described and detailed in much of the Old Testament prior to Mal. 3:8. Mal. 3:8 is still under law, and not grace. People have to rightly divide scripture, and this is true. Rightly dividing scripture is to apply the preceeding OT scriptures to Malachi 3:8. My point, 2 Cor. 9:7 as well as how the 1st century saints had all things in common and gave over and above is how we are to give not just a 10th

It is not slanderous to say that there was much wickedness and a constant need to call them to repentance. Needless to say, law was necessary for them

Remember, the Mosaic laws were given to the tribes of Israel. Everyone else was considered a Gentile. Jesus/Yeshua was from the tribe of Judah. He was not a land owner, farmer, etc. This is why he didn't tithe and he was also not called to be a priest after the order of Aaron. He was a practicing Jew. The law was disannulled when Jesus gave up the ghost on the cross ("It is finished"). That is the beginning of the new covnant. The conversation in Melachi 3 was before this.

Each of them had metal plate on their chest that read: "I am here for not giving tithes and offerings" When I read that, I asked the Lord, "Lord, how can this be possible, that people are here for this reason??"

my Word shows it as a command." In Malachi 3:8-9 it says "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me. But you say, 'How have we robbed Thee?' In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you."The Lord told me that when His people withhold their tithes, it hinders the work of the Lord, and then the Gospel is not preached. People in this place suffered a thousand times worse than others, because they knew the Word of the Lord and disobeyed.

@3344TJ So, exactly how does the bible suggest we ought to tithe? Can you explain the concepts of tithe and offering (Why was it commanded? Can you give biblical reference)? Have you read particularly the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy? I encourage you to. Then, for clarity, read Exodus and then Isaiah. Once that is somewhat understood, read Matthew, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians and Hebrews. Then go back and read the entire book.

@Ktaressa So tell me are you one these "the tithe was for the Leviticus Priest people". Oh let's see you're the "misquote Paul out of context believer"? lol you people lack so much understanding of the Word and the Prophets who TAUGHT it.
3344TJ 2 months ago
@3344TJ Yes, I am! lol The Bible never mentions Jesus tithing to any priest, although he was a practicing Jew. Obviously, this was because Jesus was not a farmer/land owner. He was a Carpenter (builder) by trade. Hebrews 8 explains Jesus' priesthood under the new covenant, which did not take effect until Jesus gave up the ghost on the cross. His is not like the priesthood described in the Mosaic law.

@Ktaressa Tithing is Still a commandment which means it has never changed. Why did Yeshua (Jesus) called his Disciples over to give them a deeper UNDERSTANDING if he was going to throw away this commandment Read Mark 12:41-44; also the Leviticus Priest appointed themselves and The Most High used them; also the Word says Now we ALL are Priest.HELLO... meaning we need to be keeping the commandments and the law (torah). Also you might want to read testimonies of heaven and hell very interesting.

Correction...Jesus was not talking to the NT church he was talking to the religious leaders still under law. Furthermore to talk about law and the tot and jittle scripture you have to know the difference between moral, ceremonial, and judicial law of the OT..obviously this preacher has not gone deep enough to come away with an accurate discourse on tithing.
jamel11234 2 months ago
There is a simple answer for this.....Jesus was talking to the religious leaders before his death...BEFORE his death. THe law was still instituted at this time. What is this guy talking about?? This is NT but its also pre death and resurrection. I taught this guy was about Bible and calling others false teachers. He is obviously misinterpreting scripture and has no idea what context is.

@FitnessMinded Tithing is a misconception because the Jews gave 23% of their annual income and savings to the Levites and poor. Don't be ignorant, if you give everything away, then obviously you can no longer share your belongings and income with those who are teachers, preachers, etc. because you have nothing left to share. You should be giving what God tells you to give not what you "feel" like giving.

THERE IS NO TITHING IN THE NEW COVENANT. PERIOD. Any scholar of the Bible knows that the New Testament church did not begin with the four gospels. It began in the book of Acts with the advent of the Holy Spirit, when over 3,000 souls were converted. Neither Peter nor Paul, who were the premier leaders of the New Covenant church taught tithing. But rather, they instructed to people to give cheerfully without grudging. There is not one shred of evidence to support tithing in the New Testament.

As I have researched and gone back into scripture; tithing was never instituted to maintain PHYSICAL buildings. It's funny how we have to all of a sudden pay GOD 10%. However, CHRIST fed 5,000 people then 4,000 without them giving him any money. Strange isn't it? This is why it's so important for us to research and study for ourselves. When we began to study to show ourselves approved; we will find that the MAJORITY of what we've learned in the so-called CHURCH are LIES.

It is easy to deceive someone who can not ask questions directly, this man, just everyone else preaching the payment of tithes and offerings ignore too many other scriptures in order to receive something they are not entitled to.
Maybe one day we can all get together and sit down with the bible and let the word of God speak, so those who still believe this lie can see the truth. Yes it is a sin to pay tithes and offerings to a so called pastor, just like it is a sin to receive it.

Abraham did everything in faith
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit."

Keep what Paul said in mind
"All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them."

You know the funny thing is, if you are going off of Malachi to justify tithing, you have to go back to Leviticus to understand that there was more than one tithe (10th). There were several tithes. And it wasn't just a tenth of your gross income. So people are teaching tithing standards incorrectly

I think that a righteous person would tithe and support a true ministry and pastor naturally because it was in their heart. Abel was faithful and gave to God an appropriate offering. Abraham tithed. If you read Hebrews 11 you see that what they had in common was they righteous by faith. Their hearts were right. They had the law in their hearts naturally (Jeremiah 31) before the tables of stone. If love and faith were taught as righteousness and not money, people would naturally want 2 give
