This was no coincidence but a devine appointment with my Good Shepherd...I thank God for your obedience, Michael...May He continue to bless you with knowledge, wisdom, and understanding in all things...I feel like God's only child right now:)
Hey man these are powerful messages being said through you by God. Do not listen to these other people degrading Christians. Evil is everywhere and the devils main target is the strongest Christians. I apreciate you spreading the word and you have so much potential to change many lives. God Bless.
@VegasMansion I guess you may need to read a little closer. I didn't say you said that. I'm telling you that if a preacher asked for a "tithe" he is a liar for the reasons mentioned below. Again, reread what was said already and do it really slow so you can understand what God means by the tithe. Preachers love to tug at the emotions of their poor flocks to gain the desired effect. So I didn't twist anything. God brings people to knowledge, not the false church.
@markswilson8 2 Thessalonians 3:8-9 " Not because we have not that right, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat." A Pastors job is supposed to be preaching only. Paul made this clear. 1 Corinthians 9:14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel."
@MichaelMelendy Your citations in Scripture were embarrassingly inept. I'm beginning to think you can't read. PDmac has pointed out once again who is to receive the tithe. If any preacher passes the offering plate claiming it is a tithe, unless he's a Levite he is stealing from God.
@MichaelMelendy ??? Where the HELL did that passage say "A Pastards job is supposed to be preaching only??" You are DREAMING!! They are all lazy bums trying to bilk the masses so they only have to work 2 hours a week.
There is NOTHING in Scripture that says some elite few should fleece the masses for saying what the masses perceive as magic words. You are dreaming. And the tithe is CERTAINLY not to be used for such carnal nonsense as Sun-god-day morning entertainment. OPEN YOUR EYES!!
@PDMac60 When God's Men became men of God their priority became God, nothing else mattered more than God. They hated (loved less) their own lives, families, and careers for God. When Jesus died, he told His disciples to take up a bag and a sword. The bag was for offering. And for you to say all "pastards are lazy bums" let's me now I'm wasting my time talking to you, so goodbye. " Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing." Galatians 5:2
@MichaelMelendy OMG! A bag and a sword and "the bag was for offering?" REALLY? You CAN'T be serious!! Or did you mean "a sword and a tin cup?" You HAD to get that from a crackpot preacher with a cherry round nose and big floppy shoes.
Everyone who is circumcised is doomed? Or maybe you have no idea what Paul really means in Galatians?
Since you mock the Instructions of Elohim, keep cross-dressing and having sex with animals (things not prohibited in the NT). I'll keep Torah.
@markswilson8 If the pastor doesn't receive a tithe how is he supposed to feed himself and his family IF god said He's is to LIVE by the gospel?? We're not talking about greedy pastors, just the one's operating within the system and order God wants them to...
@MichaelMelendy I don't think you know what the "gospel" is. If a preacher is preaching on sun-day morning he is not living by the gospel and again is a liar in God's eyes and according to Scripture. See 1 John 2:3-7. What is the gospel according to your preacher? He needs to get a real job.
By the way, Scripture never Commands us to go to "church". Church is a mistranslation of the Greek word "ekklesia" which simply means an assembly of His people. However, Scripture does Command us to keep the Sabbath holy (set apart) and assemble, NOT on the day of the pagan sun god worshipers. Sabbath or "Shabbat" in the Hebrew is a name of a specific day of the week, the 7th day. Again, does God change?
@markswilson8 No God does not change people do. The dispensation of Grace began when God killed an animal (as a substitute for the wages of sin) to cover Adam & Eve. My church is called Ekklesia of Jesus Christ, so I know all about the Ekklesia, and its meaning. It means "The Called out Ones" or ones who are responding to the call. Many are called few are chosen. The job of the church is to be a lighthouse for the world. A constant message of Christ and His return.
@markswilson8 God's grace has been shown from Adam, through Noah, to Jesus, all the way into Him allowing you to wake up this morning to come against me here on youtube. God does command obedience and the renewing of our minds, but it doesn't mean people will do what He says. God said the word of God is made weak by the traditions of men. So men have the power to weaken the word of God by disobeying. He commanded tithes in Malachai yes, your point? Church is between YOU and God, not me.
@MichaelMelendy By "the traditions of man," you can start with Church on Sunday. That practice is NOT in Scripture. Also, people do not "weaken the Word of God by disobeying." Men have not such power to weaken His Word.
People simply condemn themselves by not obeying His Torah.
@PDMac60 There was no church in scripture because Jesus hadn't come yet you idiot. All the scriptures testified of Jesus anyways, hence the reason for church now, so that all His saints may come into the fullness of the Kingdom of God through their knowledge and faith in Jesus, his death and resurrection. Everything in the Old Testament were scriptures, everything in the new testament were letters to THE CHURCH warning them the (Ekklesia) of the impeding dangers of this world!
@MichaelMelendy I see that truth and logic have lowered you to name-calling.
You are still sadly confused that the Greek word "ekklesia" means simply "an assembly."
The NT was to warn of "impeding (sp) dangers in the world?" Like what?? All the NT warns of is "Repent (turn to the Torah), for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
ALL of Scripture is a warning to follow the Torah of Elohim. But Christianity is too steeped in their creeds, paganism, and traditions.
@PDMac60 would you prefer me call you a "fool" than an idiot since fool is in the bible? Jesus said "You are Peter, & upon this rock I will build my church" or Ekklesia. If you understand that our job as Christians is to preach the gospel of Christ, His death, resurrection, & our need to Faith in Him, why are you attempting to keep me from doing what God asked? You are the reason why Christianity has a black eye, because you're attacking your own body part. Ur the fist punching the eye!
@MichaelMelendy Hmmm.. You sure pick and choose which comments you want to address while ignoring the others. And then you don't even address that one. I have shown where ALL of your comments are against Scripture.
FYI. I am NOT a Christian. I don't observe godless pagan holidays such as Xmas, sun-god-day worship, Easter (Ishtar) or give stolen extorted tithes to egostistical false preachers for gaudy buildings and salaries.
Yes Christianity has been infiltrated by doctrines of the men, and ways of the world, but do you regard all of Christianity to only be compiled of believers of these fallacies?
@PDMac60 The power is in God, if His blessings and wisdom come through the hearing of His word, but His word is not heeded, it's useless to man, powerless to him...made WEAK by his disobedience! God is not weak, but His words have little effect if we disobey. It's by obedience in God's Men that God is able to do His great works...an obedience that He orchestrates by renewing our minds & hearts.
@MichaelMelendy Scripture says God's grace or lovingkindness is for those who love Him and keep His Commandments. It has nothing to do with coming against you on You Tube. Scripture instructs us to do what he says. His Word is made weak by the traditions and dogma of the church and the traditions added by the leaders of that day putting the Talmud ahead of the Word of God. The tithe is NOT for any preacher unless he's a Levite.
@markswilson8 Ok. When did God ever say stop giving tithes? He's been asking for tithes since before, during, and after Moses' Law. Read Malachai, the last book of the old covenant, and tell me how God told us to return to Him. If you don't wanna pay your tithes, hey have at it.
@MichaelMelendy You seem awful worried about the money. Are you a preacher or a wanna be? I believe PDMac and I have already told you what the tithe is for and it's NOT for lying pastors to guilt and fleece the members of their churches. By the way, it's NOT Moses' Law. It's the Law (Torah) given through Moses. See Nehemiah 10 and John 1. All God wants from us is obedience to His Torah. Nothing else matters.
@markswilson8 Lastly, If you understand God asked for Tithes, but you believe Church is not needed, WHERE DO YOU PLAN ON PAYING YOUR TITHES? God said Without Faith its IMPOSSIBLE to please him. He then said Faith comes by hearing of the Word (in hebrews). He then said in Romans "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
@MichaelMelendy God doesn't "ask for tithes." He "commands" them in His Torah. The tithe is for taking care of the fatherless, the widow, the stranger among us, and the Levites. That is all. We are NOT to use tithes to build church buildings or gymnasiums, pay preacher salaries, send the youth to mission trips to Disney World, or any such nonsense.
The Greek word for "faith" is pistis. It should be translated as "faithfulness" instead of faith. It means faithfulness to His Torah.
@PDMac60 God doesn't need your tithe, He commands them for our own sake. So that we might not faith in the money but have faith in Him. Like in the old testament, God didn't need to kill a bull for Himself, for the bloodshed was for US, not God. We pay tithes because He commanded it! Whatever that pastor does with the money is up to that pastor. If he wants to go buy toilet paper to wipe his ass, that's perfectly fine. If you're going to a church that's building gymnasiums, good luck w/ that.
@MichaelMelendy You have not read the comments at all. The tithe is ONLY for the widow, the fatherless, and the strangers among us wanting to learn of the ways of the Father (His Torah). It is NOT for churches or preachers!! If they are taking tithes and using it for anything other than it says, they are "stealing."
@MichaelMelendy The tithe is for the widow, fatherless and those among us who are in need in addition to the Levite. If your preacher is passing an offering plate asking for a tithe, he's a LIAR. 1 John 2:3-7. We are to walk as Messiah walked. Did He keep the Sabbath (NOT the day of the sun-god)? Did He eat poison? Did He keep the pagan holidays?
Abraham, father of us all, paid tithe to Melchizedek & Levi paid tithe by being in the loins of Abraham. If Jesus was made a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, and if we being children of faith & children of Abraham, then as our father Abraham paid tithe to Melchizedek, then we as Abraham children should pay tithes to Jesus. This shows that there was tithe paid before the law and after the law through the order of Melchizedek before and after the law & through Aaron during the law.
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are so filled with "Wormwood" and denominational dogma it is so sad. How about John 3:36? Show me in Scripture where there is the term age of dispensation of grace. If that is what your pastor is teaching? He's a liar. Does your preacher take a tithe?
The message of Messiah and God is obedience. So did God change? Hint...NO!
thats nice! :D
