Tithing Hoax: (Episode 13) "Tithing and the Dumbing Down of Christians"

http://thetithinghoax.com/ - Scripture tells us that God is no longer winking at our ignorance (Acts 17:30). And ignorance comes with a high price. Just ask Evander Holyfield. He "tithed" $20 million to his church and his mansion ended up in foreclosure.

During an ESPN expose on the relationship between professional athletes and prosperity gospel preachers Holyfield was asked this question: If you had to do it over gain would you pay tithes or pay your house note? Holyfield replied that he would pay his tithes because THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

I'm not sure which Bible he was reading but the Bible does not tell Christians to tithe. Unfortunately, there are many Christians like Holyfield that don't know what the Bible really says about tithing.

In some cases, folks just depend on what the preachers says about tithing. The problem with that is that there are preachers who are not telling their congregations the truth about tithes. In effect, their congregations are being dumbed down (or being kept ignorant).

In this video I go in on the practice of dumbing down Christians.

Jesus tells usto give 10%, which is tithing. You can talk until your blue in the face, but until people read God's word for themselves and look to God for an answer they weill never know. i see people trying to tell people about what God says. Just tell them to read for themselves and look to God for and answer. We are suppose to tithe 10%. Blessings from God are Gifts we don't deserve them so looking for a blessing when you tithe is wrong because We are suppse to tithe and look for nothing.

@countrychristianboi You're right on point, however, Jesus didn't tell Christians to tithe. According to the Bible, Jesus was Jewish, therefore, he observed the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law, which commanded the payment of tithes, applied to ancient Israel. The Bible, specifically the New Testament, encourages voluntary, Spirit-led giving - not tithing.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Peace & Blessings!

@countrychristianboi This was from a practice done in the old testiment to give 10% of your earnings to the POOR and less fortunate. Now, good luck finding a Christian conservative to saying THAT in public. "No, don't give it to me, give it to the poor". Most people are just paying for an exhuberant lifestyle for a preacher. Thithng should be done with wisdom.

@YourTitheExpert Abraham tithed. If I remember my Bible correctly, he was the ancestor of both Moses and Jesus. I'm the Dumb Expert, by the way, and I know dumb when I see it.......

@countrychristianboi

Where did Jesus say to give 10%? And 10% of what? Jesus Himself never paid a tithe! Why would he? The tithe was on produce of the land - crops & animals! But not wood! Jesus was a carpenter; He was not subject to the tithe! The tithe was not on fish either. Four of Jesus' disciples were fishermen. They were not subject to the tithe! If Jesus and his disciples (Jews living in the 1st century) never paid a tithe, then why would a gentile Christian in the 21st century?

@YourTitheExpert thank God for the truth , it sets free .God gave me this understanding years ago, all you need in u.s.a. is a mailing list and youre a made man or woman.. try teaching the lie of the tithe in third world nations that dont have the economic infrastructure and see how sucessfull you ll be.

We worship GOD in spirit and truth( John 4: 23-24), NOT in the worldly god "mammon" (Matthews 6: 24).

[MrLawrence7777]

Great video sister, two thumbs up, please keep doing this great work of informing people of the TRUTH. Be blessed in our Lord Jesus Christ.

[MrLawrence7777]

@MrLawrence7777 Most people just go to those buildings to see a show and come out with a false since of being saved in the body of CHRIST, they really don't realize that they are actually dening The Son of GOD, because if CHRIST is become of no effect unto them(Galatians 5: 4), that mean they have denied HIM(JESUS CHRIST) in what HE did by dying on the cross for our sins, (NOT DIRECTLY BUT INDIRECTLY) there is nothing that we can do in works or deeds to save ourselves. 1 John 2: 12-29.

[MrLawrence7777]

@YourTitheExpert You are EXACTLY RIGHT......and tithing was only practiced in Jerusalem, because of the Levical preisthood, according to the law(Hebrews 7: 5), but, New Testament christians like you said are encourage to give voluntary(2 Corinthians 9: 7). According to Paul in the book of Galatians, who so ever of you are justified by the law, YOU are FALLEN from GRACE(Galatians 5: 4) that's a dangerous position to be in. But, many to almost EVERY so called church today are religiously tithing
