He was infected while on a missions trip to India and life as he knew it was destroyed. I don't usually ask people for money but this is an opportunity for you to support a person in need instead of giving to mega church pastors.
Many mega churches and organizations such as Hillsong teach and insist that they are entitled to ten percent of their congregations income. Every person in their church is instructed to tithe from their income. But its not biblical. People are brought up in church from a very young age believing that they have to tithe. But should Christians tithe? Well, strictly speaking it is impossible for us to tithe today the way that God commanded Israel to tithe because tithes were given to the Levites and tithes could only ever be farm produce from the land of Israel. It always frustrates me when people like Dave Ramsey claim that God will bless you if you tithe to your local church. There were no local church buildings in the New Testament. People like Joel Osteen and Stevan Furtick did not exist. There were no mega church pastors with millions and millions of dollars and there were no mega churches. There were no church buildings at all. People like Micahel Todd, Robert Morris, Creflo Dollar and other false teachers make millions of dollars deceiving simple people into thinking that they need to tithe from their income. These false teachers need to get a good dose of the bible and they need to get saved.
Since being born again I have had a desire to give to my church, the poor and missions I don't think tithing is mandated but joyfully and sacrificially give more than 10%. I don't do this so I will be blessed, I do it because I have been blessed.
You get it.
Dont forget this scripture:
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, *_and not to leave the other undone."_* (Matt 23:23, KJV)"
It is appalling how many supposed Christians preach false doctrines these days.
@@treefellonya they were still under the law then! Until Jesus died on the cross and rose again they were still under the old covenant! And if you notice it was spices, food items not money! Tithes was never money! Study the Bible instead of just listening to what your pastors say
@@kimberlyd7398 You show a fundamental lack of understanding of what money is, just like this UA-camr. Money- Money is a medium for efficient exchange. You may have corn that I cannot or will not grow. I have a skill, such as building a house that you are incapable of. Thus, we trade those things to each other. But, you don't need to carry a bushel of corn, and I don't need to carry a hammer and nails. Our money does the same exchange. I need corn, but not right now, and you need a house, maybe very soon. Or maybe I don't want your corn. I want your neighbors wheat, but he doesn't need a house. Your neighbor wants corn, but you want bananas. All of us by our labor have now a medium of exchange that we can use to buy what we need. It is still trade. It is just done through a uniform medium of exchange that represents what we have that is of value to someone else.
Therefore, we are, in essence, trading your example of spices, food, etc.
Jesus expects us to be self sacrificial. He won't force you, but the Bible says to present your bodies as a living sacrifice. It says to _deny_ yourself and to take up your cross _daily_ or you cannot be His disciple. In other words, you probably should be giving enough that it feels like a real sacrifice, that you are denying what you want in order to help others.
Technically, the NT requires much more of you than the OT!!
@@treefellonya you’re so wrong
I was asked to pray for the tithe. I went up there and said GOD doesnt want your money HE wants your hearts. I was never asked to pray for anything again. 😊. Its crazy how i was never convicted by The Spirit for not giving to the church but I have an overwhelming feeling to give to the hungry and poor. Aint that something. Follow The Holy Ghost and The Word
Wow never asked to pray again. Sounds like a money hungry church
@@stevenowens9363 might just be me but I was asked to pray many times before that but never again lol. I preached a few times and prayed a few times but never again after that to be honest
We do not pay our tithe but we return the tithe.
Amplified Bible
“Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you give a tenth (tithe) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have neglected the weightier [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the [primary] things you ought to have done without neglecting the others.
Same. If you think about it. If they just opened a kitchen to feed the homeless 3 meals a day it would easily be paid for but most churches don't do that and I don't know why. I think just a handful of ppl could give 10% and take care of all of the towns poor but the churches are not built that way which is so strange.
@@billycothran5989 Do you pay in dill and cumin?
You are 100% correct, tithing is not required under new covenant but grace giving.
Yes, I explained this to one of my co-workers .
Deuteronomy 14:23 tithe that you may learn the fear of the Lord.
OMG. Sir you have hit the nail squarely on the head. I have listened to more than 100 teachers and pastors over the years hoping to hear this truth from them but 95% of the time I hear only half truths or outward lies. I discovered this truth after a simple study of the tithe about 30 yrs ago and since then, only about 3% of the teachings I come across mention this very important truth. The tithe under the Mosaic law was a tenth of the increase of the land. The cattle farmers had a slightly different way of measuring their tithe but is was done under the direction of the Lord Himself. In other words, only the owners of inherited land were required to tithe of what the land produced period. Very well done sir. I simply must subscribe to your channel for you are a very rare specimen. Truth means everything. Keep up the good work.
Amen I agree but already knew. This or found out 2 years ago, 😊
I agree, same here… these guys are probably reading a different Bible. Jesus even showed that the widow gave more. New Testament still, give and it will be given back a full measure, pressed down…
I agree. What about dirt poor people who can't even pay their bills? Preachers would say that if they gave their money, it would come back 10 fold. That is a lie that keeps on deceiving. My financial situation never came back 10 fold when I was tithing to the church.
But I have noticed that when I feel an urge to help someone, that's when I noticed the difference in my finances. God never let's me go broke bc I did what He asked of me. I have never gone broke or suffered from helping someone, whether it's financially, physically, or mentally! Praise God! Thank you for this awesome video!
Well said
I believe in giving to pay bills and such and for the needy but never has one of our pastor’s ever did anything like asking for money for seeds of faith or miracle water or you will receive this and that if you give.. I believe in paying your pastor a salary if he is doing what he should be doing and feeding the flock and looking after them.. Every time he goes visit at the hospital, homes does a funeral it cost him even though he may not ask for it he deserves it.. I’m not talking about a huge deal of money either..
And this is why it's so important we do understand and read God's word. Because millions tithe expecting that they will receive according to the verses used to manipulate them by pastors .
Give or don't give. Makes no difference to God. The point of this is that people I. Positions of leadership over God's people, which is a mammoth responsibility are being DECEITful... That's the point to reveal the truth in the word
@@tff8514 yes to many are preaching give, give and give.. Give from the heart is all that matters.. These big churches spending money for planes, millions of dollars on homes and vehicles for the pastor is not what God would want us to do with the money..
If preachers believed it they would be giving more than anyone else
I have been preaching this for years, I am glad it seems to be spreading. It reveals the problem is many people do not study the Bible let alone probably read it.
Praise God! I've preached it for years too.
Your a absolutely correct. You need to study the word.
I think most people that go to church only know the Bible verses they hear from the pulpit, which is seldom the Whole Counsel of God.
Tell this to my lord Jesus .. he stops my finances if I don't tithe and give offerings ... Jesus said give to God what is God's .... Luke 6.38 again he said give .... So I must obey Malachi 3.10 ..... Abraham was not given a direct order until Malachi it was not commanded ... All though Moses was directed to have the people give
@@Jesusiscoming24 Christians are commanded to give what they choose with a joyful heart. I'm sorry but I think you are misunderstanding some of the scripture. Jesus said give Caesar his coin or money with his face on it. What is money to the Almighty Creator? The tithes was essentially the taxes for their theocracy. I pray you find the truth as this old covenant commanded of Israel not new covenant for all.
The Lord loves a cheerful giver..straight from the Heart.
God judges our hearts when it comes too giving. For me personally, im going to share what God told me, You give to your church. I was watching non-stop christian shows. I didnt have the money for everybody. I just started my adult walk with The Lord, and it was very confusing for me. God made it so simple. There was need all over our church, and nobody was asking for help. They were asking God for help. Thats where we Christians come in. This is where God gets too Bless both of you! This is where, you both learn and see The Love of God and His Promises to Believe and Trust what is in our Bible. God stands on that word. We need to trust that word. The bible isnt just full of stories. Its full of miracles! From the beginning to the end. God keeps all His promises. Every single word, God Honors. You put your trust in The Lord, your life will change for the better.

Tithing is biblical
@@willpompe6612
Did you listen to the Video to the end with the guy quoting Biblical references ?
I tithed regularly the entire time I was in the Pentecostal movement and never experienced the promised "blessing" that was supposed to be a result (though that wasn't my primary motivation, either). In fact, during that time my family basically lived a hand-to-mouth existence. When I eventually stopped tithing -- surprise! -- the threatened doom-and-gloom never materialized. Sadly, my mother-in-law still regularly listens to Robert Morris, one of the Pentecostal pastors who teach that not tithing places a curse on a person's finances 🙄. Thanks for spreading this message, Caleb.
Yeah, I immediately noticed an increase of 10% :)
I found a very good video discussing the false teaching of Robert Morris, and how he is hired by many churches in need of money around the country, for the purpose of making the congregations feel guilty if they don't give money. The video had several clips of Morris in various churches preaching the exact same message of "give your money or your cursed". So there is no way you should ever attend a church with that guy around.

@@cassandramagnusson1787 Chris is a fraud and a hypocrite/heretic though too, just fyi... check out Servus Christi's apostasy reports.
G’day Caleb, thanks For this teaching, I think that we should give from our hearts that which we can afford and what the Lord puts upon our hearts. I like to give to my local church but also spread it around to charities that spread the word and also help the poor / prisoners / those generally in need. It should always be because we want to not because we think we must. Most importantly it should be between us and God an no one else need know how much and or to whom it goes. Blessings mate. Mark T.
I agree 100%with you Mark. This is exactly how I give as well. God will even lead me to certain individuals to give a donation. I never understood getting a calculator out to give 10% of my income to Our Heavenly Father. It just doesn’t make sense..it’s like a business. God loves a cheerful heart not out of obligation. I always remember the widow with the mite and Jesus said she gave out of heart and the rest gave out of abundance. Giving is definitely a heart thing not a money issue of how much but it is about how much are you willing to give from your heart of Obedience to Our Father and that is a personal decision.. Good comment Mark 😊👍👊🙌
Thanks for this comment, brother. I feel the same way. God bless you
I agree with you 200 percent
@@tammycovington3288 I am seeking for answers. And this gave me peace. This gave me peace. 😭
I am struggling with my decisions whether to give tithe or not. I decided eventually to give all my clothes to poor people and even neighbours or those people he would put inside my heart.
Also before, I don't think I am tithing because there are times when I have income, I give everything to Him and it makes me very happy. Many people got the benefits of it and I don't see it as tithing but a free heart to give because God has been gracious and loving. 😭
Your giving in to deception, read YOUR BIBLE
this is the most complete honest and brilliant explanation about this sensitive topic
YOU NAILED IT BRO!!!!!!!
Thank you for this teaching and exposing these business men “pastors” who have so many people fooled.
I was giving tithe from I was a child. But I realized that when I need help from the church you have to go through a lot of requirements to get help. I think the church is operating like a business not a church. We as a church should not only feed people crumbs but also assist people who need financial help. Instead of tithing I think you should look around and use that money to help others. Make the pastors get a regular Job and stopping pushing people or guilt tripping people to give tithe and offering and when they are in a situation where now they need assistance there is no help.
I have questioned this for many years and certainly agree, tithing is not commanded of us today. .
Tell this to my lord Jesus .. he stops my finances if I don't tithe and give offerings ... Jesus said give to God what is God's .... Luke 6.38 again he said give .... So I must obey Malachi 3.10 ..... Abraham was not given a direct order until Malachi it was not commanded ... All though Moses was directed to have the people give
@@Jesusiscoming24 Yes, and why was Ananias and Sapphira struck down? Because they lied and what did Peter say too them?
What exactly do you tithe? Do you tithe more than your finances? And if not what right do you have to arbitrarily decide which tithes you will obey and which one's you won't?
That is not true, tithing is all over the bible, if you would read your bible, you would know that
Just because you questioned tithing and agree with false teachings that oppose it, it doesn't make your position biblical. There is a difference between what you believe and what the Bible shows.
Read your Bible, giving is in the BIBLE and New Testament too..
I actually had lymes disease, it was extremely painful. It was on and off for around 2 months, the week before I went into the doctor to get an MRI on my back, it felt like a knife was in my back even when I was laying down. I will definitely donate to your friend, he is in my prayers. God bless
mathew 10:7,8
Carson your a good person,
Made my night seeing someone help this guys friend, especially knowing how bad Lyme disease is
The medical community honored Dr. Burgdorfer’s discovery in 1982 by naming the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. With extensive backgrounds on Lyme patients and the scientific discoveries that ensued, doctors began to use several antibiotics to treat the disease.
I was fired as youth leader, Sunday school teacher, young adults leader and music team as drummer because i wasn't "tithing". I asked who brought the allegation? I was simply told from the "church board". I asked why were they not confronting me personally? Why would they not reveal themselves? Why hide in the secret? Apparently you cant be in leadership when you don't tithe. I asked the pastor to please show me the authority given to them by scripture to do this. He could or would not. Chased like a dog in a dark ally. That congregation soon after split up. What me and a couple of congregants were doing was tithing without our name on the envelope. I felt i had no need to defend my position and the pastor did the same for quite a while. I did not know that he had changed he's position. Being the outcast for many years, you learn a lot about the system that keeps the beast alive. News spread quickly in my province so nobody wanted a "none tither" or people asking biblical questions. So I'm still walking the road but not in the building supporting sense, doing matt28:19. Finding those rejected by the buildings that ask questions. I've found that sadly very few know what scripture actually says and most leadership hide behind the gatekeepers. We must seek out the lost and disciple them. To follow and obey the only shepherd.
So, you allowed one preacher and congregation to turn you away from what the Word says about tithing? Jesus actually said we should tithe. (Matt. 23:23) But it has to come by revelation, like everything else. If you believe it, it will work for you.
@@bluebronx2000You lack knowledge.
Tithe is an obligation, but bible says we are to give without compulsion. Preachers should set people free to give generously from the heart and not lay guilt or manipulate them.
I have studied the Bible for years an am a giver. I have been blessed beyond measure. With what measure you gives he gives Bach to you beyond measure.
most of that time that "back to you you beyond measure" is going to just be in heaven tho dude. not in literal money form here on earth.
@@lucypevensie6284Hmmm. Quick question, does a believer get to live eternal life when he/she dies and goes to heaven or from the moment he/she accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour? 🤔
Neither humans according to the bible can't get into heaven period because you aren't 100 like Christ (it says you must be like Christ not larping and being Christ like)
@@thecoolestofthe834s2That's why we need Jesus and His grace is sufficient.

@----------..........123me. then I must have been doing something wrong all the years I titled and was told it would come back ten fold! No I always thought it was suspicious in my discerning spirit!
@----------..........123me. if you had 10.00 to your name and you had to feed your children with that 10.00. Would you tithe it to the church? Or would you feed your family? It's that simple. God would never curse any human for not tithing. Number one reason is the very scripture that says, for the love of money is the root of ALL evil. Many churches have taken full advantage of this misinterpreted scripture regarding tithing. Also, God says that it is much better to give than to receive. That was referring to what's in your heart. Not tithing money. We are to give our everything for God e.i. Love, kindness, friendship, mental support, food, a job, fixing things for someone and most importantly, prayer.. He doesn't mean every help has to be with money all the time. Bc He knows people take advantage of that all the time.

Luke 14
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just
Thank you so much for this message. I’ve been so confused for 30 years and bought into tithing big time.
You give love, mercy and forgiveness e.t.c
If you're led by the holy spirit to support a person or ministry do so but do not overburden yourself financially!
What Jehovah wants from us is to offer our lives as a living sacrifice!
Wow, you are so spot on. I attended home church for several years, and those were the best services I ever attended. But they auditioned for a pastor, with the intent to start a formal church. Man, these pastors had contracts, car allowances, very strict salary demands, and you either paid their price or it was no deal.
Do you have a job? If you do, do you expect to get paid? It doesn’t say in the New Testament to tithe but if you don’t give to the church, who pays the bills and pay for the pastor? He and his family has to pay electrical, food, gas, and clothing bills. How is he supposed to do that without pay? If he has to get a job to do all that it takes him away from time spent with his parishioners and you all suffer. Also, a good church supports missionaries so all the money doesn’t just go to the pastor but it is used to spread the gospel throughout the world.
The home church setting can be a very good thing. We started as one and have a small congregation now that meets at a different location. You can quickly outgrow a home.
The other guy commenting on your post seems to take exception with your comment regarding the negotiations for a preacher. I have a lot of thoughts on this, but I'll just say that if a preacher is more concerned about vehicle allowances and is not willing to negotiate his salary, then be careful. I am a preacher and I've seen preachers fleece churches. A lot of people out there are preaching or involved in the mission field for nothing more than the money. Maybe they didn't start out that way, but it happens, unfortunately.
But the churches are a mess right now, generally speaking. It's unfortunate and there is plenty of blame to go around. Preachers are very often mistreated and abused by the congregations that pay them, while on the flip side, some preachers want far more than can be paid, or even more than they are worth. In my experience, the church functions great when people actually act like Christians and put the church first. It never works when people decide to put themselves first.
This is probably #1 reason why nonbelievers won't go to church that I been told. They keep saying the church is after their money, and sadly, they are correct because of the popularity of this false doctrine. What is even more sad is that a lot of preachers will defend this false doctrine as a means for the funds to buy for the church expenses rather than to attend to the needs of the poor.
A truth that is hard for so many Christians to receive because they are soo mislead into believing and fearful of the "curse". This is becoming one of my favorite UA-cam channels! Such clear and concise teaching!

Unfortunately there is no biblical basis for what you are doing .
THANK YOU!!!!! The Holy Spirit recently revealed this BIBLICAL truth to me.
I do believe we should give to your local church to pay for building expenses & paying the preacher. House churches are good as well as long as the Word of God is accurately being taught and the teacher is held
accountable. They are hard to find.
Even churches where the pastors preach the Word with accuracy, is hard to find, unfortunately

Yes !!!
Yes you are right, we are told by Jesus to give according to our wages, no amount specified, if you love someone you don't give inferior gifts, it is not the amount of money but the love with all your heart, Jesus commended the widow who gave her mite, everything she had, her all with her heart, I have much testimony in this field and God blessed me everytime I blessed Him and opened doors I never dreamed of and supplied all my needs even in the new relocation
i don't know about paying the pastor but i do believe in helping the church
This is really good teaching and it's a blessing to hear. It's amazing how many things have been distorted by the church but I've found such joy by searching the scriptures for myself. I also came to the same conclusion that the poor and the widow and the needy are the ones we should be giving towards. Great message.
They’ve been distorted because false churches come to their own conclusion. ONE man comes to his own conclusions of the Word and goes off and declares himself a pastor and twist the Bible to their fallible understanding. 2 Peter 1:20 which states: "Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation."
I will say obviously not all are false churches. There is a true church. 1 Timothy 3:15 says "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." I know the true church to be the church who gave us the New Testament. And they do not require a tithe.
"I am a person of means by no means" as the saying goes. I am poor financially, but I have been blessed with spiritual growth, and to me, that is of much more importance than financial gain in this world we live in. I just love studying the Bible and finding out what God wants us to do to please him in this life. Remember, we are here for only a very short time.
I have no problem giving some money to the church. I will make sure my house is taken care of 1st God has put me responsible for my family.
I’m a good steward with my money stay out of debt and I help people in need when I’m able to . God has blessed me beyond measure I trust In God’s word not the manipulation of man. Don’t ever let some pastor con you in the scriptures into feeling guilty. Trust God and His word.
What you sow is what you reap.
Be generous in everything you do with a cheerful heart .
Amen
Amen
Finally someone with Tithing Truth!!! So many throwing $$$ at the feet of men so God can be their bought and paid for genie. 🙄
Yeah, we need to give to the needy instead of these conmen!
If I had a good paying job I wouldn't mind paying tithes but I never had a good paying job it was low income people and I'm not going to eat bologna sandwiches and peanut butter every month so the pastor can have his cake too
@@iThinkBiblically how can a local church survived without financial support from the members?

@@dd06222002Start reading the story from Luke chapter 20:45 - and then proceede to Luke 21! It is one unity, one situation as a whole. Jesus stated the FACT (sad one), not qualifying it as stg how it should be! (Of course IF it is voluntary - just go ahead.) BUT here He speaks against those who "DEVOUR widow's houses", that is the context.
Where does the church get money from?
@@dd06222002 She was a Israelite under the Law. We are not under that covenant of blessing for good or curses for bad. Remember the purpose of the Levitical tithe?

@@dd06222002 Start reading the story from Luke 20:46, that is where it begins!! Jesus is against "devouring of widows'houses". It is not commending the widow as much as it is statement of sad reality! YET she gives. BUT - she was unjustly put in that precarious state. THAT is the POINT.
I've never attended a church that didn't teach tithing. I appreciate your Biblical teaching on the subject. We recently began attending a new church. The pastor did a short teaching on giving which included tithing. Of course he said we are not to give under compulsion, but if you don't tithe God will curse you. That certainly is compulsory. Tithe according to the LAW or be cursed.
Thank you for your Biblical teachings Brother.✝️📖🙏🤍
When the pastor said you should not give under compulsion, that was his token gesture to demonstrate that he's not controlling or manipulative. Isn't it interesting how a guy who's NOT on the hook for OT temple worship or sacrifices wants you to cough up coin as though he is.
Tithing IS unbiblical it was for the Israelites. Jesus gave an instruction of giving, you could give any amount in keeping with your wages, you can give any amount small, middle or large amount. MALACHI is old testament Jesus told us something different in NT. No need to waffle on about everything

The icing on the cake, is being looked down on as I raise a severely disabled child, and trying to make ends meet, and hearing “oh they just work so hard” as if the rest of us don’t. Missionaries can trot in and out of various countries 3-4 times a year w families of 10+on our dime but our family can’t be there when grandparents get sick and die, because the price is too high. We are blessed for sure, but why, are we funding large families to go to India when we can’t see our own family there just 1 time in 11 years, would be nice for my son to see his cousins/grandparents there for the first time. I about made myself sick when I saw my giving tithe receipts. What are we doing?!?
I'm in India at present, and all these pharisee missionaries, which the majority are that come from the West, do is to make the Indian proselytes twofold more the children of hell (Matthew 23:15); they are not bringing them the Gospel of Jesus Christ; no, they are bringing them Western, mainly, American churchianity! Most Indian pastors I have personally met, that are trained and supported by Western missions / organizations are ignorant of the Bible, and dream of becoming Benny Hinn or some other big name American televangelist. Woe to the pharisees; they have made the Church of our Lord Jesus into a den of thieves, worse than in the days of our Lord Jesus, and the apostles!

@@user-lu5uf9it7r yup, now I recognize that honoring him means taking care of those that the church has utterly neglected. 🤷♀️ I recognize that it’s every bit as valid to purchase Bible materials to teach a disabled child as it is to fund fancy dinners for clergy.

Extremely accurate video! NOW after I've been LIED TO by the church for the last 20 years. I'm free of this bondage.
Praise God!!
Many people are in bondage because of this teaching.
@@sion1677Correct. Lack of Bible study breeds ignorance, which is why so many people fall for the tithing lie. Tithing was agricultural, not monetary and has no bearing on the practice of the New Testament church. Every blessing.
@@enterthebruce91 indeed under the new covenant it is about giving cheerfully. Old covenant tithing worked like a business, you give to God and gives to you in return. We now have all the riches which is in Christ Jesus, we live in the Spirit not the flesh. The poor are able to say they are rich not in the material but in the spiritual.
Such good information. No one has ever explained in such depths about tithing like this. Thank you. ❤ Extremely helpful!
It's nothing new. 😉
@@billyjacc You’re right. It isn’t. But this is explained in more detail as I said. That’s the difference.
Wow! I thought I was so alone and here I have found another true brother that is seeking only truth. I'm from Kansas, a state in the US. I will especially look for other videos you are making! Thanks! so much for this video. I have been saying similar for many years and I would imaging that you also as not numbered with the majority. Again thanks for standing for truth!
and i am another. you not alone bro. I had this one out 20 years ago in my fellowship, and had to leave.
The main tithe we learn in the laws of moses, was the family held its tenth of all produce and income and went with it and had a big party in honour of their God, if they had to go a long way they were to sell it and just carry the money, so when they got there they bought good celebratory food and "strong drink" and had their big party. Only every three years did they put it at their gate to be collected for payment to priests and orphans and widows. As they were a theocracy this is obviously govt tax.
That was the way that the law taught in OT.
If our church teaches tithe then why not this biblical method???
even so its a third of ten percent annually if they want us to give to pastor without the party fun.
I became a Christian 51 years ago, one of the first things that I heard was tithing. It seemed to contradict the doctrine of grace, "by grace are you saved, through faith, not by works lest any man should boast." If tithing was required, then our righteousness before God was not imputed, but rather earned. If abstaining from paying a tithe can separate us from God and put us under a curse then Christ did not fulfill the law.
Tell this to my lord Jesus .. he stops my finances if I don't tithe and give offerings ... Jesus said give to God what is God's .... Luke 6.38 again he said give .... So I must obey Malachi 3.10 ..... Abraham was not given a direct order until Malachi it was not commanded ... All though Moses was directed to have the people give
@@Jesusiscoming24 Did you obey the full law of Moses in Deuteronomy 20 as stated in Malachi 4:4? or Do you just pick and choose which verses in the bible?
Tithing did not come by Moses law!
Please learn scripture before making a fool of your self.
It came by Abraham, isaac and Jacob all practice it.
This was 430 year before the law.. lol
I’m telling you western Christianity is watered down.
Exactly! It's Jesus plus nothing else! It took me a long time to accept this after coming out of the prosperity fake gospel. Requiring the tithe (at 10% instead of the 23% by the way) would be similar to requiring circumcision...or any other law outside of the law of Christ. We SHOULD give and take care of the needy. The first time I heard this truth preached in a church I was totally surprised.
I agree with the comments on this page. Did you know that, 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. Here are a few points to consider.
-- Who did God appoint to receive tithes? God said, "And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth [the tithe] in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation (Numbers 18:21-23). In this scripture, God established who receives the tithe (the Levites), and why they received it (they received no inheritance, and they served in the temple). This assignment is exclusive to Levites. A pastor cannot assume this assignment, he has never been scripturally assigned by God to collect tithes, he is not a Levite. In that same sense, only a Levite, never a pastor, could ever serve in a Jewish temple. The church has not replaced the Jewish temple, and pastors have not replaced Levites.
-- People are blessed when they give, not because of Malachi 3, which is based on the Law of Moses, an Old Testament law that has been replaced by Grace under Christ, at the cross. They are blessed because Jesus said, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you" (Luke 6:38). It is this principle of giving and receiving at work, when we give and are blessed. Not the expired law of tithing, which was required of the Jews (never Gentiles), and could only be received by Levite priests because they received no inheritance and were set apart to work fully in the Jewish temple.
-- There is much more to this, such as Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek, Jacob's promise to tithe, the history of when and why the New Testament church tithes (there is actually a date!), and the scriptures that speak to these issues. To be clear, every pastor has a right to collect offerings in support of the ministry; I fully agree with supporting the church financially. But our giving must be godly. It is wrong to require people to tithe, contrary to the scriptures, then say that we live according to the scriptures.
Four biblical truths, regarding tithing:
(1) There is no scripture that authorizes anyone but a Levite to receive tithes.
(2) There is no scripture that authorizes a pastor to receive tithes.
(3) There is no scripture that requires a Gentile to tithe.
(4) There is no scripture that requires the church to tithe.

Excellent teaching. Not only do the mega pastors abuse the tithe, but even the common pastor. It is very frustrating to hear them abuse the scriptures and mix the old wine with the new.
Yes thats very true too!

@@JonathanGrandt .. selfish people don't tithe
@his word delights my heart and I am in love Hello brother, I have sincere question. In the old testament it says that we are cursed with a curse if we don't pay tithe. But in the New Testament the Bible teaches that we were redeemed from the curse of the law. The tithe was commanded under the law. So if we are redeemed from the curse of the law, how can we be cursed if we don't pay the tithe? I ask this believing that God calls us to give cheerfully into our churches which is very different than giving the tithe.
I often give charity spontaneously (food, clothing donations, praying for homeless etc.) and I love to. I was told it's still important that I tithe and I don't exactly count it out, but I'm sure the donations and charity I give are worth way more than 10% spiritually. I currently don't have a church because it's hard to find a biblical Christian church; not to mention many pride themselves in celebrating pagan holidays in their services and have women as "co pastors". They're confusing people, and ELOHIM is not the author of confusion, so I just choose not to go anymore.
smart man
I am tempted to do the same as you, but have kept trying due to hebrews 10:25. How do you address this verse?
Thank you so much dear Brother for your teaching. Blessings abundantly.
Excellent mate! Exactly what the bible actually says. I was deceived until I just did a simple word search and came to the realisation of everything you've said in this video. This is one of the greatest sermons, ever. I've made these points at church, but it messes with alot of people's religion. I've pointed out that Paul worked so as not to be a burden. Well done! We are not under the law!
Truly when brothers study their bible thoroughly you will never make unnecessary doctrinal mistakes. Excellent teaching bro keep up the good work. Rightly dividing the words of truth.
I've had an issue with tithing ever since I moved to Pennsylvania. It seemed morally reprehensible to give money to churches that don't notice me at all. Thank God for the Spirit of Truth!
GIVING IS IF GOD. Jesus even showed that the widow gave more. New Testament still, give and it will be given back a full measure, pressed down…
What people miss about the second tithe, that was for yourself, and your family. Not to be given to others. That was so that your family could celebrate the feasts, and there were two each year, not just one, so it was a tithe twice per year.
*Commenting before watching*
For me, 2 Cor 9:7 erases all doubt.
"Each must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
What my wife do with our alloted giving is split it 50/50 between our church and charity of various types. For the church, we give because we LOVE our church. (Baptist btw)
Yeah cool. I would point out tho that even that passage you referenced is about giving to the poor saints in Jerusalem :)
Sounds like you have a good church too :)
That passage describes the attitude with which a person is supposed to give. It does nothing to obligate the obligation of tithing itself. There's a difference. Learn it.
Well done for helping brother Matt🙏
May God bless you, your family and ministry🙏
"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:35 NKJV"
Amen! Thanks Corinne :)
Our pastor said the other weekend don't give your tithes to people battling in the church. Rather give it to the church and they help the people. And I was not happy with that statement. I already believe tithing is not biblical. This kind of preaching puts people under condemnation. I call it fleecing the sheep.
This is absolutely critical to learn as a western hemisphere Christian , thank you for making this video and spreading the TRUTH.
Thank you very much for detailing the types of tithes and the book of Malachi 3:8-10. Much love and peace ❤🇿🇦
Although no tithe is demanded of the Christian, the New Testament talks about the importance and benefits of giving. We are to give as we are able. Sometimes that means giving more than 10 percent; sometimes that may mean giving less. It all depends on the ability of the Christian and the needs of the body of Christ. Every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom in the matter of participating in tithing and/or how much to give (James 1:5). Above all, offerings should be given with pure motives and an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ. “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).
I always felt giving to the Christians in need was far better than giving to the church, so many neglect the sheep to fill their own pockets.
100% correct. Please refer to Malachi 2:1 as well: this commandment (Malachi 3:10)is for priests! That means he must tithe on receipts for Orphans and widows, instead of buildings!! 2) king Messiah says to Peter feed MY SHEEP! Not dogs, goats or pigs!!! 3) Gal 6:10 ROM 15:26 help Members of Household of faith!! Support disciples who obey Yhwh, not tradition!! Gal 1:10 obey The Creator not the sun day worship pope with his puppits on string pastors!! Maranatha!!
That scripture is for the leaders . They use it to make you feel guilty. Read the entire chapter
Giving should come from a compassionate and loving place. Not from a place of “if you don’t give me your money you’re gonna be punished” place.
I struggled with this because I was caught up in that false gospel of word faith, prosperity gospel for some time. They would teach basically your a thief from god for not presenting your tithe. Than I found out they where charlatans and I’m following the word of God not fables of men.
I am a single mom in need, also I found that I gave money to those who are richer than me. so I ask God, that I am the one who in need, why should I still give? also I am a intercessor, I think I am the one who standing before God like a spiritul realm priest. one day , I heard Jesus told me, keep tithe for your home. I feel so peace in my heart. really admit this teaching about we use tithe and help people in need also celebrate with our family. I think God accept tithe to love his people.
that is what he really mean.
I agree, same here… these guys are probably reading a different Bible. Jesus even showed that the widow gave more. New Testament still, give and it will be given back a full measure, pressed down… don’t follow man, FOLLOW THE BIBLE..
Thank you for sharing this! just noticed the verse quoted around 11:15 mins of the video for Nehiamiah 10:26 it's actually Nehemiah 10:29 in case anyone is searching for it :)
I could be wrong, but when I read about giving, it never mentions money. I feel like it could be money, your time, your talents, your love, etc. Whatever the situation calls for, give to help lessen someone's burden.
Much of what you state is true, as I have also researched these issues for many, many years. But any parishioner who chooses to use a church building rather than their own home or a place of business, etc... ought to help out with the cost of support as they too benefit from the uses of such facilities. I mean, don't you appreciate the comfy chairs, the A/C, the lights or running water in the laboratory, and drinking fountain? How about the work in volved in managing the place (Our church has a part-time custodian), and the hours spent by your pastor preparing a sermon, or office work? It's not like the pastor gets to keep the building if he moves on or passes away. The building really belongs to the community of believers who use it as long as it is still active.
Of course I'm not required to tithe. But I still do because I actually want to.
It’s unbelievable my brother that your way of seeing that tithing and actual “churches buildings “ are not biblical is been the same way I’ve seen it my whole life, but without your perfect biblical support , I tell you again, it’s a shame that I don’t have your videos translated to Spanish. Here in Miami Florida there’s so much need for the brothers and sisters in churches to understand your teachings and hear you out in Spanish , the “church business “ here is a mess.
If some day you could translate your videos in Spanish, I will post them all in my worshiping channel 100% with pleasure.
May God bless you and keep you 🙏
You can turn on the closed captioning in Spanish on UA-cam 🫶🏻
This is the best and clearest teaching I have ever come across. I agree that the home church model is the way to go. I think we’ve become “stuck” in the church model of today. Everyone needs a building to house their programs, sanctuary and offices for staff and whatnot which creates the need for income generation to pay for it.
Thanks mate. A lot of my arguments come from Dr Russel Kelly who did his PHD on tithing.
Well said!! AMEN& AMEN Hope there are many able to help your dear friend. God Bless you and yours

Greetings from uganda africa
My eyes opening wider and wider with each point. Mahn my heart breaks.
I've always felt something is off when we're taught about tithing and how passionately it's taught. And it sounds like sound doctrine - that's what makes it worse.
Thank you for this
Excellent job brother, best analysis I've seen so far! This is a mythical issue that needs to be straightened out because it is deceiving the hordes...
Thank you, Caleb, for helping brother Matt. Honestly, between you both, you guys are literally my favorite UA-cam ministries. Almost coincidencedental that you both live in the same city. Anyway, thank you.

@----------..........123me. So I'm wrong for thanking Caleb for his efforts to help a brother in Christ who has a need to be treated for a debilitating ailment? What's wrong with my comment, dude? Not to mention your lack of understanding of clear biblical teachings. Try reading scripture in the context it's written in. It's called good harmonutics, friend. And if you refuse to even try to understand scripture, in the context, format, and directed and intended audience its ment for, you are just ignorant. And to top it off, your are running around UA-cam, commenting to people in an instigating and provoking way, clearly looking for an argument about non-essential doctrines. Probably should learn to pick and choose your battles a bit better. And to add that you obey a doctrine that you're in error about, yet you don't obey other scriptures like not being quarrelsome, creating decention and divisions, or correcting your opponents with kindness and gentleness (2 Tim. 2:22-26), that would be hypocrisy friend. Remove the log from your own eye first. Please don't comment on other people's comments that literally don't have anything to do with the topic you're looking to argue about. Have a nice day.
Thanx for posting this and doing your research. I tried to tell my cousin that we don't have to tithe but he'd rather follow traditions of men than to study for himself.
Me again I was born again at 50 or 51 yrs old, I am now 82 and i am sooooo greatful abd thankful glory to God. ❤😊
Amen Brother. My church is always having sermons on tithing. I quickly stop giving and left that church
The belief in my opinion has spawned from mega churches and tv ministers. Who tell the unfortunate and poor that if you give 10% you will be rewarded. Pocketing the money for themselves. That is why they are so wealthy. Giving should be 100% from the heart otherwise you will not feel good about it. You should give to your church because you want to help not because you feel like you have to. If I’m in dept my money is not going towards a large church that wealthy higher ups can just pocket my money.
Excellent teaching once again Caleb - and succinctly explained - thank you.

@@Jesusiscoming24 But, we are no longer under the Old Covenant my friend. Today we have a "better covenant." We are certainly called by the Lord Jesus to "give" to the poor and needy, to give our lives to others, to give the gospel to the lost - but not to give a "tenth" of our income to the church.
@@Jesusiscoming24 why are you commenting on everyone’s posts?
My brother, you are absolutely correct in your findings. In my study of the Bible, I have come to the same conclusion. Keep up the good. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you two years ago the lord impressed me to give to widows and give in the same way that jesus gave
I have recently found your channel and you are pretty much backing up to a higher degree all the things that I found iffy in scripture compared to pastors preaching. Tithing, tongues etc. I'm subscribing. Over the last 2-3 months I've decided to put my butt in gear when it comes to Bible study. Not just reading, but study. All different doctrines, all different understandings when there's only one truth. I'm tired of being confused, the Bible is the standard!
Could you (maybe you already have) do a video on end times also? This one is a big ask but I'm sure many also question...
all good. i started this 5 years ago. There is so much you will find it a bit mindblowing.
try The one God report by Bill Schlegal.
you will find many will have a truth, like this tithes one, but will still not be right in another.
Enjoy the journey and dont be surprised or dismayed when church aquaintenances turn on you and label you a heretic
My husband and I are slowly leaving our church because of tithing. Our pastor is really big on tithing and even though it’s not a requirement, those who don’t give at least 10% are looked down on. My husband and I didn’t give much because neither of us felt called to. Recently our pastor started a young adult class (it’s really just me, my husband, and the pastor). He’s put a very big emphasis on tithing and how we need to tithe in order to receive blessings. So my husband and I looked at our church spending records over the past couple months and it’s insane! Our church is very small (25 people average) and we have over 150k in the bank. Of course this made us really mad since whenever there’s a family in our community all the church can scrounge up is $100. I understand the church has expenses but the church isn’t even following their own 10% rule
Get out before the greed really take a hold. We just left a church of nearly 400 people and it's become nothing but a money maker for the pastors and their sons...
Please pray for the Holy spirit guidance before you leave your church and good pastor
@@anthonyoinya9047a pastor that robs the flock is a Pharisee. Maybe you should ask Jesus to fill you with the wisdom.
I just happened to come across this subject, and I am impressed with your knowledge of the scriptures on tithing! So many so called "preachers " today make it all about the money instead of teaching salvation through the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Especially we in Africa what they preaching is only about tithes and offerings.
And how you are an armed robber if you don't give. This is one of the reasons I quit on pentecostalism
Pentecostal churches in Africa are just a mess
From entertaining false teachers, apostles and prophets, prosperity gospel and mystical doctrines
As A person who tends to be realistic, skeptical and critical
I can say pentecostal churches really insulted my insanity and my intelligence at the same time
Then a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins. Jesus teaches the disciples that the woman gave more than the rich. The poor woman, as a widow, would have had no source of income after her husband's death. Therefore the two small copper coins were all she had - and yet she offered them to God.
Jesus did not use this example to require us to offer all we have to God. Jesus only stated that the poor widow gave MORE than anyone else.
God doesn’t force your hand to do anything
@@giggleifuwant2 No. God does not. Actually God loves the cheerful giver. But the televangelists do. They tell us that it is the only way to get to heaven and to be prosperous. They tell us to sow and to scatter.
I ustu go to a church gave my 10% each time even though I was not in a good place when things got hard for me I told the pastor what I was going through and all he had to offer me was prayers
The widow gave all she had. Give or don't give. The house of the Lord will stand.
You are 100% right about this topic. There is, however mention by Paul that those who devote themselves to the Gospel have a right to be supported by those they minister to. But, he also set an example of not exercising that right. He was helped with various needs at different times, but never wanted to be a burden, or for people to think he was in it for the money. Sooo fsr removed from the message that gets pounded into our heads with regularity from so many Christian sources.
Good one! Nice to hear a good solid Aussie teacher. Thank you so much for the clarity. I look forward to hearing more of your content. Blessings in Jesus’ name as you continue to honour Him
I think it's wise to pray about this before settling on a decision, and let that decision be led by the Holy Spirit and the Word. After all, the role of the Holy Spirit is to help us remember and understand scripture. Tithing has been commercialised but I give tithes because the Lord instructed me to. I had these same questions, and going to the Lord in prayer He showed me Malachi 3:10, even after some months i had not given to the Lord, he reminded me of Malachi 3. I rather obey what the Lord has instructed rather than someone on youtube, even if the command from the Lord is my personal test of obedience.
You are correct! Dude I agree with you
Some dude from youtube😂
this dude twisted the scriptures too as if he is 100percent correct and teach according to his liking not the Bible.
In apostolic days believers also gathered in the synagogues until they were evicted. The apostle Paul says that our people must learn to meet urgent needs, and that the wealthy must be willing to share. He also says that we are worst than unbelievers if we do not help the needy in our own families; he teaches that charity starts at home. He warns not to rely on earthly riches which are so uncertain.
Absolutely AWESOME teaching!! Just AWESOME!!!!
I don't call it tithing, I give to support the church and spreading of Gods word. The church has bills to pay just like I do.
But, they do. And that’s the point of this video presentation. Food for thought.
And if the church went back to how it use to be, like in the bible, a church would gather in one's home, where then would the church "building" need your weekly donations? It wouldn't, the church, "building" between you, us, and the needy, where we say, sorry needy man I gave my money to the church, or, I dont need to give to the needy I give to the church, but why? The chuch isn't in need, the needy, the widows and fatherless and motherless need help, the church sits on their money, or uses it to expand itself, does some good works but that wasn't the churchs job, it's our job, you can support your church of course but a pastor can have his own job, use someone's home to meet at, and what money it collects can be put back into the community
I heard this specifically from my old church, that shows their bank statement of how much the church has, that a man walked into our church giving a sob storie, needing help, out of work, can't pay bills, and my pastor said because he didn't belong to our church that he turned him away. I didn't understand how wrong that was then but I remember the bank statement was at 1,000,000$ but he turned the man away. The bible says turn not away them that would ask of you anything. But the church was using that money to expand the building, it's functions, and what do we call that in business? Growing your company.
You should try to home church.
Yes, you can give to your church but freely, paying tithes that's not free giving that's a command your pastor is putting on you tithe was never money in the old testament it was food and everything from your land, not income based. And just think about it they say you don't have to do all the other things in the bible no more like in the old testament you was supposed to keep sabbath days and don't eat pork, then when you bring that up they go ahead and say that's old testament we don't have to keep them laws anymore, but when it comes to tithing oh yeah we got to keep that law though how convenient lol.
May God bless you for taking your time to clarify this matter
Nice to have this video pop up in my feed. Paul being a former Pharisee & a Roman, fashioned the early church's organization after the Roman Empire which was so unlike what Jesus had taught. Something so simple was made so complicated & contrary to the teaching of the person they were supposed to be following. Tithing is yet another area that got twisted & taught incorrectly. Thanks for setting things right.
Giving is from the heart..🎉😊
Thank you for your extensive teaching on this. It's been such a controversy for so many of us!
Amen brother. Love the bit on church buildings and meeting in homes. There are many Christians (who surprisingly enough are pastors and work in churches, go figure), who call those who don't meet in a local church building non-Christians. This is completely unbiblical. I was baptized in a local church and when I applied to become a member, the first question I was asked was how much and how often do I intend to "give" to the church.
Tell this to my lord Jesus .. he stops my finances if I don't tithe and give offerings ... Jesus said give to God what is God's .... Luke 6.38 again he said give .... So I must obey Malachi 3.10 ..... Abraham was not given a direct order until Malachi it was not commanded ... All though Moses was directed to have the people give
My God we have to be careful of what is being taught. Jesus!
Majority of churches are like this. I no longer go to church due to the deception that’s within the building. So many idolize the building, their pastors etc but miss that we as the body of Christ are the church. Jesus doesn’t tell us to go to church every Sunday and sit and listen to a pastor we are to take the church to people meaning to and preach everywhere and anywhere helping people come to Christ. Jesus used open air and street corners to preach the apostles tracked with Jesus and went to people homes to preach. The building is not the church it’s us.
houses of bondage. The spirit of pharisee lives on my friend.

But I see expose videos the makers of them have no anointing they yell but it's not by God's power they accuse but not by the spirit ... As it is written the anointing breaks the yoke of sin it transforms convicts with power ..... And scripture says the word of the lord is alive and active sharper then a doubled sword cutting deep into the bone revealing every thought and motive
I tithe to support my church because I appreciate what they do and I feel that it's a way for me to be disciplined in following the Lord.
I agree with your statement.
We must not be forced to tithe but giving out generosity is genuinely biblical.
In general when you are a giver you will always be blessed even if you unsaved or saved.
I agree. Its an argument ive had for years watching people that need all their wages giving large amounts to church first.
Thank you, Caleb. I am a new Christian only a year old. Would you do a video for new Christians. No one covers this and a video guiding new believers is needed. Where I was so desperate to get it right for God. I have encountered a lot of false teaching, and I feel I am unlearning a lot. I can't be the only one with this need.
Thank you teacher of God. I've learned such alot ever since I've subscribed to your channel. May God elevate you in this area, you're excellent in explaining the Truth in a simple way 👌🙏🙏 love your work❤️
Tell this to my lord Jesus .. he stops my finances if I don't tithe and give offerings ... Jesus said give to God what is God's .... Luke 6.38 again he said give .... So I must obey Malachi 3.10 ..... Abraham was not given a direct order until Malachi it was not commanded ... All though Moses was directed to have the people give
There is no Temple to tithe to, but we still kick in to keep the lights on and help fund the Missionaries
I give to our church, I give cheerfully and I'm blessed because of it.
I came to know these truths in 2010 and have been propagating this from 2010. God has been abundantly, abundantly blessing me from the time I started obeying these truths
Good day brother. You've made a deep and clearer explanation of scripture. I pray that our God sustained your purpose so that more of our brothers and sisters in Christ will be enlightened with your explanation. I will continue subscribing your video so that I will learned more deeper of the scripture. God bless you my brother and keep up the good work.
Blessings brother in Christ, very courageous in sharing about giving according to tha bible. And i recommends your courage in the face of the blinded eyes of believers. And home groups is the best places to gather, where there's no overhead costs, as the saying goes KIS.
Amen. I like to listen and listen again in your message and I realized it makes sense. Most pastors today are engaged in construction of huge church buildings and acquiring more properties so that they can justify their greediness and. extort more money from the members.
