I tithe not because of the law, but because I truly believe Jesus is my Lord of Savior. I tithe to help the poor and spread the work of my God.
Me too!
Then give to charities. The tithe was part of the Jewish law for Jews.
I do thigh,and I sincery hope and pray that the money reachesthe poor and that italso help to bring theWord to people al over the world....Africa,Asia etc.
@@Old-Dog00 whatever action that is not formally condemned or forbidden is authorized. So, tithing (not as a law but as a way to demonstrate your love of God) is okay...
@@jys76 I give my money to those in need. Not to some church so the preacher can live sweet.
Great teaching!! We can never out give God.
Creflo Dollar, for decades taught on tithing. Thanks to God he reread the text in the right context and has now revealed as an anointed teacher of the Word that tithing is not required of a new covenant believer. I wholeheartedly agree with Creflo. I'm all for giving though. Enjoy your teaching on eschatology Tiff.
Hello all
I can't keep away from brother Tiff's sermons since I discovered him last month. We thank God for such preaching. I thought I saw his sermon about " items to remove from your house", have been searching for days in vain . Can someone who finds it pls share . Stay blessed
Jan Markell of Olive Tree ministries has one titled that I believe. Her channel is just Jan Markell, other names are fakes. Hope that helps?
@@sandyjuntunen4088 thank you Sandy. Will check. I've listened to one by another preacher. Was particularly interested to hear Pastor Tiff on it as well, but will surely check the one you referred to as well
where God guides, God provides
I have titled. For the the last 20 years. And he has blessed me beyond what I could have imagined. Bless your holy name. Jesus
. At no time were first-century Christians commanded to pay tithes. The primary purpose of the tithing arrangement under the Law had been to support Israel’s temple and priesthood; consequently the obligation to pay tithes would cease when that Mosaic Law covenant came to an end as fulfilled, through Christ’s death on the torture stake. (Eph 2:15; Col 2:13, 14)
As Christians, they were encouraged to give support to the Christian ministry both by their own ministerial activity and by material contributions. Instead of giving fixed, specified amounts to defray congregational expenses, they were to contribute “according to what a person has,” giving “as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2Co 8:12; 9:7)
I give because of his goodness and grace towards me,so that life will be touched
Hello Tiff thanks for be my Anchor..love from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 ♥️ ❤️
Thanks for the teaching
Yes and Amen! Great teaching as usual!
Thank you Ev. Tiff for the clear explanation. God bless you
We give what we have out of love unto the Lord. We give generously to those in need especially in the body of Christ.
And that's the true religion
You are a God,s send Tiff.Blessings
Thank you for this lesson.
Thank you tiff.
Thank you so much God bless you always Pastor I struggle with this to what I clearly understand it now thank you
Yes thank you Father God in Jesus mighty name Amen. I Love you Lord and praise Your name and give you all the glory Amen.
Yes Amen tiths required is a pragrance offering to our God to honor him tha everything is come from the Lord
Where in the Bible is tithes a fragrance offering to God for the Christian?? I want the Scripture please thanks..
So you think someone has to pay to worship God and owes money for the blood of Jesus
The more i give to the Lord, there is still some balance in the account at the end of the month like the 5 loaves and 2 fish in the Holy Bible
This is a very good teaching. The Jingonist Church will be one where people are encouraged to give according to the love in there hearts and based upon principle.
Thank You Brother Tiff Shuttlesworth for Your teaching on tithing. It's a Hebrew verb of consistency in giving Our tithe.
God has been blessing me ever since He Delivered me from the desires of using drugs 2015, and ever since I've been feeding on God's Word and serving the needing where I myself live. It's strange that God placed me to serve the elderly whom I used to rob for drug in New York city since I was 15 and now I'm 63. Wow 8yrs ago He set me totally free in my unit (apartment) too serve those I used to rob 40yrs ago. Wow. God's Awesome, Good, Faithful, and Omniscient. Thks.
Thank you for the questions and commentary. My responses follow:
Are Christians required to tithe? No. But there's nothing wrong with choosing to do so either. Today's version of tithing earned wages to a "church", or for any form of evangelism, has no biblical precedent so it can't be seen as any biblical act of obedience.
What was tithing? Biblical, systematic (God-required) tithes were taxes that were only submitted as consumable items and were specifically purposed towards the Levitical theocracy, the poor (every 3 years) and for consumption at the festivals (as they occurred). Systematic (God-required) tithes began in Leviticus 27:30 and were facilitated through ceremonial and civil ordinances under Mosaic Law that are now obsolete under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:13).
How did tithing exist "pre-law"? There's no mention of tithing in the bible prior to Genesis 14 and there's no biblical evidence that Abram's one-time submission of war spoils or Jacob's contingent offer to tithe was required by God. Jacob's contingent offer to tithe serves as evidence that systematic (God-required) tithing didn't exist at that time or prior. However, there's historical evidence tithing was a pagan practice even before the bible and during. What Cain and Able submitted were offerings, not tithes. The two are not the same. The "first fruits" were heave offerings, not systematic tithes.
How did tithing exist "post-law"? There's no biblical evidence Jesus required tithing under the New Covenant or any mention that the prior tithing ordinances had been amended to include money as a tithe deliverable. There's also no biblical evidence that Jesus ever tithed, received a tithe or left any instructions on how anyone would do so after his resurrection. In Mathew 23:23 Jesus is chastising the Pharisees while defining legalistic tithing as something less than moral, spiritual issues. The Pharisees were only tithing consumable items as the law required at the time, and this was prior to the New Covenant which rendered the Old Covenant system of atonement and the ceremonial and civil ordinances such a tithing under Mosaic Law, obsolete.
The book of Malachi must be read in context. In Malachi 1:6 and 2:1 the narrative is confined to the Levitical Priests. Only Levites could enter the temple storehouse. The tithe indictments in chapter 3 can not be universally applied either historically or currently and none of those indictments had anything to do with money, although there's ample evidence money existed and wages were earned during those times (Haggai 1:6). The "floodgates of heaven" has nothing to do with money. It's a reference to rain, which would naturally increase crops of produce. Only consumable items were accepted as a biblical, systematic tithe deliverable.
God isn't a mob boss or a slot machine. So no, I can't agree that tithing is intended to release a supernatural favor from God. The Prosperity Gospel is nonsense and it ends up exploiting the very people we should be helping. There's no biblical minimum or limit to what we can give, but we are free to give, not bound to pay.
I'm with you on that
Thank you pastor tiff, ilove so much your teaching all about tithing wholeheartedly.This teaching must always uphold throughout the entire churches worldwide.Until the Lord Return to his church.Frm Loakan,Baguio city philippine.Solomon panao one of your worldwide listener as well.
Amen ! Hallelujah ! Maranatha !
Thanks!
Amazing teaching. I've learned something new again about tithing. Use God's people's money to win the lost and expand the kingdom! thank you Ev Tiff
Thank you brother Tiff for another great lesson. I appreciate this lesson on tithing and Offerings.
I have been BLESSED by God and will make sure that I am a Stewart of tilting, offerings,and charity giving and for that I will be a better Steward of each ..I appreciate the help with this teaching and will make a long time difference to the Kingdom of God .....Thank you for your patience to help me and other's live better to advance the Kingdom of God
Hi Pastor, I came from Romania 24 years ago. I never when tithe,I was in my country. I never knew about tithe. My father-in-law he was a pastor for 50 years and when I got my first paycheck working in the US, he talk to me
About Tithe, I start doing it since then, and it’s not about the 10% for me is the experience that I have with that,and the blessings that God provided for our family!
Blessings to you !
(1st.Cor. 16/2) Tell's us to give as we have prospered. We are not under the Old laws of Noses where they were required to give 10% of what the made.
Thanks pastor.
Thanks.
@@brajendradebbarma5216
Anyone that says we are commanded to give 10% is living under the old laws of Moses. We are not under the old laws. If we were we would have to be stone to death because we sin. We would also have to kill animals to have our sins removed . We are told in the New testament of Christ to give as we have prospered. If we have a lot of money we should give more,we aren't told to give 10% of what we have. Read (1 Cor.16/2) this is the New Testament law we are under now not the 10% law.
@@jamesmcqueen6038 6
Amen
Pastor Tiff, a lot of Christians are afraid to tithe, because of what we see in the Church today. Pastors and preachers are using the name of JESUS CHRIST to enrich them selves especially in America.
And I respond with all respect!
All thanks to God for leading Brother Tiff in this ministry. The Holy Spirit is using him mightily to clarify some challenges that Christians face in understanding the word of God. May God continue to use him to the Glory of God.
Thanks alot Pr. Tiff. May God bless this ministry as it is unto the body of Christ worldwide.
Thanks Pastor Tiff for making it clear on the confusion of Tithing🥰
Actually he really didn't properly address why he thought we owe a money tithe when no scriptures say to do that
@@michaelmerck7576 In those days they don't use money.
@@michaelmerck757657:14
Thank you Tiff. I needed to hear this
Thank you a thousand times for this Kingdom message. It is so clear and inspiring. It really glorifies the Lord's holiness.
Thank you pastor Tiff..God Bless you🥰
I tithe by helping the needy. Churches are to political. My big tithe goes to St. Jules
You don't owe a money tithe but give freely
Amen glory to our God there is no 10% (tithe) Nomas! Our giving 4 thee glory of God so others wilt (might) be Saved, reborn again Spiritually threw Christ Jesus only..... and fed, clothed , sheltered. Our giving can be more or less in thee new covenant, testament.
amen
Thanks for the teaching..does God require us to obey other old testament laws like "observation of the Sabbath"?
NO! The entire Law Covenant with all its regulations was abolished by Christ's death.
(Ephesians 2:15) By means of his flesh he abolished the enmity, the Law of commandments consisting in decrees
(Romans 10:4) For CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.
. “Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law,” Paul said. (Galatians 3:10-14)
Christians are not obligated to tithe, or observe a Sabbath, or drag a cow to the temple for a burnt offering, no matter what a preacher thinks.
Some one made a comment awhile back re tithing. He said do people think they are supposed to tithe again on money that has already been tithed on,say when working & you tithe on their money before anything taken out. So when a person retires & starts drawing social security they think they are supposed to tithe on that again.
It is a commandment and as promise in Malachi it will come to pass even it is in Old Testament and in New it was foretold
Abraham tithed on the spoils, Jacob said to God if you will bless me I will surely give You tith of all, Paul was the apostle to the gentiles, he does not even once teach any Christian to about tithing in fact nor does Peter or anyone else, I had been beaten up in church every time the doors opened about tithing, and when the LORD finally opened my eyes, I stopped tithing according to Malachi 10, and only tithed on the increase and the spoils I finally started prospering. The pastors all drive fancy cars and live in big mantions on the tith, while there are people in their congregations going to bed hungry. Took me a long time to find the truth, but today I'm prospering, and able to help the poor, and then teach them how to come out from under the yoke that pastors place on the flock.
Matt 23:23 is restating the requirement to tithe as per the Mosaic covenant.
Paul was a faithful and zealous Jew who was against Christian and persecuted the church. He was a follower of the law including tithing. But when he was converted he didn’t talk or teach tithing but generous giving. The more you give the more you receive.
We aren't told not to in the Bible, we are told to give as we have prospered, and that doesn't mean 10% of what you make like the were required to under the law Noses. God doesn't need our money anyway but to keep our Church open and pay the Preacher and gather fruit for God we give what we can and that's all God requires.
In mathew 23:23 the law of Moses was still in force, Christ had not yet died and risen.
I haven't tithed for awhile,because the person responsible of the accounting of the tithe money of the church,I personally saw take money from the tithe bowl and stick it her pocket,I reported it and was made to feel and look like a liar and she obviously was instructed to do the accounting in a more private area and now nobody is able to see her,this is the only christen church that I can afford to go to,which probably says a lot in which I am in prayer constantly for wisdom and guidance.
You are under no biblical obligation to pay money to a religious institution, or anywhere else. If your church teaches mandatory tithing, I'd suggest leaving that church.
Any church that is open requires funds to operate. The electricity, water, and heating are not free. Jesus said give unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's, give unto the Lord the things that are the Lord's. You can't outgive the Lord. I have no problem with tithing even in my retirement.
👍❤
I truly appreciate your ministry, thank you Man of God
Blessings Tiff, I have a question about worshipping on Sunday vs Saturday. What does the Bible say about it?
Tithes is NOT for the New Testament Church. If so everything under the law, especially the Sabbath Day is for the the Day of Grace
just read the 2 Cor 9, there is no requirement, give as much as you want to cheerfully
Understand that giving does NOT mean only money. I wish more pastors would point that out instead of having people think the only way to tithe is by giving money.
Thank you Jesus!!! I've come across a comment that have the mind set as myself I was thinking I was selfish I can only give my Tithes only by cash.
I discoved it not only cash but a believer can donate material things in helping out the ministries of the church etc... Why is it the pastors
(Shepherd) stress to his members
(Sheeps) it the money etc...😢😢😊.
Tithing to a large church is risky because it might go to paying off the bill the church owes the bank for building construction instead of going to missionaries or to the homeless ministry or shelter or feeding people etc!
YES THEY ARE ITS IN THE BIBLE GIVE 10% IF YOU INCOME THAT FATHER GOD HAS GIVEN TO YOU. 🙏 🙌 👏
Christians are So in Bondage to a Book. Jesus is Living Water and He Came to Make us Safe and FREE and Love and Peace. Jesus is Within you! From there come your answers. I Give when Jesus prompts me too!
Just do what you feel is right. The only person you will be required to explain it to is GOD.
Jesus did say to tithe so there'd be enough food in the storehouse for everyone. In UK the poor get Universal Credit to pay for food but other Countries don't so these gifts has to go overseas I suppose. We do do Larders/Food banks so that will come from tithes also. I think Yes should tithe. (I used to worry about false preachers etc stealing it using for their own big houses cars private jets holidays)
Hello! Paying tithe was for the Israelites and it was for the poor , fatherless and widows Deuteronomy 26:12 KJV and the only time it turns into money if they had to go far Deuteronomy 14:24&25 KJV
As a believer of the Apostolic Church I was taught to tithe and so I have always been a tither, however, I believe that the Matthew statement is made because both Jesus and the young man are under the law. Paul taught the Gentile church to be a cheerful, generous, not grudgingly giver as we purpose in our hearts. I don't believe that Paul would think that these young believers would automatically know to pay tithes especially because they were Gentile believers not Jewish. I honestly don't believe Paul would miss telling the church something so important, particularly since he was being led by the Spirit. I enjoy Pastor Tiff's teaching, it is always a go to when I study.
The scriptures never told you or anyone else to pay 10 percent of your wages to be a Christian
how about go to the Bible for your self and see the real truth go look uo tithe and tithing you will see it was not money you will see that you never tithe before oe now the tithe has to come from the land of Israel period Jessu never tithe,, Paul peter no record they tithe not everything was a tithe item and they had money it was use for many things like pay the temple tax go study for your self and you will see things you never herd of and you will see the real truth start with this Mal 3 8-11 was never quoted by Jesus Paul Peter and it was never preached the tithe in the law of Moses was not money read Leviticus 27, 30-32 30 “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal
What about the people who barely have enough to cover their own needs and expenses. Does it make me a bad Christian if I don't have any extra to give. Does God look down on me for that reason?
No he doesn’t look down on you. In the book of Acts everyone shared all they had with each other and no one was lacking.
The tithe before the law was not mandatory but offered. It was never demanded. Abraham offered Melshisadek a one off tithe from the spoils of war. Jacob vowed a tithe as part of a deal he made with God. A if you will do this for me then I will do that for you situation.
There is a big problem with "pastors" fleecing the flock and living way above the people
1 tim 6
5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
Tim 1
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,
1 Timothy 3:
1 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;
3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
But what is the whole context WHY the LORD said what HE said in Malachi 3:10?
Hello! Paul taught us to preach without charge 1Corinthians 9:18 KJV 1THESSALONIANS 2:9 KJV 2 Thessalonians 3:8 KJV Paul worked to support the ministry Acts 20:34 KJV
Left, after he began to read from the New Lucifer Translation
If we are New Testament believers. Why we leave out all the Old Testament law and we picked only tithe and bring it to the New Testament law. The bible say if you believe in one part of the law you have to believe the whole law. You can’t believe in one part of the law and leave out the rest of the law. This is the problem with going to Bible School. To many different teachings and we don’t know who is right and who is wrong. At the end of the day they only confused us with their theology. The best Bible School is the Holy Spirit who will teach us and help.
God was pleased with Abel's offering because of his faith (Hebrews 11:4). It's unbiblical when you said it was because of tithing. I've never heard in any sermons saying the tithing reason so Abel's offering was accepted by God. You were the only one telling the reason.
I don't tithe money- wise. I use my hands to make quilts, rugs, knitwear etc to give to worthwhile charities, such as Domestic Violence, the elderly, homeless etc. I do give money to some charities and to the Fellowship I attend It is hard for some pensioners to tithe, these days, there rent, food, etc costs have risen drastically.
To me the Lord loves the cheerful giver, I have given him my life and am now not into legalism. Most giving in churches ihad attended goes towards, rates , paying off the loans etc. etc. . I think God understands the individual ......🤗🙏
The pastor where I attend is a Malachi 3 tithe preacher. We have 250-300 post COVID attendance. His compendium package with pay, expenses, travel, vacation, books, seminars and such and other is about $90 k. He speaks about 40 sermons a year.
I'm not jealous. I'm on SS about $17k a year. Many of the others are about the same.
Does the condemnation of failure to tithe apply to believers whose sin and punishment was laid on Christ ?
It's interesting how tithing as it is practiced today had no biblical precedent. As such, it isn't any act of biblical obedience. All biblical, systematic (required) tithes were delivered as consumable items within Israel and were specifically purposed towards the Levitical theocracy, the poor and for consumption and sharing at the festival(s). Those ordinances are now obsolete.
But nobody is forced to give any set amoint
I tithe in a haphazard way really. I only tithe £8 a month but I buy lots of stuff for Operation Christmas Child and give sometimes food/coffee to the homeless
tithing is meant for the church.the members of the church r the church.that money helps to keep it strong n order to spread the word of God.individually we r commanded to give charity to those we choose to support.
I have nothing against tithing and mean no disrespect but am confused about something. In Matthew 23:23 Jesus has not yet been crucified so when He says to tithe isn't this considered the Old Law at this point?
Yes. Jesus made no mention of tithing after the Old covenant was fulfilled.
Acts 4:12. What is Christs real name? It matters, it really really matters.....
I don’t understand tithes at all. People tell me I don’t have to, but I do tithes, because I believe.
I John 2:3-4 contradicts you.
No they are not required to tithe.
No. But God looks at the percentage of our giving. It is not how much we give, but it is what percentage of our total wealth (not income) we give. Two mites was much more than a tenth.
The “you” in Mal 3 is not us today
But tithes in itself is not money..in
Matthew 23:23..says mint, cummin,
and anise..Jesus and His disciples payed tax not tithes..in the book of Malachi we have tithing and offering..Creflo dollar recently repented of taking tithes..so where is the Scripture for Christian tithing for Prosperity..can anyone give me thanks..
To teach tithing to new testament gentile believers is a heresy and is a method of extorting money. New testament believers only gave ( and gave generously) to meet each other's needs. Acts2v42-47 and Acts4v32-37
Wow greed runs rampant when you start talking about money . I’m shocked at the things I have read of people trying to build a case not to tithe. We are to tithe. And that’s the end of that. You should feel the Holy Spirit telling you what is the right thing to do. How can the church care for its self ? Pay the bills? Pay the pastor?
Pay the missionaries? Buy the supplies? Where do you think that money comes from? Thank you pastor Tiff !!
@@sandraharless5800 Offerings and systematic tithes are two different things. Yes, we should support of churches, ministries, charities, etc. but today's version of "tithing" has no biblical precedent. We are free to give, not bound to pay.
@@markb7067 ,untill they study for themselves and let the Lord enlighten their eyes of understanding they will continue to be bound a mandate that is not required by God but by man.Freely you give and freely you receive.When you are a born again believer you are compelled to give out of Love nothing else.what about those on fix income,and poor themselves and you putting a yoke around their neck for a tenthI know the Lord is not please and they can hardly pay they rent ,buy food and take care of their own needs and you saying they need to pay that ,because you desire the tenth It’s really sad in this hour tell the whole truth .Lord help us all.

@@shirleyjohnson7598 Well said. The Prosperity Gospel exploits the very people we should be helping.
You are doing business , in that money how will you remove the curse , giving tithe to the Church
Jesus said I came not to destroy the law but to fulfil the law. So Jesus when he came is also under the mosaic law. What you mentioned about Jesus telling to the Pharisees about tithing he did not approve nor disapprove it. But what Jesus said about a rich man and a widow how they give their tithing to the church. It is simply saying that when you give , you give it wholehearted that you have to dig deeper on your pocket until it hurts you financially. What is wrong is when the preacher is living in luxury with his or her family while his or her followers are living in poverty. Preachers should imitate Jesus and his disciples how they live their lives while preaching the words of God. If the preachers has millions of dollars in their bank accounts then they are cheating God.
John the Baptist said to give extra clothes and give extra food. No money. Greed is in the church again.
NO but most preachers say yes
Tithing is the subject- that is not Tithing. That is voluntary giving. Deuteronomy 14:22-29 is about Tithing.
Hello! Jesus didn't even have a home Matthew 8:20 KJV
😅You had me until the end you will cause confusion among the local pastors flock you’re under a pastor an umbrella This gentleman might’ve been under the wrong ministry but regardless once it leaves your hands as a giver that’s up to the Man or woman of God to decide it’s easier to judge from the outside than you actually sitting in the place of accountability Such as a local Pastor etc.
How could a couple have only 40 dollars. I don't need a lot of money, but just enough. I could spend 80,000 dollars but I don't need that much. If people would live like Jesus. I believe tithe is giving to someone who needs it.
7:41 you aré reading what Jesús didnot say or teach. P,
Do we tithe 10% on all money we receive in a month?
Biblical, systematic tithes weren't received from earned wages. If you want to tithe you're free to do so however you choose. There's just no biblical mandate to do so.
Yes- biblically 10% of ALL our increase. That's gross pay too. We are also told to give offerings but no set amount, just give from your heart. Jesus did not say don't tithe- he said we should tithe but not leave other important things undone either. That's what Pharisees did, they bragged about their tithes & their praying but had no love or kindness. Hope that helps. ❤
@@markb7067 they were given as whatever their increase was- harvest, animals or income. Then those were currency, but it was commanded, & it was to be firstfruits always. Abraham paid tithes long before the law was ever given. So it's not keeping the law at all. Look up every Scripture yourself if you aren't going to listen to Bro Tiff here!
@@sandyjuntunen4088 Thanks for the feedback. Just so you know, money was traded and wages were earned in biblical times yet money is never required as tithe in the entire Bible. We are invited to be stewards of God’s creation, not of man’s creation. Every biblical, systematic, tithe deliverable is fruits, vegetables, and clean livestock. Lev. 27:30, 32, Num. 18:27, Num. 18:28, Deut 12:17, Deut. 14:22, Deut. 14:23, Deut. 24:21, Deut. 26:12, 2 Chron. 31:5, 2 Chron. 31:6, Neh. 10:37, Neh. 13:5, Mal. 3:10, Matt. 23:23, Luke 11:42.
Also, the first-fruits were heave offerings small enough to place in a small basket. Those weren't systematic tithes either. And Abraham (Abram at the time) submitted a one-time tithe of spoils of war in exchange for wine and bread. There's no biblical evidence he ever "tithed" again or that his submission was required by God.
We're free to give, not bound to pay. Blessings in your giving!
@@markb7067Genesis 28:22: ....Of all that thou givest me, I WILL SURELY GIVE THE TENTH TO THEE.
New testament believers should be led by the spirit and not by the law. Love is better than money. Use your money to help on earth, there is no money in heaven.
If this man is giving 20% that other people are giving to him. I would love to know the total amount he takes in. I do not tithe, I try to give to people who really need it. A person went and got a manicure and a pedicure, then asked me for money. And of of I didn't give it. Just try to do good and don't just throw money away. Remember that everything we have on earth is like trash and rags compared to what GOD has for us in heaven. And if your pastor is riding around in expensive vehicles, tell me who is he trying to out do? My blessings are in heaven. And if I am blessed on earth, share it with the needy.
21:58 … no, tithing was not about “whatever God puts in your hand”…go read Deut and Lev
Yes, Abram’s tithe was one-time…it is the only example we see from Abram’s life.
giving is not the same as tithing. giving is done unto the poor, or as an offering or sacrifice unto the Lord. tithing is not something we "give", as the tithe belongs to the Lord. we do not give unto God what is already His. we return unto Him His tithes
What r u talking about precher,paul did'nt say one thing about the tithe, matter of fact the tithe was a means of an economial structure of a means of living under the law ,farmers would bring in a tenth of their crops,how the pro thithing preachers would justify their position on the tithes they will always say Abraham paid tithes before the law,no thats not the same as a mandate frm God in the law that if one does'nt pay the tithes he would be cursed,Abraham case is he gaved a tenth of the spoils he received from the enemies he had defeated to show his appreciation to God for always providing for him ,he was well aware where his abundance of riches come from,Abraham knew he could'nt out give God,preacher you stated paul was talkimg about a special offering ,that's ok iam with you there,sow generously you'll reap generously , God loves a cheerful giver and other scriptures on giving not one word about the tithes or a curse,Paul knew better because it's well known that we as christians are under a far better covenant,Jesus did away with it once and for all, i use to pay the tithes and got bless for paying it,i did'nt get bless because of the tithe,God did'nt honor the term at all,the blessing came frm my giving to the ministry of The Lord Jesus Christ, seed time harvest,giving in all levels, the poor, supporting prison ministry, etci don't use the term tithe anymore,its offering.
