Interesting. About 5 weeks ago I changed my prayers and attitude about the job He gave me. Instead of complaining like I had been, I started practicing gratitude. I began praying about being a good steward, thanking Him for Mondays, and telling Him everyday how much of a blessing it is to represent Him at work (I do legal work from home- nothing “ministry” related). Ended up getting a promotion I didn’t interview for and a substantial raise two weeks after my attitude adjustment. Haven’t “tithed” in 8 months. 🤷🏾♀️

@@icemanred Exactly. There are actually a lot of Christian pastors who will tell people that they are not commanded to tithe. On the other hand the crooks living in palatial mansions and flying in their private jets will manipulate the people who can least afford it to tithe. They actually tell them to pay their tithes before they pay their rent/mortgage, utility bills or buy food. They emphasize paying the tithe up front. You have to pay on your gross, not net income. After they force people to tithe they start begging for love gifts, alms, offerings, pastor's birthday, first lady's birthday, pastor's anniversary, church's anniversary, and everything else to get money. It's rare these days to hear a sermon about salvation.

@shiningthelightministries

You are absolutly right tithing is not for the church in the New Testament. The New Testament teaches freewill offerings. The Bible even says not to give money that you need (2 Corinthians 9:7). Furthermore, the Apostle Paul did not try to get money from people who did not have it too give, but a year later when they could give he told them to give, not by commandment, but in order to prove their sincere love. He also said that God accepts a person's willingness to give if they could, as if they had given, even though they could not actually give anything at that time. (see 2 Corinthians 8:8-14) God accepts the heart alone, just as much as He accepts the action. In addition, the widows, fatherless, and poor were never required to tithe in the Old Testament either! They actually received tithes once every 3 years (Deuteronomy 26:12). And te tithe was only of crops never money. That is why Jesus and the disciples never tithed. None of them were farmers. You could not tithe on money or even on fish. The tithe was only from the fruit of the ground of the land of Israel. This is why you also never see any thithes being given in Babylon. Many of these preachers are greedy of filthy lucre. The New Testament teaching of stewardship is to church leaders concerning church funds not to indviduals concerning their personal funds (luke 16:1-13). Peter even told Ananias and Saphirah that the money was theirs to do with what they wanted and they just should not have lied about giving all of it. So they were not required to give any of their money. They were only struck dead for lying about how much they gave, trying to decieve people and make themselve look good. (Acts 5:1-11) Also, Pastors are not to become millionaires off of church funds. The Bible says the elders who rule well are only worthy of double honour (the word honour in that verse means money). This puts a cap on the Pastor's salary. Even a good pastor should receive no more than double the cost of living for a family his size to live comfortably in his community. Therefore, if in the Pastor's community the cost of living for a family of his size to live comfortability is $30,000 per year, then the pastor should receive no more than $60,000 per year, no matter how big his church is or how much money is given to the church. And any deacons who rule well should be payed according to the same standard. If the church has a surplus of money then they should distribute it among the needy members of their church first, just like the first church at Jerusalem did, even to the point of paying off members' mortgages, if they just have so much money they don't know what to do with it. God does not want any of His people enslaved to debt, and Christians are commanded to seek to make each other wealthy. (1 Corinthians 10:24) Church leaders have a duty to make sure their congregants are taken care of. They are not to rob the poor and become rich off the ministry.

I learned this about 20 years ago and when I did I was criticized. It’s so bad in many church BUILDINGS and BUSINESSES in my area, that some pastors and/or governing bodies require members to produce their tax info at the end of each year. That way they can ensure a member has paid 10% of their income. One of the mega churches in the area does this faithfully. Once my half sister got sick and was in the hospital and nursing home for almost a year. She almost lost her house that she was almost done paying for. No one from the church was visiting her. No one was helping her navigate her situation with being denied disability. She cannot stand up and required a feeding tube. She did not seem to be in a great mind space, yet she was denied disability as they felt she could still be a TEACHER. She has hired a lawyer…and guess what…no one from church helped her pay the retainer. And she’s been a member of that church for at least 25 years singing in the choir faithfully and paying tithes. And I know this is not an isolated incident.

This is a very generous church that gives liberally in scholarships to students, in gifts to colleges/universities, their surrounding community, and gave a $1 million donation to the African American museum that was built in DC a few years ago. While the video could possibly give off a wrong understanding, I think the larger point was that God honors faithful giving (although I agree it doesn't always manifest in material form and our utmost pursuit should be holiness and Christlikeness).

CONCERNING THE TITHE: what the Word says..... 1. Tithing was NEVER money... it was FOOD (Lev.27:26, 30-33) (Deut. 14:22-23) (Num. 12:44-45) (Neh. 13:5, 9, 12) if the bible calls it food, who changed it to money? 2. It was every year, every 3 yrs or every 7 (Amos 4:4 “every 3 years) (Neh. 10:35 “year by year”) (Deut. 14:22 “year by year”) (Deut.26:12 “every 3 years”) if that's the case, who changed God's word to every Sunday? 3. Tithing was of the law (Lev. 27) to the children of Israel {NOTE} in (Gen 28:20-22) Jacob vowed a vow under a condition "IF" ….. that he (Jacob) made to God that he (jacob) never fulfilled.. Jacob was still a deceiver at this time. Later in (Gen 32:28) Jacob's name was changed to "ISRAEL" ....same ppl who received the LAW to tithe in (Lev 27) .. THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL......makes sense?? LOL 4.The law was satisfied/fulfilled when Christ died. (Gal 3) we don't have to "tithe" anymore just like we don't have to sacrifice sheep.. "FULFILLED" 5. You AREN’T cursed if you don't tithe...you have to read Mal 1 and 2 to understand that in Mal chapter 3.. God is talking to the Levite priests who were not doing their job! 6. You ARE cursed if you DO tithe... because you are KEEPING the law... (Gal 3:12) if you do them, you must live in them... 7. When Abraham tithed, God did NOT command him to do it... (can't use that) and he tithed from spoiled goods… not his own income… and it was 1 time. 8. The church was NEVER the storehouse (2 Chron. 31:1-14) 9. The Levite priest are the ones to bring the tithe to the storehouse (Num. 18:25-32) and (Neh. 10:38) ← The priest were to bring the 10th ot the 10th to the storehouse 10. Who were the tithe for?? read (Num. 18:21-24) (Deut. 10:9) (Deut. 18:1) (Josh.13:33) (Neh.10:38) (Deut. 14:28-29) (Deut. 26:12-14) (2 chron. 31:4) 11. Jesus even recognized the tithe as food and it was LAW.. (Matt. 23:23) Jesus said they should tithe becuz He did NOT die yet and fulfill... THE LAW.... 12. Tithing and giving are totally different... and we SHOULD give...there is NO loophole out of giving... 13. (Heb 7). is ONLY showing how JESUS is after the ORDER of Melchizedek..being a priest forever having no known birth or death date and also having a change in COVENANT... a NEW one.. a BETTER one.. NOT that we should PAY tithes.. He (Jesus) paid it all 14. Last thing....Matt. 22:15-22 Jesus said give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give to God what is God’s…. In the context… Jesus asked whose “IMAGE” is on the coin???? They said “Caesar…. “ So in context… the money belongs to Caesar… whose “IMAGE” is God on??? Let’s go to Genesis 1:26 (Let US make man in OUR own IMAGE) so that means we belong to God… God wants 100% of us… NOT 10% …… we are also heirs and joint heirs with Christ….Rom. 8:17….. everything that we OWN… HE OWNS.. and everything the He owns… we own… there is NO 90/10……… so when the church (NOT ALL CHURCHES) tells us NOT to pay our bills because we MUST give to God 1st [even if we’re struggling] that is wrong… for example…. If your mortgage is due and you have to pay Wells Fargo.. when you get paid, all you have is enough for the mortgage…. If you give God what belongs to Wells Fargo (Caesar)… you’re out of order….... (BONUS) (Deut 14:24,25,26) MOST PASTORS WILL NEVER TEACH OR EVEN SHOW THIS ONE!!!!!!!! you can EAT your tithe..... and this is the ONLY scripture where the tithe is synonymous with money.. and it was UNDER A CONDITION OF "IF"....please read!!!! Also, when churches say you are cursed and that your electric is going to be shut off or your car is going to break down because you didn't tithe.. that is manipulation which is witchcraft.... Ask GOD what to give and how much and who to give too... Prov. 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.... hope this helps someone!

Giving Tithes is a Freewill Personal Decision to Give Sacrifice. But God said to give Sacrifices only in the place God Saintified. But God also said don't give your sacrifices in every place you see. Mainly because every place of Worship is not doing what God wants done with the Tithes. Deuteronomy 12:13 “Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:” King James Version (KJV)

There is no mention of tithing. 6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NIV).

Words are powerful. Years of listening to negative words about being cursed with a curse if one doesn't give 10% of income to God ( church) --brain-washing, fear sets in, and even if a grester understanding or revelation is given, damage is done. Personally, I tithe, yet I make sure I budget my $$.. so I can help someone else with a couple of dollars if needed. I will not give in 9k offerings for this, that and third. I certainly will not try to buy a blessing from God. He can choose or not choose... So far, my Heavely Father had taken care of all my needs, and I believe he shall continue.

And the irony also is that by exploiting this woman's situation, and making a public spectacle of it to make his point about tithing, he's actually disobeying the Lord other commandment about not giving charity to be seen before men: "[1] Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. [2] Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward" (Matt. 6:1-2).

My brother or sister, I think you should leave all buildings called a church: Because for 1, God in JesusChrist build his church upon flesh and blood, humankind, Matthew 16:18; And 2, God, Almighty God told us in 1 Chronicles 17:5, I have not dwelt, remained, or lived, in a house, temple, building, or church, since I brought up Israel (from the house of bondage, or slavery) unto this day; 3, Satan said in his heart in Isaiah 14:12-14, I will acsend into heaven (it's 3 heavens, not where Almighty God is, Satan and his angels can not go back; had to make clear), or go up to heaven, I will exalt(or lift up) my throne above the stars of God (angels or actual stars, I can't tell, but God knows)...... 14, (Satan say), I will send(go up) above the heights of the clouds, (maybe it is actual stars, because Almighty God always put the definition of things, in the scriptures, or the next scripture, or close; I learned this from God himself; when God gave me a Concordance, and caused me to study to show myself approved unto God; and at the same time, I didn't know God would show things that I never knew, even people in the world .....). But Satan said in Verse 14, I will be like the Most High (God). 15, But God said, Yet will you be brought down to hell. My point is that God set up his church in flesh and blood, and Satan set up his church, with mans hands.

You don't have to give, but it works for me and one of my gifts is giving. God did say he would give back to you pressed down and overflowing. And it is true. After many years of giving, I am going from cleaning for little pay homes/buildings, to now having my picture on a Internatinal drug company and dealing with a Bullion dollar overseas drug company and I don't even have a college degree or High school for that matter. I will be opening a home for battered women and children as well as a supply place for churches in need. I hate seeing so many close down but that is going to take a couple more years, but I have seen it in my mind for a few years and will do it. And giving works when you do it because you want to and even if you don't. But obedience is part of it as well. You have to do it over and over till you understand it. It does not happen over-night. Certainly, we should not put anyone off giving if in their heart or God has told them to or you cut off their blessings. Your will be done Lord.

Quite simply, tithing was not taught in the early church. Old Testament Jews were required to tithe as a means to support the priesthood and the Levites.

The other common verses that our church and others use is Acts 2:43-47 and Acts 4:34-35. This gets twisted as a norm for church as it is now, but like you said, there is no command for church goers to do this. They did this because they “were of one heart and soul” and were provided for as needed. We don’t have communes in churches. We aren’t starting under hardship and persecution where they would be shunned from society. We ought to give cheerfully and out of compulsion by the goodness and love of God, not by the compulsion of a guilt pushing sermon or rewording of scripture. We, as congregants, ask for the truth according to God and God’s freely gave to us who may not or don’t deserve it. This is the model of giving and the definition of the gift of grace. Some pastors only see who’s giving or not, some even by name, and hold that against them, indirectly. If your church spends more time on tithing and offerings and less time on communion and Christ, you have an issue.

Most people haven't studied the the Torah, so they don't know the law or it's purpose. Moses revealed what God wanted Israel to know, which was to make them holy and blessed in the land of Canaan. Paul revealed the law was was a schoolmaster to keep them and lead them to Christ. The only thing concerning the law that can apply today is whatever's left of the promises and prophesies to Israel. Salvation has been given to the Jew and Gentile, and the end is revealed in Revelation. Other than that, all we need to live until then is in the NT writings. We can learn some good lessons from the OT, but nothing in it can justify us or save us.

Elijah was sent to a poor Zarephath women to prove what exactly???? This is The spiritual vertebrae and perspective. GOD God is in control of resources and circumstances. I always wondered why didn't Jesus encourage the woman with the little bit she was giving because it was a very little bit to hold what she got....keep that. According to scripture she gave all what she had. And was poor. Financial stability does not work a relationship or work on the LORD.... Giving at the end of the day exercises sacrifice and you realizing that it doesn't belong to you.
