"NO MORE TITHING"

[Brother Love]

LOVE YOUR MONEY, not Christ, huh!  If one LOVES Christ, Christ has BOTH THE MANS WILL & his $$$'s!! Then simple OBEDIENCE FLOWS FROM THE BORN AGAIN one heart!

Yet the 10% is not the only thing that is returned, huh?

I sent all of my money to Oral Roberts, because he didnt want to go to heaven

*******
Sure you did!
We realize that the $ bill's come between many of professed Christians (WHO ARE NOT) & their relationship with Christ.

I sent mine to Benny Hinn

Dear John,

He, who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He, who loses faith, loses all.

I am praying for you.

We give it all to the Lord joyfully, and He blesses us in abundance.

Suzie,
you are a breath of fresh air! Joyfully is correct. Christ gives [the bottom line], "IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" ... JOYFULLY !

Missives endorsing the Robbing of God is a science of these sites, & planet! The lord does not say to not tithe, He say's this do and not leave the other not undone.

But you are right, [IF] Christ had ones heart, then He then could  re/create it, huh? It is not always the rich dude's that are the most offensive, but the cheap professors that have nothing in their pockets to begin with, that try to burry the 'talent' in the earth.

John here: (with added emphasis!)
"... and THEY SHALL SWALLOW DOWN, AND THEY SHALL BE [AS THOUGH THEY HAD *NEVER BEEN]." Obadiah 16's [last ENDING]

Sounds like the 'memory of these 'ones' is ETERNALLY forgotten! Just GONE, huh? By their own free DECISION!

"And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they [SHALL BE ASHES UNDER THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET] ..." Mal. 4:3

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! for ye ARE LIKE  unto whited sepulchres, (?? just to your converts perhaps!) which *INDEED APPEAR BEAUTIFUL OUTWARD, BUT ARE WITHIN FULL OF D-E-A-D men's bones, and of all uncleanness." Matt. 23:27

And why is this in the present/tense case?
"Christ said: ".. IF THEY HEAR NOT MOSES AND THE PROPHETS, [NEITHER WILL THEY BE PERSUADED THOUGH ONE ROSE FROM THE DEAD]". Luke 16:31

Christ did arise from the dead! And, His WORD says:
"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. JUDGEMENT, MERCY, AND FAITH: *THESE YE AUGHT TO HAVE DONE, *AND NOT LEAVE [THE *OTHER UNDONE]". Matt. 23:23

Any *HONEST 10 year old child could understand that verse!!

Mercy & FAITH??? A faith without works of Obedience Saves NO ONE! ".. can faith save him? (you) James 2:14 Your talk, talk, & more talk, is no faith whatsoever! And MERCY?

Verse 20.. But wilt thou know, [O VAIN MAN, *THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS D-E-A-D]". The type of faith that was stated at the beginning of God's word! You do remember the forbidden tree in the midst of the garden FORUM?
God said to eat of it [would] bring DEATH, ETERNAL DEATH! The choice is ours to make.

And the 'serpent' called God a LIAR, 'YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE'. Take your FREEDOM to pick you own fate friends, this birds stuff, or the Masters Everlasting Gospel & Eternal Covenant? But the wrong choice is FATAL!

I believe you should be baptised into the Body of Christ.  It is when we give of ourselves that we truly give.

Since we are no longer under the law, tithing is also dead. Our giving now comes from the heart. BUT who of us has sold everything he has and given to the poor? The degree that i'm attached to my money and security is the degree that i will not give. If I give everything away beofre i'm ready, it will not come from my heart and i will resent it. As God increases my faith, my giving will also increase. It is a process. The more the spirit is in me, the more i will be able to live out of that  rather than for worldy things. I regret that I've still got a long way to go.

[Tamara]

Heidi?
Does it always have to come back to money?  Giving love and support, giving a cheerful smile to a stranger, giving an open sincere prayer with a person who is lost, giving whatever you can afford to the ones who need financial support, giving your own hearfult love to Father, giving Him your Praise that you have been enabled to do these things in order to please Him, helping Him on earth by giving your sincere love because He was Gracious enough to give you love through His suffering and death.
Don't these things come under 'tithing' today?  Study what Jesus told you to give under the Law of Grace.  And pray.

Love you Heidi,
Tamara.

Tamara, we were on the topic of tithing which literally means 10% of financial income. Since a monetary amount is inclusive in the definition of the word "tithe", it is related to money. Of course there are other forms of giving which wouldn't of course, be 10%, which then wouldn't make that a tithe. It is certainly much easier for us to give the things that we're not attached to. As Jesus said, what reward will we get for loving people who love us? It is then much more difficult to give away things that we are attached to. That includes loving our enemies as well as giving away our possessions and/or money. The degree that we can give away the things that are dearest to us is the degree of faith that we have cultivated.  The ones who can turn the other cheek, sell everything they have and give to the poor, basically the ones who give what is the costliest to them are the ones with the deepest faith. I am not there yet.

True Heidi,
But I have seen the Mormon church, the 7th Day Adventist church, the catholic church and many other churches grow fat and rich on people's hard earned money. In today's world...what are we tithing for?  It's the churches and a few others like Benny Hinn etc; which turned me off tithing.
Hoarding up their dollar sign like a god.

Love...Tamara.
