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.

@@kimberlyd7398 You show a fundamental lack of understanding of what money is, just like this KZfaqr. 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!!

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.

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 🙄.

OMG. Sir you have hit the nail squarely on the head.

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.

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.

I always remember the widow with the mite and Jesus said she gave out of heart and the rest gave out of abundance.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

So if we are redeemed from the curse of the law, how can we be cursed if we don't pay the tithe?

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.

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).

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.

@@ken440 ... I know many faithful men of God who deserves a income they are not seeking fame nor fortune .. for they are worthy .. they don't ask for money for prayer ... If they see a member who is poor they do something ... I see the Lord's anointing in them I see good wholesome healthy fruit .. God uses them to cut me to the bone when I sin and comfort me when my heart is broken ... 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

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.

This was my understanding as well. Glad there’s a clearer explanation to expounds on the topic.

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 🙏

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.

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.

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!!

Right 👉 on, there has been so many people I know still believe in tithing and know matter what you say about it, they are so committed to it they can't see reason for not.

I challenged my church leaders about tithing - especially as a measure of income - not being Biblical. I put forth an argument that a better case for tithing from the fair market value of all our possessions would be more Biblical than tithing from income. It was interesting because they actually stopped using the same references to income and tithing from your paycheck that they had made for years. It was an interesting way to challenge it because most pastors and true believers in tithing won't budge (and to be fair - there is a part of me that likes the idea of a standard), but once you competently challenge their mechanism - it makes them stop and think. They may end up completely reverting back to it but it's years later now and I can still tell an enormous difference. The judgmental legalism is mostly gone and it's great...
