Have you ever wondered if the "Church", is really supposed to be paying "TITHES?" The Lord, has anointed me for such a time as this in order to bring this awesome revelation to the Body of Christ. In my book entitled Tithes & The Church, you will discover how this Old Testament teaching has found its way into the Church, as a means for those who are using this teaching to obtain and maintain a certain level of living! The Bible says; "You shall now the Truth and the truth shall make you free!" It's time for the Body of Christ, to stop being seduced by doctrines of devils as well as being made to feel that if you don't tithe you will be cursed with a curse! (Tithes And the Church is currently being revised with even more revelation from the Holy Spirit on this touchy topic!) Anointed2write    Report

This is only partial truth. In the New Testament we are actually commended to give more than just 10%. Paul wrote the corinthians church about their giving. He stated that they were good at speaking, knowledge but needed to excel in giving. 2Cor.8:1-15. To teach people not to give at all is false. And to teach people to give whenever they want is false. I pray that your book is exposing the lie of giving just because you want a harvest. Give because you see a need to be met like stated in James. No argument just giving more insight on subject. It's alot of people that are rising up that has been lied to at church or hurt by the church and wants to do away with certain things all together. We need to turn to the word of God and divide the scriptures properly so that hearers won't be ruined. Preaching giving is not wrong it's preaching it out of lack of understanding, ignorance, and a wicked heart. I tell people just don't give when the Spirit lead you to do so and lay up for yourself and gather for yourself and watch what happens. God bless you and peace.    Report

Tithes & The Church, in no way teaches against "Giving"- it exposes the teaching and preaching of paying Tithes- not giving! I wholeheartedly believe in giving; the Holy Spirit would have never given me a book to write for the Body of Christ, that goes against "GIVING!" Also the Apostle Paul, never once mentioned "Tithes" he said; "Let every man give as HE has purposed in his "HEART" so let him give... 2Corinthians 9:7 I just wanted to clear this up as to what Tithes & The Church, is addressing- it's not about giving it's about leaders putting a burden on the people of God through the deceptive teaching of "TITHING". The sole purpose for exposing this teaching is to free the people of God!! I also believe in being led by the Holy Spirit where giving is concerned- all ground is not good ground! To finalize my comments Tithes And The Church, is not about Giving (sowing) it's about Tithing! Anointed2write    Report

God has to still give me full understanding of the old law tithes teaching. I believe the people of God need to give more than 10%, especially if we have to give because now days it's every man for themselves. Peopele are laying up for themselves houses and lands. May the lord continue to speak to you and pour in to your spirit. God bless you!    Report

Mt 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:  I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass;  one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Mt 23:23 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. Now I have quoted two scriptures from the New Testament to prove my point.  One scripture that outright disputes the fact that Jesus came to make the Old Testament null and void.  Any true student of the Word knows that there will be no New Testament without the Old.  As Jesus said in His own words, he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it.  Of course there are some things that were written in the Old Testament that do not carry over to the Old Testament.  To prove my point that tithes was not one of those things eliminated, I quoted Matthew 23:23.  A careful reading of this passage of scripture will show that the people were still paying tithes when Jesus came on the scene.  Jesus did not condemn them for paying tithes, but He condemn them for doing so with the wrong motives.  Now it is true that if people use tithes with the wrong motive then they are in themselves wrong.  The doctrine of paying tithes is not wrong because the Bible doesn't teach that.  You cannot condemn things that are scriptural just because mere men take it and pervert it.  What you should be attacking is what those people are doing and not the doctrine itself.  You will not find anywhere in scripture where the doctrine is eliminated.  People have chosen to teach that just because so many people have misused it.  But I will say as a faithful tithe payer and offering giver that I am blessed and my children are blessed because of it.  I have never gone without anything that I need and those things that I did need, God always made sure that I had them.  If anything, Jesus teaches us to do even more than what was taught in the Old Testament.  Before he ever took anything away, He required more first.  This was to let us know that without accepting Him and all of His teachings, we would never see God.    Report

I'm truly not one to argue the word of God- but the scripture that you have qouated Jesus, was not talking to the "CHURCH" he was talking to the Jewish Nation who were still practicing the Law and all of its many rituals! The Church, does not come into the picture until the book of Acts! If you would take the time to read the Bible from Acts- Revelation there is NO mention of paying tithes where the Church is concerned! Anointed2write    Report

Not to mention that the four gospels shouldn't really be considered part of the new testament.  The bible states that there can not be a testament without the death of a testator.  Our testator is of course Christ.  So the new testament can not begin until after Jesus' death.  Jesus had to preach the Mosaic law because He was living during the Mosaic law since the new covenant could not begin until after He died.  Those who want to preach that tithes was before law therefore we should still do it are not telling you that sacrifices of animals was pre law as well.  So should we still do this as well?  You can't take some of the old law with out using all of it.  Even the Bible tells you that.    Report
