SUPPLEMENTAL: Why you put money into the offering plates of Churches,
and/or
send money to ministries
and TV Preachers
Since the Churches are so focused on "Psychology" nowadays, rather than
preaching the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth, I wanted to take time to tell
you
why you send ministries money, or put money into the offering plates at
your
churches. I know this will seem presumptuous of me, to do this, for how
can
I, a man who doesn't know you, get into your mind and psyche? It's really
easy, because God has shown me why you do it.
First of all, your money means very little to God. And, if so He leads you
to give money, it's your obedience to Him, He's looking for. I mean, God
uses gold as pavement. You think you're little 10% means anything to Him?
No. He requires obedience over sacrifice. To obey is better than
sacrifice.
So, let me reiterate, your money means little to God.
Secondly, and this is going to surprise you, there is NO TITHE in the New
Testament; nor any requirement by Jesus of Nazareth for you to pay any
Tithe. Shocking, right? Yet preachers misrepresent the verse in Malachi
3:10, to extort millions of dollars from you. From what I gather, in the
New
Testament, all church members gave 100% of their monies, and had
everything
common. Not today. How many of you going to churches even know half the
people going to your churches?
So, what was the Tithe for? The Tithe was to sup****t the Priests in the
Temple of God. We have no more Temple, so there is no more Tithe. The
Tithe
got wiped out in 70 A.D., when the Temple was destroyed.
But, the Priests, back then worked for God, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
all year long. They had no homes; no crops, no way to make an income. So,
they lived off the offerings that came into the Temple. They had a
cauldron,
in which they'd boil the meat offerings. Then, they'd put a 3 pronged hook
into that cauldron, and the food that came up, that was their daily
****tion.
It's how they ate, as they served God.
When God had raised up Malachi, the Priests were suffering. They were not
getting their food, mainly, because the Children of Israel and Judah has
apostated to other gods. So, in Malachi 3:10, God was saying to bring the
Tithes into the Temple, so there would be meat in His house; mainly, His
main concern was His priests were famished and needed food. They, the
Children of Israel was off playing the whore with Baal and Asherah.
So, when a so called New Testament Churches, or Television Ministries
tells
you to pay your Tithes, or requires you to pay your Tithes, they are doing
something that Jesus of Nazareth never commanded you to do. Mainly, they
do
this so they can have handsome paychecks; or, if a TV Ministry, they build
million dollar homes with your money, buy aircraft, and live very
sumptuously with the money you have sent them.
Is that to say your Pastor shouldn't be taken care of? No way! Of course
the
local body takes care of the man of God. This is at least a reasonable
service to do. But, for any Church, Denomination, or TV Ministry to
COMMAND
you to pay TITHES, well, not only is this a misrepresentation of
Scripture,
they use your own ignorance for their profit. And, God says in Hosea, that
HIS PEOPLE are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.
So, there is no Tithe, for, there is no TEMPLE to pay the Tithe, and if if
you were required to pay a Tithe, it would go to a Priest; not a TV
Preacher.
So, why do you give money? Well, mainly, there are two reasons you give.
One, you're ignorant of the Bible, and take what that person behind the
Pulpit says as "Gospel." Well, if they are deceiving you, on purpose, then
you have fallen for a lie, and listened to a liar. And this is a sin, for
you, because you have not read God's word, to see what the truth is.
Secondly, you give, cause you think it will build you up "Brownie Points"
to
enter heaven. Well friend, you cannot buy your way into heaven.
God will ask you one thing, upon standing before Him: "Are you washed in
the
Blood of Jesus of Nazareth?" He won't ask you how much you gave to a
church,
or a TV Preacher, though your works will be judged. But, God wants to know
one thing:
Have you been regenerated by faith in the shed Blood of Jesus of Nazareth?
I'm afraid friend, your monies you give, will not gain you favor, nor
entrance into God's kingdom; New Jerusalem. And, if you're dumb enough to
give your money away, to some fraud, or charlatan, only out to make a
dollar, well, I'm afraid you deserve what you get.
It would be better for you, Church member, to buy a homeless person a
meal,
or clothe them, or do something for someone in your local community, than
to
give one thin dime to a Church, or TV Ministry, only out to exploit you,
in
the name of GOD.
And, God has a SPECIAL JUDGMENT waiting for these TV Preachers, and ANY
Preacher who teaches giving, tithing, and prosperity, over salvation by
the
shed Blood of Jesus of Nazareth. You, sir, or miss, can take that to the
bank!
