Ya mean, not worship(tithing)

[Sean]

They teach, tithing is worship...LOL


As the saints march weekly with check in hand and trained to say..."thank you God that I get to(but thinking, I am forced to) give this tithe....LOL





You can train the mouth, but you cant train the brain, unless you WASH it thoroughly!

The world is always interested in any kind of controversy within the church, especially anything involving money. Churches just need to understand that giving IS an integral part of our faith, yet to mandate it by using fear of the wrath of God is wrong, unbiblical, and simply man-made. Yet... all those who are teaching the tithe won't acknowledge the scriptures at all, but simply make emotional appeals, because that is all they have.

Even people, such as UNtraditional who are faithful tithe givers have financial issues.

One shouldn't give to the church in order hoping to avoid any kind of financial difficulty, yet that is the mindset of many who do.

You shouldn't give to the church so you can get a huge tax write-off come tax season - yet many if not most do.

Giving to the Lord out of a heart full of love for Him is the only acceptable offering the Lord receives anyway.

It is a bold faced lie to say all those who are teaching the tithe won't acknowledge the scriptures at all

We do use scriptures when we teach the tithe.
I think you need to be reminded of the commandment that says
"You shall not raise a false witness against your neighbor"

Tithers (meaning those who command tithing for benefit over cursing or Heaven over Hell) do indeed "use scriptures" when they teach tithing. The issue is their using said Scriptures out of their biblical context and misapplying them as they might relate to proper covenantal dispensation.

God wants us to give, and certainly the NT is full of teaching on giving, but please show me since you say you teach out of the NT scriptures... where exactly in the epistles to the NT church that any of the writers explain a 10% tithe?

Romans and Hebrews

There, so stop lying and saying that we do not teach the tithe from scriptures.

It just says that tithing is ended and you teach it contrary
