Tithing is the drug of choice for many churches

Cannot teach one who is firmly seated upon his throne, so I won't try. Onward Christian Soldiers! 2 Peter1 20-21 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. Empirical evidence of Pro’s disregard of Sacred Scripture by a professed Believer and Slave of God! Or is He slave to God? Pro “OPINION” states “This all by itself reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of giving all together, and here is what I mean..” Pro further opinions “To be brief, Tithing is a tax, a compulsory, non optional, mandatory, old testament law. There actually were (here pro goes further into his OWN understanding, a thing also forbidden in scripture see below) a few different types of Tithes in the old testament. Tithing was always on the increase of live stock, food, etc.. It was to support the sacrificial operations of the old testament temple as well as widows and the poor..” The above scripture gives specific relief for errors such as Pro's .. don't guess, Don't Think ... simply DO as God commands, leaving all instructions, and teaching to Him Alone in accordance with scripture. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Where is pro demonstrating compliance with this directive of God? I see NO scripture of a TAX on the tenth given to Melchizedek and there WAS NO LAW! At this point in time! If this tenth WAS a TAX as opinioned by Pro … Tax for what? What of the tenth given by Jacob … Tax too? The problem as previously stated is in the violation of Pro to interpreting wrongly the scripture despite having been WARNED IN SCRIPTURE (2 Peter 1:20-21) of the need “NOT” too! This is violated by almost ALL CHRISTIANS Today! 2 Timothy 2:15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. Well? That don’t happen when you start Guessing Folks. You either KNOW or you DON’T, there IS NO “I THINK” or I BELIEVE in Christian Living! Period! Look it’s so simple: Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. I’ll show you how simple it is. Now look at that statement? You DON’T NEED an interpreter to TELL you that this SAYS, in human layman’s terms … I am God and I do not CARE WHAT you THINK nor BELIEVE! You believe what I TELL YOU to Believe not what YOU WANT to believe! Know how I know this? Matthew, Luke and mark! “Then Jesus told His disciples, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself” How simple does it get! To deny self means to deny self right? I mean MY Thoughts, My Plans, My Beliefs, My wants, My rights … essentially MY ANYTHING! Doesn’t denying MYSELF entail all of the above? Then WHY in the World would I or anyone ATTEMPT to interpret Scripture? Because we are Scholars? Theologians? Does being educated override the Prophets who themselves DID NOT INTERPRET SCRIPTURE! But you know who did? Yeah .. the Pharisees! Whose Slave are You? Romans 6:22 22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. 1 Corinthians 7:22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord's freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ's slave. Do you really need someone telling you that’s NOT exactly what that means? You can’t tell what that means on your own? You don’t put spin on scripture folks. It says it that ends it! Remember? I do not require someone’s interpretation or spin on Gods word! God says right in scripture … if you read my last comments that GOD teaches all of US! God … not commentaries, videos, pastors preachers and the teachers are Gods servants … God is in the lead .. we just need to FOLLOW. ALL questions we ask … we ask GOD! God will answer for His self! That Gods/Christ slave dictates what is and is not acceptable or required with full knowledge that no scripture at any time Mentions the cancellation of the requirement of tithing SPECIFICALLY, but has been assumed by the usurpers of authority, bodes ill, to one professing slave to Christ and dead to self? How then can the dead boast of Right to interpret sacred text … if DEAD? The cemetery is full of dead people, none of which speak, demand right nor complain! But their dead comes the response, and I’m alive? This is WHY you error … WE are alive ONLY in Christ. But Pro and many of you REMAIN ALIVE to self! This is why you are easily mislead! This is why you stray … you still believe what YOU want, and that isn’t what God wants nor thinks Empirical evidence: Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isaiah 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; THIS clearly describes Pro … does it describe you also? Then by all means argue this with God then, not me I am but a slave, of no importance in the World. You must complete your obligation to DIE TO SELF, until you do; you only have a chance at one of TWO positions in the Kingdom of God! Both described without need of interpretations from violators of scripture. 1 Corinthians 3. Saved and reward or Saved ONLY … but this one REQUIRES your having to be saved BY GOING THROUGH the FIRE! But these are neither Sons nor Daughters of God according to Scripture. They are people of God only! The Sons and Daughters ARE DISCIPLES ONLY! Christ placed the REQUIREMENT necessary to BECOME a Son of God! All of you have the RIGHT but only those who complete the dying to self, will achieve it! John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name Behold you HOLD the power to BECOME sons of God … WILL you take it? Or let it pass? Revelation 3:21 To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Luke 22:42 saying, "Father, if You are willing, take away this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done." Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told His disciples, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Luke 9:23 Then Jesus said to all of them, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. Luke 14:27 And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple. The question is clear? Are You a Disciple of Christ? Pro clearly has “NOT” denied himself, but interprets Gods Word to HIS thinking … Do you? IF you do, then Christ Tells you … YOU ARE NOT His Disciple! Only those who OVERCOME as CHRIST overcame shall share HIS THRONE, as He shares in His fathers Throne. If you are not a Disciple? Find the scripture which states YOU will receive Kingship by being OTHER THAN Discipleship? My purpose is to service the people of God, the Followers of God and the Disciples of God. My other duty is to battle the unbeliever the Atheists, which are NOT the same as the unbelievers. And to do so with the equal boldness that Christ and the Apostles did which unfortunately got most of them Killed! How about you? Are you hated for Christ sake by the World? Or are you accepted among the unbelieving as harmless, eccentric perhaps, but not worthy of attention nor concern, as THEY PERISH in their SIN. Or do you inform them of their date with Hell as Ezekiel tells you to do? Is THEIR BLOOD accounted to YOU, when your time comes to stand BEFORE the bema Seat of Christ? Do the Religious of the Day battle you as they do me? Or are you unnoticed? Mark 13:13 Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Are you? NO? … is Christ lying about this hatred or are YOU not doing as your told? John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. Does the World hate you? You may notice my lack of address to pro. This is because I have no interest in discussing his opinions. I serve the Lord alone, and am uninterested in anyone’s opinion, not even my own. Point of fact , if you review all my debates, discussions and such you will see I don’t use “I THINK”, I don’t recommend any Believer of God to use it, because truth be told, what any of us thinks? Is completely pointless as it has no bearing on our purpose. We serve a Risen savior, WITH passion AND Prejudice. God says it That ENDS IT! I have accepted this debate because it’s initiator brought up a subject and He IS WRONG! That ain’t opinion … That’s a Fact! The ERROR? “Tithing is the drug of choice for many churches” “by old testament law and man.” The ANSWER: FALSE The Authority to determine truth or false: The Holy Scriptures ALONE! Rationale: The scriptures do “NOT” anywhere state that TITHING is a Tax nor an OPTION! If you don’t give it are you going to Hell? No, your saved by Grace … God said it That ends it! Will it impact you if you are unfaithful to God in tithes, no doubt but 1 Corinthians 3 makes this clear, the worse that CAN happen to you is that you’ll be the 1 Corinthians 3: 15 Christian … that isn’t obviously the best, but hey your saved, right? You’re not interested in earning rewards … okay? Not me though, God says I have the RIGHT to earn Son ship, and that’s what I’m shooting for, but I’ll be content wherever God puts me.
