    John 14:15-31
    Jesus said "If ye love me, keep my commandments" and because we have been justified and sanctified by grace, through faith, we can do this.

    I was 5 years of chronic illness. Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation.
    But God did an amazing work. And if he can do this, he can do it in you also. 😇🙏
    I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also.
    *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🙌
    *All things are possible with God*

    Salvation is a free gift. When you believed you were sealed until the day of redemption.
    Jesus died for our sins on the cross , was buried , and rose again on the third day and because of this you are saved.

    Grace should move you to love and live for him... like Paul said the love of Christ compels us... every since I understood the meaning of God's grace and unconditional love which was only 3 days ago I am amazed and speechless at a love so deep and freeing. Knowing I'm loved unconditionally through my mess, through my failures, through good and bad.. forgiven and redeemed by the blood of Jesus.. and the victory i can now walk in through the finished work of the cross as a daughter by the power of the Holy spirit!!! Oh what amazing grace!!!

    She spoke to me with her content on living by a check list. Like this came right on time because I know that between the end of last week until today, I am just starting to stop living that way. Smh it’s true that going your natural pace will increase learning instead of just feeling good because you checked off everything on your list. Ms. Joyce you have no idea. I lived the past 3 years of my life by trying to cram everything on my list, failing to get it all done, and being depressed over it. It’s hard not to though when you feel like you can do almost anything/everything. I thank God that he didn’t allow my spirit to be broken, because at times I felt that I would die without completing everything. But I now know that I’m going to get my patient breakthrough

    I agree. I've been spending a little time m-f studying scripture and listening to you. A little more time for God is a good thing. Did you know that in Ireland...st. Patrick chased off demons with a bell and every year around August 1st people go to a hill barefoot in memory of the event. I guess that is their God time in addition to church. If you ever visit Ireland, you should check that out. I bet the walk is beautiful...all green. Every body needs a little God time. 💖💜💙🕊💙💜💖 and a 💚for Ireland. 🙂

    I believe that tithes and offering is a have to in the Word of God it is still valid today and it's consequences is valid if you don't. The Bible says and I'm paraphrasing, "Will a man Rob God. Yes in tithes and in offering." Everything belongs to Him and all God wants us to do is give 10 percent in tithes and give offering of whatever God lays on your heart.

    The law was never divided into ceremonial and moral. We are completely delivered from the law. The gospel has nothing to do with morality. 😊 Every religion has their own version of morality. The gospel brings life to our deadness . The knowledge of good and evil brings "morality". When Jesus told the Pharisees to repent he was telling them to turn away from establishing righteousness based on all of The commandments of Moses.

  • @dcm7388
    @dcm7388 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Romans 1:17(KJV) 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
    Romans 3:19-23 (KJV) 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    Romans 3:27-28 (KJV) 27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
    Romans 3:31 (KJV) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
    Romans 4:4-8 (KJV) 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
    Romans 6:14 (KJV) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
    Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    Romans 7:6-7 (KJV) 6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter. 7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
    Romans 9:31 (KJV) But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
    Romans 10:3-4 (KJV) 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
    Romans 11:6 (KJV) And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

    What is grace?
    From G5463; graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude): - acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy).
    How do we receive grace? Faith accesses grace!
    Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
    Saved through “Faith” accesses His grace!
    Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

    The grace of God teaches us to walk in righteousness!
    Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men,
    Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
    Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;
    Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
    Tit 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
    So “Faith” is “Not Sinning”! Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world
    What is Sin?
    1Jn 3:4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
    Does a person have TRUTH (JESUS) if they don’t “Keep His Commandments”?
    1Jn 2:4 He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
    Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
    The Law is not about salvation, it's how we show our love to God and others by "Keeping His Commandments"!
    1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.

    “With grace we are no longer under the Ceremonial Law. We no longer have to honor certain days, and feast days, and rules about diet, and material you can wear together and not together, and what you can and can’t eat, and all that stuff.”..
    It’s true that with favor we are no longer under the Ceremonial Law. But none of what she mentioned is under the Ceremonial Law. The Ceremonial Law has do with ceremony, which is why it’s named such. Israel’s ceremonial laws were meant for the ceremonies of the Levite priesthood, often involving offerings and sacrifices to atone for trespasses. Through Yahusha’s death He became the eternal sacrificial Lamb to cleanse us from our trespasses, so ceremonial offerings to atone for trespasses were no longer needed. By His sacrifice He also became our age-long High Priest, nullifying the priesthood (which is why Catholic priests have no spiritual authority regardless of what the Vatican claims, they attempt to deny Yahusha of His unique role as sole mediator to Elohim). This was all signified by the tearing of the temple veil when He died. His sacrifice fulfilled the (ceremonial) Law. It allows us (as long as we believe in Him) to be saved by Elohim’s favor.
    But nowhere in Scripture does it allude to Yahusha’s sacrifice eliminating the need for us to obey the rest of Elohim’s Torah/commands. Favor has nothing to do with these. There are some civil laws which governed society at that time but aren’t feasible in modern society, such as laws regarding livestock and crops. But all other commands we’re still to adhere to..
    Yahuah told us that He created certain animals to be as food while others are not to be eaten, primarily due to toxicity, thus they are called unclean. The animals He forbids us to eat are the rabbit, the pig, seafood (all sea creatures other than fish), flying birds, insects, reptiles, and animals that walk on paws. This command was created to protect us, and we’re to obey it, especially the prohibition of pork which also has spiritual significance. Yahusha’s sacrifice does not allow us to now eat these things which Elohim eternally forbid. Nor does His sacrifice erase His feast days or His Sabbath day, which were also to be eternally (age-long) observed. Their observance was lost when Israel rejected the Torah, falling into idolatry. But they will be celebrated again by the whole earth in the next age.
    Regarding clothing materials.. ‘You are to keep my statutes. Do not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock, sow your fields with two kinds of seed, or put on a garment made of two kinds of material.’ Lev 19:19 The reason for this rule.. Yahuah’s creation was made good and pure from the beginning. After each creation produced during creation week it is noted, ‘And Elohim saw that it was good’. But there were times when different creations became mingled, creating impurity and turning the natural into unnatural. This occurred during Enoch’s time, when the Watchers came to earth and mixed with women, producing nephilim. And with the secrets of heaven that men learned from the fallen Watchers, men began genetically mixing different species of animals together producing chimeras. These new creations were the origins of many of the demigod and monster legends of Ancient Greece (which lived less than 1000 years before the Greek civilization began). ‘They were the powerful men of old, the famous men [the heros/demigods of mythology].’ Gen 6:4 The great flood wasn’t sent because only mankind has become corrupted, but the animal kingdom as well. The whole earth, all of Yahuah’s creation, once pure, had become corrupted with unnatural beings. So He destroyed the earth with water, saving one pure (uncorrupted) couple of every species to repopulate the earth.
    This is happening all over again.. ‘Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man.’ Lk 17:26 That passage has more than one meaning. ‘As you saw the iron mixed with clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will NOT stay together, just as iron does not mix with clay.’ Dan 2:43 Some versions read, ‘As you saw iron mixed with clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men’. Though still being restrained, the beast has returned, and is corrupting Yahuah’s creation again by mixing species creating abominations, which he calls “kingdom marriages”. This is the esoteric/hidden meaning of his mark, the cross (+), 2 intersecting lines, crossbreeding, the genetic fusing of 2 species into one. This process will be complete when God is unrestrained and pours out the abomination that causes desolation, his “spirit”/the “latter rain”/black rain/black goo. This is what he means by “I am doing work inside you, you will be birthing a new [monstrous] creature”. Yahuah’s creation will then once again be corrupted. Therefore He must destroy the earth again, this time will be with fire. Only the separate ones, those who do not take the beast’s mark allowing him to enter them and change them, will remain pure and be saved from the destruction. This is the purpose for this Lev 19:19 statute, His hatred of the corruption of His creation from its pure state, whether with animals, plants, or even by mixing materials. Just like pork is symbolic of the beast, the mixing of materials is symbolic of the wickedness of crossbreeding and corruption of nature.
    “But we have not been set free from the moral law. The 10 commandments are just as valuable today as they were then. I don’t think that we need to sit at home every Sunday and do nothing, but I do think if we don’t have a Sabbath rest on an average of once a week we’re gonna fall apart. We need to have time set apart for God. I don’t do it just one day a week I do it every day.”..
    The first part is very true, we definitely need to abide by the 10 commandments, these were never abolished either. But ‘keeping the Sabbath separate’ is one of them, and this command must be kept as well. ‘For whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them [all] and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.’ Mt 5:19
    ‘Remember the Sabbath, keep it separate (from all other days). Do not do any work on this day. For Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then He rested on the seventh day. Therefore Yahuah blessed the Sabbath (7th) day and declared it separate.’ Ex 20:8-11
    When Yahuah gave us the command to keep the Sabbath in the Old Covenant, He said that it was to be kept forever, as an EVERLASTING COVENANT between Him and us (Israel/His separate ones) (Ex 31:16). And this is reiterated in the New Covenant.. The Sabbath day remains for some, but not for others, those who have turned away from Elohim (Heb 4:6). ‘Therefore, the Sabbath REMAINS for Elohim’s people (the separate ones).’ Heb 4:9
    Guarding His Sabbath is extremely important, one of the most important of all His commandments to us. This day is mentioned throughout the Scriptures. The Sabbath is the sign between Him and us that He set us apart from the rest of the world as His chosen people (Ex 31:13). For six days we can work, but the seventh is our day of rest, separate to Yahuah. ‘Between Me and the children of Israel it is a sign FOREVER.’ Ex 31:16 This is what Yahuah spoke to Moses right before giving Him the two stone tablets of the Witness, written with His own finger.
    And we’re told to remember the day. Sunday is not the Sabbath. Sunday is known in Christianity as ‘the lord’s day’, the lord (which means baal) is their sun god, thus SUNday. The Sabbath is not even Saturday as as 7th day Adventists and other Sabbatarians believe. Saturday is the 7th day of the modern solar calendar, not Elohim’s calendar. The true Sabbath changes days by the month on our calendar. The 7th month of the Scriptural (Elohim’s) calendar begins this Friday, on the Feast of Trumpets. This whole month, the Sabbath begins on Friday at sundown. The following month, beginning Nov. 15th, it begins on Saturday at sundown, and so on.
    And you don’t have to sit at home and do nothing on the Sabbath. You can spend time with family, dine out with friends, even volunteer (Yahusha taught that you’re allowed to do good works on the Sabbath.. Mt 12:12). You’re just suppose to rest as in not do any ordinary work on this day (whether at a job or doing manual labor at home) keeping it separate from all other days, dedicating it to Yahuah. Not doing so violates the 4th commandment. But being that the day does change by the month, it is very difficult in our society to not work on this day, unless you have an on-call job or set your own hours. Yahuah knows this. But still do everything you can to keep from working on this day, even if it means changing professions. Again, you keeping the Sabbath is very important to Him, and your relationship with your Father is far more important than your career. And He looks very favorably on those willing to make big sacrifices for Him. If you have no way out of it and absolutely must work explain that to Him, but still keep it separate from the other days in other ways like fasting or spending the rest of that evening reading Scripture.

      (..continued)
      “Here’s what’s wrong with a list of laws, if you don’t get everything on your list checked off, now you feel condemned or bad about it, then it no longer becomes a list to keep you disciples, it’s your rule of laws that you have to follow every day. You shouldn’t be legalistic, like having to read so many chapters a day, or having to read for so long every day. The Law does not bring joy it brings death.”..
      Again, she’s confusing Elohim’s Torah with the Ceremonial Law. It was the ceremonial laws, which made up most of the Old Covenant laws and were mostly meant for the priests, which were legalistic and needed to be performed by standard or “religious” procedure, not Yahuah’s general statutes, which are very simple to adhere to.
      “A lot of people believe that tithing is under the Law so you no longer need to tithe. I think it’s valid today. I don’t think it’s required, but I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to do it. You reap what you sow. And considering Jesus holds us to a higher standard than the Law.. if they can give 10% under the Law, how much should we be giving under grace? The New Testament uses the word generous, meaning go beyond. Paul said be generous. And he used that term because he was talking to gentiles who didn’t understand the word tithing. He didn’t say 10%, it sounds to me like much more needs to be available to God.”..
      Don’t listen to this, she’s just trying to manipulate people into filling her bank account. We should not be tithing today because for one, much of what is tithed or “sown in seeds” is not going towards spreading the good news but towards luxuries for the pastor or prophet. This is especially true for online tithing, these online ministries are reaping in hundreds, and some even thousands of dollars from viewers for every video they post on TH-cam which costs them nothing to produce. That money’s not going to Elohim, it’s going into the prophet’s wallet. Second, any money that is actually spent on the ministry or church is not spreading the good news of Elohim and the Messiah, but spreading the false doctrines of Jesus. And the final reason you should not tithe is Elohim is able to get His Word out to the world without needing money. With His help I’ve been able to reach, well, a lot of people, just by commenting on videos without spending a dime. And I also plan to launch a website soon with instructions for the separate ones to help prepare the way for the coming of our King and our Elohim. This also will cost almost nothing.
      Other separate ones can do this as well. Use social media, blogs, chat rooms, the internet in general, to spread the good news of Elohim’s coming kingdom. Don’t ask for tithes or seeds or support or anything like that from people though as God and Satan’s servants do. You don’t need money these days with the internet, and especially with the Separate Spirit working through you, not like the apostles did back then who had to travel from town to town to spread the good news. Begin soon though if you haven’t already, the internet won’t be around for too much longer. God wants it taken down as its the means through which he’s being exposed. Also, its elimination will greatly add to the state of chaos he’s trying to generate in the world, out of which his kingdom will rise. This is why Elohim’s final two prophets will not be witnessing online like I am but out in the open. But Yahuah will make sure the internet stays up for now, it’s still being used for His purpose.
      And Paul was not referring to tithes when he said to give generously. He meant giving generously to the poor. THAT is who we should be giving our money to, not to the wealthy. In the Old Covenant Elohim wanted His people to give 10% to Him (tithes). This wasn’t because He needed the money, it was a way for the children of Israel to show their dedication and love to their Elohim, by giving something up for Him. But in the New Covenant Yahusha teaches us that we show this love and dedication to our Father not by tithing but by giving to the poor and hungry. We can do this through NON-profits and community services. THIS is where your money and service should be going, not to the wicked prophets and preachers only to increase their wealth, or to churches to further spread their idolatrous religion.
      Contributing to the wealth of the wicked, helping spread idolatry, or investing in personal blessings, will NOT win you favor with the Master. But helping those in need will. So if you want to be accepted into His kingdom, make sure you are financially or otherwise helping who HE is asking you to help, not who God is asking you to help.
      ‘When the Son of Man comes in His esteem, and all the messengers with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” Then he will say to those on his left, “Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me. For truly, I say to you, as you did not do these things to the least of my brothers, you did not do it to me.” And these people will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’ Mt 25:31-46

    Continuing to use the definition of GRACE given to us by Catholics we will continue to insult Jesus in Luke 2:40 where also in Greek language we see that Jesus was also in needs for the GRACE of God.
    And we have many other verses like 2Peter 3:18 telling us that it is time to ignore the definition of GRACE given to us by Catholics.
    Saying that GRACE is UNmerited favor given to sinners they insult also their mama Mary saying that she is FULL OF GRACE which means FULL OF UNmerited FAVOR.
    But what she did so bad to NOT MERIT God’s favor???.
    Then WHAT IS GRACE if the Bible tells us that the seat of GRACE is in the Holy of Holies inside the heavenly Sanctuary ?.
    WHAT IS GRACE for the repentant who fulfilled already Galatians 2:20 (Rom 12:1) 1John 3:9 1John 5:18) being IDentified in Rev 14:12 being sealed in Rev 7:1-8 Rev 14:1 for the call announced in Rev 14:7 Rev 18:4 ???.
    In Rev 14:7 to FEAR God means to KEEP God’s commandments(Exodus 20) and to KEEP the commandments means TO NOT SIN ANYMORE.
    &So it is clearly that WHEN after all these verses you still continue to call yourself a SINNER you will not be able to see yourself as the angel announced in Rev 14:7 Rev 18:4 warning the world TO SIN NO MORE.
    You cannot call the world to STOP SINNING while you are still sinning...
    God don’t want you as liar in Revelation 14:7 Rev 18:2 where is about calling the world to COME OUT OF SINFUL LIFE…
    That is why EGW says already many times that God’s SEAL will only be placed on the foreheads of those who are already separated from sin and sinners.
    And that's why the sealing in Revelation 7:1-8 will have to be done first so that you will be SEALED in Revelation 14:1 so that in Revelation 14:6-12 Revelation 18 you can start your last missionary work showing the world the character of God revealed in the Law of laws of the Sanctuary given to create sanctuaries(John 2:21 Colos 2:1-3 Colos 1:26,27 1Cor 6:19 1Cor 3:16) for the final TEST mentioned in verses like 2Thes 2:2,4 Rev 12:17 Rev 13:15 Matt 24:9 Luke 17:37 etc.
    EGW is continue saying : From eternal ages it was God’s purpose that every created being, from the bright and holy seraph to man, should be a temple for the indwelling of the Creator - {DA 161.1}.

    The ten commandments where given to the Israelites (nobody else!) and are part of the Old Covenant. The two main commandments to love and respect God with all your heart, mind and understanding and one's fellow man as oneself, under these is enclosed the whole law (so also the moral law) and the prophets. In the new testament there were quarrels between Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians about the circumcision. The circumcision is together with the sabbaths law the testing laws for the Israelites of the Old Covenant, which enclosed the 10 commandments. Jesus used parts of these to enhance the moral law, but at His death fullfilled the law. Godly Love means automatically to keep the moral law. The Gentile Christians were told not to follow the Old Covenant, but just not eat the meats that were suffocated (accidentaly killed) and blood.The main commandments are obviously for all Christians, but not any of the laws like sabbaths, tithing, etc., etc... We were taught to be good to each other, (not frugal either), welcoming, forgiving. In other words let the fruit of the spirit flow.

Many people depend on your teachings, kindly be diligent to at least verify your stand concerning the 10 commandments. What is found in the Law of Moses that is not found sufficiently in the Holy Spirit? Does He help us keep the Law of Moses or the Law of Christ which is faith and perfect liberty APART from the Law? Revise on the matter beloved.

    You are teaching the law madam! You are enslaving your followers more to the law yet "Christ is the end of the law" Romans 10:4
    ABOUT TITHING THT YOU MENTIONED. TITHING IS NOT FOR A NEW COVENANT BELIEVER!
    In order for a Christian to return God’s commanded tithe today, that Christian would have to:
    a) be a physical descendant of Jacob. (Leviticus 27:34; Psalms 147:19-20)
    b) be given a portion of the Promised Land by God as an inheritance. (Genesis 28:13-15)
    c) live in the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 6:1-3; 12:1,10-11)
    d) raise crops or breed livestock on that portion of the Promised Land he inherited (Leviticus 27:30-33)
    e) take a tenth part of the crops raised and/or every tenth animal of the livestock to pass under a rod to a physical descendant of the patriarch Levi in the city of Jerusalem. (Leviticus 27:30-33; Numbers 18:24-26; Deuteronomy 12:10-11; Nehemiah 10:37-38)
    f) have a physical descendant of the patriarch Aaron present at the time that one gives his tithe. (Nehemiah 10:37-38)
    g) be unfaithful to Jesus Christ (Romans 7:3-4)
    Any attempt to tithe anything that is not agricultural, is in direct contradiction to God’s word and would not be obeying God in the tithe. Nor would God recognize it as His tithe. (see James 2:10 below)
    Any attempt to tithe to anyone who is not a direct descendant of Levi, is in direct contradiction to God’s word and would not be obeying God in the tithe. Nor would God recognize it as His tithe. (see James 2:10 below)
    Any attempt to tithe in any other geographic location than the Promised Land, is in direct contradiction to God’s word and would not be obeying God in the tithe. Nor would God recognize it as His tithe. (see James 2:10 below)
    James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
    When you tithe, but don't tithe in the manner that God decreed His tithe is to be observed in His word, you are guilty of not tithing at all.
    Monetary tithes were NEVER commanded for, carried to, collected in, or controlled by the New Covenant Church.

    Yes but tithing should be TRULY giving to God.. feed the children orphans animals. I understand if some ministries need help to keep the lights going but they ought to say beyond that none of this money goes in my pocket!! Yes some of these pastors have written books so i suppose that money they can do with what they want.. but greater would be to donate that too to help others. I understand if you need a humble home or want to give good gifts to your children but beyond that and incuring beyond that is not gods way. What we know Jesus said on the matter shows He lived humbly and said it is harder for a rich man to enter heaven then for a camel to go through needle. The prosperity gospel for money is not the way of the LOrd

      I am not meaning its not ok to have a nice house. But to have multiple homes when some have none to have multiple monies when others are starving? it sin. Those who have such excess imagine how bleessed they could be as they help thougsands of people everyday. Nothing wrong with wanting to give good gifts to your children but taking more than you need when others are suffering is a sin
