Back again after a 6 week + absence. You know this tithe thing gets deeper and deeper and worser the more I study it. Our modern practice of so-called tithing is actually what we would call wage earner tithing, now based on scripture rightly divided, any one(preacher, pastor, evangelist, apostle, prophet etc.)that teaches, preaches, promotes, advocates the practice of wage earner tithing using Malachi 3 as the primary enforcement tool is going straight to hell, God is obligated to send people to hell who teach doctrines of devils and practice witchcraft on Gods people, those who support these damnable tithe teachers are somewhat in trouble too though God in his mercy will probably spare those that do it in ignorance. Wage earner tithe teaching is a love of money(1 Tim 2:10)teaching and one of the major foundations of the false prosperity movement, this teaching must not only be renounced personally but must be renounced publicly and attacked, those that teach it(which just so happens to be 99.99999, % of the church here in the USA)must be soundly rebuked( Titus 1:11-13). Wage earner tithe teaching as taught by most churches makes goats out of Gods people because they end up giving only to there churches( buildings).

Also the origins of the modern day tithe came about 585 A.D, when the real church was bought out around 325 A.D. by the state(constantine etc.)all of the sudden they had these beautiful, elaborate buildings that had to be paid for, guess what they came up with, enforced wage earner tithes, in fact for a few hundred years it was some kind of law that you HAD to ""PAY"" tithes. Most money collected in church offerings today(including tithes) goes to pay for buildings which leads us into a whole other subject as to why the church in the western world is virtually powerless as well as blind.

If it was just a matter of simply withholding or giving money I wouldn't be on this board posting concerning this subject. Adding to God's word is a very serious matter and using Malachi 3 to pronounce curses on the body of christ is most serious, witchcraft and curses are real and the problem here in the states is that many people believe if they don't tithe according to the pastors definition of giving money to some church building/system that there finances will be cursed, the fact that alot of people believe this gives these preachers power(albeit satanic power), and in the US it's nearly impossible to find a church that doesn't teach mandatory wage earner tithing although it varies with each individual pastor as to how it's preached, some are more pushy than others. This teaching has and is ruining peoples relationship with God, it has much deeper impact than simply some preachers defrauding people out of money, any preacher/pastor that uses Malachi 3 on you to push wage earner tithing is working witchcraft on you and when you give to such ministries you become cursed, you are supporting Satan and his programs.

The fact of the matter is this, most preachers pick and choose which parts of the bible they want to suit their agenda, other aspects of the tithing law are left out(giving to the poor), in reality when you give money your not tithing anyway, I will post at a later time the extreme dangers to the body of christ of this so-called tithe teaching with all its ramifications.

I wrote to you all about a month ago about the modern day doctrine of wage earner tithing. Remember people that tithes is food and livestock, only farmers and herdsmen can tithe. In fact there are at least 3 prerequisites to be eligible to tithe. 1. must be farmer or herdsmen 2. must live in Israel 3. there must be Levites to tithe to today. There's more but suffice it to say that tithes is not money or wages, anyone that teaches such is just flat out lieing and we all know where they are going. Some people here in the USA say that a person is going to hell for not tithing and they base it on Malachi 3 by saying that no robber is going to heaven. I'll write again in a little while about this subject. I believe the modern day tithe teaching is one of the most destructive teachings in the body of christ today, I will outline my reasons in my next writing, it is through much meditation, prayer, and fasting, not just study, that I've come up with these reasons, this is way more serious than I've ever imagined it to be when I started studying this about 11 months ago.

First of all in levitical law tithing nobody tithed money. They tithed crops and livestock. What we have going on in most churches today is called the wage earner tithe(this is what is being discussed and debated about on this board) meaning 10% of ones gross income which is totally unscriptural both old and new testament. The modern day wage earner tithe is a 5th century invention which was designed to fleece Gods people in order to pay for fancy BUILDINGS. Anyone(preacher, pastor, five fold ministry gift etc.) that teaches that God requires his people to tithe in order to be blessed, go to heaven etc. is just outright lying or doesn't know any better. Those that do know better and still insist that tithing 10% of ones income is mandatory(you know the Malachi 3 version) are in serious danger of hellfire IMHO. Invoking curses on God's people is a very grave and serious matter and you know that all sorcerers shall have their part in the lake of fire.
