poor fallible Paul. Who told him there is purposing in your heart? it is God's property id!ot There is ZERO distinction between freewill and mandatory offering in the NT. Those are 500 years late imports from the OT. Tithing was hard business. This is the ONLY reason the Pharisee who managed to keep the Laws felt like somebody, had to remind God that he did it. I can picture him with a constipated grin, 'I am not like other men'. Made him feel special. A guy doing 22% in tithes feels special. Another doing a paltry 10% is actually a goD.

mbaemeka: Bro, you dropping these rhema like the Holy Spirit downloaded them into you, but I could not do these for them, for I gravely understood Paul as below. [KJV] 1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I found out that spiritual talk with them profiteth little, but I'm glad but a bit worried too you still give them in spirit, maybe for posterity sake though. My worries is in the latter part of what bro Paul, in verse 2 of above, wrote I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. Let's give them in little doses these meat, hence they act as usual, as Paul wrote in veree 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? We know those envious of ministers and call them bad name just to hang them, we know those who spread strife and ask for opinions, ah! We know those who championed divisions among the brethren because they are 'exposing the truth for all' to see. We will keep teaching, till Jesus come, meat and milk sha. We'd pray tyey accept meat. Amen 1 Like |

vooks: To make this your 'hard business' quips to make sense then the MOG that teach on tithes are not as greedy as you claim. Why, because they could have insisted on the 22% as stipulated by the law, yet they settled for a meagre 10%. I can see how we have jumped from explaining Tithes pre-Mosaic to now asking for a distinction between freewill giving and tithes in the NT. Let me just chip in that there are actually 3 covenants in the bible: Abrahamic covenant Mosaic/ Old covenant Christ/New covenant. The one that was ABOLISHED is the OLD or Mosaic one. The Abrahamic one gave birth to the NEW one. So we can draw parallels between those covenants while we do away with the aspects that the NT expressly stated were now unnecessary. Tithing was NEVER termed unnecessary again. I mean the one that Abraham did and he offered 10%. If anyone wants to tithe he MUST give atleast 10%. That's why it is called a tithe. If you believe the contrary then provide one NT verse that lumps freewill offerings and tithes into one. Meanwhile Hebrews 7:7-8. Care to expound? 2 Likes |

Gombs: Hear Hagin on page 88 I've also heard preachers try to hammer Christians by quoting from Malachi chapter 3 saying that they are cursed if they don't pay tithes and give offerings. Obviously, this is not correct. While the people of Malachi's day were under the Law of Moses, the New Testament plainly declares that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law (Gal. 3:13). Who is lying now? You or me? No I don't. Really? You call non tithers robbers, right? Where will a robber end up? Ahn ahn bobo, you didn't answer me na.... Condemnation of tithing in its entirety is a nice confession from you, now my question is, "Can you show me one scripture that condemned tithing in the faintest of senses?" Something cannot stand on nothing. There'll not be need for this particular argument but for your claim that you follow Abraham to tithe (but of course rush to Moses via Malachi to ensure compliance utilizing the fear factor). Now prove Abraham paid tithes on any thing apart from spoils of war. Then we can proceed to establishing whether we need anything condemned before we know it doesn't pertain to us. 2 Likes |
Re: The Midas Touch- A Balanced Approach To Biblical Prosperity - Kenneth Hagin by Gombs(m): 2:40pm On Nov 26, 2014 |
I'm gonna say this once...the Jerusalem council DID NOT cancel the out the necessity of circumcision and tithing. What they did was that they decided that Gentile converts to Christianity were not obligated to keep most of the Law of Moses, including the rules concerning circumcision of males. Now, neither circumcision nor tithing has their inception in the Laws of Moses. And they were not obligated to keep most of the law because certain individuals came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved " . The council was prompt to debunk that. Same as I have been schooling you that circumcision NEVER made one righteous. They never as you claimed said tithing and circumcision were not necessary, they said circumcision was not necessary for righteousness. Abraham was declared righteous by faith even before circumcision. The Council did, however, retain the prohibitions on eating blood, meat containing blood, and meat of animals not properly slain, and on fornication and idolatry, sometimes referred to as the Apostolic Decree orJerusalem Quadrilateral. As you can see from above, the Law was not completely abolished, a fact mba, Joagbaje me, bidam has been teaching here for ages. Goshen360 the confused grace preacher never seem to comprehend this. |

The MoGs teach something totally ALIEN to scriptures; they invoke scriptures that talk about 22% to exact 10% from you and make you believe you have earned protection from the devourer. It is ignorance that makes them do so not absence of greed. It is true there are three covenants ignoring Noah's which was more God-sided. Tithing was no part of the Abrahamic covenant any more than keeping concubines and slaves. These are things done under the covenant not parts of it These are your favorite circular arguments. Tithing was not deemed unnecessary because the Levites and consequently Jewish Christians never demanded the same from Gentiles. Equally, Feasts,child dedication and turtledoves & Nazirite vows & uncleanness of women during their periods were never termed unnecessary because ONLY Jews did these. Jews were bound by these dregs of the Torah probably until 70 AD when the temple was destroyed. This is what I told Gombs is Reductio ad Absurdum. It is absurd to CLING to EVERYTHING that was not deemed unnecessary. How do you explain TOTAL absence of tithing principles invoked when giving exhortations were given? Conjecture: The Jewish Christians and proselytes, do you think they gave their tithes to the Levites or to the apostles? mbaemeka: 2 Likes |

Gombs: You're more confused than I thought The only reason you people still want to teach the Law is FOR GAIN ASPECT. Even your pastor Chris taught that the Law was ABOLISHED but when it comes to using the Law the collect offerings and tithes and other stuffs, he who said the law was abolished will return to the law to use it. Dude, listen up, The Spirit of God is given to believers TO LEAD us instead of the law LEADING us. Why do YOU PEOPLE DECEIVE FOLKS USING SOME PARTS OF THE LAW where it is gainful to you. King James Bible Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1 Timothy 1:9 Ask yourself, are you righteous (in Christ)? 2. Deal with these scriptures: Romans 7 Amplified Bible (AMP) 7 Do you not know, brethren—for I am speaking to men who are acquainted with the Law—that legal claims have power over a person only for as long as he is alive? 2 For [instance] a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies, she is loosed and discharged from the law concerning her husband. 3 Accordingly, she will be held an adulteress if she unites herself to another man while her husband lives. But if her husband dies, the marriage law no longer is binding on her [she is free from that law]; and if she unites herself to another man, she is not an adulteress. 4 Likewise, my brethren, you have undergone death as to the Law through the [crucified] body of Christ, so that now you may belong to Another, to Him Who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 When we were living in the flesh (mere physical lives), the sinful passions that were awakened and aroused up by [what] the Law [makes sin] were constantly operating in our natural powers (in our bodily organs, [a]in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh), so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive. So now we serve not under [obedience to] the old code of written regulations, but [under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit in newness [of life]. 2 Likes |

my brother, your argument is fatally flawed In 1 Corinthians, Paul CORRECTED the abuse of spiritual gifts by teaching them the right way not discarding the gifts. In Acts 15,if the error was in attaching circumcision to salvation, then the correction should have entailed restoring circumcision to its rightful place. The Holy Spirit called circumcision and the rest of Torah a BURDEN totally unnecessary for the Gentiles. Later, Paul would ONLY circumcise when pressured by the Circumcision group. I have noticed you claim that circumcision has some merits such as 'identifying with the covenant'. I asked you to explain whether an uncircumcised Christian who does not 'identify with the covenant' is missing anything. Please do tell us what circumcision is necessary for if at all Gombs: 1 Like |

[quote author=Candour post=28363904] Hear Hagin on page 88 Bobo, you've quoted him outta context, now flip your pages back to page 67, don't worry, see the pic below color=#000099]I've also heard preachers try to hammer Christians by quoting from Malachi chapter 3 saying that they are cursed if they don't pay tithes and give offerings. Obviously, this is not correct. While the people of Malachi's day were under the Law of Moses, the New Testament plainly declares that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law (Gal. 3:13). [/color] I still think you are . Howbeit, not exactly a lie Notice he was against preachers hammering christians in a threat that they are cursed, I wrote he who doesn't places himself in a curse (limit yourselve from a set blessing) those are two different things o. Hagin was speaking about legalism, preachers using legalism to preach tithing. There is no curse as in a CURSE, the curse there was limiting yourself, that's why I wrote, "you put yourselves under one" not "God will curse you" Really? You call non tithers robbers, right? Where will a robber end up? Robbing God has it's penatly here on earth, limiting yourselves from some blessings, He never said it has eternal consequences for robbing him. Something cannot stand on nothing. There'll not be need for this particular argument but for your claim that you follow Abraham to tithe (but of course rush to Moses via Malachi to ensure compliance utilizing the fear factor). Convinent answer...that means there are none. Ok Now prove Abraham paid tithes on any thing apart from spoils of war. Then we can proceed to establishing whether we need anything condemned before we know it doesn't pertain to us. If it was only wars, how come his grandson had enough knowledge to tithe, noting Jacob didn't fight a war?

vooks: These guys are our brother but they have no mercy as to twisting scriptures. Imagine Gombs and others saying such about circumcision tied to the Abrahamic covenant and saying "some part of the law" still exist. They teach that to remain the "aspect" of the law they want to use as gains to deceive folks. Gombs is another fraud of CE in apprentice school and in training. Isreal was completely blind to "purpose and right application of the laws of Moses". This is the same way many legalistic brethren and perverting the application of the law especially those who want to mix the law with Grace of God. I once told Bidam, Christ is the substance in the law BUT they want to teach the law as obligation that still exist while Christ already fulfilled the realities.

where will a robber who refuses to stop robbing end up?
so you can't answer?
the bible said it was only a tenth of the spoils of war. Hebrews 7:4 KJV Now consider how great this man was , unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. his grandson wasn't tithing. Jacob vowed to give a tenth to God contingent upon God meeting some conditions. Was that how Abraham traded tithe of spoils of war with Melchizedek or God? 1 Like |
