A PARODY OF SUN WORSHIP!!!

According to the best understanding we have gleaned from the available records, life for our ancient forefathers was a mixture of wonder and fear. Each day, just finding food for one's family without becoming a meal yourself for the roaming predatory animals, was a life and death struggle. (If you have ever ventured out on a cold night with insufficient clothing, and without friend or family near, you could quickly see how fearful the dark, cold primordial nights could be) And then came winter!

It was from these meager, distressful conditions of the human race that our long history of the search for God and meaning has come. Any evolution, at it's most accelerated rate, is always agonisingly slow. But from the beginning, man's' profound questions demanded answers. When no clear answers were forthcoming from the universe, man turned inward, and developed his own. Keep in mind that all the theological teachings of the Western World were developed in the Northern Hemisphere. The study of this subject is properly called
- "Astro-Theology" or, "The Worship of the Heavens".
ASTRO-THEOLOGY
This is the first, original, and therefore the oldest, and most respected story on Earth! It did not take ancient man very long to decide that in this world the single greatest enemy to be feared was the darkness of night, and all the unknown dangers that came with it. Simply stated, man's first enemy was darkness.

Understanding this one fact alone, people can readily see why the greatest and most trustworthy friend the human race could ever have was by far, heaven's greatest gift to the world ... that Glorious Rising Orb of Day: ...
the SUN


With this simple truth understood, we can now begin to unravel an ancient and wonderful story. Today, as in all mankinds' history, it has once again been told anew.

Modern-day Christianity has often belittled our ancient ancestors who are not here to defend themselves. They falsely accuse that they were nothing more than ignorant worshippers of the sun. Therefore we can, with assurance, summarily dismiss thousands of years of human spirituality as ignominious myth, believed by well-meaning, but gullible primitives. Too much of this kind of spiritual arrogance and religious pride has continued without challenge. The time has come to set matters straight.
THE CHALLENGE
First. no people of the ancient world believed the "Sun" to be "God". That belongs in the "disinformation file".

In point of fact, every Ancient culture and nation on Earth have all used the Sun as the most logically appropriate symbol to represent the Glory of the unseen Creator of the heavens. Here it is important to remember two points.

First, with the exception of Japan, the ancient world mythologies always understood the Sun to be masculine in qualities, and the moon feminine. Second, the English language is derived from the German. In the Germanic, the word 'Sun' is spelled 'Sonne'. The two words can (and have been) used interchangeably.

Old Testament:
"The heavens are declaring the Glory of God." (PS.19: 1)

New Testament:
"Jesus is the Glory of God." (2 Cor 4:6)

Old Testament:
"The SUN of Righteousness will arise with healings in His wings." (Mal 4:2)

New Testament:
"God's Son/Sun...he is risen!" (Matt 4:16)
Saying. "How, often I wanted to gather you under my wing. "

The Statue of Liberty...to this day, kings still wear a round "crown of thorns," symbolising the rays of the Sun!

The "Ancient Story" went something like this....

1. The ancient peoples reasoned that no one on Earth could ever lay claim of ownership to the Great Orb of Day. It must belong to the unseen Creator of the Universe. It was, figuratively speaking, not man's, but "GOD'S SUN". Truly, "God's Sun/Son was...
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

2. As stated before, in the dark cold of night man realised his utter vulnerability to the elements. Each night, mankind was forced to wait for the " Risen Sun" to chase away the physical and mental insecurity brought on by the darkness. Therefore, the morning Sun focused man's attention on heavenly dependents for his frail, short existence on Earth, and in doing so, it became the appropriate symbol of divine benevolence from heaven.

3. So just as small fire brought limited light into man's own little world of darkness, likewise the "Great Fire of Day" served the whole Earth with its heavenly presence. For this reason, it was said at Deut 4:24, and Heb 12:29 that the God of the Bible was a "Consuming Fire" in heaven. And so He is!

4. It was accepted by all that man was bound to a life on Earth, but the sky was God the Father's abode - His dwelling place. Naturally, God's Son/Sun would also reside with his Father " up in HEAVEN".

5. Ancient man saw in his male offspring his own image and likeness, and his own existence as a father was proved by the person of his son. It was assumed that God's 'Sun was but a visible representative of the unseen Creator in heaven. So it was said, "When you have seen the Sun, you have seen the Father ". or "The Father is glorified in his Sun".

6. Ancient man had no problem understanding that all life on Earth depended directly on life-giving energy from the Sun. Consequently, all life was lost without the Sun. It followed that God's 'Sun' was nothing less than "Our very Saviour". If you don't think so, wait 'till it don't come up!

7. Since life is energy, and energy from the Sun gave life, and we sustained our very existence by taking energy in from our food (which came directly from God's Sun), the Sun must give up its life supporting energy so that we may continue to live.
"God's Sun gives his life for us to live."

8. While it was plainly true that our life came from and was sustained each day by "Our Saviour... God's Sun", it was and would be true only as long as the Sun would return each morning. Our hope of salvation would be secure only in a "RISEN saviour". For if he did not rise from his grave of darkness,all would be lost. All the world waited patiently for His 'imminent return". The Divine Father would never leave us at the mercy of this world of darkness. His Heavenly promise concerning his Sun was surely that..."He would come again"...to light our path, and save those lost in the darkness ... and He still does...every morning about 5:30 am.

9. Logically, even if man himself died, as long as the Sun comes up each day, life on Earth will continue forever. Therefore, it was said in the ancient texts that everlasting life was "the gift" that the Father gives through his Sun. For..."God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten SUN that we may have life everlasting"....on Earth! Not for you personally - but ON EARTH... everlasting life!

10. Since evil and harm lurked at every turn in the fearful dark of night, all evil or harmful deeds were naturally, the..."works of darkness."

11. With the return of the Sun each morning, man felt more secure in his world and therefore, was at peace. Therefore, God's 'Sun' was with his warm rays of life and hope...The Great "Prince of Peace".

12. And of course the reverse was equally true. The dark evil of night was ruled by none other than..."Prince of Darkness"... The EVIL / DEVIL.

13. Our English words 'Good' and 'God' we get from the German word 'Goth' as in 'Gothic'. Now we see God is Good, and Devil is Evil

14. It was only a short step to see "The Light of God's Sun" equated with the light of truth - and evil equated with darkness. From then on, it was simple to understand...
"LIGHT was GOOD - DARK was BAD."
15. That being true, then the Great Orb of Day (God's Sun) could rightly say of itself,
"I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, and no man comes to the Father except through me", or one comes to God Only by the Light of Truth.
16. We should all "give thanks" to the Father for sending us His "Sun". For the peace and tranquillity he brings to our life is even called 'Solace' - from "Solar" = Sun.

17. We now have before us two (2) cosmic brothers - one very good, and one very evil. One brings the "truth to light" with the "light of truth". The other is the opposite, or in opposition to the light - "The Opposer"...
Prince of this World of Darkness-
The "Devil".

18. It is at this point that we come to Egypt. More than 3,000 years before Christianity began, the early morning "Sun/ Saviour" was pictured in Egypt as the "New Born Babe". The infant saviour's name was "HORUS". ("OUT OF EGYPT HAVE I CALLED MY SUN, sorry, SON". Hos 11:1, MATT 2:15)

19. The early morning Sun or "New Born Babe", was pictured in two ways.
A) The Dove - Bringer of Peace
B) The Hawk - God of War
(who punishes the enemies of God!).
20. At daybreak. this wonderful, newborn child, God's 'Sun', is ... 'Born Again' Horus is Risen. Even today, when the Sun comes up, we see it on the "Horus-Risen", or "Horizon". His life was also divided into 12 parts or steps across Heaven each day: 12 HORUS = 12 HOURS. This is the origin of the modern " 12 Step Program". Horus is the (new-born) Sun, or the Bringer of the Light. In Latin, Light Bringer is Lucis, or Lucifer, or Luke. (LUCIFER=Jesus, REV 22;16)
21. But now, what about the evil brother of God's Sun, that old rascally "Prince of Darkness" himself? In the Egyptian, he was called "SET". We are told in the Bible that when God's Sun died, He left the world in the hands of the Evil Prince of Darkness. This evil prince took over the world at "SON-SET".

22. It was generally observed that 'God's Sun' could be depended upon to return in the same manner that he left, namely, "On a Cloud""..and that "Every eye will see Him"" ... Every evening, go out and watch the Sun leave this world "on a cloud". And next morning, watch to see Him return on a cloud. And every eye will see him come again! ... Unless you're blind!

23. Keep in mind 'God's Sun' symbolically represented the light of truth, but was condemned by His enemies who could not endure the light of truth in their life. The ancients taught that the very act of opposing or denying the light of truth to the point of killing it, happened in one's own mind! When we are confronted with the harsh realities of life, the light of truth, which we do not wish to face, and which runs counter to our views, such truth is judged in your mind, or judged "in the temple area" of your brain, and put to death in your head ! Therefore, 'God's Sun - The Truth and The Light - is put to death at "GOLGOTHA" , or "PLACE OF THE SKULL ", located somewhere between your ears! This putting to death of the light of truth in your mind is always accompanied by two thieves: Regret for the past and Fear of the future.

24. And of course God's 'Sun' goes to His death wearing a "corona" - Latin for "Crown of Thorns" . Remember the Statue of Liberty? To this day, Kings still wear a round crown of thorns, symbolising the rays of the Sun!

25. God's 'Sun' brought His wonderful light to the world, and distributed it over 12 months. So it was said, God's 'Sun' had 12 companions, or helpers, that assisted His life-saving work. So it was, God's 'Sun' had 12 apostles (or months) that followed Him religiously through His life. Incidentally, now you know why the American jury system has 12 jurors who help bring the truth to light, with the "Light of Truth".
26. As far back as we can go into the ancient world, we find that all known cultures had a "Three-in-one" Triune God. The very first trinity was simply the three stages of the life of the Sun.

A) New Born Savior at dawn.

B) Mature, full-grown (The Most High) at 12 (High) noon.

C) Old and dying, at the end of day (going back to The Father).

All three were of course One Divinity - The Sun
three different phases, but one God!
The Trinity is truly a mystery...Like electricity, radio, TV, and jumbo-jets are all a mystery to the un-enlightened mind!
27. The Egyptians knew that the Sun was at its highest point in the sky (at high noon). At that point, one offered prayers to the "Most High" God! To the ancients, the sky was the abode, or heavenly temple, of the "Most High". Therefore, God's 'Sun' was doing His heavenly Father's work of enlightening all in the temple at 12 ...not 12 years old, but 12 noon!
28. The world of ancient man kept track of times and seasons by the movement of the Sun daily, monthly, and yearly. For this, the sundial and sun calendars were devised. Not only the daily movement of the Sun was tracked on the round dial, but also the whole year was charted on a round Sun calendar dial. Examples: Ancient Mexican, Mayan, Inca, Aztec, Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Celtic, Aryan, etc. With this method, certain new concepts emerged in the mind of ancient man.
29. Since the Earth experienced 4 different seasons, all the same and equal (in time) each year, the round Sun calendar was divided into 4 equal parts. This is also why we have, in the Bible, only 4 Gospels. Of this point, there can be no doubt. The 4 Gospels represent the four 4 seasons which collectively tell the entire story of the life of God's 'Sun'. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. This is why the famous painting of "The Last Supper" pictures the 12 followers of the Sun in four groups (of three) ... the seasons!
30. On the round surface of the yearly calendar, you can draw a straight line directly across the middle, cutting the circle in half... one end being the point of the winter solstice; the other end being the point of the summer solstice. Then you can draw another straight line (crossing the first one); one end of the new line being the spring equinox; the other end being the autumn equinox. You now have the starting points for each of the 4 seasons. This is referred to by all major encyclopedias and reference works, both ancient and modern, as "The Cross of the Zodiac". Thus, the life of God's 'Sun' is on "the Cross". This is why we see the round circle of the Sun on the crosses of Christian churches. The next time you pass a Christian church, look for the circle (God's Sun) on the cross.
The Sun, since the first day of summer, has each day been moving southward, and stops when it reaches its lowest point in the Northern Hemispheric sky (December 22nd - our winter solstice).

At this lowest point, the Sun stops its journey southward. For three days, December 22nd, 23rd , and 24th, the Sun rises on the exact same latitudinal (declination) degree.
This is the only time in the year that the Sun actually stops its movement Northward or Southward in our sky. On the morning of December 25th the Sun moves one degree northward beginning its annual journey back to us in the Northern Hemisphere, ultimately bringing our spring. Anything steadily moving all year long that suddenly stops moving for three days was considered to have died. Therefore, God's Sun who was dead for three days, moves one-degree Northward on December 25th beginning its annual journey back to the Northern Hemisphere. The Sun is symbolically ....BORN AGAIN.
And to this day, His worshippers still celebrate His BIRTHDAY!.... Merry Christmas.
31. Today we use expressions when someone dies. We say things like, "They Passed", or "They Passed On", or "They Passed Away". The ancients said "They Passed Over" (from one life to another), And so it was with the coming of spring, as God's Sun is "Resurrected" from the Death of Winter to His New Life (in spring).
In the ancient world, long before the Hebrews ever existed, the celebration of spring was called "The Pass Over." The Sun, which was dead in winter, has passed over to His new life in spring. This is the origin of the modern Pass Over celebration.
This is why Christians also celebrate "The Resurrection", or His return, in spring with a "Sun Rise service"... He kept His Promise, and has returned to us with the Promise of New Life... "HAPPY EASTER-PASSOVER!"

Pentecostalism..... the religious Yahoo fee fraud with a licence from morons.

Nigeria is its own nation with its various tribes. blacks!
Israel is its own nation with its various tribes. coloured!
Levites is a tribe in Israel. Let them get their visas & rush to Nigeria to collect their accumulated tithes being collected on their behalf. but while they do so, no Nigerian should join them cos Nigeria is not Israel genetically n otherwise. Any Nigerian that comes for the tithe is a fraud n an imposter

Neither do they believe in Jesus . Are you following a backslidden nation or the word of God

.
which part of the scripture is d word of God?
you forgot that Jesus is d word of God.

the Levite are a tribe of people who no more exist. No levite, no tithe

. . . You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.[

.no, ....."the more weightier matters of the Laws" like
1) stoning to death those who violate the law
,2) burning d tithes and offerings to God as clearly practiced from the beginning

petra1:


Tithe belong to God right right from the days of father Abraham who’s principle of faith we follow .

Under the law God still commanded isreal to give tithes and offerings. Which is used for the service of the house of God and welfare and support of workers and ministers there .

Leviticus 27:30.
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord.

Numbers 18:21-25
21 And, behold, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance in return for their service which they serve, the [menial] service of the Tent of Meeting.

After God Instructed them on the tithe to him through the levites , he asked the people to give another 10% to the poor every 3 years and another 10% for a love feast to eat and drink . That doesn’t replace the tithe to God. And that is the error and deception of daddy freeze . He didn’t mentioned the title to God and gave the impression that the other 10% for feast and for the poor were the same. .

As much as we are not tithing based on the law. We tithe based on Abrahamic revelation . However the explanation here is to throw light on the misrepresentation by daddy freeze .


THERE WERE THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TITHES

There were three different kinds of tithes in the Bible

The three different types are as follows:

1. THE LEVITICAL TITHE (sacred to God).

Leviticus 27:30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord

This tithe is used for the work of service in the place of worship and also for the welfare of the workers there.

Numbers 18:21-25
21 And, behold, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance in return for their service which they serve, the [menial] service of the Tent of Meeting.


2. THE TITHE OF THE FEAST (Deut. 14:22-27).(daddy freeze beer boozing tithe )
Deuteronomy 14:22-23
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.


3. THE TITHE FOR THE POOR (Deut. 14:28, 29). (Every 3 years)
This is done once in very 3 years . It is shared among the poor . While the main annual tithe still runs .

Deuteronomy 14:28-29
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest

The first tithe, the one we trace back to Abra­ham (Gen. 14:18-20), is the sacred tithe, given to the Levites and priests for their service to the temple and the congregation in the Old Testa­ment. This is the tithe we continue to give under the priesthood of Melchizedek in the New Testa­ment. It is the tithe consecrated to God and the furtherance of the gospel and has, therefore, validity for all believers in Christ.

Paul was clear enough .

1 Corinthians 9:13-14
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel

Now some may say Paul didn't accept support . That's no big deal . He didn't accept support in Corinth because of their carnality . But he accepted support from some other churches . Same goes for pastors today . Most pastors serve voluntarily. They don't receive support . Over 9% of pastors in Deeper life ,Redeem ,CEC, winners are serving voluntarily. They have their own jobs . In fact one of the criterial by which you are sent out is to first have a good job . Except only few who may be required to serve full time and they may have to resign from their job. To get support from church . Church tithe is used to pay workers , church rent , maintainance , equipment ,projects , generator fuel. Chair hire etc and other expenditures. The pastor is not the owner of church money . Every ministry has structure by which money is handled . A pastor in redeem cannot dip his hand into church account . There are approvals from head quarters for expenditure. Not what bloggers online post who don't even go to church

We are not giving tithes as commanded under the law . Our tithing dates to Abraham before the law came . And that it why the other kinds of tithes were not emphasized . So daddy freeze only dwell on the feast party which is not abrahamic . And antitithers are jumping up that they have a hero (who is not even a Christian )

.
YOU SAID WE TITHE BASED ON ABRAHAM REVELATION. BUT THERE IS NO REVELATION LIKE THAT. WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT ABRAHAM TITHE ONCE IN HIS LIFETIME OF 175 YRS & HE TITHED OUT OF HIS BOOTIES, THINGS HE STOLE FROM VICTIMS OF WAR. HE IS A BAD EXAMPLE.
.
YOU FORGOT TO MENTIONED THAT ANYTHING GIVEN TO GOD MUST BE BURNED ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.
D DIRECTION IN WHICH D SMOKE TRAVELS DETERMINES GOD'S ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION. I HOPE U DONT STORE UP GOD'S PORTION IN D BANKS COS THAT WOULD AMOUNT TO ROBBING GOD.
.
THOSE WHO OPPOSED TITHING CANNOT BE SATANIC COS THEIR POSITION HAS SCRIPTURAL BACKING. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHICH IS D FIRST ORGANIZED CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND STILL IN POSSESSION OF ANCIENTS SCRIPTS & KNOWLEDGE HAVE NEVER BEEN PROPONENTS OF TITHES. SO ALSO ARE THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND CHURCH OF CHRIST. THEY HAVE CARRIED OUT EXTENSIVE STUDY OF SCRIPTURE & DISCOVERED THAT TITHING IS NOT APPLICABLE TO D GENTILE CHRISTIAN. SO THEY LEFT IT IN D TRASH WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
.
IS THIS A COINCIDENCE,? ALL D " CHURCHES " WHOSE MINISTERS / OVERSEERS DON'T DEPEND ON CHURCH FINANCES FOR THEIR LIVELIHOOD ARE D ONLY ONES THAT ARE AGAINST TITHING WHILE THOSE WHOSE MINISTERS & OVERSEERS DEPEND ON " CHURCH " FINANCES ARE D ONES CLAMOURING FOR TITHE. SOMETHING IS FISHING AND IT IS REALLY NOT THE FISH,!
.
TODAY IN ISRAEL, NOBODY TITHES!
ISRAELITES, TO WHOM D INSTRUCTION WAS GIVEN, DONT TITHE. ACCORDING TO THEM, D LEVITE'S TRIBE NO MORE. EXIST AND SO D TITHING HAS TO STOPPED.
IF ISRAEL TODAY DONT TITHE, WHAT D HELL ARE NIGERIANS STILL DOING WITH TITHE.?
.
ACCORDING TO JAMES 2:10 AND GAL 3:10, U EITHER KEEP ALL D MOSAIC LAWS OR KEEP NONE. U DONT KEEP SOME AND DISCARD D OTHERS, IF U DO , U WOULD BE CURSED!
.
James 2:10
. "for whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point. he is guilty of all".
.
gal 3:20.
. " for as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them".
.
Matt 23:23.
. "woe unto you,......for ye pay tithe....and have omitted the weighier matters of the law....these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone".
.
SO U SEE. IF YOU MUST TITHE, THEN U CANNOT IGNORE THE OTHER PART OF THE LAW THAT COMMANDS THAT U SHOULD STONE TO DEATH THOSE WHO VIOLATE THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LAW. INFACT, ALL OTHER SHARIA LAWS GIVEN BY GOD DURING THAT SAME TIME SHOULD GO WITH IT!
.
DONT 4 GET, ISRAEL OF TODAY DONT TITHE,!!!!

OkaiCorne:
Dear OP, please also add that God never instructed Tithes to be paid monetarily.

In addition, in Acts 15...the Apostles never preached Tithing as a requirement for Christians.

Thank you.

.
they have shekels as their money in those day but were never allowed to use it for tithing n offering. Deut 14:24-26. According to Jesus, u don't give money to God since money is man made, that u only give money to man b/c man owns money as shown by man's image on it. IF U ARE ASKED TO GIVE MONEY TO GOD, THEN THAT GOD IS A MAN! .God owns nature, so u give him natural things but don't forget to burn them to him. that's why in his conclusion, Jesus stated that " give to caeser what is caeser's n God what is God's. Matt 22:29-21, 17:24-27. Jesus violently opposed those who utilized money in the temple/ house of God. Matt 21:12

TYPES OF TITHES
.
a). The annual tithe-
this is done once in a year and d items used for this tithing are set aside by d worker for he and His family consumption at any place to which God leads him. it us a festive tithe where d tither enjoys d fruits of his labour with his family n any levites nearby can join him in drinking n eating. these levites are d non engaged in d streets n not d priests in temple. (Deut 14:22-27).. if money is involved, u spend it in buying food n drinks items for your merriment.

b). d 3 yearly tithe.
.
done once in 3 years. the tither gathers the items at d gates of his house and the levites , alongside d widows, orphans
, musicians ( choirs) n decorators come to d gates to pick up these items for their consumption. as u see. you give it out at your house in the streets. ( Deut 14:28-29). this is d tithe with d promise of a blessing.
.
c). the tithe of tithes.
.
10% of 10%.this is d one that goes to d house of god. Once d levites received in d streets, they give a tenth of d collected tithes (10% of 10%, which is actually 0.01% from d tither) to their levitical brothers who are stationed in d temple as priests n d rest is theirs. thus no tither goes to d house of god to tithe directly. from this tithe of tithes, all workers in God's house received their share, and a portion is set aside for God and burnt on his alter. this reaches him via d rising smoke. WHAT IS GIVEN TO GOD MUST BE BURNED! HE DIES NOT GO TO BANKS!! ( Nehemiah 10:38-39).
.
Qualifications of priests to share in d tithe of tithes.
.
1. they must not have bald heads n must not shave their beards.
2. they must not officiate at funerals.
3. they must not marry a divorcee.
4. they must marry their wives as virgins.
5. their daughters must nor be sexually immoral.
6. must never leave d sanctuary at any time.
(Lev 21:1-14).
.

Who is robbing who?
.
Just like d sons of eli, d priests or pastors were d ones robbing God . they failed to give god his own share. instead of burning it, they kept it for themselves. they only remember God's share when d food items have gone bad. in today's case, it kept in banks instead of being burnt as a burnt offering as commanded. ( Mal 1:7-8, 2:1, 2:7-9, 3:7-8, Lev 21:6, 6:9-16, Gen 8:20-21)
.
What About Abraham?.
.
he paid tithe out of what he stole from victims of war n not from his legal earning, and paid only ONCE in his lifetime!!.
.
who to tithe?.
.
Only d 11 tribes of Israel. Strangers are not to tithe. Nigerians are strangers!
.


Duration
.
.tithing is among d circumstantial laws ( matt 19: of d old covenant that must come to an end since it is s faulty covenant. ( Heb 8:5-13, matt 5:21-22, 27-29, 38-39). The levite in d xtian era had lands for working like every other persons (Act 4:36-37). Jesus use d case of d adulterous woman to demonstrate d end of d Mosaic (sharia) laws. It is either all has passed by nailing on d cross, or none has passed.
..
from d acts of apostle, d true Christian church practiced CHEERFUL/ WILLING GIVINGS, WHILE THE ANTICHRIST CHURCHES PRACTICE INTIMIDATED GIVINGS.
.
WHAT BRINGS BLESSINGS TO A CHRISTIANS?
.
These were clearly stated by Jesus, TITHES was not among them. . Check out d list at Matt 5: 3-12. Do u think Jesus made a mistake?
.
IS TITHING A REQUISITE FOR ENTERING INTO God's KINGDOM?
.
Capital NO! Jesus listed d requisite for entering into d kingdom and tithe is never among them. Pls see d six things u must practice to secure God's kingdom at Matt 19:16-19. See also Matt 25:34-40, Lk 18:18-20, Lk 10:25-37.
.
AS A CHRISTIAN, WHAT IS MEANT BY GIVING TO GOD IS TO GIVE TO THE NEEDY IN THE STREETS! Matt 25:40.
.
.HOW DO U GIVE?
.
U do not give tto d notice of any body. U don't publicize ur GIVINGS. U don't record ur GIVINGS in a card or notebook. giving must be done secretly as stated by Jesus in Matt 6:1-3. Religious racketeers who go about as men of dog, I mean god, monitor members contributions via open display of giving, n issuing of tithe cards. these are d modern day Sadducees n Pharisees that Jesus cursed in matt 23:23 over tithe collections.
.
DO U TITHE WITH MONEY?

Capital NO!. See Deut 14:24-26. it is clearly stated there. The Israelites used shekels then as currency, but never used it for tithing. Why?. b/c it is man made n u don't used it for offering n tithing. U only use natural things for tithing n offerings. Jesus made it clear that since money is man made you then give it to man cos it is man's picture that is inscribed on it and not God's image. he said: " give to caeser what is caeser's, and to God what is God's". Matt 22:19-21, 17:24-27. read thru d verses to see how Jesus arrived at this conclusion. Jesus violently opposed those who utilized money in d temple/ "house of God. see Matt 21:12.
