Proverbs 3:9-10/Firstfruits/Tithing

<< < (3/5) > >>

Yes I have heard the Firstfruits of the Tithes was Fruits and so on read it is there in any bible.
Also the Offering Tithes was Animals read it it is there.
Now I have heard of Seed being a sort of Tithe this is not Money but it is taught as so to Steal and Rob Money from church peoples.

Any religious person who teaches Tithing must first put You or Us under the Moses Law and also must say we are Israel also.

Most churches use this to get rich, but not all do.Paul never kept any Money Given to him note if you read about anything read about Giving
it is the truth more than Tithing!
Giving requires no 10% of your money. Not even I can give 10% of each paycheck to any church. If any person was to do so thety be broke unless they where Rich. You couldn't pay your bills or afford to buy food.
I'm tired of the Lies saying you are Robbing God of God's Money(Malachi 3:8-12). John Hagee says on in a few of his sermons,"I won't pray with someone about Tithing or Close my eyes in the presance of a Thief." So go to John Hagee and call him a Liar if he calls you a Thief.

Read all about Tithing then if a Pastor or Sunday School Teacher teaches this and says it is Money and not teach about what the verses are really about is just trying to get you to give the church 10% by robbing you and not God. I could go on and on about this Tithing Lie but Ray already has done it so read his post about it.

In my eyes there's no doubt that God deserves the best and poorest possessions we have because he owns it all anyways. There is absolutely no correlation  between first fruits and tithing. For instance, when God asked for the first born of Israel's children and first born of their flock, he couldn't ask for 10% of their child.

How does a crop turn into money? You sell the crop. You have to take the crop reference in the historical context of that time. That was how people made a living. As for tithing, offering, giving, whatever you want to call it. I don't do any of that because somebody is making me or telling me to. I do it because I have a desire in my heart to do it. I don't look for thanks and don't care what anybody may or may not think about my personel decision. If you are giving to receive something that is the wrong spirit to have in giving.

No lets pay attention to the words.  Is it tithing or giving?  There is a difference and that difference is key.

I believe the heart is the key. You know, what's the motive?
