Your “spirit” seems to be of the enemy – not God. The Bible firmly tells us in Revelation to NOT twist or change what it says. The Book also tells us to title 10% and that’s what we should do, Ray. What ever we give God He gives it back in many, many Blessings! Furthermore we SHOULD give Him what He wants because He keeps Blessing us. To confuse is a sin; it is NOT a sin to tithe. Even in the new Covenant and Testament the 10 Commandments still stand and all of God’s words should be obeyed. All of them. Suggesting “loop holes” only work for the worldly person and puts the human soul in jeopardy. You don’t have God’s spirit; your Father is Satan and very shallow you are.
WOW! "My father is Satan," you say? Those are pretty strong words, don't you think?
What if...............I mean, just what if, my Father is God the Father but you say that my father is Satan? What if you are wrong? What are the implications of that? Jesus said that if you attribute to Satan the things of God, you "BLASPHEME the Holy Spirit of God" (Mark 3:29). That's really quite serious, Marilyn.
What you spit out in your frustration over what God's Word teaches on the damnable heresy of making the tithing of money a New Covenant law, could come back to haunt you in Judgment. I pray that our Father in Heaven will forgive you, that what you said, you said in ignorance, and that God will forgive you.
Trust me, I know how badly the Church has screwed up the minds of innocent people to the point that they blaspheme to defend the unscriptural rank heresy of their beloved church.
God be with you,
Ray
