When was the last time you heard a sermon on this passage, ye, “children of God” ?
By the way, I am gone fishing )

I agree with you Deuteronomy 14:25 is very clear.Jesus said no one can change the law given to the Jews.Not even Jesus can change Deuteronomy 14:24-26

Peace to you all

the verse that I qouted was wrong,it was suppose to be (Detronomy 14:24-26) and (Deutronomy 14:25) about SELLING THE TITHES FOR MONEY

I am just wondering if those who pay their tithes to their churches, know that if you really sit down and study your bible about tithing, you will discover that some pastors and teachers have delibrately mislead christians about the LAW OF TITHING.

Poor people and Gentiles were not commanded or ask to tithe.PLEASE READ THIS AND STOP BEING SO PROUD-( Numbers 14:24-26)

You think that now you are a christian you are allowed to change Gods LAW or MOSIAC LAW because you are born again ?

(NUMBERS 14:25 )NKJ says TO SELL OR TURN IT TO MONEY AND BIND UP THE MONEY IN THY HAND.

That means that God did not ask Hebrews to tithe MONEY.It was only FOOD AND ANIMALS RAISED WITHIN THE GATES OF ISRAEL.

NOWHERE in the bible where it say that MONEY IS HOLY ON TO GOD

If Moses or Arron disobeyed Gods commandments and instructions in any way they would have died. Thats why Arrons sons DIED. GOD KILLED THEM.

Moses did not make it to the promise land because he stroke the rock twice and he made God angry

King Saul lost his kingdom and was killed in war when he offered a burnt offering to God and he was not from the Levitical Priesthood.

PLEASE STAY WITH THE NEW COVENANT IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS

GRACE AND LAW ARE NOT THE SAME

WE CANT MIX THE MOSIAC LAW- AND THE NEW COVENANT

Saul befor he met Jesus killed christians because of the Law and when he was born again said “accoding to the law he was blameless”

Have a good day

It appears that financial blessings along with many other blessings found in the New Testament are not part of salvation. Salvation is free and can not be earned by observing the law. It is clear that anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, praise the Lord, but in no way does it say the all the blessings are automatic given with salvation.

Even our healing that has been paid for by the blood of Jesus is accessed through confessing our sins one to another. (James 5:16)

Read about those who enter heaven by escaping the flames (1Co 3:15), and those who teach others not to follow laws will be least in the kingdom of heaven (Mt 5:19) read what God said to the born again Christians in the New testament church about overcoming (Rev Chapter 3 & 4).

Read about running the race (1Co 9:24-27 Heb 12:1),
1Co 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
26 Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air.
27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

There is no way that Paul is telling the Christians in Corinthians to compete for salvation(as that is who he is writing to) he has already made it clear that it is through faith that salvation is received, so what is he talking about. My suggestion is that he is talking about spiritual meat and not spiritual milk.

Heb 5:12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
Heb 5:13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
1Pe 2:2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

Study the words of Jesus and his father on reward for Christians Mt 16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. Re 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.

Spiritual Meat can be found in chapters like Matthew 25

Wannie, sorry if I came across too strong I apologise for that . I am not trying to insult anyone or offend anyone .

When you give large amount of money to help and serve people, you get a bit annoyed when you hear some pastors and teachers teaching lies to line their pockets and use the gospel for their own selfish agendas while taking money from financialy poor christians.

Wannie,Jesus didnt warn us about the deceitfulness of money for fun.Jesus warned his disciples and his followers for a reason.
We cant serve God and money.Here is a verse to meditate on it (1 Timothy 6:5-6 )NLT or AMP, THE VERSE CLEARLY SAYS “GODLINESS OR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A SOURCE OF PROFIT or a MONEY MAKING BUSINESS a MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD FROM SUCH WITHDRAW ”

Please read that verse and spent time to study it,Paul who wrote about agape love wrote it.

Anyone who ignores it and suffer from deception is a result of ignorance and laziness.

The largest church in Sydney takes in 40-50 million a year and their policy is that they DO NOT GIVE ANY ASSISTANCE FINANCIALY OR HELP THEIR MEMBERS IF THEY SUFFER IN ANY WAY.

Even pastors who get in to financial hardship said that the church refuses to help but recomend that you approach the government for help.

This paticular church monitors your giving then they promote you to a group called “kingdom builders” if you give more than 10grand on top of your tithes.This church promotes the “prosperity gospel”,they teach that if their members pay their tithes God will make them rich.

The Australian Government withdraw grant of over $400,000 because the church delibrately defrauded the Federal Government by lying and falsifying documents for Aporiginal support programe while the church annual income was between 40-50million.

Peace to you all.
