Tithing Under The New Covenant?

---

Christians are encouraged to solve cases in judgment among themselves, 1 Corinthians 6: The Bible encourages us that our love may abound yet more in knowledge and in all Judgment and we judge ourselves dead in Christ, 2 Corinthians5: Life is in active constant judgments and the creation mourns for final judgment which it shall be subjected to by God. We relate in evaluation to all things in judgment. What we known and do not know is based on judgment.

What we believe right or wrong is based on judgment. Irrespective of any judgment delivered on us we should deliver the Heavenly Kingdom judgment to sins. We saved Christians are counted and judged worthy to suffer tribulations together with Christ when we live Christian life in love, Revelation Chapter 1, 2 and 3. We thus judge ourselves dead in Christ. There may be those who preach tithing to saved Christians for lack of spiritual understanding. We should gird up the loins of our minds as the knowledgeable wise sharers of the Word of God, 1 Peter 1: We shall not be cornered and be cheated.

God bless us in abundant grace of spiritual revelation and spiritual understanding of His Holy Word, Colssians 1: Amen I am happy and blessed to interact with you on spiritual teachings. Hope we shall search more scriptures for our spiritual growth. Yearning to receive your input on the topic. Robert Munyui Kamunyu says Tithing was under and is under the law with a curse for Christians seeking salvation under the law, Galatians 3: When pastors and priest lie by quoting Malachi 3: Is the storehouse pastors' and priests' house or the Church being the body of Christ?

They are ministers of the new testament born of love with exceeding glory which surpassed the glory that was in law in Moses.

What is the Tithe?

We have been redeemed from the curse of the law to adoptions of sons in Royal Priesthood Pastors ,Priest and Bishops who are servants of God cannot subject sons of God in Royal Priesthood to tithe taxes- absolute illegal and are not under the law, Galatians 5: Salvation under the law one attains it at last Those who lie would like to deceive Christians that tithe was before the law but before which law. When Christ was born He was given gifts and not tithes Mathew 2: Salvation under spiritual law of love by grace is freely given and attained with free miracles from God our Father, Ephesians 2: Widows, strangers ,fatherless and orphans benefited from tithes and offerings given to Levites, Deuteronomy There was also a tithe where a family had to eat all before the Lord, Deutreronomy In Christ Jesus we are saved by grace to adoptions of sons in Royal Priesthood of Christ and not by works of law ,Galatians 3: Sons have direct access to the Father and free common inheritance not bought or worked for from the father.

For servants Pastors and Priest are servants of God worthy all respects and due help. Salvation under the law one attains it at last breath on earth Under Leviticus priesthood tithes were given to Levites Priests for use by the tribe of Levi and tithe of tithe to the high Priest for they shared no land apart from the walled towns they were allocated to stay in for their continuous sacrifice to God, Numbers For servants Pastors and Priest are worthy all respects and due sharing help from Christians in love.

Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ is every Christian burden and giving in love to support brethren for this cause is a free blessing. Tithes betrays Christian doctrine of love and grace in Jesus Christ. Leviticus priesthood under the law with tithes, death, discontinuity and its acceptance under glory of law without the great commission was done away in Christ and the holy priesthood of Christ without tithes, death and discontinuity with exceeding glory under which Christians are in salvation being a Holy nation and Loyal Priests to preach to the world GOD being their Father in new covenant ministry.

Tithing weakens the Royal Priesthood of Christians in Christ where Christians are supposed to give themselves as living sacrifice in the mission vision fields. The Christians Royal Priesthood in Christ Jesus is internally weekend from within ,fought and economically drained mostly for indoors ministries under revival of Leviticus priesthood by pastors. The Royal Priesthood is internally spiritually emaciated and trodden upon. The priesthood was changed from the old covenant Leviticus Priesthood to the new covenant Loyal Priesthood of labor in Christ without tithes allocations which is not appreciated and the law governing it was changed.

Christ requested His disciples to give the crowd food to eat , Matthew Jesus Christ told Peter look after his lambs and later to look after His sheep service in clear shift from Leviticus priesthood John Under Leviticus priesthood an animal for sacrifice was alive between the alter of sacrifice and the Levite priest holding the sacrificial knife.

Sheep remained alive for a period of time only when they were delivered many animals for sacrifice and the alter could not hold them all for sacrifice. We are dead to sin and alive in Christ who live in us being a living sacrifice to God.

Levites Pastors and Priests are comfortable with brethren who live and behave like dead sacrifice. Levites priests were to labor to sacrifice and not tendering the flocks or do any farming ,Numbers They lived in walled towns. Pastors and Priests who revive the Leviticus priesthood removed by Christ and merge it to the Loyal priesthood of Christ do so for personal gains in mass cheating for concealed personal allocations.

Levites priests beat and wanted to kill all disciples of Christ whom they told not to preach in His name. Paul did for spiritual growth of the body of Christ. Let well educated Christians stand for justice like Dr.

Gamaliel who was a doctor of law who in his response rescued the apostles from eminent death in the hands of Levites priests Acts;5: The intrigue of doctrinal falsehood on tithes smartly engineered and flamboyantly taught by them worldwide cannot be justified or be cleansed by their religious social status. Christians should not be for entertainments but for truth preached and taught which is not in contest in numerical strength for acceptance.

It quite clear from the Bible that there is no perfection and justification under works of the law. For Christians God has no pleasure for sacrifice and offerings and burnt offerings and offering for sins and for which is offered under law. Selective preaching and teaching on tithes falsehood cover up still remain. In law men in old covenant remained the instructors and enforcers of the law. In new covenant the Holy Spirit remains our wonderful teacher and counselor in grace.

For sure those who are in bondage of the law have men appreciation at hand but those lead by the Holy Spirit in Liberty within the yoke of Christ in grace have the acceptance of God. Christians should not be held spiritually hostage by unifying concealed radical falsehoods out of labor. This would be spiritual blindness and slavery for many Christians hard for some to overcome. Apostles did not teach and preach the Gospel Of Jesus Christ through deceptive greediness but by sound doctrines, 2Peter: Christians taught for doctrines the commandments of men have establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto righteousness of God and replace Jesus Christ for men who become their gods Roman 1: The trickiest concealed part being putting and uplifting self-righteousness in bold daylight spectrum bath for self- justification in tithes with great proof of said amassed successful blessings through falsehood but not justified by God.

They are admired for their earthly great achievements and they testify much of their stardom. There is the church of men where men teach for doctrines commandments of men and Church of Jesus Christ which cannot be swallowed by institutionalized organized falsehood and greed concealed in martyrdom of great false knowledge spread which is not in the True Word of God.

Even those workers of iniquity with miracles shall not cheat and defeat the church of Christ since He holds the Church in His holy hands in due time. The gates of hell shall not prevail over the Church of Jesus Christ. The Church of Christ cannot live by glorious commandments instituted by men standards. No Christian should be cheated that how well looked after pastors are taken care of by Christians that it is the same way heaven is opened for them for blessings.

Christians must break free and be clean from men commandments enslavement and serve the Body of Christ and reach out to the world in liberty of Christ love. Christians true love and care will then freely flourish and share in love blessings from our God with the clergy.

Tithing in the New Testament & Old

They are amazed we stand in Christ without seeking their favor or consultation in tithes issues. They have stood as heroes of faith in teaching tithes as a condition for Christians to have blessings from God which we have opposed them as a lie. We are ambassadors of Christ on earth and we cannot be down sized to be ambassadors of men. Tithes teaching is real unexpected falsehood from those held dearly in trust by many Christian. The situation becomes more murky and tricky when church elders are accomplished in the classic falsehood which puts the church into mental slavery.

The Royal Priesthood in grace is quite different from Leviticus Priesthood under the law. The Royal Priesthood is well placed to reach the world more effectively at close quarters in Christ love and glory expected. It is quite unfortunate that Christians unknowingly are victims of systematic unmarked high professional intellectual falsehood commercialization cover up in tithes teaching by learned Christians brethren which is a disservice to the church body of Christ. But Christians have been warned not to be fools since for some preaching and teaching falsehood is a smart act energetically engaged and Christians are openly conned.

Tithing under law impoverishes the Royal Priesthood of Christ physically and spiritually which make the Great commission less effective. When all saved Christians are in Royal Priesthood, to whom do you tithe to in the in new covenant? The Royal Priesthood needs to take its place in Christian missions empowered in New Covenant for Christians to work in the glory of Christ love intended for the body of Christ. Hebrew 10;, A fountain cannot produce sweet and bitter water the same time. A new piece of cloth does not patch an old cloth nor do men put new wine in old bottles.

And with the priesthood changed there was need of changing the law governing it. Our royal priesthood in Christ Jesus is not after law of carnal commandment but after power of endless life Hebrews 7: We are subjected to spiritual law of life in Covenant in Christ Jesus and ought to have the spiritual understanding of the Word of God in liberty without corrupting the Word of God. Paul also taught the same.

Aaron was given unto Moses, the Levites tribe was given unto Aaron, the eleven tribes of Israel were given unto Levites tribe to serve them but we Christians are purchased through the blood of Christ we are no man servants but servants of Christ 1Corinthians 7: We are warned not to call any man our father in the spirit. Some have made men their fathers and call them fathers turning them their gods on earth. No servant can hinder children access to the Father and His blessed inheritance.

Are pastors, priest and Bishops in the Royal Priesthood of Christ or are in the Leviticus priesthood? Who coordinate pastors only to work for Christ for a living. Apostles of Christ worked with their hands for a living and for preaching the Gospel of Christ.

Do we make the spiritual understanding between the Leviticus Priesthood under the law and the Royal Priesthood in grace in the New Covenant or do we mix the two distinctive priesthoods cunningly for selfish gain to eliminate the so called clergy poverty and mess up with the doctrine of salvation. We should girdle up the loins of our minds as the knowledgeable wise sharers of the Word of God. When we stand for truth we build the body of Jesus Christ, in contradiction to accusation of bringing down the church.

The cleansing bloom of truth and righteousness has pulled down the tower of falsehood on tithes taught. Those blinded by the vail in the old Testament who cannot bear the Holy Bible Doctrine for Christians giving of purposed good measure from heart according as God has blessed one condemn themselves, 2Corinthians 9: A pressing need of meeting Church requirements is A pressing need of meeting Church requirements is cunningly hedged in as the justification for tithes without spiritual care. God supplied the early Church needs without tithes so well is done even today.

In truth the Church grows stronger, regrets and dismay are removed from our Spiritual Christian life growth since we do not wear the white coat of hypocritical harm. The storm of tithe falsehood is halted and bears no apology. When we expose falsehood as God is clear in HIS Word that we Christians should be spiritually awake and aware of false preaching and teaching, we shy not being falsely accused.

God bless us in abundant grace of spiritual revelation and spiritual understanding of His Holy Word, Colssians1: Leviticus Priesthood is forced on the throats of Christians by pastors for perfectly concealed selfish interests and gains. Do they want to tell us that Christ and Apostles of Christ forgot to ask for tithes during the early formative stage of Christian Do they want to tell us that Christ and Apostles of Christ forgot to ask for tithes during the early formative stage of Christian Ministry.

When we take the Word of God out of its content and contest ,we have contempt for the Word of God. Perfection is in grace and not in law. Leviticus Priesthood is impressive to many since it involves waiting at the sanctuary for provision and serving only at the altar of sacrifice.

The order of Melchisedec was in Melchisedec Himself and existed before any tithe was offered. It is erroneously taught that tithes taught in the Old Covenant and comments made on tithes in the New Covenant in reference to Old Covenant sum up to uphold to tithe for Christians in order of Melchisedec which some teachings made suggest the order of Melchisedec in modeled on tithes. Now where is indicated in the Holly Bible that Abraham redeemed his first born sons Ishmael and Isaac when they were born since he operated in faith in God and not under the law.

The law is not of faith. We are saved by grace from all sins of iniquities. Tithes crusaders teach well packaged tithes falsehood from the pulpit managed humbly in sheep skins. Christians are increasingly facing common mounted front in tithes falsehood which is demanded by elites clergies as a Christian doctrine in Churches.

Tithing is Unscriptural Under the New Covenant

It is easy for many unsuspecting Christian to take it as the Gospel truth. The remnant few faithful Christians must firmly remain in the narrow highway of faith and teach Christian doctrine on giving bearing in mind they stand on highways of interests of elites clergies on tithes falsehood taught with awkward elite professional church elders support. The humble craving of comfortable falsehood artistically and passionately taught on tithes by the clergy should not make Christians lose focus in Christian giving in love.

Successful prosperity based on falsehood cannot be accepted as a measure of blessing in holiness. Truth is easily dismissed but never nullified on tithes falsehood openly taught by the clergy.

Old Testament Tithes

Christians must remain Pentecostal and evangelical in the Royal Priesthood of Jesus Christ without entangling themselves in Leviticus Priesthood bound in bondage of the law. We are persuaded of better things in our work of liberty in love in salvation by Grace for God is not unrighteous to forget our work and labour of love , Hebrew6: Christ came to not to destroy the law and the prophets but to fulfill so as the enmity that was against us in the law was abolished on the cross.

Falsehood is taught that Christ came to strength the law. Please enter at least one item. Please enter the link of the website. Please enter the email address. We see the same here with Abraham. Long before the law was given, Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils to the priest of the Most High God, Melchizedek.

We are the real seed of Abraham and tithes apply to us as well. It started with Abraham and continued with Isaac and Jacob. Jacob connects the tithe with the house of God: The new covenant settles this in the letter to the Hebrews. The tithing started with Melchizedek who is a picture of Jesus as the High Priest:. And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham; but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better. Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

This means that the tithe is given to Him who lives. The offerings of money were distributed by the leadership in the Church. This enlightens the purpose of tithing. The tithe is for us today, just as it was for Abraham years before the law. But do not mix it with the tithing under the law, where they were tithing to avoid being cursed.

As we sow the seed we have received from Him, we can trust that we will receive a blessed harvest which enables us to sow even more. Former Senior Pastor at Oslo Christian Center, now spending most of his time ministering all over Norway and internationally. Giving and Tithing in the New Covenant By: May - June Found in: The Gospel of Grace In the new covenant we walk by grace and not by our own deeds.

But what about tithes and offerings? Is this something that only belongs the old covenant, or is it relevant in the new covenant as well? The generosity of the early Christians When studying the New Testament we find several examples of the generosity of the early Christians.

Collection in the Church Paul also teaches about the collection in the Church. God wants us to give out of generosity and not as a grudging obligation. Here are three important principles when it comes to offerings: A New and Better Covenant Hebrews 7 through 10 focus on the two covenants and points in particular at Christ as the priest for the new covenant. A New Covenant with a New Priesthood Hebrews chapter 7 describes what happened when Abraham returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and his allied kings and how Jesus is a priest according to the order of Melchizedek: Long before the law was given, Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils to the priest of the Most High God, Melchizedek We are the real seed of Abraham and tithes apply to us as well.

People with greater wealth could give more than those with less. In 2 Corinthians 8: Of course, giving in such a manner is only possible when you understand the gospel and love God more than earthly possessions. Generous giving is a sign of spiritual maturity and sincere love—and here, Paul challenges the Corinthian church to demonstrate the sincerity of their love for their brethren by giving to meet their material needs. Genuine love for God and growth in the Christian life will result in a mature, giving heart.

Indeed, a heart dedicated to Christ cannot help but be generous toward God and his people, often if not usually leading us to voluntarily give far more than what was required under the Old Testament tithing regulations.
