Re: Whoa, WTF??? Creflo Dollar Invokes Uzi Massacre Of Non-Tithing Church Members! Da
You are gravely mistaken
Here I will explain
Dude, the New Testament does not support tithing. It supports cheerful/willful giving and gifting. It's not exactly a 6 of one/half-dozen the other prospect. Tithing and cheerful giving may both result in a transference of valuables or money from one party to the next, but they are not fundamentally the same thing in practice of principle. You're confusing the 'giving' instructions of the New Testament with the tithing instruction of the old Testament.
Matthew 8:3
Then Jesus?yahshua said to him, "See that you don't tell anyone.
But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
Tell me if this not the messiah telling the leper to go and tithe as
commanded by moses
.And the New Testament does NOT uphold preservation of the Old laws
John 5:46
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"
Matthew 5:18
tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Acts 24:14 (NKJV) "But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.
Acts 25:8 (NKJV) while he answered for himself, "Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all."
Acts 18:21 (NKJV) but took leave of them, saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, Yahweh willing." And he sailed from Ephesus.
Roma 7:25 (NKJV) I thank Yahweh--through Yahushua the Messiah our Master! So then, with the mind I myself serve the Law of Yahweh, but with the flesh the Law of sin.
and thousands more in the new testament telling believers to obey the law. I can literally tell you where the law is quoted in the new testament but I would have to go uber collin powell. If you are interested theres a book called they Loved the torah
The only "Laws" that Christ himself and the New Testament strictly endorsed (enforced) were the 10 Commandments (which also happened to be, basically, a condensed list of 9 old Testament Laws, sans the golden idol one). So, in that regard, yes, there are Laws (with Old Testament origins) found in the New Testament, but tithing is not a commandment.
The law is not the commandments. The word for commandment is MITZAH the word for law is TORAH/NOMOS. This is another misunderstanding that christians have deceived themselves into believing. The 10 commandments are not but a small part of the law, the law is 613 mitzahs.
Theres nowhere in the bible that says the law is commandments, if you don't believe me look at a concordance or an interlinear hebrew/greek bible
Did christ not tell his disciples in Luke chapter 22 to keep passover as in leviticus chapter 23 as a rememberance of him???
Is it not in the bible that Paul and the disciples celebrated Pentecost/Shavuot a requirement from the old law?
Even the feast of tabernacles( Sukkot in the old testament) in John chapter 7???
Tell did he not tell his believers to Follow in his footsteps, live and obey just like he did. Did he not say he was showing his followers an example.
Christianity is not Judaism.
Judaism has sects and one of those sects of judaism was called the Natsarim sect. Judaism has the pharasee's or orthodox judaism as you know them, it has sadducee's or karaites etc etc. That sect is what the whole new testament is based on is called Natsarim sect, They went to synagogues, kept the law, celebrated the festivals and wore jewish clothes. Maybe you are not connecting the dots but Natsarim are mistranlated in your bibles as NAZARENES
Acts 24:5
We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world.
He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect {and thats paul they are talking about
Even Apostle Paul, the most prolific writer in the New Testament, condemned strict adherence to the Law in place of 'grace'.
Thats strange because Paul was against the oral law of the pharasees she-be-`al peh.
Tell me are there not pauls words
But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.
while he answered for himself, "Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all."
I thank Yahweh--through Yahushua the Messiah our Master! So then, with the mind I myself serve the Law of Yahweh, but with the flesh the Law of sin.
For as many as have sinned without Law will also perish without Law, and as many as have sinned in the Law will be judged by the Law 13 (for not the hearers of the Law [are] just in the sight of Yahweh, but the doers of the Law will be justified;
You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who make your boast in the Law, do you dishonor Yahweh through breaking the Law? 24 For "the name of Yahweh is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

This is why pastors still command power over the black community because most of the message is good but the final outcome is deceit.
. Even in Galatians if you look at the whole chapter it contradicts what you are claiming
