The Tithe Question for Faithful Christians


Featured Article by David Aguilar

INTO THE STOREHOUSE

YAH says to All Christian Believers:

 

   "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts." Mal. 3:8-12 [KJV].

1. WHY PAY TITHES AND OFFERINGS?

    We understand that everything in heaven and earth belongs to YAH according to 1 Corinthians 10:26:

"FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS."

    When we give money to His church we are not giving YAH our money in an act of charity; we are merely returning to Him that which is already rightfully His. Tithing is an act of obedience as outlined in Malachi 3:10. Not only do we tithe 10% of our "increase" (income), but true and faithful Christians joyfully, liberally, regularly, and lovingly give to others. "At this time you have plenty. What you have can help others who are in need. Then later, when they have plenty, they can help you when you are in need, and all will be equal" (2 Corinthians 8:14).

2. CONSIDER THE PRINCIPLE OF SOWING AND REAPING

    The most concise example of this principle is found in 2 Cor 9:6 -8 [NASB]:

"Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;"

The Savior encourages us in Luke 6:38:

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

     NOTICE: If you give in thimbles, you receive back in thimbles. If you measure in sacks, you receive a hundredfold in sacks.

"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.  A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed."  Prov 11:24-25.

3.  WHERE CAN CHRISTIANS SEND TITHES WHEN THEY REALIZE THEIR OBLIGATION TO RETURN TITHES TO YAHWEH?

    You should support "the truth as it is in YAHSHUA [Jesus]."  We advise you to donate tithes where you are being fed spiritually.  If the Creation 7th Day Adventist message is feeding you, then why not support that message with your faithful tithes and offerings?  The following address will receive and distribute funds to their sacred trust:

    Should you require a receipt, please indicate whether you need a monthly accounting or merely the end of year statement.  Thank you for your prayers and financial support.
