Things Every Believer Should Know Pertaining To Them.
Why Church Services don’t satisfy and where Issues on Tithing come in!
Truth of the matter is “Christian Tithes” we practice Today does not date back to the EARLY CHURCH and that’s why the Fathers In the Faith fought against it. This is all accounted for in Church History.
TRUE FACTS about Tithing have been discovered about the real origin of 'Christians Tithing' for some time now – how and where it really began and most Christians have not been informed. It isn’t the ‘holy picture’ of Early Christians tithing, it’s drastically different to the imaging we have been led to believe (in ignorance) for generations now.
Both Christians and Pastors alike have been misled because Tithing IS for the JEWS under God’s Covenant with Israel as clearly portrayed in the Old Testament. It only becomes cloudy (more than that) when you try to MIX and Match Scriptures into some Hybrid Teaching, which we have Today because it is stated in Early Church History that it actually commenced Five Centuries after JESUS and the APOSTLES and the Early Fathers of the Faith fought against this for 400 years. It was the Papacy of Rome that introduce them, and it was not a Godly Practice Christians suppose it to be.
SO WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE TITHE? AND WHY DID THEY INTRODUCE IT?
IT WAS TO SUPPORT A CHURCH SYSTEM THAT COMMENCED IN THE TIME OF CONSTANTINE WHEN HE WILLFULLY CHANGED THE WAY EARLY CHURCH CHRISTIANS DID THINGS OVER TO A STATE INSTITUTION. THAT’S WHERE THE PRACTICE OF “LEADERSHIP” AND MENTALITY COMMENCED……RELIGIOUS MONARCHY and AGENDAS Etc. THEY ALL RELATE TO THAT TIME.
WHY IS ALL THIS SO IMPORTANT? BECAUSE IT EXPLAINS A LOT OF THINGS. WHY THEY ARE NOT AS THEY SHOULD BE. THIS DISAPPOINTS JESUS AS MUCH AS IT DOES US……..WHY THE CHURCH OVER ALL IS IN SUCH A POOR STATE and SOCIALISTIC GOSPEL. IT ALSO EXPLAINS WHY WE DON’T SEE THE HEALINGS and MIRACLES WE BELIEVE IN VERY OFTEN.
FIRSTLY FOR THIS EXERCISE, WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE WORDS OF JESUS
ADDRESSED TO HIS APOSTLES and TO US ALL TODAY. SHALL WE GO?
Mark 10:42,43
So Jesus called them (His Disciples) together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials exercise their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant…….”
So “Leadership” and Hierarchy was the “Way of the Gentiles” of that Day. Not appropriate for Christians (the Body of Christ). As stated here, it was Jesus expressed wishes that the Church He was speaking of had a different expression and purpose to what we see Today with the System of Local Churches and Denominations, but rather, His Body was to have a FUNCTION (as a Family, that’s personal) not a SYSTEM (that’s a Worldly Order of things, impersonal).
That’s the very thing the Roman Emperor Constantine (a Gentile) deliberately introduced to Christianity when he changed the order of things that was set up by the Apostles themselves to a State Institution, so he could have control over it and Weaken the Fiber of the Body of Christ (his express purpose) and he did exactly that – it was directly opposed to the New Testament Pattern of the Early Church. Not a good thing.
Rather, it is a HYBRID form of Christianity we have to this Day. Church History reveals that TITHES were Introduced – not by a Command of God – to support that Worldly Gentile System (that Jesus didn’t want) and that problem Exists to this Day.
Both the Hybrid Structure and The Tithe to support it. In actual Fact, every time we “Pay Our Tithes” WE are Supporting that very same System – just different men and women in “Leadership”
THIS DOES NOT MAKE JESUS HAPPY, IT MAKES HIM SAD
Why? Because this Constantine System Suppresses TRUE CHRISTIANITY
and the True Blessings that accompany it.
That’s what we need to See Restored, more than ever.
That’s why there are not many Healings and Miracles.
The Power of God Believers Moved in Waned when Constantine had his way.
Many Pastors are strongly resisting the HOUSE CHURCH MOVEMENT which is Growing Today
But this is a Move of the Holy Spirit towards the “Restoration of ALL things pertaining to His Church”
GOOD HEALTHY CHRISTIANITY – Not what we have Today!
So if you’re a Pastor, be careful you don’t find yourself resisting God Himself
as things CONTINUE to CHANGE and they Will.
Yes Christ did not Commission His Church to “Provide you an Income”
In reality, that’s why Pastors are rejecting this Move so strongly
It upsets their Comfort Zone. That’s to be expected.
But a Word of Truth here:
CHRIST CANNOT RETURN while Christians are Playing Church
But when Scriptures are Fulfilled pertaining to HIS CHURCH the Body of Christ
Because He is not Coming for a Powerless Defeated Church
He is Coming for a Glorious Bride of True Believers passionately
Expecting His Return.
“COME LORD JESUS!”
