ITS ALL OVER FOR THE MONETARY TITHE

If there is an equality between the manna and the fruit of the land, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If Amos 2 and 8 is the amplified version of Abraham's 'I will not take', it is all over for monetary tithes.

If monetary tithes minus voluntary contributions equals thirty pieces of silver, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If the gain of oppressions 'maashaqqah' points to tithe 'maasar' it is all over for monetary tithes.

If Jesus's parable that states 'fallen amongst thieves and was wounded' parallels Isaiah 33:15, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If God is sincere about us not adding or taking away from His words, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If God was thinking 'tithe' when He said 'vow', offering encouragement to Laban's daughters to leave the one taking their silver, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If strong drink comes from the vine of Sodom, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If Jesus's offering is only of His body and blood as a priest, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If the 'tares' and the 'spots' are the 'wicked' of Malachi 3, it is all over for monetary tithes.

If Antipass was killed by a ravening wolf then monetary tithes is a likely motivator.


How many Christians know that the pattern of tithing was established in the wilderness when there was a tithe of the manna put into a pot? How many know that there was 'flesh' given to eat in the land to parallel the 'flesh' of the quail in the wilderness?

How many Christians know that Abraham's oath to not 'take to a shoe' was commented on by the prophet Amos saying that there are those who 'take to a shoe' of the poor and righteous?

How many know that there is a law saying that the tithe can be exchanged for money? Would you dare exchange the manna in the pot for money? Did you know the 'thirty pieces of silver' prophecy asks, "If you think good, give, if not forbear (don't give)." How many Christians think it 'good' to 'give' money into the storehouse.

How many Christians know that there is a 'gain to be despised' and that the monetary tithe is the only likely candidate.

When you hear the plea, pay your tithe, think, "I have fallen amongst thieves", for you have. The good Samaritan uses the oil and wine to heal the poor man. It is in Malachi 4 that the "sun arises with healing in his wings".

If it is impossible for God to lie and every word of God is pure, how do you get away with making the tithe of the corn, oil, and wine money?

God said 'vow' which is "of all that you give me (the land) i will give a tenth". The wives of Jacob then have an epiphany, our father just wants our money. There you go!!

What is the vine of Sodom doing in the storehouse? The first tithe was the goods of Sodom. Can't get away from that.

Jesus offered his body and blood as a priest after the order of Melchisedek. Melchisidek received a tithe. Jesus does not receive tithes just as Melchisedek did not offer his blood. To make your money equal to the offering of Christ is to do as Judas did, exchange Christ for thirty pieces of silver.

The wheat is gathered into the barn just as the true tithe. The tares are burned, just as the wicked are in Malachi 4. The money is bound in Deut. 14:25 just as the tares before they are burned.

The promise to give bread in Isaiah 33 is much like the Manna that Jesus promises to those who overcome. The despising of the gain is what likely got Antipass killed for there were those who did hear of blood against him.

Like any good southerner knows, you can make bread with corn and oil. Jesus is made unto us the bread of eternal life. Don't replace it with money. It is the gain to be despised. There is nothing offered alongside the offering of Christ's body and blood. Let us celebrate Him when we eat of the bread and the wine, remembering Him and what He offered on our behalf.
