“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.”
King James Version (KJV)

MALACHI 3:10 DOES NOT...
...Instruct any Christian to tithe.
...Instruct the tithing of money; AKA, monetary tithing.
...Address New Testament Believers.
...Authorize any New Testament minister to collect tithes in any form.
...Require a Gentile to tithe.
...Require any tithe to be surrendered off the Land of Israel.
...Assign any tithe given to anyone by God, including the tithe given to the Tribe of Levi, to any person under the New Testament.
...Promise great wealth to any individual.
...Address any individual, but rather the Nation of Israel.
...Provide curses against any Christian for not tithing.
Anyone referring to Malachi 3:10, or any other scripture speaking of tithing, as authorization to collect tithes from anyone under the New Testament, IS A LIAR.
>>> The Short Version; concerning the Book of Malachi.
MALACHI CANNOT BE USED TO INSTRUCT ANY CHRISTIAN TO TITHE...
> Malachi 1:1 - Malachi is speaking to the Nation of Israel, not the New Testament Church.
"The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi."
> Malachi 1:6 - Malachi is speaking to the Nation of Israel and the corrupt Priests of Aaron that despise God's name, not the New Testament Church.
"...saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name."
> Malachi 2:1 - The command to bring a portion of the Temple tithe to the Temple storehouses to support the porters and singers is to the corrupt Priests of Aaron, not the New Testament Church.
"And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you." (cross ref. Nehemiah 10:37-39).
> Malachi 3:9 - This verse makes is very clear that the God robbers were from the Nation of Israel, not the New Testament Church.
"Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation." Note: "THIS whole nation (the Nation of Israel who Malachi is addressing)," not the New Testament Church. The New Testament Church is NOT the Nation of Israel. Also, the Nation of Israel were called by God to return to Him, which for p

I very much like your post Alex and agree. Connecting Scriptures together. Right in line with 1 Peter 1:7:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
God Bless you brother!

Comments by Alex about Judgement, the lake of fire. His baptism of the H.G. AND FIRE. That what the world needs is judgement, The world is mankind,Its mankind that needs a new heart and a new spirit. There is absolulty nothin wrong with this beautiful earth, The new earth and new spirit is simply our new innerman,our new hearts and our new spirit.Its mankinds demonic nature,our carnal minds etc that needs to be destroyed.God is not gonna destroy this beautiful earth as Isaiah said as the new earth and the new heaven shall remain so shall thy Seed and Name remain. The seed of the sower is gonna form a new innerman in us thus the new earth.Man has always been symbolic of th earth. The 1st man was of the earth earthly but the 2 nd man is the lord from heaven, thus the new earth is simply Christ in us. which is the H.G. HIS NAME SAKE. Thus that lake of fire is simply another Jordan a river of life etc As our God is a consuming fire, EVERY liar ( sinner ) shall have their part in the lake of fire,THATS EVERYBODY NO EXCEPTIONS We need that lake of fire its simply his baptism of fire and the H.G.Who shall abide the day of his coming, Who shall stand when he appears, for he shall be as a refiners FIRE and fullers soap.mal 3 the 2 nd coming that refiners fire is his lake of fire as our God is a consuming fire. there is absolutlty nobody that is gona escape the lake of fire Just as nobody cd escape the curse of Adam, Not one, thus Nobody can escape the blood of the lamb, Thats y they call his the 2 nd ADAM NOBODY CAN ESCAPE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,if i be lifted up i will draw ALL MEN unto me, thus nobody can escape the blood of the lamb that 2 nd ADAM. TY JESUS. NOT 1 SINGLE PERSON CD ESCAPE THE CURSE OF ADAM,Thus not 1 single person can escape the blood ( the blessing of the lamb ) Thus every person will have their part in the lake of fire,The great cleasing. The lake of fire was for satan and his angels AND mankinds carnal mind which is in rank with satan. Thank YOU JESUS.

People love the power money and such gives them over others but you can never buy a true love with money and to gain money is stripping the earth of all it and changing the order set for it! The earth is alive just as we are it heals itself, cleanse itself, plants itself, it was meant to be be helpful to give us life meant to be a garden that we could all simply walk and eat no need for even shelter as before the flood there was not even rain or storms! People have tried to change the order so destroying all as prodigal children! All for the power they can gain over others so destroying even themselves and their children! When you are all harmed or suffer you all cry for the order but then otherwise deny it so you all remain as stuck in a bottomless! Symbolic for making the same mistakes over and over the only way out of the pit is wisdom to the order set for all creation by the father of all creation!

Like faith is simply a name put to something more than just belief it is only the beginning and made whole when you know! Do not stay in belief as the sheep know it and teach it become the shepherd pastor the people!
You can know though the right judgement of all things to the order set for all creation by the father of all creation! Also known as the order of the father!

Prayer is simply a name put to something more than as a tool for teaching and learning like talking or thinking to yourself or out loud when you talk to self or others you are also talking to God you just name it as the spirit of God's wisdom that is coming from your mouth and your head
Teboho's comment on 2020-06-10 10:10:22:
Thank Adam for that, it makes sense.
Adam's comment on 2020-06-10 08:09:06:
Hi Teboho,
I believe praying should be genuine and come from the heart. I think it should not be selfish or materialistic. I think ones motives should be pure in the prayer request, because we are not supposed to follow the world or its riches, but follow Jesus and seek our treasures in heaven, not on Earth. Matthew 6:19-20. God says we can ask for anything through faith- it should be through love too. 1 Corinthians 13:2, Matthew 21:21-22.
Given that info, I think it's ok to privately pray to be able to pay your debts and bills and for job increases and to tithe to help others. I would be careful praying for material possessions, however, because where is the heart? What is the motive? Is the goal to built treasures on Earth or in heaven?
Hope that perspective is helpful. God bless you!

someone asked for Luke 21:12 be explained;I think that verse 12 is a carry over from verse 11 where Jesus was describing events immediately preceding the end of the age.Verse 12 begins with,But before all these things.....I believe that verses 12 to 24 describes the period between the time of the discourse and future Tribulation Period.His Disciples would be arrested,persecuted,tried before religious and civil powers,and imprisoned.
,It could have felt like failure and tragedy to the Disciples,but GOD overruled it to make it a testimony for His glory.They did not have to prepare their defense in advance.In their hour of crisis they were not to worry about what to say,because GOD said:settle it in your minds not to meditate before hand how to answer,for I give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.I believe that when that day if it ever appears in our Christian lives,we will stand fast in our faith and never deny,our belief in GOD,because He will give us what we will say.But as far as the rapture,verse 12 is not speaking of this.Read verses 6 thru 11 you will understand what verse 12 is saying.

Give to the poor, and not to the church alone. Give to the people who are in need... If your church is organizing outreach to the poor and needy, then you can entrust your resources to them, otherwise, give it to the poor personally. feed the hungry.
Isaac's comment on 2015-04-20 23:24:39:
Tithe, is God 's command with promise and God is not mocked whatever a man soweth so he shall reap. Practically speaking I have experienced abundance through tithing, I have experienced good health without visiting hospitals for years via tithing, I have experienced peace of mind, success and answered prayers by obeying the Lord through tithing. I have also experienced the opposite by not obeying this principle, and this is because of fear of ability to meet up with other concerns that the Lord says we should cast unto Him for He cares for us all. In a nutshell, I have never seen a man that trade with the Lord and loose, God doesn 't owe us His desire is to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory, remember we are not talking of earthly reward alone, but heavenly treasures, domain where canker-worms, devourer and caterpillars, can 't reach. So I employ people to obey the Lord in everything, because He is the provider of what we possess and moreover we can 't hide anything from Him. Finally also bear in mind that the scripture also says faith without work is dead. The act of paying tithe is a progeny between faith and work -so pay the tithe.

Abraham and Jacob gave tithes for sure to God! There was no church building. I believe it 's important to give to the church but we ate not under any law and God 's children should know whether they gave it to a single mother or whatever good means from your heart He will it. By Jesus Christ and the work of the cross were good! Even in Malachi it was the priest eh stole from God! Please read in context and stop binding up God 's children the work is finished for by grace we have... not of works!!! Eph. 2 8,9 Give to God don 't be under the spirit of condemnation. Please someone show us through His word one place in the NT where tithing specifically to the church is written? I can 't find it. Please let 's love and continue to give but may the church get there foot off the necks of God 's people with this lie!

The word of God is forever true. Malachai 3 10 is a command with a promise. Obey it and receive the attached promise. Disobey it and get the reverse

Giving tithes is a sigh of obediance to god
