Tithes for the Stranger, the Fatherless, and the Widow?

Hi -

Scriptures are from the King James Holy Bible.

What's the cost of holding onto long held beliefs that are wrong?

###

The popular and long taught message about tithing is in ERROR. Some folks who teach it are unaware that it's error; other folks who teach it ARE AWARE that it's false teaching, but they choose to teach it anyhow.

I was one of the folks who was unaware of the error until the Lord saw fit to teach me the truths about the money tithing matter.

Also:

Okay, a lot of ministers, pastors, etc. tout the tithing practice using the OLD TESTAMENT scripture Malachi 3:10, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,..."

###

Well, recently, I found this OLD TESTAMENT scripture from Deuteronomy 26:12 (I added the CAPS and bold for emphasis):

"When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the THIRD year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, THE STRANGER, THE FATHERLESS, AND THE WIDOW, that THEY may eat within thy gates, and be filled;"

###

Does anyone on here know of any ministers, pastors, etc. who are doing the THIRD year giving tithes, that they (pastors, ministers...) so faithfully believe in, to the STRANGER, the FATHERLESS, and the WIDOW - according to the OLD TESTAMENT scripture that I just cited from Deuteronomy?

There's an old saying, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."  I ask, What's up that the goose ain't giving the gander their THIRD year props?

Why are the tithe promoters SELECTIVE about which Old Testament scriptural content they use relative to tithing?

###

For real -- churches are not storehouses.  Really, what are they storing?  Example of storehouse from Genesis 41:56 - KJV, "And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; . . ."

Many pastors use Malachi 3:10, "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."

###

Okay, it says, " that there may be MEAT in mine house . . .

And why are so many folks tithing money and not coming into this part of Malachi 3:10, "I will open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT."?    Many tithers are financially challenged.  But view the mega church pastors who gain from tithers.  Where are they living, what are they driving, where are they vacationing, etc.?

Mark 7:13
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. 

1 Timothy 5:22
. . . neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

John 15:22
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

 ###

It's NOT wrong to tithe money -- what IS wrong is the popular and long taught message that it's biblically MANDATORY. False teaching people declare that tithing money is of GOD. What that false teaching is -- is MAN-DATORY.

What's encouraged according to the Bible is that people give. There are folks who VOLUNTARILY give a tenth of money -- some give more -- some give less . . .

2 Corinthians 9:7 - KJV
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 8:13 - KJV
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
