Who's Robbing Who?
by Ronald Ward Robey
Instead of accepting “tithes” from their Church members, Pastors/Elders/Bishops/Apostles or whatever other title they want to be identified as need to quit encouraging their congregations to tithe. Stop buying tithe envelopes. Tear up (or burn) the tithe envelopes that they’ve already purchased.
Hebrews 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
Hebrews 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
Hebrews 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
Hebrews 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
God’s Holy Word does not give them authority to receive tithes. The last place tithes are commanded in the Bible, (Hebrews 7:5-8 ) they are to be received by Levites… Not Pastors. Every time your Pastor receives tithes, he has committed an act of robbery. He has taken the property of another…that which rightfully belongs to the person he takes it from.
The commanded tithes in the Bible were never money, they were agricultural produce from the land of Israel/Canaan. Therefore to take money from the congregation under the deception of calling it God's commanded tithe is fraud and thievery.
Even if the commanded tithes in the Bible was money, the above Scripture is clear, the tithe belongs to the Levites. The pastor taking tithes on Gentile soil is still guilty of fraud and thievery.
If their members insist on tithing, they should teach them to make yearly trips to Israel to take the tithes to those whom God’s Word says are the rightful owners of His tithes… Levites, widows, orphans and strangers in Israel.
As long as Pastors/Elders/Bishops/Apostles or whatever other title they want to be identified as continue to receive tithes in their Church, as long as they continue to unjustly teach that God requires their congregation to tithe, they will remain God-robbers, for they will be robbing the rightful owners (Church Members) of their money, or the rightful owners (Levites) of their tithes.
In the Bible, God’s tithe was never commanded for, carried to, collected in, or controlled by the New Testament Church.
