Beyond Tithing by Stuart Murray Pdf

"Tithing is biblical but not Christian." So asserts Dr. Stuart Murray in this radical examination of the contemporary practice of tithing in which the author comes to some surprising conclusions. Stuart Murray clearly explains tithing in the Old Testament and in Christian history, but then probes further, asking penetrating questions such as: "Is tithing Christian?" "Did Jesus tithe?" "Does tithing function as a regressive tax, burdening the poor while the rich get richer?" "Does tithing lead to a legalistic approach that alienates us from Jesus?" The author suspects that a lot of the current lack of interest in the church stems from deep-seated memories of the church as oppressive, uncreative, and money-grabbing. In response we should therefore learn not to calculate percentages but explore creative ways of developing communities of justice and generosity that are good news to the poor. Beyond Tithing will stimulate your thinking and challenge the dominant influence of the practice of tithing as the model for Christian stewardship.

Beyond Tithes and Offerings by Mitchell Webb Pdf

Is it biblically sound to tithe money? In its 2nd edition, Beyond Tithes & Offerings (from On Time Publishing) answers this question by directly challenging the traditional teachings of monetary tithes and offerings! Continuing from the 1998 1st edition classic, this library of biblical facts will enable you to counter and nullify each and every one of the reasons provided by fellow Christians that promote traditional tithing. Get your copy today and arm yourself with these biblical truths. Most tithing Christians are sincere in their efforts to support the church through monetary tithing. However, hidden in the shadows of this traditional practice, many Christians have lost sight of their calling to love one another. They present various arguments to defend today's version of tithing which are many, very diverse, and sometimes contradictory. Nevertheless, we have known for years that these practices distort true Christian giving, which is centered on meeting the needs of the poor, as well as those that teach and preach the Word. 2nd Edition enhancements include: Opening and Closing Arguments - A fictional court case New chapter titled, "Dispensations of Mankind" New section titled, "Test Me in This" added to "Tithing Defined" New subsection titled, "Do Tithers Receive a Spiritual Blessing?" added to "Tithing Defined" New chapter titled, "Freedom From The Curse" New subsection titled, "I Pledge to Give" added to "The Church Collection" Added a Word Index All NIV passages have been updated from 1984 to 2011 And more ... Unlike other books, Beyond Tithes & Offerings is the complete reference manual on traditional tithing and corrects years of careless biblical misinterpretation of this practice. This is not the book you sell when you are finished. Instead, refer to it every time you come face-to-face with monetary tithing practices. Thank you for your interest and support. We look forward to seeing your Amazon.com review comments.

Beyond Tithes and Offerings by Dr. J. Gayle Gaymon Pdf

Early in our Christian lives we are taught the importance of tithing and making offerings. It is a way to show our love for God and desire to live in faith under his rules. But do we really know the background and importance of the call to tithe? Dr. J. Gayle Gaymon’s Beyond Tithes and Offerings: I AM the God of Recompense takes an in-depth look at the principle of tithes and offerings under the Mosaic Law. Scriptural references are provided to support her conclusions. She considers the question, “If there is no longer Jew or Gentile, and you are grafted into God’s redemptive plan, does He require anything less from you?” The author also discusses what it means to be wholly or partially in the body of Christ and how it relates to being called a Christian. You will also learn what else it takes to be a true Christian. Beyond Tithes and Offerings: I AM the God of Recompense will expand your faith knowledge, which will help you become a better servant for God.

Giving and Tithing by Larry Burkett Pdf

Although it is better to give than to receive, giving is harder for most people. Giving is not only good stewardship; it enables the church to help those in need. Respected Christian financial expert Larry Burkett uses God's Word to show the strong biblical basis for giving to and serving in the church. Using benevolence ministries as an example, Burkett explains how God uses Christians to minister in His name. This is accomplished by giving back to God a portion of what He has graciously given.

The Trojan Horse of Tithing by Jonathan Paul Brenneman Pdf

The Trojan Horse Of Tithing is a plea to Christian leaders, written from a Charismatic/Pentecostal perspective. Jonathan Brenneman exposes the inherent problems with common tithe teachings, highlighting serious issues with even so-called "grace tithing." He demonstrates how deception starts subtly and documents the growing acceptance in mainstream Christianity of even overt teachings of salvation by tithing. Millions of people today now believe they will never even enter heaven without their tithes. No matter how much we try to dress tithe teachings up as grace, they continue to be the root of serious problems.The arguments contained here against the modern tithe tradition are thorough, compelling, and overwhelming. The gospel is worth giving not only our money, but even our lives to promote. However, modern tithe traditions have no place in this because they are not based on truth and misrepresent the way God relates to people. Rather than helping to advance, the gospel, they distort it. God is calling his church to get rid of the leaven and return to a powerful and pure gospel message!The Trojan Horse of Tithing is one of the most comprehensive overviews of multiple arguments against tithing. Few books make such a compelling case as to why tithing is incompatible with the gospel, or deal so thoroughly with less logical but emotionally powerful objections such as "but tithing works!" We include: -What could have possibly convinced strong proponents of tithing such as Derek Prince to change their minds?-Documentation and evidence of the extent of literal "salvation by tithing" doctrine in today's churches, and demonstration that this is the logical implication of even many of the most common so-called "grace tithing" teachings.-Dozens of serious logical problems with all of the common pro-tithing arguments.-A historical study on Melchizedeck and the related terms "El Elyon," "Zedek," "Salem," "Heaven," and "Earth."-11 commandments of God that churches regularly break for their tithe tradition.-9 serious problems with using Malachi as support for Christian tithing.-The history of tithing.-Contrast between the Babylonian tithe and the Jewish tithe. Which is our modern tithe tradition based on?-How the modern tithe tradition violates the statutes and the basic principles of the Jewish tithe.-What tithing and witchcraft have in common.-How tithing undermines Spirit-led giving.-How people are stepping into supernatural giving and supernatural provision without the tithe.-The historical and cultural context of ministerial support in scripture.-Why some of the world's most successful church planters see tithing as a hindrance to church multiplication.-How tithe teachings promote a poverty spirit.-A prophetic dream for the church.

Should the Church Teach Tithing? by Russell Kelly, Ph.D. Pdf

Following a thorough examination of every biblical text on tithing, Dr. Kelly concludes that the church would be best served spiritually by believing and applying better New Testament principles of giving. After discussing sound biblical reasons for Christians to replace tithing, he presents God's better principles of grace. Doctrines such as the New Testament concept of law and covenant and the priesthood of believers are presented as they affect tithing. Following several chapters which discuss disputed texts relating to pastoral support, this book traces the early development of church support as found in the Church Fathers before Nicea. This book leaves no question or objection about tithing unanswered. It is a "must read" for any serious Bible student. There is a wealth of other doctrinal insights to be gained as one goes through the Bible in search of the truth about tithing.

The Great Tithing Scam by A. Bruce Wells Pdf

Some have said that the word scam is too strong for a book that argues against the church's most sacred cow, but scam is exactly the right word because tithing has been put forth as a duty that will earn that which Christ suffered and died to freely give us. Not only is it wrong to suggest that tithing will do what Christ died to do, such as open heaven or make one right with God, but such teaching is an insult to His sacrifice and in reality, an enemy to the Cross even as circumcision was in the early church. Our ministers have been naively leading the church back under the Old Testament Law, and its curse, with imagined tithing promises that have gone way beyond even that which Malachi promised. Under the guise of obedience, faithfulness and stewardship, we've been duped into believing we must prove ourselves without realizing that practicing the Law (tithing) blocks us from becoming sons and heirs according to Galatians 4: 5. Do you know that The book of Malachi was never intended to be instruction to the New Testament church? All the ordinances in Malachi (including tithing) were nailed to Jesus' cross, according to Colossians chapter 2? Tithing is part of the Law according to Matt. 23: 23, Malachi 3: 7, and Hebrews 7: 18? The practice of tithing, the Law, can expose you to the curse of the Law causing incurable sicknesses, debt, death, and many other problems, according to the Apostle Paul in Galatians 3: 10? The practice of tithing actually removes you from the state of grace and places you back the category of sinner? Hebrews 5: 4 Tithing causes you to frustrate the grace of God, and causes Christ to profit you nothing? Galatians 2: 21 and 5: 2 Making tithing a practicetoday actually causes the New Testament to become another gospel according to Paul in Galatians 1: 6? Order The Great Tithing Scam today and find out what else tithing will or won't do.
