We have come to expect this kind of rhetoric from Non-Tithers!
Why do you guys despise Tithers? Did a Tither hurt you or hit you or did a TITHE envelope or Tithe basket somehow injure you? ROFL!
You guys get more hilarious by the day with your changing stories!
I mean this, well, I didn't mean that, I said this, but I meant that, I said paid, but I meant give, I said Tithe but I mean something else............. I make a challenge but when I lose - I just write a bunch of gobble de gook to make it seem like I know what I am talking about. ROFL!
Face it - The FACT IS - YOU LOSE! You lose by not TITHING and then YOU LOSE by trying to lead people into your ANTI-TITHE false doctrine!

When you lay your head down tonight - know that YOU LOST your challenge and the WORD OF GOD still stands and that.....TITHERS ARE WINNERS and NON-TITHERS are LOSERS!

Listen to you...

I'm simply saying that we are not bound by the law, nor are we bound by 10%, Christ desires 100%. And it's a proven historical fact that the early church didn't tithe, especially among the gentiles and after the Temple was destroyed with regards to Jewish believers.

You can kick, scream, spit, fuss, cuss, or whatever else you like. That's an absolute fact. Most early Christians were slaves that met in barns, homes, and in meadows to worship Jesus. They had little to nothing and rejoiced in their Lord. They didn't "tithe". Besides, the tithe was bound to the land, was agrarian, and didn't extend to tradesmen. You're just convinced of an error taught by the money making enterprise of religion.

Brag all you want about robbing God, One day you will regret every thin dime you steal out of that dollar!

Thieves and robbers usually do accumulate quite a few things - but in the end, when they are caught - they lose it all!
TITHERS ARE WINNERS and NON-TITHERS are LOSERS!

Definition of THIEF: one that steals especially stealthily or secretly; also : one who commits theft or larceny

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (NKJV)

Proverbs 6: 30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry; 31 But if he is found out, he must restore seven times [what he stole]; he must give the whole substance of his house.(AMP)

Same here. lol

I do more than give God my 10%... I've given Him my entire life.

For some odd reason, some part of me feels like Atlanta Bishop is just playing Devil's advocate. AB, if you are, you are doing really good...

But those who teach it as it was under the law... they are under the curse of the law.

By the grace of God, we can give more than 10%. The way I see the 10% is more in line with Prov 3:9

I think he actually believes what he saying, but having some fun with it while serious at the same time. While entertaining hasn't given him much credibility on the subject.

What does prov 3:9 have to do with tithes?

It has nothing to do with tithes. I meant that under grace, we are to honor the Lord with our increases not for salvation but to honor him.

Nothing. This was written under the Law. Far too many Apostolics don't even understand what covenant we're under and what it means.

They arbitrarily pick and choose laws, rules, and regulations to live by from all over the Bible based on personal opinion. Thus obeying God becomes entirely subjective and there is no unity on the issue.

If you were to ask them what the Father's sole desire is for their soul... they'd not be able to tell you.

I can see honoring God by one's giving. But we are no longer under law.
