| WHAT IS EVERYONE INTERESTED IN UNTIL THEY HEAR IT?  WHAT DO MOST CLAIM TO BE SEARCHING FOR, SEEKING… UNTIL they learn how it will change their life? WHAT IS IT that only a “…FEW there be that find it?” ANSWER: THE REAL BIBLE TRUTH “Enter you in at the strait gate…Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.” (Matt. 7:13-14) Time and again we see when the Bible truths come to light… suddenly the discussion ends…and so does the interest. BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS: “Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits……every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit…”(Matt. 7:15-17) SOME BIBLE TRUTHS: (1). The New Testament Sabbath is not Sunday. It is Saturday, the 7th day of the week: “There must still be, therefore, a Seventh Day rest reserved for Yahweh’s [“God’s” NJB] people…” (Heb. 4:9-11; New Jerusalem Bible; see also Lk. 4:16) (2). The Apostle Paul Practiced Old Testament: “But this I confess to you, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the Elohim (“God”; KJV] of my fathers, believing ALL things which are written in the Law and the Prophets..” (Acts 14:14) “…not the hearers of the Law are just before Yahweh [“God”, KJV], but…doers of the Law shall be justified.”(Rom. 2:13) (3). The Biblical Holy Days and New Moons are still binding: “Let no man therefore judge you…in respect of an Holyday of the New Moon, or of the Sabbath days: Which are [present tense] a shadow of things to come…” (Col. 2:16-17) Editor’s Note: There is no command in the law to keep new moons which are the first day of each month. The only exception to that is that Feast of Trumpets is a new moon day and also an annual holy day (Sabbath). Laura Lee (4). Tithing is not on money but on agricultural produce; money is never mentioned in tithing laws: “…tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s, it is holy unto Yahweh.” (Lev. 27:30) “…the tithe of the herd, of the flock…whatsoever Passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.” (Lev. 27:32) Where is money mentioned in those Laws? Read these publications: “Why Do You Tithe on Money?” and“Biblical Tithing is NOT on Money” Editor’s Note: If you want to tithe on money, there is no law against doing so.

Regard to Editor’s Note:
“If you want to tithe on money, there is no law against doing so. Laura Lee”
While that true, the problem is that most all who tithe on money have been, and are, taught that the Bible teaches they are required to give 10 percent of their monetary income to some minister or church. The Bible does not teach that, men do.
You are arguing your point with the wrong person as we do not teach that a 10% tithe is required. We also do not collect money from anyone for any reason, but I believe that you do collect money from people through your web site.
I for many years gave first, second and third tithes as we were taught in Worldwide. As I have been retired now for 22 years I know I have been blessed.
However, in studying the tithe subject some years ago I agree it was never biblically commanded. Mark 12:13-17 and Matt.22:15-21 both relate our Savior saying to his questioners, who’s image and superscription was on their money? It was the governor at that time. Currently our money is set up the same way. Render to Caesar what is his and to God what is His. So I do not think his answer would be any different now. The Israelites had physical money also back then but they were not commanded to tithe on it. Only on what came out of the ground or their animals.
Truth. Spot on. That was the point of my comment earlier.
