Great message, straight to the point. That’s really missing these days… God I just lift up the Elders and leadership team on the ground to you, be with them, lead them as they lead your people, Father I pray for your grace, mercy and favor over them. Amen Love from SA❤️

We should definitely be praying for our leaders yes! I appreciate God leading us to a biblical teaching church in SA. We need to hear more teachings like this in the churches ⛪️.

Tithing isn’t in the New Testament, in fact it’s only in the old and only for the Israelites, giving is in the New Testament, and Jesus invites us to sell what we have and give to the poor, to receive treasure in heaven . …because use you mentioned challenge you on anything unbiblical Andrew👍🏽

I’d just like to point out a few inaccuracies and mistakes in your comment. Please note, this is written with respect and honor towards you, however, I cannot in good Conscience let this misunderstanding play into the weak sinful nature of onlookers who will be lead astray because of your comment. As I hope you are aware the Bible speaks sternly to those that lead his people astray, especially because you have no done a great job at explaining yourself on a public platform (KZbin comments). Inaccurate information: 1. Tithing isn’t in the New Testament Matthew 23:23 Luke 11:42 Hebrews 7:1-8 1 Timothy 5:18 1 Corinthians 9:12 (Paul calls it a right) 2. Only for the Israelites Genesis‬ ‭14‬:‭19‬-‭20 (Tithe (tenth), before the law and before the nation of Israel was formed) Genesis 28:21-22 (same thing) Numbers‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬ ‭‬‬(tithe was established only here, however, note the previous scriptures that show this before the law) 3. Additional Biblical principals to consider God’s full time workers deserve a pay for their Spiritual work among us: ‭‭1 Timothy 5:18 (principal to pay God’s workers) 1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ (Financial pay again) 1 Corinthians 9:12 (Paul calls it a right) Despite him not using it, it’s his right to decide or not. 4. Ending remarks I’d just like to end with this, challenging a leader in the House of God on an area of doctrine, on KZbin comments is dishonourable. Don't hide behind the fact that you yourself won’t be challenged or confronted and you use that freedom to say what you want without reproach. Honestly, I don't believe that randomly challenging an area of doctrine, especially a topic not even spoken or explored in the video in the comment section of KZbin is useful or the correct approach, do you think that’s going to reflect Christ or bring about a fruitful discussion? I’d recommend you rather seek out contact information, or messages on Facebook if you want to have a fruitful conversation and actually challenge an area or doctrine correctly. Don’t just throw stones, and potentially lead people in the wrong direction by claiming something is unbiblical without properly explaining your position... Please don't take this the wrong way but rather challenge doctrine in a better way and not in the KZbin comment section. God bless! :)

Additionally: People love money and it’s the biggest modern day idol; consider this too: As I’m sure you are aware money is a huge idol today in this day and age. Jesus even reveals that the love for money is attached to the demonic and he also states that you cannot serve both God and money. Jesus talks a lot about money, this should in tension with everything I have already mentioned be a big indicator to rather think twice about endorsing peoples love for money by insinuating that the tithe is not biblical in the New Testament, because if you truly believe what you have said, whether right or wrong, you should of communicated it correctly and comprehensively If you want to share you thoughts in a public manner. Again keeping in mind the fact that the love for money is so prevalent in our day and age I’d caution you against endorsing it especially when remembering this: “If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6 No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24 ““Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

None of the New Testament scriptures you quote mention tithing, they talk about appropriate giving,
