7-15-2017-GIVING TO THE POOR OVER THE CHURCH
MATTHEW 19:21 = YAHSHUA SAID TO THE RICH MAN, IF YOU WILL BE PERFECT, GO AND SELL THAT YOU HAVE AND GIVE TO THE POOR AND YOU SHALL HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN: AND COME AND FOLLOW ME.
"REMARKS"
IS IT NOT TRUE, WHEN WE GIVE TO THE POOR, WE GIVE TO THE POOR BUT WHEN WE GIVE TO THE CHURCH, WE GIVE TO THE CHURCH, WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN. DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN YOU GIVE TO THE CHURCH YOU GIVE TO YOURSELF, WOULDN'T IT BE MORE BLESSED TO GIVE TO THE POOR AND NOT TO YOURSELF?
YAHSHUA ALWAYS SAID TO GIVE TO THE POOR AND ONLY WHEN THERE WAS A PHYSICAL TEMPLE WHEN THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD WAS TAKING CARE OF THE TEMPLE, THE SCRIPTURES WHERE YAHSHUA COMMANDED THAT TITHES BE GIVEN TO FEED THOSE OF THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD WHO HAD NO INHERITANCE OF THE LAND BUT THEIR INHERITANCE WAS YAHWEH HIMSELF. THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD WAS GIVEN LAND TO KEEP THEIR TITHES, WHY NEED LAND TO KEEP THE TITHES? BECAUSE TITHES ARE NOT MONEY BUT FOOD PRODUCTS INCLUDING SHEEP-GOATS-CATTLE AND WINE AND OIL AND WHEAT.
MONEY SUCH AS GOLD AND SILVER IS CALLED FREEWILL OFFERINGS WHICH ARE GIVEN BY SAINTS FOR THE FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL BUT IT IS NOT TITHES.
WE MUST REMEMBER THIS, WHEN THERE WAS A PHYSICAL TEMPLE THE NEED FOR THE TITHES WAS VERY IMPORTANT NOT ONLY FOR THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD BUT FOR THE POOR, THE WIDOWS, AND THE STRANGER BUT TODAY THE TEMPLE IS MADE FROM HEAVEN, MEANING ME AND YOU WHO ARE BORN AGAIN AND CALLED THE SAINTS, WE ARE THE TEMPLE AND THE CHURCH.
OUR DESIRE AS THE TEMPLE OF YAHWEH IS TO DO WHAT THE PHYSICAL TEMPLE DID IN THE OLD DAYS AND THAT IS TO GIVE TO THE POOR, THE WIDOWS AND THE STRANGERS. THIS IS THE TRUE TEACHING OF OUR REDEEMER KINSMAN YAHSHUA.
