Myth—Giving 10% Is A Tithe

Bible Is Clear—Some “Law” Still Active!

As convenient as it is for many to take a broad brush and sweep all of the Law [first five books of Bible] under the carpet, Paul and John’s writings confirm some of the Law still applies to our lives, even if the ceremonial laws and others do not. Read carefully who is excluded from an eternal life

in Heaven and ask yourself where the criterion comes from.

“For God’s [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,

who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative.” Romans 1:18 AMP

“Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers

will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled); neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, nor cheats (swindlers and

thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 AMP

“But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and the

faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or

anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)—[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 AMP
