Radical Preachers are waging war against the churches through tithes and offerings to mislead the nations of the world making them believe that churches are established to exploit their members through payment of tithes and offerings and that there is no punishment for sinners after death adding that the church authorities preach of hell fire in order to create fear in hearts of worshippers through which they exploit their members and that there is no mansion in heaven because heaven or hell does not exist, and according to them, the rich Pastors are building their mansions here on earth and flying in jet planes deceiving their members about the existence of heaven and hell.
This kind of radical gospel has become one of the lastest inventions in order to create popularity and as a means of closing down fellow churches knowing fully well that about eighty percent of the pastors in the churches solely rely on tithes and offerings working as full-time Ministers in the Lord's Vineyard of which Jesus said that the Labourer deserves his wage .(Luke 10:7)
I have seen several churches closing down in Africa, Europe, America and in other parts of the world by the government due to radical gospel and lack of worshippers as some pastors abandoned their few members to search for jobs in order to survive.
Ironically, some of these radical preachers after using their members tithes and offerings to build their own churches and investment to become financially independent, suddenly come up with this new invention as the lastest gospel in town and make themselves very popular in social media claiming to become repented Preachers.
In contrast, some of the Pastors are still working in the Lord's Vineyard and planting churches living far way from their towns and countries as missionaries who solely depend on the church fund for their wages obtainable through the tithes and offerings and personal donations from members.
TITHES AND OFFERINGS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT ERA.
These are pronounced in the Old Testament scriptures as a shadow of the New Testament Church practice. The bulk of tithes from farm produce and cattles is quite sustainable unlike the offerings which is the New Testament Widow's mite and is not enough to sustain individual Pastors especially in smaller congregations.
Although the monetary value of tithe is not mentioned, the Priests working in the temple cannot solve all their problems through cooking and eating of the cattles and other farm produce alone because as humans they wear clothes, shoes and required other basic needs. So what they could do is to take them to the market and sell them to convert them to cash and including the Israelis living in foreign countries to be taken to Israel in cash. Consequently it is wrong to comment that Tithe is not money but of farm produce and cattles alone.( Deut. 14:24-26).
Both tithes and offerings were offered in the temple to be used by the Priests in the name of the Lord and same are the very Pastors in our churches today as fulfillment of the shadow of the Old Testament practices.
THE NEW TESTAMENT ERA
Since tithes and offerings were given in Temples, Jesus Jesus never condemned it throughout the Synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). He knew that the Church will become an institution to carry on some of the Old Testament practices excluding the blood of animal sacrifice which he had ended on the cross.
Conseqently, the New Testament Temples and practices will include tithes and offerings like the Old Testament Temple and the Priests will become the Pastors and other ministers who shall receive the Labourer wages in the Church built to replace the old Testament Temple in which he and the disciples did attend on the Sabbath Day in which he commended the woman with the widow's mite during offerings and tithes.( Luke 21:1-4 ).
Now he sent his disciples out to preach in Israel and advised them to eat whatsoever thing that is presented before them because the Labourer deserves his wage.(Luke Chapter 10)
He also preached in villages, towns and cities with his disciples which became an evangelical movement and no church was built yet. After his ascension into heaven, his disciples continued with the evangelistic movement when the church had not been institutionalized and were receiving donations from members as converts and were operating in private homes based on the fact that they were not giving the opportunity to build churches like cathedral for fear of the Old Roman Empire that resist the worshipping of another God except the Emperor.
Conseqently, the Apostles and the Christains suffered persecution and many of them were killed and some were operating in caves specially in Rome. According to BBC report, under the Vatican city in Rome, Apostle Peter's bone was found including his daughter and wife drawings on the wall being the First Bishop of Rome long before he was crucified upside down in Rome.
Conseqently, there was no permanent building yet as the church was still on the evangelical movement like the Old Testament Tabanacle know as the tent of worship in the wilderness during the time of Moses and the people of Israel. The parminent temple was built by King David (who initiated the project) and King Solomon erected it when they have settled in the Promised Land.
Similarly, later Christainity became the State Religion of the Old Roman Empire whose cathedral is known as the Roman Catholic church in which the activities of Priests and to receive tithes and offerings were restored excluding the blood of animal sacrifice which is being practice in all churches world-wide. Thus the Church Priests were ordained as full-time Ministers who were given the privilege to receive the Labourer's wages just like the Priests in the temple of old on arrival in the Promised Land.
Just as King David and King Solomon built the temple in the Promised Land, ( 1 Chronicles chapter 22 and 27 ) ruled Israel, in the same vain the Roman Catholic church ruled several nations in Europe and her colonies for 1260 years from one Succeeding Pope to another with the rod of iron as Jesus promised the churches known as the Papacy regime ( 538 AD to 1798 AD )
THE RICH AND POOR PASTORS
They are waging war against the churches whose Priests are sustained by tithes and offerings as the primary source of their livelihood as full-time Ministers.
Jesus says " the harvest is plentiful but the Labourer's are few; pray that the Lord to send more Labourers" (Mat. 9:37-38). But this radical preachers are sending the few Labourers away through their advocacy of the abolition of tithes and offerings in churches considered as exploitation from members.
About Ninety percent of the Pastors all over the world who receive tithes and offerings are poor; while only ten percent of them are rich; but this radical preachers don't attack the poor pastors but only the Rich based on jealousy, enviness and agreed as they found themselves among the poor category. The rich Pastors are measured in terms of national and international spread with thousands and millions of worshippers world-wide.
THE DANGER OF RADICAL GOSPEL
The government represents God's kingdom on earth which established Police Post to arrest criminals, judicial courts to judge criminals and prisons to imprison criminals which create fears in the hearts of her citizens to respect and obey the law as to become law abiding citizens.
Similarly, the religious body also plays the same role by preaching to the people of all nations to abstain from lawlessness as there is judgement and punishment for law breakers which is the lake of fire and to become law abiding citizens as there is paradise for those who obeys the law.
Consequently, both the Government and the religious bodies are working together to sanitize the world from lawlessness according to Romans chapter 13.
But the radical preachers are fighting against the laws of the government and the religious body in order to increase crimes in the society as follows:
They make people of the world believe that there is no hell fire or heaven that pastors are mentioning hell fire to create fear in the hearts of members in order to exploit them through tithes and offerings using several deceptive and contradictory passages in the bible to buttress their points as one of the lastest gospel in town in order to close down churches knowing fully well that most Pastors in churches solely depend on it as full-time Ministers.(Please read my article " BEWARE OF SATANIC VERSES IN THE
BIBLE"
That there is no punishment for sinners because Jesus had paid the price of sin on the cross, so that members can go ahead and be committing crimes in disobedience to the law of the government.
So the churches of the radical preachers become very popular with the lastest gospel in town through social media and become the den of rubbers and all types of criminals because according to their radical gospel, Jesus is their righteousness and no body is guilty before God and we are in the ara of Grace and infact God does not exist rather is mare imagination of the poor man with the believe that if he prays to that God he had imagined will bring him out of poverty and mentioned names of billionaires that never believe in God and yet they are rich
So committing crimes will not take you to hell and there is no heaven.That the Pastors use those teaching about hell and heaven in order to create fear to exploit their members through tithes and offerings.
Ironically, while the Church partners with the government to sanitize our society according to Romans chapter 13, these radical preachers are partnering with the criminals to disobey the laws of the government in pretext to preach against tithes and offerings exploitation from members based on jealousy, enviness and greed towards the rich Pastors as they found themselves among the poor categories of pastors.
Conseqently, the bible is banned in some countries based on those radical teachings that help criminalized the society and become a serious treat to the government and the society.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF ALL NATIONS
The afforementioned key factors are use by those radical preachers who don't preach against crimes but rather encouraging criminals through deceptive passages in the bible leading to the closure of several churches and banning of the holy bible in some countries.
It is time for the government authorities to separate the goats from the sheep in order to reduce criminal activities beguiling our society and not to punish the goats and the sheep together identified as Christians.
The Sheep are the Pastors in churches preaching against crimes in our society, while the goats are those pastors in churches preaching radical gospel to encourage criminals to disobey the laws of the government through quoting from deceptive passages in the bible which negate punishment of criminals and existence of heaven and hell as the basic tools use by almost all world religions bodies to combat crimes in partnership with the government.
A committee should be formed to monitoring the teachings of radical Pastors to ensure they preach messages from the bible that compliment government effort to fight crimes through partnership with the government in accordance with Romans chapter 13.
