What law is
it
talking about? As quoted above, a law in which the priest
hood "have a COMMANDMENT to take tithes of the people ACCORDING TO THE LAW"
(Versesf:" -
The priesthood was changed at the founding of the ·,\Jew Testament Church
back again to the Melchisedec priesthood under CHRIST. There is therefore
a CHANGE in the TITHING LAW which COMMANDS YOU AND ME TO PAY TITHES TO
THE MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST, since Christ is now our High Priest at the
right hand of GOD! {All above quoted from Hebrews 7).
Brethren, it is not easy for me to write to you whom I dearly LOVE,
and tell you that some of YOU ARE THIEVES breaking God's holy Commandments,
and stealing from GOD--which surely
is
far worse than holding up and steal
ing from a bank!! �I-want you to think this over.
I
don
1
t know WHO you are
--I have just been informed that a shocking number of members and ministers
ARE NOT PAYING TITHES, and are giving either NO offerings, or a compara
tively small amount.
I want you to look at it as GOD looks at YOU!
Jesus said to the Pharisees, "Woe unto you, Pharisees! for you tithe
mint and �ue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love
of God: these /tithin�7 OUGHT YE TO HAVE DONE, and not to leave the other
undone" (Luke
11: 42).
You who have neglected tithing have NEGLECTED "SO GREAT SALVATION"
(see Hebrews 2:3).
The living JESUS CHRIST put TITHING in God's Church from the very
beginning of this Philadelphia era, and it has been in God's Church EVER
SINCE 31 A.O.
Hereto re I have made NO EFFORT TO CHECK OUR COMPUTER RECORDS TO FIND
OUT WHO TITHES. I surely never wanted to "snoop." But it
is
A LAW!
Neglect or refusal is MAJOR SIN!!
I am not pussy-footing! Commandment breakers won't get into the
Kingdom of God, and I am commissioned to blot out the spots and iron out
the wrinkles (Eph. 5:27) to make God's Church READY when He comes (Rev.
19:
7) .
Brethren, we are not like other people. We are not like those in
the more than 250 Protestant "Christian" denominations. We are not of this
world. We are CALLED OUT to be a separate, and a holy people.
HOW WONDERFUL! HOW WE SHOULD PRAISE GOD AND REJOICE that He has called
us to be a separate and a peculiar people! Nearly all our ministers, and
I would estimate 99% of the lay membership have proved 100% LOYAL, standing
f thfully with me and God's leaders in the terrible, illegal and unconsti
tutional onslaught of the State of California, trying to DESTROY God's
Church and Work, take over our beautiful properties at Pasadena, and them
selves personally PROFIT by taking the money. But GOD WAS WITH US, and
YOU were with us!
Yet, during recent years a few "LIBERALS" at Pasadena used my s,-:.·.
Garner Ted, manipulated authority even Ted did not have, in order to water
down GOD'S LAW within the Church.
