Blinded by Religion

So many in our mainstream church assemblies today are blinded by religion...

...ad they don't even realize that they are.

1.  God's Word says:

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD. (Leviticus 27:30)

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. (Leviticus 27:32)

Religion says:  

God's tithe is the tenth of your monetary income.

2.  God's Word says:  

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. (Leviticus 27:34)

Religion says:

The Ordinance of tithing was given by God for the Christian to observe.

3.  God's Word says:

But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all {Heb. the choice of your vows.}your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD: (Deuteronomy 12:10-11)

Religion says:

Tithes are to be given on every continent and in every country.

4.  God's Word says:

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, {Heb. to die.}and die. But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance. But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. (Numbers 18:21-24)

Religion says:

You give tithes to your local church.

5.  God's Word says:

And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. (Nehemiah 10:37-38)

Religion says:

Your full tithe belongs in your local church, not in someone else's hands.

Religion is leading millions away from the Word of God and away from the God of the Word.
