BIBLE TRUTHS BUSTERS
Men of Tradions Teaching Errors
Main Error in teaching with All Christian Churches asking for money to build a new building project, or other certain projects are:

1. Neglecting the Needs of the People of The Church. - - The Preachers forget this important command in these scriptures below. Many Churches neglet the needs of Christian people in the church pews. This causes many sorrows to both the Church and the people. Preachers that have an attitude of " Can't help your needs, because I need the funds to build the new building. But give alll you can." Another time a Pastor (Robert Tilton) said on TV.... "Send me your seed of $1,000.00 and then I will pray for your needs. But only if you send the money first." This is a great sin of the mammon money trap and snare . that many do not see.

2. Giving and Tithing Attitutes of the people are NO Longer towards just giving to God, but instead their attitude is giving it to a Church project (buying something with GOD's money). Preachers are looking towards the Church members for the answers to money problems. They forget that God is totaly responsiable for all events and bills that come in. It is NOT the responsiblity of the people. We all learned Jesus provides are needs in our homes in this way!!

A True Christian Church knows that you cannot run a Church by the ways of a worldly bussiness. God's ways are totaly different when He runs the Church and their needs.

3. Preachers that only ask for money are MISSING out of the other ways that God provides. There are THOUSANDS OF LABORS that don't have money but have the time to put forth. There are millions of Christians that has resources to give in items from their business or from around home. Farmers want to give bulk food packages. However , they are all HURTING because what they have to give to push the Gospel... Preachers don't want resources materials, they want the money instead. You should read all the testimonys of Christians that have their rooms full of bibles they brought over the year at yard sales, just waiting for the Lord to direct the person where to send them all to a mission. Some have allot of wood products to give for building. The resources list is vast. PREACHERS CALL FORTH THE LABORS THAT HAVE RESOURCES to GIVE. OPEN THE DOOR FOR ALL TO DONATE any material that God puts on their hearts to give.

Every Man Will Reap What He Sows
2 Corth. 9:6-8

2 Corth 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
2 Corth 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

2 Corth 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (KJV)

BIBLE TRUTHS DECEPTION BUSTERS
Men of Tradions Teaching Errors

Too many preachers are saying that the SEED is money using verse one above. No where in the Bible is a scripture verse saying that Money is the Seed.

Bible Truth Fact . . . . . The SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD (THE BIBLE) in all Harvest parables that Jesus gave which are listed in the Bible.

Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Since the seed is NOT listed as money, but to sow the WORD of God only (the Bible and Gospel Story of Jesus).

Question ??? Why are their so many Preachers asking us to sow a seed of money???

Answer: Because they are in error of tradions of men, and don't know any better. They need to spend time reading the WORD on this subject. Jesus sent a warning letter to the Churches of Ephesisus in Revelations Chapter 2 to rebuke them on the subject of having their first love in money (sins of mammon). To remind them that they have forgot their first love towards God. In these Churches it is a duty to raise money in the Church. A Tradion of men (sins of mammon teaching) passed down through time. The sins of mammon which is the love of money breaks the law of the First Commandment in the Ten Commandment.

JESUS EXHORTS MAMMON IN HIS TEACHINGS

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Luke 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. " (KJV
