Tithe

Is giving 10% of what you earn to God through the needy often and not necessarily a church, maybe a charity.  The scripture under ” Robbing God” is in the end of the book of Malachi on this.  The promise listed there is that if a person does this that God will pour our such a blessing to you that you will not be able to hold it.  It is God’s promise not man’s, and God goes as far as to challenge believers saying test me in this.  There are multitudes of Christians who testify what this has done for them.

The Golden Rule:

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU
_____________________________________________________
The Ten Commandments
1.  I am The Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, you shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down or worship them; for I The Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. But showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for The Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name
4. Observe the sabbath day keeping it holy.
5. Honor your father and mother, as The Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. 

Jesus expands on adultery in Matthew 5 saying that if a man even looks lustfully at a woman he has committed adultery with her in his heart. And with the sabbath he teaches it is ok to do work as long as you are helping someone, as he healed others on the sabbath. This showing Jesus’ authority to change the Jewish law and he expanded on other commandments.

WISDOM

The most prosperous time in Israel’s history was under the author of the Proverbs as King. 666 Talents was the annual duty of gold brought into THE LORD’S Temple, and even the poor had money.  The 666 a hint to what happened to that generation after they fell away to idols and met slavery in Iraq.
PRO 1:2
“The purpose of these proverbs is to teach people wisdom and discipline, and to help them understand
wise sayings.”

MT 11:19 “…wisdom is shown to be right
by what results from it.”

Prayer
PROMISES : 
1.When you bear fruit that lasts eternal (according to Jesus).
2.When you ask for things in Jesus’ name.
3.Where two or more come together to pray for something.
4.When you have the faith the size of at least a mustard
seed. When you do these things what you ask for in 
prayer will be given, according to the will of The 
Father.
5.Persistence in prayer is mentioned but may be the 
least efficient avenue, as in the Old Testament The 
Lord saying the people were so wicked, that even if 
they came into the temple to pray, that He would not 
listen. Jesus lends the example of Jonah to this 
generation. 
Proverbs 10:24: What the wicked dreads will overtake 
him, what the righteous desire will be granted.
Proverbs 15:29 The Lord is far from the wicked but He 
hears the prayer of the righteous.
James 5:16 The prayer of a righteous man is powerful 
and EFFECTIVE.
Jeremiah 29:12-13 Then you will call upon me and come 
pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will find me 
when you seek me with all your heart.

EXPEL THE IMMORAL BROTHER/DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH
” You must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother ( A Christian) but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler.  With such a man do not even eat.” ( I Cor 5:11)

(The Rationale Behind This)
I Cor 6:9:  Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?  Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor the drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.  Heb 10:29 : ” How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him.”  Not associating, expelling, is a disciplinary measure to keep the person from going further into wrath’s way.  Hopefully the entertainment of folly wears off and the person comes back to rational decision making while expelled from the body.

Avoid 7 Deadly Sins

Lust, anger, greed, envy, sloth, gluttony, pride.

The Unitarian truth about The Bible:

The shortcut is to read the Ten Commandments and see that Yahweh (THE FATHER) ( the original true and correct Hebrew translation of the name “The Lord”) claimed to be the only God.  Many a manipulating preacher will try to tell you otherwise, but those claims are not backed by King James’ text.  Why site King James? Because it is the oldest Protestant Bible ( this comes from a different Latin text root than The Catholic Bible), backed by the hearty Dead Sea Scrolls.  The phrases God The Son, God The Holy Spirit, and God The Holy Ghost are not in The King James, only the phrase “God The Father” appears.  There are many intersections in a Bible where Jesus’ actions or words are given over to man’s translation of what is happening, but it is that, man’s addition of words which conjure up the God Christ, not the actual text, and not God The Father’s  literal verification.

Even with Jesus  falsely accused and about to be stoned for claiming to be God, upon examination those words never came out of Jesus’ mouth.  Is he being framed? The instruction by Psalm and Proverb are to not add words to God’s flawless word. The principle of being one with God is shared by many in The Bible, not just Jesus. When Jesus speaks “figuratively” in The Bible he reveals not every word is to be taken by one definition.  Such are the trinity manipulations, the translations which try to claim Jesus is The Lord God Almighty, they are not backed by God The Father’s literal word.  John chapter 1 for example pits Jesus as the creator of the universe, or only creator of everything that is born again?  Isaiah, the Dead Sea Scrolls that is, show that God The Father created the universe, not Jesus.   The Lord translates as Yahweh, not Jesus.  Jesus says yes there are many “lords”, but Psalm 110 shows him to be a different lord than The Father, in the order of Melchizedek, Abraham’s priest, who is also found in Revelation.

This is in the King James, newer Bibles changed verses to make things say Jesus is God outright. Go research the verses in the KJ and you will see the manipulations. There are basic definitions of I, Me, and You, which God The Father uses to describe Himself, and Jesus the exterior  Son to Him.  For a trinitarian to claim Jesus is literally one with God goes beyond anything God The Father ever said Himself.  Look at the entire Old Testament, no one worshipped a Holy Spirit or Jesus as God.  Even the wise men are only mentioned to have worshipped Jesus, but it does not say as God.  Like the disciples worshipping Jesus as “the Son of God” in a boat.  It says no more than that? No verse exists that equates being the Son of God, or one with God, or about your work, to being God. The New Testament holds the same all the way through, no one clearly worships Jesus or The Holy Spirit as God, and definitely God The Father never verifies in His own words there are three Gods in Christianity.  Even when Jesus is claimed to be Almighty, The KJ does not say Lord God Almighty.  So maybe it means almighty among men, but I would not sign Jesus up to be his Father without permission.
There is never mention ever once in The Bible of punishment or example thereof for a person being Unitarian.

Being Unitarian actually was the instructions to all of Israel and Jesus’ disciples, no God before The Father!  Moses was never punished for KEEPING this and neither was Matthew.  These guys never worshipped a trinity, so who labeled them as such?  Don’t expect any major or minor prophets or disciples or apostles either to give you evidence, it is not there in KJ.  No not as a direct claim, that Jesus is God.    Show me all the so called verses that claim Jesus to be God, and I will show you each one of them to not be  sound proof to overturn the First Commandment.  They are only ambiguities, which man building upon is not enough   to not add words to God’s “flawless” word. Those were His instructions, not mine.
