Priesthood Understanding
Under the Levitical arrangements the office of the priesthood was limited to the tribe of Levi, and to only one family of that tribe, the family of Aaron. There was certain laws respecting the qualifications of priests which were given in (Lev. 21:16-23), and there were also ordinances regarding the priests' dress given in (Ex. 28:40-43) and the manner of their consecration to the office was given in (29:1-37). Upon examination of the book of scriptures, we learn that their duties were manifold in which you can examine them in (Ex. 27:20, 21; 29:38-44; Lev. 6:12; 10:11; 24:8; Num. 10:1-10; Deut. 17:8-13; 33:10; Mal. 2:7). They represented the people before the Most High and they offered various sacrifices that were prescribed in the law, in which these things in which they did, were a shadow of him who would represent the people before the Most High and offer himself up once for the sins of all, in which that him spoken of was the Saviour the coming Messiah, which you can examine that in Heb 10:10 -12 or pretty much the whole chapter. Much confusion is there today in what is known or professed as being the church, and because of the lack of knowledge the people have, the pastor is able to get away with highway robbery and smooth deception.
Sow A Seed Into The Harvest And Reap Give Your First Fruits Is Stolen From The Law
You hear these pastors telling the people that the Law is done away with, and telling them to sow into the harvest their first fruits and they shall reap for its harvest season, but yet forget the harvest and first fruits is not found in the New Testament, but instead found in the Law back in Leviticus 23rd chapter. So how can these schools teach them the law is done away with, but yet teach them to use the Law as a way to make money off the people? This is clear deception folks, TD Snakes, Creflo Got Your Dollar, Benny Ends, Joyce Liar, Fredrick For A Price, Joel Oscheme, Robert Partially, Eddie Money Long, all use this deception upon their members without no remorse, cause its keeping gas in their porche. Wakeup folks, this is why they tell you not to read the Old Testament but instead focus on the New Testament, because if you did read it you would discover they been operating from the same Law that they have been telling you is done away with. In Matthew 10:8 it says - Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. If the Most High gave them these gifts they claiming to have freely, then why would they turn around and break commandment which is to freely do them for the people, just as they received the gifts free of charge? Simply because the preachers are ministers of the devil who have been transformed into ministers of righteousness.
Stop being a monkey on a string for these hypocrites, ask yourself how come no prophet or disciple or apostle or angel or Christ himself, ever sold one book or so called miracle water or prayer cloths or t shirts or key chains or concert tickets or cds and posters? 2 Peter 2:3 - And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. They give you all these smooth sounding words, while sporting their expensive suits and designer shoes and diamond earrings and fancy cars and big mansions, as if its their blessing from the Most High that he also has in store for you, only if you just sow a seed, or as they call it, give a little. They know the people will start desiring to have the same things, which is covetousness, and with their lifestyle and smooth sounding words, they got you empyting your pocket book inside out like R Kelly at a girl scout cookie fundraiser.
Holy Water Is Stolen From The Law
Question: What do the scriptures say in regards to this water they passing off as holy water?
Numbers 8:6 - Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
Numbers 8:7 - And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of purification upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
FYI: These self proclaimed evangelists who you see on the television screen, stole the concept of the water of purification, in which the water of purification was used in cases of ceremonial cleansings at the consecration of the Levites. These televangelists started buying water from private manufacturers, and then begin marketing it to the people as being holy water that had the power to cleanse them. This is deceitful, because the water of purification was used by the Levites, in which one they are not Levites, and two, was commanded to be used by the law, which they teach the law is done away with. So if they saying the law is done away with, then how can they use the water of purification concept as being holy water? If they New Testament creatures as they claim out their mouth, then why they deceitfully using the Old Testament? Folks wake your behinds up and get into the truth before its everlasting too late.
Paying Tithes Stolen From The Law
Question: Who did the Most High choose to give the priesthood unto?
Deuteronomy 21:5 - And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
FYI: So as we can see here, he gave the priesthood unto the Levites, and in Numbers 26:62 we learn that the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel. Therefore by not being numbered among them, because they were chosen to be set apart for the work of the sanctuary and service unto the Most High, they didn't receive any inheritance among the children of Israel, because by being set apart, the Most High was their inheritance which we learn of in Deuteronomy 18:2. So for their support, it was ordained that they should receive from the other tribes the tithes of the produce of the land, which in Numbers 18:26 we learn they partook of the tithes of the children of Israel which the Most High gave them for an inheritance. This was called a heave offering, in which they were to offer it up for the Most High, even a tenth part of the tithe. So how can these pastors teach the law is done away with, but yet have their members to pay tithes in which paying tithes was ordained to be paid under the law? How can they teach their members to pay tithes, when their not even a Levite? The qualification age to be a minister was 25 years upward to 50 years of age, and you had to be a Levite. So how can these pastors teach the law is done away with but yet follow the custom of tithe paying which was done to the Levites under the law, when their not even a Levite nor of qualification age? Why teach the people to pay tithes if your not going to follow the order of tithe paying?
FYI: The Levites whom tithes were paid to, had services that they had to do in order to receive tithes. In which those services dealt with a series of laws regarding sacrifices, such as burnt offerings, meat offerings, thank offerings, sin offerings, trespass offerings and peace offerings. These were the services of the Most High in which they were operating, so since he was their inheritance, the ten percent he required of the children of Israel, was for the Levites who had no inheritance like the others among the children of Israel. So if these pastors are going to teach paying tithes, then how come they not offering up animal sacrifices for sin as the Levites were required to do under the law? Why use the law's requiring of tithes being paid, if your not going to perform the works of the law? Christ was the end of the Leviticus priesthood, he offered himself up as a sacrifice for the sins of all only one time, not as the priests did who did so daily offer up sacrifices. So therefore, no animal sacrifices are needed anymore, the blood of Christ is the atonement the Most High accepts for the forgiveness of the people's sins. So if there is no Leviticus priesthood anymore, then you don't have tithe paying as being a requirement anymore, because works of the law Christ ended, which was the animal sacrifices, that's the Law he done away with, not the law as a whole, the animal sacrifices that required to be done by the Leviticus priests. Christ came as the High Priest from the tribe which Moses spoke nothing of concerning the priesthood, and that tribe was Judah. So to teach such a doctrine today is deceitful and damnable doctrine.
FYI: Also in regards to the Levites, forty eight cities also were assigned to them, thirteen of which were for the priests to dwell in, along with their other inhabitants, in which along with their dwellings they had suburbs, commons for their their herds and flocks, and also fields and vineyards, which we learn of in Numbers 35:2-5. So how can these pastors teach that they are New Testament creatures, but yet make a living off the inheritance of the Levites given unto them according to the law under the Old Covenant? Nine of these cities were in Judah, three in Naphtali, and four in each of the other tribes (Josh. 21). Six of the Levitical cities were set apart as "cities of refuge". They were scattered among the tribes not to get rich or preach prosperity doctrines or to get new cars and clothes and mansions, instead they were scattered among the tribes to keep alive among them the knowledge and service of the Most High. You pastors better repent and put down that seminary doctrine teaching, and teach your members the truth while you still breathing, otherwise dress warm, cause you going straight to hell on scholarship.
