Part 7 - Jacob's Promise and Malachi's Reminder
This is part 7 of a 10 part
series titled " The Truth About Tithing". George Greene presents biblical proof demonstrating that
God never required Christians to keep the Old Testament law of tithing. George
notes that Jacob made a vow to pay God a tenth IF he gets
blessed. Certainly not a model for Christians and NOT a
model for those who were required to tithe under the Law.
Concerning the book of Malachi, George shows that the threat of
curses was directed ONLY to the nation of Israel and NOT to
Christians. |

Part 8 - The Truth About
Abram's Tithe - Part A
This is part 8 of a 10 part
series titled " The Truth About Tithing". George Greene presents biblical proof demonstrating that
God never required Christians to keep the Old Testament law of tithing. A
review of the scripture shows that Abram paid a ten per cent
'spoils of war' tithe to Melchizedek just one time. There is
no evidence that it was his normal practice. Besides that,
Abram gave the remaining approximately 90% of the spoils back to
the either the king of Sodom or the people of Sodom. Definitely
NOT an example for Christians to follow. George also corrects the
myth that Abram and 318 men defeated the 4 kings. |

Part 10 - Tithing in Hebrews and Conclusion of Series
This is part 10 of a 10 part
series titled " The Truth About Tithing". George Greene presents biblical proof demonstrating that
God never required Christians to keep the Old Testament law of tithing. George
proves from the Bible that the tithing mentioned was not a command
for Christians but rather a reflection of what was happening at
the time the letter was written. The Hebrew converts to
Christianity were still attempting to keep parts of the Mosaic Law
and the writer of Hebrews was trying to show them that '..Jesus
has become the guarantee of a better covenant'. |

What
Methods Did Jesus Use? - Part 1 of 4
Six common methods of preparing to "preach the gospel" are reviewed. The methods so often in use now are compared to what Jesus and the Apostles did as they started ministering. The term "What Did Jesus Do" is introduced. One of the main goals of this series is to remind believers that "bigger churches or ministries" does not always mean "better" - in God's eyes. This lesson takes a look at 1) The filing of papers with governmental authorities and 2) Modeling of churches after the "most successful" churches or ministries. |

What
Methods Did Jesus Use? - Part 2 of 4
Six common methods of preparing to "preach the gospel" are reviewed. The methods so often in use now are compared to what Jesus and the Apostles did as they started ministering. This lesson challenges believers to reconsider some of the statements they must agree with in order to be a 'good' member. The idea that criticism of "God's leaders" can disrupt God's plans is challenged. |

|
What
Methods Did Jesus Use - Part 3 of 4
Common methods of church growth
are challenged. The author also suggests that the need to
control and count membership maybe repeating King David's error of
depending on the numbers instead of depending on God. Jesus'
reaction when he had impact on thousands is compared to the modern
leader who also has impact on many.

What
Methods Did Jesus Use - Part 4 of 4
This lesson takes a look at
what Jesus and the Apostles practiced when it
came to accepting or drawing rich people into their ministry.
Believers are
encouraged to tell people about Jesus in contrast to telling
people about
your church. Several things that are common in many churches
are listed by
the author as things that he maintains 'God is not impressed
with'.

How
to Stop 'Tithing' - Part 1
If you have any problems
practicing your new found belief then you need to view these
lessons. George identifies issues that a person is likely to
encounter when they finally realize that God's plan for their
lives does not include the necessity to 'tithe'. Viewers are
encouraged to take back the authority that they gave up to
religious leaders and become more responsible for how they view
Biblical issues by listening to God for themselves. |

How to Stop
'Tithing' - Part 2
The issue of keeping your 'vow'
or promise to pay a Christian organization is reviewed.
Several scriptures are shown to be extremely convincing at trying
to keep a believer from stopping their vow but George puts things
to rest by reminding viewers what Jesus has already said on the
issue. You will no longer be intimidated by religious
leaders and what they preach you should do with your money and
resources. |

How to BE a Blessing -
Part 1 of 5
George starts with the promises
given to Abram in Genesis 12 and begins the process of showing us
that in addition to Gentile believers receiving the "blessing
given to Abraham" that we should also BE a blessing to
other believers and nonbelievers both. The
intended audience are those who have begun to question many of the
teachings that cause a believer to be so concerned with earthly
riches. The lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are reviewed
to see how they were a blessing to others. Some questions are
asked at the beginning which include 1) Does a believer have to be
rich in order to be a blessing to others? and 2) Does a believer
have to have money in order to be a blessing to others? |

How to BE a Blessing -
Part 2 of 5
The natural and spiritual
descendents of Abraham are both included in the promise to
"... BE a blessing ...". George shows that
the overflow of blessings that comes through believers is not
limited to the things we own that we share with others. A person
can truly be a blessing to others and not even own anything
themselves, that is, not having the George-coined word "blessability".
Other questions to be answered include 3) Is
it necessary to have money in order to spread the gospel? and
4) Can a person who doesn't believe in Jesus Christ be a blessing
to others? Situations are studied throughout the Bible where
blessings occurred with money and valuables and also when money
and valuables were not involved. |

How to BE a Blessing -
Part 3 of 5
This session starts off with
George setting aside many of the various formulas that have been
preached to Christians that supposedly guarantee a blessing from
God. He continues with examples of blessings in the Old Testament
including Psalm 23 "..my cup runneth over...". George
proves that
the overflow of blessings that comes through believers are
supposed to bless everybody around the believer - believers and
unbelievers both. Another question asked in the series is 5) God
communicates to believers but only to draw them to salvation? -
True or False. |

How to BE a Blessing -
Part 4 of 5
Attention is focused on the
behavior of Christians in the workplace. George links the
behaviors of the patriarchs as they worked to the guidelines found
in Colossians 3:22. He asserts that there is a direct
connection to the blessings received by the people that were only
near the patriarchs and the workplace blessings that should occur
as Christians work as directed in Colossians. Another question
asked at the beginning was 6) What is the "blessing given to
Abraham"? |
01/29/09 |
| 129 |
How to BE a Blessing -
Part 5 of 5
When considering how money is
to be handled in ministry, George takes note of the fact that
Jesus sent out "12 broke folks" in Mark 6:8. These were
the leaders Jesus was preparing to continue ministering after he
ascended into heaven. George suggests that the Apostles
continued to practice ministry the same way which brings into
question the way church is operated these days. The question
about the "blessing given to Abraham" is resolved
leaving no room for doubters. He concludes by summarizing the 4
different ways believers can BE a blessing. |

Big Lie: God Wants You
to be Rich - Part 1 of 3
"The religious leader
telling you that God wants you to be rich is the one who has plans
for your money" George states. This series is a follows up on
the "how To BE a Blessing" series and once again, but
briefly this time, George notes that true prosperity includes
having God with you, no matter what financial situation you are
in. "Give and it shall be given to you" is reviewed and
George shows that that verse is clearly NOT talking about money or
riches. |
02/12/09 |
| 131 |
Big Lie: God Wants You
to be Rich - Part 2 of 3
George reviews other scriptures
that he maintains are misinterpreted. Phil 4:19 "..God
will meet all of your needs ..." and 2 Cor 9:11 "You
will made rich in every way... " are both shown as statements
that do not stand on their own but instead must be interpreted in
proper context. A clear pattern is once again reinforced and
that is the need to be generous to those in need. Some Bible
warnings about riches and the desire to get riches are also
visited. |

Big Lie: God Wants You
to be Rich - Part 3 of 3
"Too many poor people have
been talked into giving gifts to rich church leaders",
"Too many poor believers have been robbed of help from other
believers because of the pressure put on them to give to rich
ministries", and "Religious leaders that have been
forcing people to tithe are in effect robbing the poor" are
examples of some of George's assertions. George takes a brief look
at the wisdom of God's plan for helping the poor which contains
principles still applicable even now. At the close, George
suggests that believers need to ask God to forgive our religious
leaders who are responsible for the world's equating wealth with
Christianity. Religious leaders who have done that have been
"...robbed of the truth and think that godliness is a means
to financial gain" 1Tim 6:5. |

The
Problems with Traditional Easter - Part 1of 3
The issue is that the 'sign of the prophet Jonah' that Jesus spoke of is NOT met with the traditional Easter weekend. It does not equate to the 3 days & 3 nights that Jesus prophesied that he would be in the tomb. The
presentation starts with an brief introduction to the history of "Easter" and it's pagan roots. An overview of the Jewish calendar is presented with focus on the week of Passover. |
04/17/09 |
| 134 |
The
Problems with Traditional Easter - Part 2 of 3
George identifies a few days of 'Sacred Assembly' or 'high holy days' that are another form of a Sabbath day. The uniqueness of 'Preparation Day' is also covered in depth. George notes where the gospels agree with some items before the death of Jesus. He also takes note of gospel verses that appear to disagree. |
04/17/09 |
| 135 |
The
Problems with Traditional Easter - Part 3 of 3
George identifies several events that happened on Preparation Day. It is noted that three of the gospels- Matthew, Mark, and Luke - all seem to place Jesus at the Passover meal. A thorough study shows that Jesus was in the grave prior to Passover so therefore he could NOT have celebrated the Passover. John's gospel has no conflicts and presents us a consistent, verifiable timeline that shows us the 3 days and 3 nights that Jesus spent in the tomb. George notes that it is impossible to reconcile all of the gospel verses the way they have been translated. |

Big
Lie: The Coming Transfer of Wealth - Part 1
George provides detail
to show how scripture is twisted as others attempt to prove that
Christians are about to get a big load of money dropped into their
laps. This get-rich-quick-end-time-transfer-of-wealth scheme by
dishonest religious leaders is their latest attempt to scam
Christians. This lesson reveals the formula used to entice or
threaten Christians into complying with their deception. |
10/23/09 |
| 137 |
Big
Lie: The Coming Transfer of Wealth - Part 2
There are examples of wealth
transfers in the Bible, however, a closer look at the examples
other preachers use is demonstrated to be totally wrong to use as
examples. For example, Abraham was disobedient to God, lied,
and put his wife at risk in in order to save himself. Yes,
he did leave Egypt with a lot of valuable resources but his
actions are certainly not those that Christians should use as
examples for wealth transfer expectations. Both Isaac and Jacob's
wealth transfers are studied in this section. |
10/31/09 |
| 138 |
Big
Lie: The Coming Transfer of Wealth - Part 3
There was a major wealth
transfer when the Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt but this
also is not a model wealth transfer for Christians. There is
another wealth transfer prophesied in Scripture, however it will
NOT be to make Christians rich so they can give the money to
ministries so they in turn can reach the lost. God started with
Jesus without money, Jesus sent out the Apostles on purpose
without money but the greedy preachers want you to believe that
God can't do what he wants without your money! Those who teach
such are liars out to get your money NOW. George visits the book
of Revelations which identifies at least one group that will be
around when the wealth transfer occurs. |

Touch
not mine anointed - What does it mean - Part 1
This scripture gets quoted when
some pastors get challenged about lessons they taught or maybe
even questionable things they did. It is used as a
'get-out-of-jail-free-card' when in fact the statement was not a
future insurance policy but instead was King David's reflection on
how God had protected his leaders IN THE PAST. |
