James 5:17-20 Amplified Bible
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings], and he prayed intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].
19 My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you strays from the truth and falls into error and [another] one turns him back [to God],
20 let the [latter] one know that the one who has turned a sinner from the error of his way will save that one’s soul from death and cover a multitude of sins [that is, obtain the pardon of the many sins committed by the one who has been restored].
Matthew 5:1-10 NLT
5 One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them.

Matthew 6 NLT
Teaching about Giving to the Needy
6 “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
2 When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.
3 But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Matthew 6:19-34 NLT
Teaching about Money and Possessions
19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.
21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
22 “Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.
23 But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!
24 “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?
27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing,
29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.
33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

AI Overview
There are many denominations in the Latter Day Saint movement, which is sometimes called Mormonism, and it's difficult to provide an exact number of Mormons since the beginning of the movement:
The largest Latter Day Saint denomination, with over 16 million members worldwide. The LDS Church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah…
December 5, 2024
(Author’s note: This is talking about present members, years ago, after studying Mormonism and Joseph Smith, I became aware that this entire movement began after Joseph purported to have “found” a book supposedly written by an angel about “Divine things.”
One of the things that I found somewhat humorous was how the Early Mormons were so persecuted.
You know, this was what they used to let people know. (How they were persecuted for their 'faith.')
Could I tell you why people wished to “Lynch” some of them and why they were chased out of town after town according to this author who had written one book in which I studied from?
The book was written in like 1870 or something, if I recall right. Before the nineteenth century had ended though. He was at one time in the leadership of the church and then later became separated from the church where he "spilled all of the beans," I guess?
Now please remember these are charges which were alleged by the authors who I read from. I cannot confirm these as truths, but one might consider the thought or to do your own study.
Anyway, among the many theological doctrines that Ol’ Joe put out, was that in “Holy Matrimony” one marriage on Earth is non-sufficient.
You see, the way he put it was that not only are you supposed to participate in an Earthly Union of marriage, but there is also a “Heavenly” sacrament of marriage.
Thus, should a woman die on Earth having only participated in an Earthly Marriage, the poor misguided and unfortunate woman would therefore have to spend an Eternity up there in heaven all alone.
Well, the good Mormon Proselytizers would never allow this terrible fate to fall on one of their potential future “Members,” of the church, therefore they would offer to these young ladies their own “Celestial Hand,” of marriage to have a “Celestial Marriage Ceremony,” on Earth. And of course, this was to spare all the young lasses, from an “Eternity,” of alone-ness.
Well, when I first read this, I was in tears. I just couldn’t imagine these great “Early Saints” and all that they had to suffer for their beliefs.
Can you imagine such a thing?
I mean, these poor guys are on the threshold of a Lynching, but they continued to practice their “Faith,” in the next town.
So, anyway, after I got my composure back I was able to finish my studies.
Sorry, I can’t help but to get off on these “Rabbit Trails.”
Nonetheless, when you read that at present there are sixteen million members in the LDS, that is not counting the many who spent their entire lives loyal to these unusual doctrines and Church. And I can’t remember if they are going to meet Saint Peter at the “Pearly Gates,” or if they expect to meet Father Joe, nonetheless, I wouldn’t want to be in their Celestial underwear or slippers when my time came up for judgment, would you? )
The second largest Latter Day Saint denomination, with over 250,000 members. The Community of Christ is centered in Independence, Missouri.
Groups that broke with the LDS Church over polygamy, with an estimated 20,000–60,000 members. The largest two fundamentalist sects are the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church) and the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB).
The Latter Day Saint movement has over 400 denominations that have sprung from Joseph Smith's original movement. The LDS Church considers the term "Mormon" to be connected to the polygamy once practiced by the Utah church, or to pejoratives used against early adherents of the movement.
One source estimated over 400 denominations have sprung from founder Joseph Smith's original movement. Mormon is an informal term used especially when referring ...
(Author’s note again, but my point in writing all of this is to show you that this individual who has led millions and millions into his idea of Eternity based his Church on just a few concepts. And one of these is what is quoted so often in these Mega Churches and Greed filled Charismata churches of today.
How often have you heard the phrase, “Your ‘TITHE, should go to where you get fed.”) end of author's 2nd note.
In other words, their attitude is, “Let us quote all of these ‘Charismatic sayings,’ to establish our doctrines on the basis of what we have decided is best for the church.”
I am terribly Sorry, but I can’t find anywhere in the Bible where Jesus tells his followers, “This is the future for my church which I intend to establish on the Earth. I would like you to all gather in huge buildings, with huge choir’s and huge everything because the bigger the better. And since you have all decided to build the greatest and most expensive houses of God, you must consider this edifice the “storehouse” or quite simply a big ugly “SILO.” It really doesn’t matter to me whichever name that you give it.
Nonetheless, once you have built this “Big Ugly Silo,” I wish every one of you to bring daily a tenth of all that you receive in this life. And if you can’t do that daily, then you MUST do it every week without fail because I am a hard task master who demands all of this from each one of my children. And there is no difference between a weeklong believer and another believer who has been attending your Big Ugly Silo, for fifty years. I treat everyone equally without mercy or compassion for every single individual.
Furthermore, you must consider these “bastions of Integrity,” the sole resource of sustenance. You must understand that without these “Houses,” which feeds my people so faithfully and righteously that you would be nothing without them.
Yes, without these “places,” where you get fed, you would know NOTHING of my CHARACTER and GOODNESS.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND STUPID?
I AM THE LORD GOD AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME EXCEPT FOR THOSE FEW VERY SPECIAL ELITES WHO RUN MY BIG UGLY SILO’S.
Can you imagine Jesus after he feeds the four or five thousand then tells them, “Okay guys, that was just an appetizer, now I want you to leave here and go back to your synagogues, so you can really get FED by the Pharisee’s and Hypocrites, who are amassing individual fortunes.”
“These are the places where you should get fed!”
No, funny, but I don’t see or hear Jesus in the “word of God,” quoting any of those Charismatic cliches.”
No, I get fed by the “word of God.”
I get fed by the Holy Spirit whom the apostle John said, would “feed” us.
John 14:25-26 New Living Translation
25 I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
1 John 2:27 New Living Translation
27 But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.
The other day, I turned on a Bible School early morning chapel at a major Bible School and someone brought up the question of “Tithing.” Apparently, someone had been inciting believer’s to actually read the Bible, and to interpret it themselves instead of just complying with the religious teachers, which so many followers of Christ consistently do.
Well, they had a small discussion a few weeks earlier by a few leaders and so the schools President, who seems like a very fair man reasserted his positions on the matter. He stated that there are many leaders who over the years have given him a “bad taste in his mouth” because of the manner in which they have abused the “Tithe.”
Then he stated biblical teaching which suggests that the ‘tithe,’ or a mere ten per cent is far below what an individual who truly loves God ought to be giving. I couldn’t have agreed more with the man, but then he stated the typical “Cliché,” which is used almost as often as the phrase, “The local church is the storehouse referred to in Malachi.”
But he stated, “Well, I believe that you ought to give where you get fed.” Of course, referring to the local church again.
Nonetheless, what these “cliches,” and what these church leaders have been trying to establish for decades is that “everybody who attends a church or visits a church are therefore subjected to a law which states, “If you attend a Church or are associated with it in any way then you are obligated to support it by giving at least ten per cent of every dime that you ever receive on this Earth.”
“You would ask why?”
Well, because that “is where you get fed,” just as the Mormons have done as taught by Joseph Smith for something like one hundred and ninety so years?
This entire idea is preposterous. I couldn’t begin to tell you the number of churches where I have “worshipped” in or have participated in that instead of “FEEDING,” the PEOPLE are instead POISINING their ‘Spiritual Lives.”
You know, as one might claim that against the “Mormons.”
Not me, of course! Or..well…Oh forget it!
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT WE HAVE HAD COUNTLESS MILLIONS LEAVE THE CHURCH AND WHO MANY HAVE BECOME “BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS” WHO YEARLY GIVE THEIR TITHES TO CORPORATIONS THAT CARE FOR SCRAGGLY OLD MUTTS WHICH YOU CAN SEE RUNNING IN PACKS THROUGH OUR NEW HUGELY POPULATED “BLUE CITIES,” AS IF THEY ARE OF A PARTICULAR POLITICAL PERSUASION WHICH HAS ALSO NOW BECOME THEIR CHURCHES?
And yet, almost every Pastor or Church Leader will tell you that “YOU NEED TO BE GIVING TEN PER CENT OF YOUR INCOME TO THE CHURCH IN WHICH YOU ARE ATTENDING?”
After all they are “FEEDING YOU.”
Well, if that is the case THEN THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF MALNUTRITION, in the “Body of Christ.”
The other day, on Sunday morning I wanted to go online to a church which would be completely anointed, and I could feel “FED.”
You know, this is what they all claim that every CHURCH is FEEDING you.
But seriously, of all the churches from “From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
Where there is pride in every American heart that stands to worship the Lord because they think that they are gifted Charismatics?
I couldn’t find any that really “FED,” their congregations the truth.
I couldn’t find any that were filled with the “power of God,” and were making a mark on present day history.
No, all that we have in present day Charismata is the same old pattern of gathering the brotherhood, teaching them all to be obedient “Tithers,” and men pleasers, having great sounding worship and striving for huge crowds because we all know that you are a failing CHURCH unless you have huge crowds which all TITHE with a purpose of constructing an even greater building than the “ones who have gone before US.”
Nonetheless, although it keeps failing over and over we continually “repeat the process.”
Why, you ask?
Well, because the local church is the “Storehouse.”
And this is the place where we get “FED,” the doctrines in which we religiously follow week to week.
Else, we are considered “Anathema,” for suggesting anything different.
In other words, this idea is insane and is proven by the status of the “Church in America.”
I am sorry, but the church in America is a huge melting pot of failure or poisoned stew.
The American church is weak, anemic, morally bankrupt, and impotent when it comes to “Spiritual Power,” or Authority.
And the reason for this is that it’s members can only think of a wonder working and powerful God on the terms that he has been rewarded by the money in which the church truly “Worships,” and then pays off God with.
They really do, they have this concept that unless we can bountifully bless God by the Billions, we take from his people then he is “impotent,” on our behalf.”
But, because I preach in this matter and with these common-sense practical disciplines for the church or the overall “Body of Christ,” the clergy wishes to make me a heretic, an outcast, or whatever charge will stick.
I have faced this for well over forty years.
Nonetheless, this is why I am trying to make it clear that I am not against any local “Church Body,” supporting the brick-and-mortar facilities in which they meet or conduct church business.
No, what I am against and have been almost throughout all of my many years of observing the “Church,” is to simply say that the church has been in “Error,” on many things and one of the main issues of “Error,” is the justification of finances and how they are applied in the church and especially the “Local Church.”
You see, I believe that Jesus purpose for the church was to establish His “body of Christ,” on Earth. The main purpose of that was so that all who are brought into that fellowship are equal and entitled to receive the same type of help or influence as any other member.
Why does it seem so strange that the local church would want to use their resources in order to help every member of the church.
Why doesn’t the church teach that you have an obligation to those in your community who suffer hardship?
Why doesn’t the church teach that you have an obligation to those in your community which are poor?
Why doesn’t the church teach that you have an obligation to those in your community who suffer from hardship brought on by natural disasters?
In other words, “Why aren’t our church leaders standing in the pulpits admonishing the congregation to help those who are your neighbors, or those who stand next to you with uplifted hands to God every week?
Why aren’t our major Pastors standing in the pulpits and encouraging their people to give to the needy, the poor, the Elderly, the maimed?
Have any of you ever heard a “Pastor” encourage a congregation to help those members among you who are struggling with great difficulty during these trying times at present?
This is what Jesus would be doing every week, were he to be “standing” in a pulpit on Sunday.
Instead, what we have in almost every church in America is thousands and thousands of so-called “Preachers,” get on their “Soapboxes,” and quote from Malachi, recite the age-old adages that the “local church,” is the storehouse, or the “local church,” is where “you get fed.”
These adages which they all claim are written in STONE.
Not so, my brothers and sisters!
Did Jesus ever tell any of his followers to go back to those “Synagogues,” where you have been getting fed?
Hell, NO!
Could I tell you why?
Probably because they were not feeding their flocks, but instead they gave each one a dose of Salmonella every week.
“…. Here let me tell you of this ‘TRADITION,’ the local Synagogue is the ‘Storehouse,’ and this is where you get FED. All taken from the many laws in which we have made up and instituted into our “local Synagogue services.”
“Ahh gee, can I have another portion, Rabbi?”
You know, those “traditions,” especially which made them fat and rich Rabbi’s with a mansion on the hill?
Did Jesus ever give a command or even a “hint,” in transitioning from Old to New Testament, “The tithe is now no longer to be used that “Food may be brought into my storehouse.”
I mean, was there a time when Jesus declared that from this day forward the purpose of the “TITHE,” is to build huge Brick and Mortar Buildings, pay Preachers huge Salaries, and to have a “Starbucks,” in your lobby?
I am sorry, I can’t find the passage.
No what most “Preachers,” fail to tell their people is that the “Purpose,” of the TITHE was that “so there will be enough food in my Temple.”
I mean, that is as plain as day,
Isn’t it?
God corrected the whole nation of Israel and then He declared the purpose is “so my people who are needy will not go hungry.” That I may have FOOD in my Temple.”
Well, does that passage in Malachi also mention to bring millions of dollars into the storehouse that we can build “Storehouses?”
No, it doesn’t.
Does God distinguish the “Food,” that He is talking about, as being “Spiritual wisdom,” as given by the Pharisees and Religious Teachers who taught in the Synagogues?
No, He does not!
But, but, but doesn’t the Bible refer to the “local church,” where the congregations are supposed to give ten per cent of every dime they ever made to that “storehouse.”
No, following from Google:
AI Overview
The word "storehouse" is mentioned directly in the Old Testament 18 times and indirectly over 62 times. The concept of a storehouse is mentioned hundreds of times in both the Old and New Testaments.
The term "storehouse" is generic and refers to a place where resources are kept, such as the temple treasury, which was first located in the tabernacle and then in the Jerusalem Temples. In Roman Palestine, the term "storehouse" was also used to refer to a tax-collector's grainhouse.”
2nd item from “Google:”
..after I ask if the Bible ever referred to the church as a storehouse?
AI Overview
No, the word "storehouse" in the Bible refers to a section of the Temple where tithes and other resources were kept, not a church:
In other words, the Storehouse was a bank or a place where money was kept.
Why can’t pastors just say, Bring your money to the bank inside our church. And once there, “We will plunder it of all its resources.”
That would be a much more proper definition.
Why do they say, “The church is the storehouse?”
Why do they say, “Well, you are fed from the “Bank” or the “Storehouse.”
Why don’t they say, “You are fed spiritually from the church.”
You see, these are two different things or at least they ought to be.
Number ONE, “If the church were the ‘storehouse,’ there would be FOOD in it.
For some strange reason there is no food in any churches storehouse because it is all used up to pay for the “Pastors,” many financial benefits, as well as other things such as 100-million-dollar brick buildings.
Can anyone understand or grasp what I am trying to say here, I am not against any church building a building nor would I be of any family who wished to buy or build a home.
Nonetheless, why does every church have to have a mansion, I thought that these were things that we aspired to while living a life of “Faith.”
Or did I miss another teaching from Jesus where He promised every congregation a mansion before they got to heaven?
Why can’t a church pay for a building, make sure that their congregations are giving to those in need within the church, to pay for the misfortunate, the Elderly, the maimed, the poor those issues which Jesus commanded to make a priority of while spending your time on Earth as a Christian.
Malachi 3:8-13 NLT
8 “Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me!
“But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?’
“You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. 9 You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me. 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! 11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 12 “Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land will be such a delight,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
13 “You have said terrible things about me,” says the Lord.
So, anyway, as I was listening to this question on the ‘tithe’ and I heard this leader’s response, all of a sudden, a few students roared with a “victory,” type of shouting.
Somehow these students have made the issue a battle, as the suggestion or my papers have to be an issue which “splits,” the church.
Well, as I hear these “Victorious, shouts from a few (Probably PK’s) I thought, "you haven’t heard a “word,” that I have said."
You see, I do not preach what I have been given to preach because I want to win any arguments or because I despise Preachers, which I do, yet at the same time, I love many others, but I preach this controversial subject because I love God and most importantly it is because I believe with all of my heart that the words that I am speaking are “TRUTH,” else I would not be preaching them.
When I heard those students yell out, “Yea, you tell em!” Or whatever they said, my thought was, “You don’t get it, I couldn’t care if you give your entire lifetimes earnings to Minnie Mouse, it wouldn’t change my attitude or thinking in the least. "
I don’t write to invite persecution from the religious, I have spent my entire life filled with it, but I write because it is what I believe.
I am not trying to win any arguments, either my words make sense, or they do not.
And that is the truth. All that I have been trying to say is that it is un-natural, just as there are things in nature or life that are “Un-natural.”
For an entire congregation multiplied by every other congregation in the Nation to give unwaveringly millions and billions of dollars every week to the same cause, which is basically building, and the upkeep of thousands and thousands of brick-and-mortar buildings is un-natural. You are denying every issue in which Jesus said to “give for” such as mercy, compassion and those things which move one’s heart?
All because your leaders claim that every penny in the Church needs to be given to the purposes of those same leaders.
It is insane!
Quite frankly, it is sick.
And I believe that this is how God feels concerning the matter.
What about all of the single mothers in your congregations striving to just get by to feed their children?
What about the brother who works tirelessly 60 to 80 hours a week to support his family.
What about the unfortunate in your congregations?
Did you know in almost every other church age the emphasis has always been on building Orphanages or homes that take care of the less fortunate.
In other generations they took care of their missionaries who would venture out at death’s risk to preach the gospel.
What did Jesus say about “Giving?”
One thing that I recall that he said was to “Not let your left hand know what your right is doing.”
Personally, I believe that what he was doing was giving an example of this one thing which I have suggested a hundred times. You see, I believe that when you live or operate within the kingdom of God or of your ‘spirit,’ you act out of the ‘Right side’ of your brain.
Scientists will tell you that the left side of the brain is analytical, whereas the “right side” is more ‘artistic.’
So, when Jesus said, “don’t let your ‘left hand’ know what your ‘right side’ is doing, in a sense, I believe he was saying "don’t give analytically.”
He was saying “Give from what moves your heart.”
Don’t let men tell you that you need to give this much to the “Storehouse,” and this much to the offerings in which the churches have dictated to you, but “give from what moves your spiritual side of your heart.”
Let your “giving” be secret between you and God and the Father Himself will reward you.”
Matthew 6:3-4 New Living Translation
3 But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
What else did Jesus say about “Giving?”
What did he tell us to give for?
What were the purposes that he said that we ought to give for?
Did he once suggest a building?
Did he once suggest for the Pastor’s or leaders Private Jets, huge homes?
Did he suggest we first build huge choirs, or to give to the especially “gifted,” musicians or singers?
How about to the very talented “associate pastors” or talented individuals who can manipulate or move ninety-five per cent of a congregation to give into our sacred “White Buckets?”
Yes, by all means, I believe that everybody ought to be paying for the reasonable and just cost that occurred by their use of the facilities in which a church is forced to pay in order to gather the brethren together in order to worship God and to welcome the presence of God.
On the other hand, though, we have biblical accounts of men selling their land and giving huge savings unto the church.
You see, in the New Testament, they didn't strangle the "little guy," to fill their personal coffers and then have a fifty per cent rate that within twenty years the congregation will be backslid and returned to the world, did they?
Nonetheless, I can’t find anywhere in scripture where this also means that all Christians because they gather in one building should observe that building as a “Sacred Temple,” and from the “Grand Opening,” of that sacred and Holy Day from then on serve that creation of “brick and mortar” by bringing to its altars every week the “Ten Per Cent,” of those congregants who then use that facility to worship in.
Nonetheless, this is what the American church does every week, yet no one has had the common sense to call it “INSANE.”
Well, I do!
So, the next time that your “Leaders,” all explain away how the “TITHE,” is New Testament, because the “local Church,” is the Storehouse.”
Please all ask them, “You mean, like the way that the Mormons have been giving for close to two hundred years?”
They too, have been getting fed just like you are “feeding us,” is that what you mean?

Postscript:
I am sorry, but I find that the timing here is incredible. I mean, it’s only been a few days since I wrote the above paper and then last night, I found this old “Charismatic Candid Camera” clip.
You see, years ago, in the beginning of the “Charismatic Movement” the churches used to have a national show where various church congregants could participate in a game show sponsored by the Church leaders.
They wanted to come up with an idea where they could “give back to the community,” who were so “Faithful,” in their “Giving.”
I mean, how else are you going to pay back all of those who give so “Faithful,” every week?
No one knew?
Well, that was until one of them came up with this idea of sponsoring a National Game Show.
Nonetheless, I just happened to find this clip buried in a batch of old “You Tube” clips?
Who would have guessed it?
Just days after I wrote my ‘thesis,’ on “American Church Giving.”
