Hillsong United twists Scripture to pressure Bible knowledge deficient church members to pay “tithes”

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. I would thou wert cold or hot. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Revelation 3:14-18 (KJV)

Hillsong United mega-church is a huge multi-million dollar corporation that rakes in more money on a yearly basis than the church is able to spend. But it’s not for a lack of trying. Brian Houston, founder of Hillsong United, lives a massively-lavish jet-setting lifestyle, and he never stops reminding his congregants to tithe a minimum of 10% of their income to the church. They even have a Hollywood agent that helped them to produce a feature film set to be released in September of 2015. What on earth does a Church of Jesus Christ need with a Hollywood agent?

Hillsong in 2011, took in an incredible $28,000,000.00 in tithes and donations, all tax-free. An additional $7,000,000.00 was taken in by sales of their music recordings. Revenue generated from conferences that year totaled $4,000,000.00. Their bible colleges and courses took in another $10,000,000.00. Hillsong reported total revenue for that year to be $55,000,000.00. All of it completely tax-free.That is not a church, that is a corporation that is using the cover of a church to get out of paying taxes.

On the other hand, charitable giving by Hillsong United in 2011 was a paltry $5,500,000.00. So it makes you really wonder where the other $49,500,000.00 is being spent. Remember, these figures are for 4 years ago, Hillsong has only grown since then. They have taken in nearly another $250,000,000.00 since these 2011 figures were released.

The hard-sell tactics of Hillsong founder Brian Houston to pressure members to tithe revealed:

Christians are not commanded to tithe a set amount

From a doctrinal perspective, the idea of telling a Christian that they must “tithe” their income, or even give any set amount at all, is completely unbiblical. The bible doctrine of tithing was a command given to Jews living under the Law of Moses, and is found in Malachi:

“Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:8-10 (KJV)

But in the New Testament, in Paul’s writings to the Christian church, not only is this not found, something every different is there instead. While Paul acknowledges the need for the Church to have money to sustain itself, the parameters are something quite unique. Today’s Laodicean pastors ignore these teachings because when you use them, it’s nearly impossible to make millions doing it.

Hillsong United Church Steeped In Illuminati And New Age Symbolism

“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 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV)

See that? The Holy Spirit through Paul is telling to give cheerfully, because you want to and not because you have to. Christians under Grace are not required to tithe anything (the word tithe referring to giving a tenth, or 10% of your income). The bible goes on to say this also:

“Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.” 1 Corinthians 16:2 (KJV)

Paul says to give “as God has prospered you”, but again he leaves the amount of that giving up to the individual. If you are in church that pressures you to give, and to give a set amount, that church is telling you false doctrine and placing you in bondage. Flee from a corrupt flock fleecer like that.

Mega Church using mega-millions to create mega-movie to rake in more millions. All tax free.

When Hillsong United, or any church, preaches from the pulpit that their members must tithe 10%, and make them feel that God will punish them if they don’t, is nothing more than extortion. It is not only unbiblical, it is also corrupt and crooked. Hillsong United may have started out as a church with good intentions of preaching the gospel, but they have long since abandoned those principles for financial gain.

Trump Attempts To Purchase A Republican Midterm Victory With A ‘$5,000 Dividend Promise’ Paid For By The Same American Taxpayers He Is Asking To Vote

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Where Are The DOGE Checks, Tariff Rebates, $2 Gas And Cheaper Groceries Donald Trump Promised Before Unveiling His New $5,000 Dividend last night?

Donald Trump has returned to the political stage with yet another spectacular promise of free money, this time pledging a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” to every American adult—but only if Republicans retain control of Congress in November. That is not an economic plan; it is an election-year cash inducement with Trump’s name stamped across it. Washington is already drowning beneath more than $40 trillion in debt, yet Trump is dangling a payout that could cost approximately $1.3 trillion without explaining where the money will come from. The message could hardly be more blatant: give Republicans your vote, and Trump says he will give you a check purchased with your own tax dollars. Now we see Donald Trump for who he really is, a shameless conman who will say anything, do anything, and promise anything to retain power. Please see the following 9 unfulfilled promises he has made over the past 18 months.

“I said in my haste, All men are liars.” Psalms 116:11 (KJB)

But before Americans begin spending this imaginary $5,000, perhaps we should ask what happened to all the previous promises. Where are the DOGE dividend checks? Where are the tariff rebate checks? Where is the 10% cap on credit-card interest? Where are the dramatically lower interest rates, cheaper groceries, lower electricity bills and $2 gasoline? Wait, I know! 4D Chess and the Art of the Deal!

I’M STILL WAITING FOR…
1 THE DOGE DIVIDEND CHECKS
2 THE TARIFF REBATE CHECKS
3 LOWER ENERGY PRICES
4 THE 10% CAP ON CREDIT-CARD INTEREST
5 DRUGS THAT ARE “1,000–1,500% CHEAPER”
6 $2-A-GALLON GAS
7 CHEAPER GROCERIES
8 LOWER INTEREST RATES
9 A “GREAT HEALTHCARE PLAN” THAT ACTUALLY BECOMES LAW
Americans were told prescription drugs would become “1,000 to 1,500% cheaper,” a mathematical impossibility, while Trump’s so-called “Great Healthcare Plan” remains largely a collection of proposals waiting for Congress to act. Even where limited drug discounts have materialized, they bear little resemblance to the sweeping, fantastic claims repeatedly made from the podium. Liar, liar, pants on fire, Donnie.

This has become the Trump political formula: announce something enormous, attach his name to it, dominate the headlines and then move on before anyone asks whether it ever happened. The check is always “coming,” the prices are always “about to fall,” the healthcare plan is always just around the corner, and prosperity is always one more Republican election victory away. Now, with gasoline averaging more than $4 nationally and working Americans still being crushed by food, housing, insurance and borrowing costs, Trump is attempting to replace yesterday’s unfulfilled promises with an even bigger one. America does not need another campaign-show “dividend.” It needs accountability for the promises already made, and results that exist somewhere outside a Trump speech.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How The ‘Strange Fire’ Of Azusa Street, Oral Roberts And The Charismatic Movement Replaced The Authority Of Scripture Part 1

From Azusa Street To Kathryn Krick: How The Strange Fire Of The Modern Charismatic Movement Replaced The Authority Of Scripture With Signs, Wonders And Seducing Spirits

The modern Charismatic movement began at Azusa Street by elevating supernatural experience above the written word of God. Charles Parham declared tongues to be the evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost; William Seymour carried that teaching into the 1906 Azusa Street Revival; and Aimee Semple McPherson later joined Pentecostal manifestations to celebrity, theatrical production and mass media. After World War II, William Branham popularized the “anointed man” claiming angelic visitations and supernatural discernment, while Oral Roberts transformed the healing tent into a television empire and turned miracles into merchandise through “seed-faith.” What began as emotional manifestations had become a profitable religious industry in which the preacher possessed the anointing, the audience supplied the money and the sick were blamed when the promised miracle failed.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 (KJB)

The counterfeit continued mutating. The 1948 Latter Rain movement announced the restoration of modern apostles and prophets; the Charismatic Renewal carried tongues and manifestations into Protestant denominations and Roman Catholicism; Word of Faith preachers such as Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland turned faith into a force and giving into a formula for prosperity; Toronto and Brownsville normalized shaking, screaming, falling and uncontrolled behavior as evidence of revival; and the New Apostolic Reformation combined restored apostles, private revelation, territorial spirits, deliverance, Seven Mountain dominionism and Christian Nationalism into a global religious network. Through every stage, the same deadly exchange was taking place: “What saith the scripture?” was replaced by “What did you feel?” and the authority of the Bible was surrendered to whoever claimed to possess the newest prophecy, impartation or anointing.

Kathryn Krick is not a strange departure from that history—she is its logical conclusion. Azusa Street now has a smartphone, the healing tent has become a viral video, the prayer cloth has become an online course, and the travelling faith healer has become a social-media “apostle” commanding demons before millions of viewers. From Parham and Seymour to Branham, Roberts, Copeland, Bethel and Krick, the faces and technology have changed, but the spirit remains the same: another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel wrapped in signs, wonders and Christian vocabulary. The modern Charismatic movement promises believers more power while quietly removing the only authority capable of exposing the counterfeit—the preserved, inspired and infallible word of God. The fire that began on Azusa Street is still burning, but Christians had better test the spirits before they call the fire holy. Because it’s not.

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you the strange fire and the counterfeit signs, miracles, wonders and seducing spirits of the Charismatic Movement. This is Part 1 in a series.

Chaplain Turner At The Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center In Florida Wants To Give A Bible To Every One Of The Youths Placed In His Charge

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Doors Are Open At Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center As Bibles Behind Bars Prepares To Reach Young Inmates With The Word Of God

The Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center may officially be listed as a 50-bed facility, but Chaplain Turner tells us that on a normal day he is ministering to somewhere between 60 and 75 young people at a time. These are teenagers as young as 12-years old and young adults who have already found themselves on the wrong side of the law, many of them frightened, angry, confused, and facing consequences they never imagined would come so quickly. But right there, behind locked doors and concrete walls, God has opened a tremendous door for the gospel of the grace of God. Chaplain Turner has asked us to help him put a Bible into the hands of every single youth in his charge, and that is exactly the kind of mission Bibles Behind Bars was created for.

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Psalm 119:9 (KJB)

A teenager walks into detention frightened, angry, facing charges, perhaps wondering what is going to happen to his life — and waiting there is a chaplain who wants to put a King James Bible into his hands that we provided. With a daily population of 60 to 75 youths and hundreds passing through the facility over the course of a year, this has the potential to become a continuing pipeline of King James Bibles into the hands of young people at one of the most critical crossroads of their lives. Some of these youths may never have owned a Bible, never have heard a clear presentation of the gospel and many have families who have completely given up on them. But God has not closed the door, and neither should we. Let’s flood the Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center with enough Bibles for all of the, come help us!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
