What are your thoughts on how this story and tithing apply to the Mormon (LDS) church?
Comment from : @Commenter2121

Not just the mega churches ! Small churches too!
Comment from : @kimberlyd7398

I had a dream one time and they were taking up offerings No one was putting in money They were putting in a piece of paper on which they had written some sin or hindrance that they were giving up so they could be closer to Jesus It has forever changed my thoughts on what the Father wants of his children Tithing was for the jews also and never required of the gentiles The old system of even that was done away with when Jesus died on that cross and rose again the third day

It’s a little scary to take a step back and see the overall picture here that this „Pastor“ is describingbrHe calls on his congregation to make a sacrifice in the House of God (Temple?)…brAre we back to Temple Sacrifice now?brWasn’t Jesus the final and ultimate Sacrifice?!brThat is more wicked than it seems on first glancebrThis is some Book of Hebrews type stuff

I so totally do not like Robert Morris, since the first time I saw his face & heard his voice My spirit does not witness with something about him 😢😢
Comment from : @janiliebenberg4407

These are the reasons why Jesus said we don’t need a man to teach us ; rather The Holy SpiritbrGiving is of the heart
Comment from : @douglastillman9559

It wasn't giving, it was robbery
Comment from : @rettpanda6203

Was this her first time giving? Was this her frequent giving? Did she believe what Jesus taught on 'seek first the kingdom of God and these things shall be add to you? Did she believe out of her poverty she can be generous? Did she believe her righteous deed will never let her go hungry? Did she believe the God of Israel provide manna and quail daily to his people? So Jesus just use the woman as a teaching point and let her go on with the abuse of her poverty?

Robert Morris master manipulater/ now selling used cars in Austin
Comment from : @Odelot-p2j

BUT he went to Heaven !!! There are so many pastors who went to Heaven but I'm surprised why Jesus doesn't sit down and correct them in some issues if their livesI'm not judging them , just surprised that their not corrected by Jesus when they go to heavenNow There is a man by the name of Rick Joyner, now he clearly talks about how he was corrected by the Lord when He visited heaven

Comment from : @douglasbrinkman5937

I've been saying this for years but so many Christians have this false teaching burned in their minds it's almost impossible to convince them otherwise

Comment from : @michaelmerck7576

The reason why Jesus was watching The Temple Treasury (Mark 12:41-44) between his condemnation of Jewish religious leaders (Mark 12:38-40) and his prediction of the Temple’s demolition (Mark 13) When you read the story in this context, you find verbal connections between the widow’s offering to the Temple and Jesus’ predictions of judgment Jesus is not talking about generosity or self-sacrificial love before or after the story of the widow He is talking about how corrupt the religious leaders are who control the Temple and how the Temple is going to be completely destroyed in a future act of divine judgment If you read carefully, you recognize that Jesus talks about widow’s in the preceding context and the Temple in his subsequent remarks to the disciples That context is how we should understand the story about the widow’s offering her last few cents to the Temple Treasury Jesus is angry at the Jewish teachers who are persuading widow’s to give all their money to the Temple Treasury He sees a corrupt religious system that no longer honors God’s heart to care for the needy Teachers of the Law no longer honor the intent of the Law Instead, the system has created a wealthy religious personage who construct lavish buildings and pray in long robes to glorify their public reputation, while the poor go insolvent That’s why he isn’t impressed by the “wonderful synagogues, seats and banquets” in the Temple Jesus is intentionally highlighting the widow’s offering to the Temple Treasury as an illustration of how disorderliness, Jerusalem is He is condemning Jerusalem’s leaders just like Amos and Isaiah and Ezekiel did before him The widow’s offering is evidence of what Ezekiel saw in the Temple over 600 years earlier: “The people of the land have practiced oppression and committed robbery, and they have wronged the poor and needy and have oppressed the sojourner without justice” (Ezekiel 22:29)

If you learn rightly dividing and dispensations you will see scripture clearer
Comment from : @rickcampanella4254

Our church still uses this ugh
Comment from : @Cozy4evr

I knew a lady at a church I used to attend who was compelled to put her food stamps in the offering plate (this was before food stamps went digital) I assume the church gave them back, but it was rather disturbing that she felt compelled to sacrifice her food just because the church was pressuring everyone to tithe
Comment from : @briankady1456

I have to disagree with you on some of this Having said that, don't take that as a flame I appreciate what you're saying but I think there is some conflation of the issues too Hear me out, if you wouldbrbrI believe the story of the widow's mite is about sacrificial giving It's absolutely about sacrificial giving Now it may be true that the religious elite devour widow's houses It's also true that the religious elite use their position to oppress the people in all manner of ways This lady is living under that system and while we can argue her motives, we still know that Jesus said that she gave more than all of the rest That's a fact It's in the word Now, what is debatable is her motive brbrI attribute her motive and Jesus' response at face value She gave what she had because of her faith Now was that influenced by the false teachings of the Pharisees? Absolutely! The widow today that sends the mega church her month's income may also have the same faith, though it's misplaced due to false teaching That same widow still loves God and, in her mind, is doing what God wants her to do Has she been lied to? Most certainly Has she been hoodwinked? Yep Does that mean she doesn't love God or have faith? No It's sacrificial giving in her mindbrbrI argue that the widow had great faith She gave "what she had to live on" I take the comment of Jesus at face value He laments her situation but commends her faith I may be wrong on thisbrbrHaving said all of that, a widow's giving (or any Christian's giving) is between her and God Not between her and the church or the preacher And to use this passage to compel someone to give all they have is reprehensible There will be an answering for this stuff going on in the churches brbrSecond video I've seen on your channel, and I appreciate your work You're trying to get people to think Biblically, and that is sorely needed in today's Christian culture I'm going to do some reading on this and see if my opinion changes or stays the same I think we're aligned on the most important part of this But regardless, this makes me read and study That's a good thing Keep up your good work
Comment from : @keithconnell8460

I’m not interested in what the church gets or doesn’t get, my act is between me and God, not between me and the church!??
Comment from : @PropheticAngel75

So what you’re saying is that you should never give your last dollar because God will never see that action as faith? brbrCobblesticks!!
Comment from : @PropheticAngel75

Deuteronomy 26:12 the widows were provided for from the tithe I wonder if she gave in faith believing the Word of God that she would be provided for from the tithe offering
Comment from : @Plutobase

This guy is full of false teachings Yor
Comment from : @waydencampher6267

Yeah that always disgusts me that they think this is the standard for giving Jesus was only giving an example of generosity not creative a command on giving!
Comment from : @whenascammercalls247

Why are you doubling down on megachurch pastors in general? You seem to use that designation as a slur Don't you acknowledge that there are truly godly pastors whose churches are megachurches?
Comment from : @newlifeinchristfellowships7658

I absolutely dislike any public collections Giving shouldnt be given under compulsion or publiclyWhen/if I tithe its done anonymously

Comment from : @sonyaweakley4440

Through Leroy Thompson, Creflo Dollar, my former Pastor always used the passage of Scripture to support sacrificial giving
Comment from : @carolynwhite9975

Please don't ever stop making these videos for us You have cleared up so much by explaining exactly what the Scripture says, and I pray that those that are being taken advantage of will watch your videos and start giving to the poor, the orphans, the widows etc You are much appreciated so please don't stop Thank you for everything you are doing for us

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! This is SO FREAKING AMAZING!!!!
Comment from : @devochted

Recently came to know about this context and the actual meaning
Comment from : @Rama-sNatureWorld

I wish that I heard this when I was widowed 14 years ago Our pastor at that time was a money hungry bully, and he coerced me into giving around 50 Thousand dollars of the money my husband left me I thought my finances would be cursed if I didn't It seemed every other sermon was about MONEY! The next pastor was the same-- tithe, tithe, tithe! He asked to be wealthy so he "would have more to give"! Turned out he was helping himself to every penny of the money given to "the church" , spending it on himself and neglecting to pay the mortgage payments on the church building Very disillusioning! Now I know to trust in no man, pastor or not I trust in Jesus for my salvation, and have learned to read the word for myself
Comment from : @kathleenspence4891

Thank you for this message, very eye opening!
Comment from : @heidjemeidje7189

but what does that say about the Widow's character? To me this story is more in tune with Jesus's teaching of being selfless
Comment from : @ch3ckm8

Actually, "devouring widow's houses" was more literal than persuading little old ladies to donate too much It relates to the chauvinist laws of the day, in which women were not allowed to own property As a result, a widow would be turned out of her home when her husband died, and a relative of her former husband would take the property The scribes and pharisees administered this rule, and so were guilty of "devouring widow's houses"

Comment from : @amitthorat3768

thank you
Comment from : @yeewengchiang3295

Jesus speaks both admiration for the widow who would give all her money in self sacrifice and judgment to those who would cause her to think that was God’s will for her, at the same timebrThose that have should cheerfully give and those that have not should thankfully receivebrGod is blessed by sacrifice and thanks givingbrGive all you have thank God for all you receive
Comment from : @davidrichmond21

In the last 26 years since becoming a Christian i have spent tens of thousands of dollars on these false teachers books,cds,dvds and yes cassette tapes Instead of that I could have just read Bible for myself and been less greedy I believe people who listen to these people are biblically illiterate,lazy, and even greedy for more when they probably had all their basic needs met Thankfully i read the Bible for myself and know the real gospel now Please avoid these prosperity tv preachers like the plaque because that is what they are
Comment from : @stevewaldman371

Just found this channel I appreciate this guy for exposing so much corruption and false teaching so prevalent in "christian" tv ie tbn,daystar

Yes!!!
Comment from : @debikerner635

Wow This is mind blowing And I attended church and studied the Bible for years My mom is a big fan of Kenneth Copeland, and when I saw his net worth, I nearly collapsed
Comment from : @BigStickCombat

We have to clearly avoid giving too much to pastors, religious institutions The pastors, the religious institutions are in fact hvg more than enough! Many of them are money making machines, fleecing the people in the name of Jesus! Let's find rather the poor & contribute acc to our capacity with God's knowledge alone This type of giving, will definitely bring blessings upon us Jesus alone is doubtlessly the ONLY GATEWAY TO HEAVEN, let me not delay in accepting Him as my Lord n Saviour lest I may forfeit the ultimate heavenly bliss with Him for eternity

Start looking happy like someone who loves to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ you aren't!!
Comment from : @johannabezuidenhout4252

Looks like you are against giving why making video's is it uplifting of breaking down in what people are led to do I am glad off the testimonies I've got in giving how God has blessed me If you led by the Holy Spirit you can never go wrong, that's what Jesus said before he was ascended to heaven, He leaves us the Holy Spirit that will lead and teaches us and thats who we suppose to listen to

Jesus said don't take from his poor
Comment from : @esayzz7564

Mark 12:38-40 is talking about taking advantage of RICH widows They steal their wealth by giving them a "show" in return You are putting the wrong connection between these verses I agree that the story of the widow's mite is not about how great the poor widow is; instead, it is about condemning those rich people who give from their abundance as a kind of show The behavior of the Pharisee in vs 38-40 and of the rich people in 41-44 is the same: both are going around putting on a show to look super spiritual, when in reality, they are extremely far from God

Comment from : @Sham9909

Great points If the 'church' of the time under the Pharisees and their false teachings had been following God's command to care for the widows she never would have been in a position to feel she needed to give her last two mites she owned The Pharisees turned God's Word upside down and were taking from her!!

Comment from : @justinthyme5382

Warning !! Be careful quoting John MacAuthur Who teaches ‘one can take the Mark of The Beast and still be saved’ and who is a multi-millionaire with several homes and partners with heretics this channel has probably called out Do more research I think Biblically
Comment from : @randallfox4265

Jesus meant what He meant We shouldn't read into it what "we" think he meant She gave more, because she gave of her substance Jesus regarded her offering more because others gave of their leftovers not their bestbrbrA pastor should never require more than people are able The poor's offering should never be disregarded by rejection or disrespect in use
Comment from : @KenjiHouston

I agreed with your clear explanationbrAmen🙏🏻💓
Comment from : @joycetay4460

Just some caution: Don't let this cause you to miss how the Lord is using Pastor Robert to teach the Word of God and the Character of God While I agree we should give to the poor, and that churches need to reevaluate their system of receiving tithes and how they USE the money, the revelation of giving to the church is something that is inspired by scripture (the irony) and the work of God's salvation in people There many people who want to give both to the poor and to the church due to the work of the Holy Spirit in them (untaught to do so by man) and the revelation of scripture by the Holy Spirit Remember, we NEED the Holy Spirit for gifts, teachings, and scripture You must submit 100 to God and stop idolizing your own intellect or knowledge (though knowledge is necessary) and God will open your eyes to more and more

Corrupt teacher teaching, Christ Jesus is teaching how much you have after giving to things of God Many give a little compared to what they have Even if it's hundreds or thousands

Comment from : @mrsmathews705

Greetings from Canada Another great message My husband and I stopped tithing years ago and help others instead It is sad how hundreds of thousands believe the false preachers and teachers and keep giving them money We woke up years ago while in the WOF/charismatic assembly cause we saw that we like many kept giving and waiting for our financial ad other breakthroughs but we were just getting by and the preachers were getting richer So glad God brought us out of that doctrine On another note, we miss watching your friend from Lion of Fire and remember him in our prayers
