The word Plunder has several meanings
To rob, or fleece from others who are unprotected or unaware.
To take wrongfully, by means of pillage, robbery, or fraud.
The false teachings of Tithing and obeying the Sabbath, represent an immense fraud that enables this plunder to flourish.
Tithing and the commandment to keep the Sabbath, were a part of the Old Testament law and ordinances, and Christians are under the New Law of Christ.
There is no command for the New Covenant Church to tithe, or to keep the Sabbath.
If your preacher says that you are sinning and robbing God by not tithing, this is not only the identification of a Christian Cult, but of a liar and thief.
1 Tim 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Most false teachers in the Church would say that the double honor mentioned here is monetary in nature, and payable in part to them. However the true laborer has the reward of living by the very words of the gospel that they preach.
When the church is involved with selling their truth, this is an identification of a Christian Cult. The reward that the false teachers in the Church seek after is a monetary one, and they have no problem whatsoever in twisting scriptures to facilitate this plunder.
This wall which divided the Old Testament believers of God, from all that would become the New Testament believers, was the law of commandments contained in ordinances.
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Christ abolished the Mosaic Law and ordinances, including tithing and sin offerings.
Heb 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
Christians are not required to tithe, nor are they to make offerings for their sins.
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Jesus paid the price for all of our sins, this includes those who were under the first testament covenant given to the Hebrews through Moses. Through Christ alone, these who were faithful could also receive Christ’s promise of eternal life through Him.
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
The true followers of Jesus are not under the Old Testament law of bondage, but the new law of liberty which is in Christ. The new covenant of Christ was established upon better promises (Heb 8:6).
2 Cor 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
This giving is out of love, and it does not necessarily relate to money. It is based on compassion as opposed to ordinances. More often than naught, sharing time, talents and knowledge with others is a much larger sacrifice.
Let us therefore give out of a pure heart. True Christians are not required to tithe, but they truly love to give unto others.
The law of Christ is not of a carnal commandment, but He is the means unto eternal life (Heb 7:16).
