Deuteronomy 16:17


Deuteronomy 16:17: And What it Means to All People!!

By Anthony Joseph Hopkins

        Deuteronomy 16:17 states that every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.  This particular Bible verse is in the Mosaic Laws.  However, I want to inform everyone that God is being very flexible when it comes to paying tithes and offerings.  I did not know that tithes are supposed to be added to the household budget.  For example, if a person is earning $900.00 per month, this means that we will have to pay $90.00 per month in tithes and offerings.

        Next, I want to say that this particular Bible verse is no longer emphasized.  This is simply because we are under the New Covenant.  Although this Bible verse is very nice and generous.  I know that everyone has to pay according as he wishes.  Basically, we are making God angry with us when we do not pay tithes and offerings.  My overall bills come up to $850.00 dollars per month.  If I include my tithes and offerings, I will have to pay a total of $100.00 per month.

Further, I want to inform all of you that some people in Moses time did not have income.  They utilized livestock, silver, and gold.  To be honest, the wages that people earned was not worth anything.  I am not criticizing the way that God did His business.  It is that people worked an entire day for wages.  This is the reason why I wrote an essay concerning people who earned fix incomes do they still have to pay tithes and offerings?  The answer to this question is yes. 

Moreover, I really feel that some of the Old Testament Bible Verses should be emphasized in today’s times.  Right now, it is not very easy for anyone who earns a Disability Check to pay tithes and offerings.  Some do and some do not pay anything to the Church that they attend each week.  I know that my life at this moment has been complicated.  My life has been complicated because I owe student loans and other debts. 

Finally, I want to say that at least God is very flexible with everyone.  I do not want to make God angry with me ever again.  To be honest, I will have to include my 10% of my income to pay tithes and offerings.  I really think God is really giving everyone a break because I have some valuables that I can sell each month for money.  I have a Book called My Grace is Sufficient for me.

 

 

 

  My book is not selling because I could not afford the marketing fees to market my book.  My book is small, and I feel that I can at least accomplish a goal for God.  To be completely honest with all of you, I owe $22,500 dollars in student loans from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  I was enrolled in school only for a short period of time.  I graduated from the University of Toledo on June 12, 1993 and June 17, 1995 respectively.  I earned my degree from The University College. 

In Conclusion, I want to inform all of you that I am doing the best I can just to pay bills and survive.  May the God of Peace be with all of you.  I really feel that I have selected an essay that comes right out of the Bible.  It might be from the Old Testament, but I feel that I have knowledge and experience when it comes to the Bible.

What is Forgiveness Part #2

  What is Forgiveness Part 2 By Anthony Joseph Hopkins May 8, 2021           Forgiveness Part #2 is simply about asking a very important question.   How many times shall I forgive my brother?   The answer is 70*7 = 490 times.   I will admit that I have to work on this issue myself.   This is simply because people has been cussing me out as of late.   I know that I have to forgive each person 490 times.     This is the truth.   I know that it is very hard for me to forgive each person 490 times.   I know that each person must forgive me a total of 490 times.   I have had one of my AA Sponsee cuss me out to my face.   I did not say or do anything to him personally. I have learned to become humble as of late.   I have more respect for other people’s feelings.   I am a sinner that needs grace and mercy. Next, I want to say that I have put up with a lot of crazy stuff f...

Matthew 5:23-24

Matthew 5:23-24!! What does this means to all people?         Good Day Everyone!! This is an essay that pertains to the Beatitudes inside of Matthew 5 th -7 th  Chapters.  I have selected two of the Bible verses just to place emphasis.  First, I want to say that this is not very easy for some people to apologize to another person, especially after you have done something wrong to that person.  For me personally, I want to inform all of you that my baby brother called me a homosexual because I am responsible for paying my other brother and a friend’s phone bill each month.  I understand that my brother called me out of my name without just cause.         Next, I want to inform everyone that my brother was out of line for calling me out of my name.  I have confronted him about the problem, but he refuses to reconcile.  Therefore, I am praying for him each and every single day of the we...
