Just as the serpent beguiled Eve in the garden of Eden, many Pastor’s around the world beguile the members of their flock. In doing so, they emulate the serpent.

A Warrior’s Armor
by Ronald W Robey
Many pastors, in an attempt to prove that men should not dress like women, will often use Deuteronomy 22:5 as their “proof-text”.
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
If one looks at the Hebrew from which the English was translated, one will discover that the verse is not saying what many Pastors today want it to say.
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
The Hebrew from which the word “man” is translated is the word גֶּבֶר geber. (pronounced gheh’-ber) It means, “a valiant man; a warrior”.
Had Moses been speaking of man in general, he would have used the word “adam”. (pronounced ah-dahm) Instead, Moses used the word for a valiant man, a warrior.
What is it that a warrior wears? He wears battle armor, correct? So the admonishment is that a woman is not supposed to put on battle armor.
But, is there further proof to substantiate this thought? I believe there is,… and I believe that proof is also found in Deuteronomy 22:5.
The word “pertaineth” is translated from the Hebrew “k@liy”. (pronounced kel-ee) The primary definition is “something prepared”. There are several secondary definitions given for the Hebrew word “k@liy”. Interestingly, one of those definitions for “k@liy” is “armour”
I believe the admonishment is for women not to put on battle armor to go to war. Likewise, the warrior is not to put on the dress of the woman in an attempt to neglect his duty as a soldier.
There are other verses that do tell us that males in general should not dress up like women. The strongest argument against men “cross-dressing” is found in the first epistle to the saints at Corinth.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
The word “effeminate” is speaking of those men who would put on the dress of a woman. Those that do such “shall not inherit the Kingdom of God”.

Many people say that a Pastor is “fleecing the flock” when he takes monetary tithes of them.

The Tither’s Foolish “Curse”
by Ronald W Robey
Pastors have been entrusted with flocks to lead, (1 Peter 5:1-4) However many have abused that privilege and have handled the word of God deceitfully.
They teach their flocks to believe unScriptural doctrines, such as the doctrine that people are cursed if they do not tithe their monetary income. The deceived members of the flock then turn around and repeat their ungodly indoctrination to the ears of people who are not tithing their monetary income.
In pronouncing a curse upon those who are not tithing their monetary income, they are unwittingly placing a curse upon Jesus Christ, His Apostles, and every saint in the New Testament Epistles as well.
How are they pronouncing a curse upon Jesus Christ, His Apostles, and ever saint in the New Testament Epistles? The same way they pronounce a curse upon non tither-s today.
For, you see, neither Jesus Christ, nor His Apostles, nor any saint mentioned in the New Testament Epistles are said to have ever tithed their monetary income. Therefore, if people are truly cursed for not tithing their monetary income as people in the monetary income tithe camp claim, then surely Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and every saint in the New Testament Epistles are cursed a well.
Before I am accused of trying to curse Jesus Christ, let me assure you I have not and never will. Nor have I attempted to curse His Apostles nor have I attempted to curse any saint in the New Testament Epistles.
It is the pro-tither’s who are placing the curse upon them.
