1 | explain tithes acording to malachai 3:10 | Mal 3:10 | Elice Fox | 55576 | ||
hi Johnny, thanks for being so persistant in your question about tithes.years ago when I first became saved, MaL 3:10 fascinated me. the church I belonged to then stressed and taught about tithing. I was paying my tithes on net profit I made and could just barely make it. so one day was listening to Kenneth Copeland on tv. and he said for along time he too was paying his tithes on his net income and spirit of God spoke to him to pay on the gross amount. his ministry at the time was in financial trouble and he did so and got out of financial debt. so I decided to do the same not only because he gave me an example, but because I love the Lord. your local church could not function lights paid etc if it was not for the tithes of its members.I would not tell you to do something I would not do, I to went to class about tithing. so my church gave out a book last year and here is the title so you can research it for yourself. " Tithing" God's Financial Plan. by Dr Norman Robertson.P.O.Box 3330 Matthews N.C. 28106 telephone # 1-888-676-6733. ISBN 0-620-10675-1. it has only 64 pages and you will love it. did not mean to offend you. so keep on being persistant the answer will come into your heart. God bless you. | ||||||

Meaning you cannot show me any single teaching of Christ in the new testament that will require us to give ten percent of our income. Love offering is important but no required amount this is the teaching that given to us by Christ and His apostles. It is very hard to believed that you reject other law of moses and do part of it, as Jesus said it is the same thing what scribes do. Christ I believed set Himself as an examples to us. If tithe or ten percent is important he will make Himself as example into it. When he taught that baptism is important He done it by setting Himself as an example, He asked John to baptize Him in the river of Jordan. Mt 3:13 ΒΆ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Mt 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? Mt 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. Mt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Did Christ required Himself to give ten percent? the answer is NO. To those who required thier members to give ten percent of thier income, they always quoted malachi 3:10 as a promise, if you started reading it from 3:6 it was stated that it is specific to Israel because they are bound by law of moses. Are we Jew we are not and we are not bound by law of moses but by grace. It is very clear that law of moses cannot justify us as I quoted in my last post, and tithe is including in the law of moses. I did not say that giving is bad, but there is no required amount if you can give all of your salaries it is acceptable to Him but there is no required amount. Please show me that tithe is a teaching of Christ, and I will believed you. Paul never required his churchmember to give tithes he work his own to earn his living and to serve the church, he was a tent maker during his evangelical journey. This is the great examples of serving Christ. Again I challenge you to show me that single teaching of Christ that will require us to give ten percent. God bless, Johnny |
