Bill1973, The Torah (God's law found in the writings of Moses) teaches us where and to whom the tithe is to be paid. If tithing is an example of the unchangeableness of God, then I wonder: Are we still obligated to keep (obey, observe) all of the 613 commands in the Torah (Law)? Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi Kalos, what i want to say is, in Malachi 3:6-10 the passage is telling us that the GOD we are serving is unchangeable GOD and he says we are robbing him in tithing and in offering. So if GOD says he is unchangeable and we decide not to pay tithe then we will be robbing HIM. Bill. | ||||||

Bill - That God is immutable is a given that His true followers accept -- indeed MUST accept -- because it is clearly taught in His word, the Scriptures. Centuries before the incarnation of God's son, Jesus, we read the account in Genesis wherein we are told that He issued a command to a man who found grace in the eyes of the Lord, to build a sea-worthy ship on dry ground. God even gave detailed instructions for building this big boat, which the Bible calls an ark. Were this command and these instructions meant only for the man named Noah, or should they be applied to all faithful men and their families in every age who find grace in the eyes of the Lord? ...... There was a nation which in olden times God chose unto himself to be his peculiar people, a nation that would become known as God's chosen people, the nation Israel. Unto this people God set down certain laws pertaining to their conduct -- their relationship with God (including the observance of the tithe), their relationship with other nations and even among themselves, how they should treat one another. ....... God is immutable. He does not change. Therefore, why shouldn't God's people today (1) build arks (2) pay their tithes and (3) otherwise observe all the other aspects of the Law, just as it was laid down to Israel in the Old Testament? ...... Something is wrong with our intrepretation of what the Bible means by God's immutability when we assume that God cannot and does not have the sovereign right (or ability) to deal with His creation as he pleases. The Bible supports no such assumption as this, that God is locked in a box or that, by His being immutable, He has painted Himself in a corner. It's always wise to go back to the fundamentals and make doubly sure that one is "rightly dividing the word of truth" (See 2 Timothy 2:15). The subject of the immutability of God leads us into deep theological waters that are quite over my head and to some degree, I suspect, over the heads of all mortal men. But it is certain we err to think that God's immutable nature precludes Him from dealing with His people in various ways at different times of human history. "God who at sundry times and in divers [diverse] manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1,2, KJV). ...... As regarding tithing in the New Testament, it simply isn't there, it is not taught that Christians should observe the Old Testament tithe. Christian giving is taught, however, as evidenced by 1 Corinthians 16:2, "Upon the first days of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there by no gatherings [collections] when I come." For further details on giving, see 2 Corinthians, Chapters 8 and 9. --Hank | ||||||

Just wanted to add here. Since all the Older testament symbolisim are shadows of things to come, and the fulfillment is greater than the original then one would have to say that if the old Testament Tithe was a Tenth then how much Greater shoud we give now with such a great a Salvation.
