1 | titheing?the church or the needy? | Mal 3:8 | Robindb723 | 125219 | ||
Reference Malachi 3:8,9,10,11 Where Gods word says if you do not pay tithes to the storehouse or where you are spiritually fed that you are a robber. He promises to bless you and rebuke Satan in your affairs when you obey his word. Some people say that that was an old testament law but I have tried it myself for many many years and God has never let me go hungry. He has met all my needs because I was faithful to him. Giving to the poor is something every christian should do aside from tithing. Tithing is only to go to the church where you go and are spiritually fed. God is awesome and His word works everytime just like he promised. Sometimes it is hard to let go of that 10 per cent but once you get started you will be surprised how far the 90 per cent will stretch. I love paying tithes. |

2 | titheing?the church or the needy? | Mal 3:8 | kalos | 125225 | ||
'Tithe 'A portion of one’s earnings, usually one tenth, that is given to those who perform the work of the Lord, since it belongs to the Lord (Lev. 27:30-33). Those who received tithes in the OT consisted of priests (Num. 18:21-32). Further OT references are Gen. 14:20; 28:22; 2 Chron. 31:5f; Mal. 3:7-12. 'In the NT there is no command to tithe a tenth...But the tithe is mentioned in Luke 18:9-14; 1 Cor. 16:1; 2 Cor. 8' (http://www.carm.org/dictionary.htm). Where in Malachi or anywhere else in the Bible does it say we are to pay tithes to the place "where we are spiritually fed"? Where in the Bible does it say "Tithing is only to go to the church where you go and are spiritually fed"? Not one verse in the entire Bible contains both of these words, "tithe" and "church". |
