1 | NT tithing completely unbiblical? | Matt 23:23 | Jubal | 133374 | ||
Hey Kalos, Even if everything you say is completely true. If you are a believer of God's Word, then you should just WANT TO tithe, even if you don't HAVE TO. Mal 3:10 Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. I want God to bless me!! I am a firm believer that God keeps his promises. Tithing can only help, and not hurt. And the Lord goes on to say... Mal 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts. Tithing is a good way to keep those holes out of your pockets. So since we're all firm believers of the Word of God... whether we have to tithe or not, we should really want to. My God keeps his promises... Peace, Grace, and blessings to you all!! |

2 | NT tithing completely unbiblical? | Matt 23:23 | mark d seyler | 133377 | ||
Does a slave own property? Does a slave, when working at the task his master sets him to, keep the proceeds of his labor? No, the master owns all, and receives the payment. If the master commits his goods to the care if his slave, and instructs his slave to obey the master's orders, and to adhere to the master's values, and work to further the master's purpose, and tells the slave he (the master) will require an accounting of what that slave has done with all that was entrusted to that slave, perhaps we should ask a different question. How much of my Master's goods should I keep to use for myself? How long is this life, and how far away that accounting, that I should seek to enrich myself? Just some food for thought. . . Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark D Seyler, Here is an answer to your questions about biblical giving. Don't stop at ten percent. - Acts 2 44 And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; 45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. (NAS95) Acts 4 34 For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales 35 and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need. (NAS95) - Rather, give 100 percent of your property and possessions to your local church, instead of merely ten percent. Why hold back? (Unless, of course, your local assembly will spend the entire sum on new stereo equipment or landscaping development.) - Blessings, Reighnskye |
