1 | Are tithes n offerings required nowadays | Matt 6:19 | Eyes4Zion | 187150 | ||
A Christian friend of mine told me that the bible does not clearly states we must give tithes to the church. He says it mentions it in the old testament but in the new testament something changed. I did not understand clearly what he meant. He mentioned though that even Paul himself -one of the apostles- did not take money from offerings, but he did work on making tents. He then made a comparison as to why church pastors nowadays depend on church members tithes and offerings for their life subsistence when the apostles themselves who were more actively involved in building and expanding the Christian church did not do so. Would you please guide me and show me the true and correct information regarding this issue? I appreciate your sincere help in this issue. Eyes4Zion |

2 | Are tithes n offerings required nowadays | Matt 6:19 | Aslans_Friend | 187151 | ||
Don't store up treasures here on earth, where they can be eaten by moths and get rusty, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves. Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be. Matthew 6:19-21 This is Jesus' word on giving, in my opinion. The Israelites saw 10 percent as the minimum firstfruits that belonged to God, anything less was robbing from God, even by God's word to them (and us, if you will) (Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.) Required? No, however, If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving-large or small-it will be used to measure what is given back to you. Luke 6:38 |
