1 | tithes and offerings for today church | Mark 12:42 | Searcher56 | 71576 | ||
Scripture ... Num 18:21, 26; Deu 14:22-27, 28-29; 2 Cor 9:7 jacland5, There were three OT tithes 1) the general tithe paid to the Levites (Num 18:21), who even tithed to the preists (vs 26). 2) the sacred meal tithe (Deu 14:22-27) 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29) We need to give to the Lord first (Num 18:12-13). It is like taxes; the gov't gets their cut first, or second in our case. But, He never stops loving us ... if we don't give, it shows we don't love Him. Love is doing something for another, without thought of anything in return. 2 Cor 9:7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Searcher56... You said in your reply that if we don't give, it shows we don't love Him. I hope you were not talking just about tithe because if your saying that this is the way we show God our love I have really missed the mark. But I am sure I read to much into it.( I give as I purpose in my heart. not undercompulsion) God Bless |

Searcher...I looked at the previous post...exactly what command were you refering to?...The heave offering or the tenth of the tenth or giving your firstfruits to the Levites? KJV Deuteronomy 14:22-23 22. Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 23. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. KJV Deuteronomy 14:26 26. And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, why did we do this for the Levites? KJV Deuteronomy 14:29 (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) I am not under the commandment that was given to the children of Israel back when they recieved their inheritance. I am under Grace, Mercy, Liberty, and the blood of the Lamb of God. God Bless |
