1 | Tithing | 2 Cor 9:1 | glory777 | 13286 | ||
Johnny- Tithing per se was not taught by Jesus. But He did commend the widow that gave to the temple her dinas (?) all that she had. He also never taught that the Sabbath should be kept. However, there are things that the old testament gives us that we can apply to our lives. When Abraham brought the tenth to Melchizedek (a type of Christ)it was setting an example. However, the recommendation of Jesus to the widow shows that we should give even more. My church believes the tithe is basic for a standard of giving. For myself, I believe the tithe is basic. It is the least I can give. Other denominations believe go with what your heart says. Jesus is the fulfillment of the law, His Blood was shed as the end to sacrifice and law. But that doesn't mean that we should thrwo out everything waht was taught in the Old Testament. The Sabath, too, was given to man, for God wanted a day to bless us and knew we needed to have that one day set aside to focus on Him and to have a change in our weekly lives for refreshing. So do we need to give, so we can be blessed. Debbie |

2 | Tithing | 2 Cor 9:1 | Doctordodge | 35221 | ||
A free Christian is free to give, free to love, what you chose to do good is your work, you will always go beyond the Law which was fulfilled by Christ's perfect sacrifice. (book of Galatians) We are not to tell each other what we should do. (James) You can agree with others to do certain things. My problem with a standard is that it becomes Man's standard and we begin to judge others on thier works then calling it sin if they dont measure up. Give what you want to and encourage others in Christ. (1 Chorinthians) Jesus loved us I think the first thing we should do is love each other.(The Royal Law) Each one of us is a priest and has a covenant (Hebrew 8) and none is above the other unless he earnes that position by service and love. | ||||||
