1 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 21973 | ||
Greetings Johnny! Are you saying that we are not commanded in the NT to give 10 percent as tithes? Do you have a scripture where Jesus releases us from this commandment? prayon | ||||||
2 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22136 | ||
Prayon, Let me again use this verse to explain my stand. Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. When this teaching received by paul in Jesus Christ it is the passage that will free us from that law. Do you agree that tithe is including in the law of moses? it is mentioned there that we are not justified by the law of moses. As christians we are now observe the teaching of Jesus Christ, we also now eat the food that according to the teaching moses is not allowed for the Jew. My question to you now is why we exclude tithe from all those things? Do you think you can show me that when apostle paul say those passage he exclude the tithe? Ephesians 2:11-12 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: We also not observe the law called circumcision, why we are not observe those things which included in the law of moses, why we still observed the tithe which is included also in the same law? It is look we are not consistent? Luke 18:12-17 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. In that verses its very clear that we are not going to be justified by the law of Moses if recall he tell Jesus that He followed carefully the commandments of Moses (ten commandments and others) but then the question Is he justified? If you can show me that tithe is excluded in the law of Moses and I will observe the tithe. But then if you observe one of those laws you must observe all the teaching included in that same laws. Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Again I am not telling anyone that giving is wrong, if you can give more than your 10 percent it is acceptable to God, but it is not a requirement. It is not important how much you can give but the most important is how much you love to give because God love the cheerful giver. Thank you, Johnny |

3 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 22143 | ||
Greetings Johnny. I believe we have been released from the law of Moses. But I have always been taught that we are to tithe 10 percent of our earnings although you have made some valid pooints I have never thought of. What scripture points to the fact that tithing is under the law of Moses? By the way I am a saved, sactified and filled with the Holy Ghost Christian. prayon | ||||||

Prayon, Me the same as you mention, I am also a tithe giver, we observe that. Even my parents I've ask them to give tithe correctly because It was taught to us of our pastor. They always use Mal 3:10 Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. I am not saying that this verse is wrong it is truly right. But of course we have to consider time and event when we are reading the scriptures. As all we know it was address to the decendants of Jacob if you read Mal. 3:6 Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. But when Jesus Christ crusified we free from all this things. Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. As you mentioned you always been taught to give 10 percent of your earnings, but try those points that I mentioned to you. Maybe you can ask those to your pastors, then if you got a valid answer from him please share it to me. I am open to my believed prayon, if someone can explain to me that tithe is really the requirement so we can go to heaven I will accept that teaching again. Thank you, Johnny |

Johnny - I also am born-again. And as a reader of the Bible, I see no where that you have to give a certain percentage to "go to Heaven". We all know that the only thing you have to do is to believe that Jesus is Lord and died for our sins, repent and ask Him into our hearts. But we are talking about pleasing Him, not receiving our salvation. Jost to clarify for those who do not understand the way to the Lord. Debbie |
