1 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220666 | ||
I have studied the book of Hebrew PUP. I have studied many books using these in depth studies. My view so far is that tithing is something that was given to Israel under the old covenant. Under the new covenant we are under grace. No where under the new covenant is there a demand for a certain percentage to be given. Rather it does say take care of orphans, widows, help the poor, take care of your family. The physical church today does not co these things rather the majority goes to pay salaries. Therefore to demand a percentage is not right. Paul never demanded money. He asked if people wanted to participate and made a case thar they should give. However my point is he did not tell them how much to give. A thorough study of the book of Hebrews shows that we are under a new covenant. As for Abraham if you can show me that this is a mandate for the new covenant I will be willing to look at it. Grace is grace. Law is law. We are under grace. Does that give us a right to sin; as Paul said May it never be. Are you going so far as to say it is a sin not to give a certain percentage or to give only to the local church? What are giving as the Lord leads, to different causes and different amounts as the individual has purposed in his heart. Good day. | ||||||

Dear Val, You are to be commended for your much study of the Word. We are blessed as part of the fruit of that effort. Furthermore, it is a good example worthy of our emulation. May I ask you, with your hermeneutic, what is your exegesis of a passage like 1 John 3:4? I do not recall you commenting on that verse. Thank you for your thoughts. In Him, Doc |

3 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | Val | 220674 | ||
The tithe us not repeated in the new testment. It was given to Israel under the mosiac covenant. We are certainly told to support the church but the ways and means is left to each individual believer. To demand 10 percent is in my view legalism to me. I am under grace and liberty in the New covenant. I do not wish to debate this topic any longer. Good Day | ||||||

Dear Val, Yes, ma'am. As you wish. Don't feel intimidated -- we are all learning. I still hope to hear what you might have to say about 1 John 3:4. I have heard it very poorly exegeted by legalists of one sort or another, but I have never heard it exegeted by an antinomian. I also do not recall how a POP study dealt with it. Thank you, anyway. In Him, Doc |
