1 | Can you please explain tithing? | Deut 14:1 | jlhetrick | 163316 | ||
Hi again jl, in my response to you I asked if you believe the command to tithe is still relevant. That was before I saw this post, sorry. Well, you do not believe the tithe is still commanded, so the last part of my question in the previous post still stands. Can you give scriptural support for your beleif? I don't mean a single verse taken out of context, but actual biblical teaching that supports your belief here. P.S., always remember context. It is dangerous to take a single verse and attempt to make meaning of it out of the context in which it is provided and the wider teaching of the word of God. I in no way intend to accuse you of doing this on purpose so don't be offended by my next comment. Refer to the book of Matthew chapter four. You will see Satan himself attempting to use the very words of scripture out of context in order to decieve the Lord. Interestingly, the Lord does not attempt to debate with Satan; He simply provides more scripture in order to put the devils qote into context and therefore provide truth and meaning. With this in mind, please never attempt to answer another's question with a single verse. With love, Jeff |

I believe Malachi 3:8-12 might explain if tithe is commanded. 8 “ Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘ In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation. 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “ If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. 11 “ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the LORD of hosts; 12 And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the LORD of hosts. I'm not sure about the quantum but I think there are lot of mentions about one tenth in the bible though. There is also a question if the one tenth is net or gross of ones income. In the end its one belief if he wants to pay or not. Even if another man says that it is not a command, no one can judge if he does not want to pay. Its between him and God. Not for us to say. I believe the holy spirit will lead one to it one time or other. |

There is no question of tithe being commanded, the question is that if there is commandments of Christ in the NT that requires anyone to give tithes. Can you show verses that Christ requires His desciples to tithe? Did the desciples requires thier members to tithe? Who are the people that has the commandments to received tithes? Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: It is levi my friend, not the pastors today because I am sure they are not sons of levi. Another thing, Tithes are part of the law, according to paul it will not justify us. 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. Why keep doing the things that cannot justify you and me? unless you can prove that tithes (ten percent) is not part of the law? What kind of commandments was given to Christians about giving to God? 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. According to purpose of the heart, if someone requires you to give 10 percent of your income, it is not purposes of the heart but as a requirements. Did Tithes and covenants belong to Christians? NO! De 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. De 5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. That covenant is given to them specifically not to thiers fathers, but even them who are alive that day? Are we there that day? are we important than thier fathers? if that commandments is not given to thier fathers which is isralites, how come it will include you and me? Are there specific covenants for the Christians? Yes! Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. |

Hi bro, I would rather think it this way. Jesus said to love your neighbour as you would love yourself and in Mat 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. Now if I am going to bless someone in need, what is wrong in giving tithes to the church. Do I need to be commanded by Christ to give to the needy? No. I would think as being a christian I will do all these without asking for justification nor recognition. Justification has nothing to do with tithes. If you believe so, then your are subjecting yourself to the law by such thought . I am giving tithes not because I want justification. I am giving because I love the church and it needs funds to function so that it may bless others as well especially non believers. To me, I believe the 10 percent is just a ball park figure remembering what Paul had said 2Cor 8:12 12 For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have. I will give (not pay) whatever I can afford. Like I said, its between me and the Lord and no one else. I do not even put my name on the cheque when I handed the tithe to the church so even my pastor does not know I gave. Not necessary. |

Malachi 3:8 that if you don't tithe you rob God. and you are cursed with a curse.Malichi tells us in 3:10 bring all the tiths into the store house that there may be meat in my house,and this is the only place in the bible where god tells us to prove him and see if he will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing,that there shall not be enough room to recive it. remember the earth is the lords and everything in it belongs to him, that inclouds 100 percent of your income is his, just something for you to think about. |

You are right! It is all HIS!! The Tithe is not required in the new covenant. Keep it in context. Mal 3:6 puts this class of people required to tithe as "ye Sons of Jacob". The Tithe wasn't money, you'll notice he didn't want the tithe put into a vault. Read Leviticus, the tithe was food!!! Imaging putting food in an offering plate at your church!!! I'm not Jewish, therefore not a son of Jacob. I have been delivered from the law (Old Testament) of Sin and Death! Read Galatians. Quit going back and inserting the Law of Moses into the Christian Life! By the way, GOD doesn't want your money, Christ wants to live HIS life through you, he forgave your Sins (all of them) when Christ shed His blood and Died on the Cross. Mankind has been forgiven of our sins (PRAISE GOD) We've been reconciled to GOD, planned before the foundations of the world, Ephesians 1:4. John 3:16 says "whosoever believes will have EVERLASTING LIFE" It mentions nothing about forgiveness of sins. It has already been provided for us. God Bless |

Saint Luke, Go back to the Gospels and read what Jesus said about the law,He came to fulfill the law.Fulfill does not mean abolish. Yes we are now under a new covenenent and yes things such as animal sacrifices were no longer needed.Paul states that the law was a teacher to point us to Christ.Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water. Check out Romans 15:4. Everything in the bible was either written to us or was written for our learning. In Christ, lionheart |

What did Jesus mean when He said "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill" (Matt 5:17)? He did not mean that by paying tithe, He fulfill the law. Did Christ exclude the tithes when he gave the new commandments? If we fulfill tithes not observing other which is part of it, Jesus Christ will call us hypocrites! Mt 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! What did Jesus mean when He said "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill" (Matt 5:17)? He fulfill it not the same way of how people of Israel observing it as law of moses. 1. Law as being the law of moses it prohibited to go out in the day of Sabbath Ex 16:29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. Nu 15:32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. Nu 15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. Nu 15:36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. Jesus did many things, in Sabbath day. Mt 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. Mr 2:23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. Lu 14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? So how did Jesus fulfill the law? It is very different from the it was in the time of Moses? When Christ do those things in Sabbath day? Did He ever imprudent of what He was saying in " (Matt 5:17) "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. See Jesus fulfill the law different ways, not paying tithes, not requiring anyone to tithes. God bless, |
