1 | Can you please explain tithing? | Deut 14:1 | jlhetrick | 163434 | ||
hello kisha, Good points. Remember too that it is all that we are blessed with that we are to give back to God from. Not just our money, but our time and other resources. Regarding the return blessing, I have always thought of it like this. I do give "expecting" to get back because God promises this and He also says "test me" on this issue. I agree with you on the motivation issue. If my motivation for giving is because I am expecting something back, then I am giving with the wrong motivation. We should give because we are commanded, we are thankful, we recognize that we only have what God has provided in the first place, we want to see God's plan furthered, etc. But when God promises something, we should expect it, this includes blessings.

hello inmyheart, Your welcome. Your right. Someone being right and someone being wrong is not the point here. The truth is what is important. I know that the day will come when I see Him face to face and I believe that at that time I will find that I was wrong on many points. I have been corrected on this very forum which has helped to add to my understanding and knowledge. I am thankful for that. If there is anything I enjoy about debating these issues it is that 1). I learn more through my own searching 2). I learn from others, and 3). I hope to pass something on that's beneficial. I do have a rule for myself regarding discussing the teachings of God. I believe what I believe because I have come to believe it through my personal study and sitting under the teaching of others. I have enough experience to be able to look back and see that some beliefs I have had needed correcting as I learned more. I'm sure this will always be the case. But I am careful to reconsider my beliefs based only on the basis of scripture. Thanks for your kind comments, Jeff |
