These laws of giving really applied to the Old Testament agrarian society. Today, we follow the guidelines given in New Testament passages such as 2 Cor 8-9, and Phil 4. I think the New Testament principle of giving is well summed up in: 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 Each one as he purposes in his heart, not out of grief or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace to abound toward you, that in everything, always having all self sufficiency, you may abound to every good work; We give as we have decided for ourselves, knowing that God will give us all we need to accomplish as He wishes us to. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi brother Mark, good response. But will you please cite the bible translation from which you quoted 2 Corinthians 9:7-8. I noticed your translation, in verse 9, says "..always having all SELF sufficienty.." (emphasis added). It appears that the SELF sufficiency kinda contradicts the "God is able". Not splitting hairs I hope, but this really jumped out at me and I did a parrallel search of about 10 or 12 translations and couldn't find the "self" in any of them. In Christ, Jeff |
