Bible Question: What is the difference between Old Testament tithing and New Testament giving? |
Bible Answer: Greetings West, You asked, "What is the difference between Old Testament tithing and New Testament giving?" In the Old Testament, a tithe was based on the example of Abraham in Genesis 14:20 when he gave a tenth. In contrast, the New Testament does not necessarily affirm the example of Abraham but instead says that we should give to glorify God (Matthew 6:1-4) from a cheerful heart (2 Cor. 9:7). Blessings to you, Makarios |
