Subject: Tithing |
Bible Note: Lest you forget, there is also prelaw "historical precedent" for animal sacrifice (Gen 4:4), marrying your half sister (Gen 20:12) marrying your cousin (Gen 24), and adultery (Gen 16). For the most part, none of which is still condoned today. Yet the OT demand to tithe is not only condoned, but encouraged today. But not in the original form of food and supplies for the Levitical priests, but rather in the form of money. Your reference in Malachi is not to the NT Christian, but to the "sons of Jacob" if you took the time to read the passage in context. If you are a Gentile, such as myself, this doesn't even apply to us. After all, all Scripture is to us, but not all Scripture is for us. The TRUTH will MAKE You FREE Luke |
