Subject: I won"t be saved if I don't tithe |
Bible Note: I am not against tithing, our church required us to give love offering not tithes. We have a basis why we teach that tithes is not for the Christian but only for the jews. Some of my basis is in the previous post to you but unfortunately you did not answers those or disprove those. What you did is to quote one verse to another to response my post but not really answers it. I asked you about where the abraham get his tithes? If Jesus Christ will happy with that kind of giving you ignore to answer it. I challenge you to give me any single teaching of Christ that He required anyone to give tithes to Him you again ignore them. It is very easy just show me that Christ has a teaching that required anyone to give tithes to Him and I am convince that tithes is for the Christian today. Here in you post you quoted mal 3:10 gives the blessing for those that tithe and you want your blessing! If your logic is this, then you are telling that Apostle Paul dont have any blessing because none in the new testament that Paul give tithes but love offering, he help his people being a tentmaker. all of the desciples never give thier tithes to Jesus Christ, if your logic is correct then they have no blessing at all after so many things that they have done because they never give tithes! Mal 3:10 indeed is for the jew: If you started at verse 6: Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. He is talking to the people of Israel! not you not me but for the people of Israel, that is why I am asking you in my previous post if you are a jew. Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Tithes is very part of the law it was given specifically to them take a look at this verse: 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. It was mentioned there "The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day" "not with thier fathers" even thier father is not included in that covenant. "but with us, even us, who are all alive this day" are we alive at that time? and you are claiming that we are part of that covenant? I hope you will answers my point. Because I am really answer your point Paul said law of moses cannot justify us, and tithe is very part of the law, meaning tithe cannot justify us. Or you can prove to me that tithe is not part of the law of moses? That show me my friend, any single teaching of Christ that He required anyone to give tithes to Him and we will agree.
