Bible Question: I firmly believe that we are not under the law and as New Testement believers are not required to tithe. However many churches yet preach tithing and that we are under a curse if we do not tithe. How can this be, especially when it is plainly stated in scripture? Why is there so much confusion. |
Bible Answer: Dear sparkman Let me answer your question with a question. If no one tithed, then how would you expect a preacher to live, raise his family, feed, and clothe them. etc. etc?
