Bible Note: You are right tithes is for God, under the law of moses the people of Israel commanded to give thier tithes to levites. But in the time of Christ, He never require anyone to give thier tithes. The apostle also not required thier folowers to give tithes to them. Giving that taught in the new testament goes: 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. according to purposes of the heart not 10 percent 20 percent but purposes of the heart. When the law given to israel it is sepcific to them and not for a Christian, when God give the ten commandments it is specific to them: 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. The lord made the covenant"with them not including thier father but "who are all of us here alive" we are not included them, not even thier fathers. tithe is included in the law of moses, and it cannot justify us: Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Why we have to required people to do things that cannot justify us? Or you will say that tithe is not included in the law of moses? God bless, Johnny |
