Bible Note: You said "One thing Abraham tithed long before the law Gen 14:20. Abraham did it to show honor. Can you think of any better way to put our faith to work than by honoring God with our money? Not because we have too but because we can. When you willingly give something that is so essential to our daily existance your showing your dependance in not on the gift but on the receiver of the honor." It is abraham give the tenth of all no one required him but he give, it is different for what happening today, the pastors required thier memners to give the tithe instead of love offering. Where did abraham his tithe anyway? Ge 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. Ge 14:17 ΒΆ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. Ge 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. He slaughter Kings and took thier goods and give tithes of all. Do you think Christ will allow that kind of action? Do you think Christ will happy if I am going to kill somebody and took thier goods and give tithes of all? Please answer. To convice me that tithe ten percent is requirements for Christians today please show me any single teaching of Christ that He required anyone to give tithes to Him. He is God He is the most authority to receive tithes. Authority of receiving tithes are given to levi: eb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Are sons of levi that given the authority to receive tithes? (if you are jew I am sorry you have the authority under the law) God bless, Johnny |
