NASB | Matthew 23:23 ¶ "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 23:23 ¶ "Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you give a tenth (tithe) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have neglected the weightier [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the [primary] things you ought to have done without neglecting the others. |
Subject: Is tithing just O.T. or N.T. as well? |
Bible Note: Can you please show me that giving of ten percent of our income is teaching of Christ. Can you please show me any teaching in the new testament that will require us to give ten percent of our income. Can you please show me that Christ required His apotles to give ten percent to Him. Can you please show me any of the disciples require thier church members to give ten percent to them. You said "Many debates over the tithe being for the New Testament Christian. One thing if very clear... the tithe is the Lord's. The tithe is Holy. What would keep one from not tithing other that fear of doing without, greed, unbelief? Faith is what pleases God. You are right tithe is including in the law of moses they are the same holy but after Christ crusified the law of moses cannot justify us. Including in that very law is the tithe. 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. Tithe is inlcuding in the law, it cannot justify us. Or you can prove to me that tithe is not including in the law. You quoted this verse: Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. If you observe the tithe and not other matters of the law, you are not consistent as Christ said Hypocrite. If you observe the tithe you must observe other part of the law as Christ said in this verse. My question to you, do you observe other law of moses such not eating the pork, stone to death your brother or sisters if you saw them gathering stick in the day of sabbath? What is it in the tithe that you cannot reject? We reject other law of moses but tithe is not? when Paul stated that law of moses cannot justify us did he exclude the tithes? The teaching about giving 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. No required amount, not ten percent but what is porpuses of the heart. I will challenge you in these two verses Lu 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 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. Did tithe excluded when they stated this verses? Please show me the passages in the scriptures. |
