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: No one required Abraham to give the tithe, he give it in purposes of his heart. It is different when the law requires the israel to give thier tithe to the levites. If you give it in the purposes of the heart what wrong with that. But if you required anyone to give ten percent this is not teaching of Christ. If you want to give all of your salaries it is acceptable to God but no required amount not ten percent but what is purposes of your heart. Where did abraham get the part of his tithe anyway? Ge 14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. 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 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Ge 14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 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. Abraham slaughter kings and got thier goods and give the tithe of all. Do yuou think Christ will love you if slaughter Kings and take thier goods and give the tithes of all? Do you think Christ will allow you to killed someone and get thier goods and give tithe to Christ? I dont think so. My challenge is the same show me that giving the ten percent is teaching of Christ and His apostle. God bless, Johnny |
