Subject: Is tithing just O.T. or N.T. as well? |
Bible Note: It is not my mind set on not giving the tithe, I am asking if giving of ten percent is teaching of Christ if Yes show me the scriptures, if no why you have to required anyone to give tithes and teach them that it is a requirements. If you believed that tithe is ordained by God until now show me the scriptures that Jesus taught it in the new testament. How could you encourage everyone if you cannot depend what you believed in. If you still believed that it can justify you, and what is the purposes of these verse anyway?: 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. As I told you, if you can prove me that paul excluded tithe when he stated this verse. Now if the tithe is included in this verse, how can you prove me that tithe is a requirement until now. For your information receiving the tithe is not you authority or any pastors of our time it was given to levites: Heb 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: Are you Jew? it is not surprising that many people try to pretend that son of levi by requiring thier people to give tithes which is the authority of receiving them was given to the levites. It is not given to you, nor to the pastors today, it is very clear that the authority was given to the levites. Heb 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. Heb 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. Heb 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. Heb 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. Heb 7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. Heb 7:11 ΒΆ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. "a change also of the law" but you dont want to change the tithe which is included in the law is clear disobedience to the teaching of the apotle! Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Now if you can prove to me that tithe is the teaching of Christ, show me my friend prove to me and to the members of this forum. God bless, Johnny |
