Subject: tithing |
Bible Note: You write"Again you always go back to the Law. Forget it! You write"Tithing was before and after the Law. You do not have to be a Levite to receive a tithe that was under the Law." Are you suggesting that this verse is a lie? 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: It is not mentioned here that other can take tithes if not under the law. Nowhere in this verse that mentioned that they allow other to take tithes if not under the law. I have to follow the word of God instead of conclusions of other. You write"You always say Paul did not get paid but he clearly said a Pastor should be paid, He told how he took money from other churches to support himself. Why can't you see that?" You always take the discussion to somewhere else, I was talking of paul did not require anyone to tithes. If you remember the discussion now is tithing not about he took money from other churches, it nothing about the tithes. He did not mention that he took the tithes of other churches. You always take the discussion in somewhere else. We talk about tithes here. You write"Call it what you will love offering, tithe, giving money to the church. The fact remains ministry requires money and the people that receive from the ministry have a moral responsibility to support that ministry." Love offering indeed is different from the tihes,love offering was taught by Christ but not the tithes. We have responsibility to our church the same as we have responsibility for our unforunate members. We support our ministry by love offering that was taught by Christ. We know that ministry and missions requires money but this is not a reason that we have to teach the teaching that Christ never taught. God bless, Johnny |
