Subject: tithing |
Bible Note: Charis, Greetings from the Philippines, If you read the thread, and even before I am not really against giving, but if someone require me of some amount such as ten twenty percent is not really for the christian. Everyone is free to give to the church, whether it is ten twenty or even the whole of your salary it is acceptable to God, but in any purposes of the heart, and not as a requirements. Even in the time of patriach tithes is not a requirements, abraham give tithes but no one require him to gave but he gave. Tithe really becomes a requirements under the law of moses, everyone knows that. It was an important part of thier religion in order to support levites. But in the time of Christ, it is not a requirements, the teaching goes in a way of love offering (the example of widow). To prove that Christ did not require anyone to tithes is there is no single occassion in the new testament that both Christ and apostle never received and give tithes, it is the fact. I was wondering, and continue wondering that there are people again teach the tithes as a requirements, they cannot accept the teaching of love offering but tithes as a requirements. My wonder really is if Christ not required us to tithe, and the desciples never observed the tithes, why we should require our members to tithe? are more authorize than them? Charis, I hope you read the magazine Heaven can't wait. God bless, and Banzai! Johnny |
