Subject: Do you pay tithes on whole check or part |
Bible Note: You write" While your right the requirement of a paying a tithe was an Old Testament law. Paying a tithe to show honor and worship is still in place. Abraham taught on this long before the law." This was always a response to me but if tried to asked a question regarding where abraham get his tithe they not response anymore, and I hope you can, I want you to support your reason. Where did abraham got his tithes anyway? 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 ¶ 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 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. You write that abraham taught this before the law, are you suggesting that it is ok to Jesus Christ if I am going to kill my enemies and took thier goods and give tithes to Him. Do you think this action will be very acceptable to Jesus Christ? I know I asked this question to you before but you did not bother to answer. You write "I know you don't beleive in tithing but nonetheless tithing is still a valid way to honor and worship. If you beleive you can honor and worship God giving more or less then fine but 10 percent is a good starting place." is this biblical where you can read in the whole new testament that giving tithes is a good place to start? Authority of receiveing tithes was given to the 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: Who gave the authority to you or to your pastors to be a descendants of levi? No! it is not given to anyone of us. Paul gave us through his writing how to give, and to be a cheerful giver. God bless, Johnny |
