AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 9:7 Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]. [Prov 22:9] |
Bible Question: I heard a Pastor say last week that he believed a little Godly pressure was good to make people pay there tithes, are we not under grace which means we are not under the law to give but to give from the heart? |
Bible Answer: If the tithe he is talkig about is 10 percent of the income, it is not applicapble today. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. If you give a certain amount to any members, it is means that you required them under the law. Giving under the Christ teaching is love offering, the amount that purpose of your heart. Tithe is under the law of moses, law as apostle paul said will not justify us. 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. Why keep doing the things that will not justify us? Aside from that, we are commanded not to fufill only part of the law, but all of the law. If someone taught us to observe part of the law, you must observe all of it, otherwise Christ will call us hypocrytes. Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. If you observe the law of the tithes, you must observe other matters on it such as stone to death your brother and sisters if you found them going out in sabbath day, stone to death those committed aldultery, you must not eat the food that prohibited by the law etc. etc. Christ fulfill the law different ways, we must always be reminded about that. Giving is good, if you can give half, full, or everything you have, it is acceptable to God. But NO amount required. God bless, |
