Subject: Releases from tithing 10 per cent? |
Bible Note: Charis, That is why it was mentioned in the scriptures that God loves cheerful giver. If are willing or happy with your setup of giving it is okay. If we really read the scriptures it is not the giver was made the mistake but those who requires to the members to give. 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 can give more than 10 percent of your income it is okay but again it is not a requirements. Apostle Paul gave to the church all he got in life, he got no wife because he dedicate all of his time to serve God, he gave even his life to serve people in the glory of Jesus Christ. If we put this discussion into a pure biblical, I know you would agree, Apostle Paul gave his everything to serve people to the Glory of God but he never required anyone to give thier tithe but a guidance that God love cheerful giver. If somebody can show me that Jesus Christ taught any single word or is He required his disciple to give thier tithe, then I would agree that tithe is a requirements. Please dont get rid of me, Again thanks for a nice discussion. Johnny |
