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: not paying tithes,will it stop a believer from seeing God at the end of life. secondly is paying tithes written in the NT? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Gen 14:20, 28:22; Exo 23:16-19, Lev 27:20; Num 18:12-26; Deu 12:6-19, 14:22-29, 26:12-15; 2 Cor 9:7; Heb 7:6 ... First, use the Search to find the many threads on the subject - enter tithe. This is a combo of several of my previous posts. The tithe is gross, based on Firstfruits (Exo 23:16-19). There were three tithes While a "tithe" means 10 percent, there were three tithes given: 1) the general tithe paid to the Levites (Lev 27:20, Num 18:21), who even tithed to the preists (vs 26). 2) the sacred meal tithe (Deu 12:6-7,17-19, 14:22-27) ... it brought yearly to the tabernacle and eaten before the Lord. 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29, 26:12-15) So that was 19 percent per year and 27 percent every three years, average 22 percent. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:20; Heb. 7:6); and Jacob vowed unto the Lord to give a tenth (Gen. 28:22). These were given before the Law. In the NT, do not count all your seeds to make sure you give a tenth of all and neglect something greater - justice, mercy, and faith (Mat. 23:23). Does this passage say we should not tithe, or does it make a comparison? Some don't think we should have to pay even one tithe/tenth ... "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Cor 9:7). Hopefully we give more than 10 percent. Searcher |
