Subject: Can you please explain tithing? |
Bible Note: There is no question of tithe being commanded, the question is that if there is commandments of Christ in the NT that requires anyone to give tithes. Can you show verses that Christ requires His desciples to tithe? Did the desciples requires thier members to tithe? Who are the people that has the commandments to received tithes? 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: It is levi my friend, not the pastors today because I am sure they are not sons of levi. Another thing, Tithes are part of the law, according to paul it 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 cannot justify you and me? unless you can prove that tithes (ten percent) is not part of the law? What kind of commandments was given to Christians about giving to God? 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. According to purpose of the heart, if someone requires you to give 10 percent of your income, it is not purposes of the heart but as a requirements. Did Tithes and covenants belong to Christians? NO! De 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. De 5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. That covenant is given to them specifically not to thiers fathers, but even them who are alive that day? Are we there that day? are we important than thier fathers? if that commandments is not given to thier fathers which is isralites, how come it will include you and me? Are there specific covenants for the Christians? Yes! Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. |
