Bible Note: I have studied the book of Hebrew PUP. I have studied many books using these in depth studies. My view so far is that tithing is something that was given to Israel under the old covenant. Under the new covenant we are under grace. No where under the new covenant is there a demand for a certain percentage to be given. Rather it does say take care of orphans, widows, help the poor, take care of your family. The physical church today does not co these things rather the majority goes to pay salaries. Therefore to demand a percentage is not right. Paul never demanded money. He asked if people wanted to participate and made a case thar they should give. However my point is he did not tell them how much to give. A thorough study of the book of Hebrews shows that we are under a new covenant. As for Abraham if you can show me that this is a mandate for the new covenant I will be willing to look at it. Grace is grace. Law is law. We are under grace. Does that give us a right to sin; as Paul said May it never be. Are you going so far as to say it is a sin not to give a certain percentage or to give only to the local church? What are giving as the Lord leads, to different causes and different amounts as the individual has purposed in his heart. Good day. |
