Bible Note: Hi Lionstrong! Dear Brother, it's great to hear from you. I agree: there is more to tithing than just the textbook definition and how it is traditionally interpreted (which is pretty much what I gave to Glossy44). I liked the verses that you cited especially Philippians 4:19 and Psalm 37:25, which are speaking to my own situation now since I am looking for a job. If only we could be more like the church in Acts 2:44-45; I suppose that it is possible that we would not even need a standard 'rate' of tithing, if we simply gave to everyone who was in need. However, Paul also says in 1 Corinthians 9:4,11,14 that those who preach are entitled to having their needs met as well, such as obtaining food and making a living. It would be sufficient for the church to have a way to pay for those who minister to it. Blessings to you, Makarios |
