NASB | 1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. |

But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]. |
Bible Question: I know that tithes can be paid by ones works for the Lord but most churches like for members to give monetary gifts and will use Genesis 14:20, Genesis 28:22, and Malachi 3:8-10 to justify that. Is this a true and correct justification or should they give both options of tithing? What would the Lord prefer? |
Bible Answer: Why don't you ask the Lord? We need to learn to be lead of the Lord and what better way to learn this than with this question. Take it to the Lord and let Him lead you to the answer. EdB |
