Subject: PROVE ME: God's challenge to tithers |
Bible Note: Tim Not to nitpick myself we can say about 90 percent of the Bible is addressed to the Jews and in most laws that we hold near and dear were never directed directly at Christians. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife. You can say Jesus covered this in by saying do unto others as you would have them do unto you but then what about wife swapping? We know that is wrong but why? Because it was a moral code that God gave to His people it stood then and it stands today. I think we need to take the Bible as universally talking to God's people whether they be Children of Israel or gentiles adopted and grafted in. Then there are those that say we are no longer under the law. Your right we don’t have to strive to keep the law in attempt to secure our salvation but we should strive to keep it to be pleasing to God our Father. It not longer becomes a question of whether we have to or not it now becomes something we just do. Besides tithing was and still is a way to show honor long before the law came into being. EdB |
