Tithe!

[Dan_473]

...Jesus said you ought to pay tithes.

gotta disagree, there... Jesus said the scribes and pharisees have to pay tithes.

can we then rip the book of Romans out? after all it wasn't written to you or me.

parts of Romans we do not think of as addressed to us...
"Greet Prisca and Aquila..."

your absolutely right he did tell peter to pay taxes...

not just taxes, the temple tax... do we pay that?

I don't think we should "pay" tithes but rather "give" them after all they don't belong to you, that's Gods part.

well, to me, that's the issue... I think God has the "whole", not part...

Proverbs 3:9 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP] Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase

as christians, I think, we honor God with everything... "whatever we do, in word or deed"

 

[Mcsmitty]

Here's OT scripture on Tythe
Genesis 28:22 This stone, which I have set up as a pillar, will be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."
Deut. 15:10 you shall generously give to Him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to Him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings.

It is OT speak and carried into today, the Lord loves a generous heart.

[Dan_473]

Im sorry I didn't read all the post's. I was only making a point that tithing isn't just a mosaic law. the idea of tithing was here before moses. i believe we should tithe off everything that is an "increase" to us. Proverbs 3:9 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP] Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

I don't read all the posts of long threads, either... though I have been reading all here...

yes, the idea of tithing was before moses... the commandment, I think, came with moses...

I think there're other things that were before moses that we don't do today...

we have been bought with a price, we are not your own.

heart, soul, body, spirit... bank accounts, houses, cars... all belongs to God

Here's more O.T. Scripture on tithing: Deut 12: 5-7; 11-14, Deut 14: 22-29, Numbers 18: 21-32, Neh 10: 37-38, Lev 27: 32-33.

Explain how these other Scriptures are followed today.

Hi guys! Am anew member, Ihave aquestion please just help! Iam born and believe in Tithing and It's apractice Ifollow, Iwas attending acertain meeting in another church where the preacher was talking about giving and he said, a) Jesus never talked about Tithe but Jesus taught about sacrificial giving! b) The apostles never taught about Tithing but they taught early belivers to give towards the extension of the gospel and also to the needy in Jerusalem! c) he said Tithe is alegalistic way of giving and the Apostles in Acts 15:22-30! Please help me know, could Ihave practised this in vain!

Amos 3:3 asks the question, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”.An interesting question indeed. A question today could be asked why so many who claim to be walking with God disagree with His Word? Are they truly walking with God?
God said in Leviticus 27:30-33 that His holy tithe is agricultural. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god who says the commanded tithe is money?
God said in Numbers 18:21,24,26,28 that He gave His tithe to the Levitic tribe of the children of Israel. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god who says you are to tithe to people who are not of the Levitic tribe?
God said in Deuteronomy 6:1-3 & Deuteronomy 12:10-11 that one was not to start tithing until one crossed Jordan and entered Canaan. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god that requires tithing on Gentile soil?
God said in Deuteronomy 14:22-27 that a second tithe was to be taken to a Jewish Feast and eaten by the tither before the LORD God. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god that says we must tithe to our Church and nowhere else?
God said in Deuteronomy 14:28-29 that a third tithe was to be given every three years to feed the widows, the orphans, the Levites and foreigners in Israel. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god that says the tithe must go to your Church?
God said in Nehemiah 10:37-38 that the firstfruits were to be taken to the Temple storehouse in Jerusalem, and the tithes were to be taken to the Levites. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god that says tithes are to go to pastors on Gentile soil?
God said in Psalm 147:19-20 that His statutes and judgments were given to Israel and Israel alone. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god that says the Mosaic Law is to be obeyed by all people of every nation?
God’s Word tells us in Acts 21:23-25 that Gentile Believers are not commanded to keep the Mosaic Law. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god that demands Gentile Believers obey the Mosaic Law?
In the last chapter that tithing is mentioned in God’s Holy Word, (Hebrews 7:5-8 ) we are told that the commanded tithe is the same agricultural tithe commanded in the Pentateuch more than 1500 years earlier. Are you in agreement with God? Are you walking with Him? or are you following a god that says the commanded tithe is money?
Are you in agreement and walking with God? or have you rejected His decree and chosen your own path?
There is not one Scripture in the entire Bible where God amended His tithe command to extend to the New Testament Church. Nor is there an amendment in His Word to make the tithe a monetary tithe instead of an agricultural one.
If God didn’t amend the tithe in His Word, how can we, who are supposed to boldly proclaim and walk in the Truth as it is written in His Holy Word, say He requires tithes of money? There is absolutely no justification for such an action.
Proverbs 30:6 tells us we are not to add to God’s Word. For that reason, we cannot change the tithe that He said was to be agricultural into a monetary tithe. we cannot, in good conscience, bring a tithe that was meant for Israel alone to observe to another geographical location.
You see, you cannot just focus on the fact that God commanded a tenth, and then totally ignore what that tenth was to consist of, where it was to be taken to, to whom it was to be given, and when it was to be given. You are picking and choosing that a tithe is required, yet dismissing all other aspects concerning God’s holy tithe.

 

[StandingFirmInChrist]

The word tithing is just the english word for giving to God, the apostles did tithe so did the early church they were all in one heart one mind and gave all they had for each other and the cause of Christ no one was ever lacking in need because of the generous giving.

When you tithe don't tithe for the church tithe for God, God is far more interested in the heart behind tithing than tithing itself.
If you give do it with a cheerful heart and do it as if you are giving it directly to God the amount isn't important what is important is why you are giving and to whom

The Apostles tithed? Really? Could you point me to sny New Testament Verse where the Apostles tithed?

Because, in my Bible, none of the Apostles were farmers or herders, from which the tithe was to be taken.

 

[John146]

God has given the order of giving to the body of Christ in 2 Cor. 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." Tithing was out of necessity under the law.

 

[Grace777x70]

Amen!..Jesus is our tithe!..He fulfilled all things...we follow Him in our hearts to do with giving in the New Covenant..

Christians that pay tithes on their gross today are breaking God's clear commands on how to tithe. My good friend 'standing firm' has provided the scriptures on this, abundantly. Way to many on this site have no stomach for God's word on different issues. That's because they have been so spell bound by the church's falsehoods. Even the children of Israel could not get out of Egypt totally without some earth shaking miracles.

 

[John146]

If 10% was acceptable under the blood of bulls and goats, then what's acceptable under the blood of Jesus Christ? Your life, all that you have, give it over to the Lord.

 

[Grace777x70]

We don't have a life now that we died with Him...His life in us is how we life now....He says..give this..we give....we have His nature and trust our Father will take care of all our needs...He is faithful to us

If 10% was acceptable under the blood of bulls and goats, then what's acceptable under the blood of Jesus Christ? Your life, all that you have, give it over to the Lord.

So we r 2 wait for God to give us everything then pay a tithe on it? I like Jacob!

 

[StandingFirmInChrist]

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. Matthew 15:9

 

[Yet]

That's whst I'm talking about. It's verses like Matt. 15:9 nobody gets.

 

[Yet]

Ok! For arguments sake. Who do we pay tithes to? No Levites in my city.

 

[StandingFirmInChrist]

Unless your city is located in the land of Canaan, you cannot observe the Biblical tithe.

Deuteronomy 6:1-3 & 12:1,10-11 reveal that God's holy tithe is not to be observed until the crossing of the Jordan and the entereing into the land of Canaan. It clearly states that there (Canaan) is where God said His holy tithes are to be observed.

I wonder how many of our opponents were aware of that? Have they crossed the river Jordan? Are they in Canaan?LoL

 

[Grace777x70]

That depends..how much you got to tithe?..i could become a "Levite"...at least I could wrangle it somehow or other...like I am a priest unto God now...see...where's my loot?..cough it up or I will do the Malachi 3 Manipulation Method on ya'.....lol

Ok! For arguments sake. Who do we pay tithes to? No Levites in my city. .​

 

[Euphemia]

Ok! For arguments sake. Who do we pay tithes to? No Levites in my city.

We pay our tithes to...get it now....GOD!

 

[StandingFirmInChrist]

God said His holy tithe was to be agricultural, not monetary.

in light of The punishment He alloted to Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu for offering a substitute for what He decreed, do you really think God would accept something as tithe other than what He said His tithe was to consist of?

Do you really believe He is happy with us giving tithes to one person when He said they are to go to someone else?
