The Biblical Truth About Tithing by ScotMisile: 4:54pm On Nov 16, 2017
Finally lemme lay this whole controversy to rest.

Genesis 14:20 KJV
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all...

This is probably the first place tithe was mentioned in the Bible... Abraham never heard any voice from heaven commanding him to pay tithe...but he did pay his tithe to a priest Melchizedek.
Moving forward...Leviticus 27 is another place tithe was mentioned. This chapter provides a blueprint of or charter about the giving and receiving of tithe for the children of Israel...this is the first time God himself gave commandment about Tithe in the bible...So much mathematics there..
Numbers 18
This is where God gave the ordinance and proceedings of tithe and commanded that it is heritage of the levites (the priests)read and compare with Genesis 14 vs 20. Abraham gave without hearing a command from God and later in Numbers 18 God made it a command to be given to Levites. I hope you are learning?
Now here is your quotation.
Hello dingbats, this message is for you! I will continue to preach it and abuse you until sense finally falls on you!
-
Your tithe is for you to eat with your family, orphans, widows and the poor! Read your bible don't be a cretinous dingleberry! ~FRZ
-
Deuteronomy 14:[22] “You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year. [23] Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the LORD your God.
[24] “Now when the LORD your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. [25] If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the LORD your God has chosen. [26] When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household. [27] And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.

Daddy freeze be it known unto you this day that this law was given in transit because the children of Israel were faraway from the temple which was yet to be developed in the promise land..it is a transit law because that land in which they were is not permanent land. [b][/b]
Deuteronomy 12:9 KJV
For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you.
Deuteronomy 27:2 KJV
And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:

2 Chronicles 31:10 KJV
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord , we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store......you can see here that twas the priests who received the tithe....eating among the poor was like a temporal command since God's children were still in transit... because the temple was far away....
Nehemiah 10:37-39 KJV
And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage. [38] And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. [39] For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.[color=#000099]

All those are commandments to pay tithe. In the New Testament in Hebrews 7:5-18 “ 5 True, according to the Law, those of the sons of Leʹvi who receive their priestly office have a commandment to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though these are descendants of Abraham. 6 But this man who did not trace his genealogy from them took tithes from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. 7 Now it is undeniable that the lesser one is blessed by the greater. 8 And in the one case, it is men who are dying who receive tithes, but in the other case, it is someone of whom witness is given that he lives. 9 And it could be said that even Leʹvi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham, 10 for he was still a future descendant of his forefather when Mel·chizʹe·dek met him. 11 If, then, perfection was attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for it was a feature of the Law that was given to the people), what further need would there be for another priest to arise who is said to be in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek and not in the manner of Aaron? 12 For since the priesthood is being changed, it becomes necessary to change the Law as well. 13 For the man about whom these things are said came from another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar. 14 For it is clear that our Lord has descended from Judah, yet Moses said nothing about priests coming from that tribe. 15 And this becomes even clearer when another priest arises who is like Mel·chizʹe·dek, 16 who has become such, not by the legal requirement that depends on fleshly descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is said in witness of him: “You are a priest forever in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek.” 18 So, then, the former commandment is set aside because it is weak and ineffective
. The law on tithe became obsolete. Pls make more research ok.

Pls don’t be sentimental n emotional about this go read the Bible ok. Deuteronomy, Malachi and the rest talked about tithes how it should be done for the nation of Israelites and the levites. But Hebrews 7:5-19 inthe new testaments tendered those laws incompetent n acknowledges a better hope we have in Hesus Christ which draws us closer to God. Thanks.

Matthew 5:17. I think, it affirms the very reference to Malachi.

He didn’t come to destroy the laws but to fulfil he’s purpose by dying for us n setting things straight. There were laws guiding the Israelites to make atonement for their sins. Why is that law not still existing?

The Bible in Hebrews 7:18 says the law on tithe is being set aside because it made nothin perfect. Is that not okay for u to believe the law have been made obsolete. Jesus didn’t tithe, he’s disciples didn’t tithe early Christians didn’t tithe neither did dey talk about it. because it’s clear in Hebrews. Now Christians are admonished to give from what dey have decided in their minds. Not under compulsion or grudgingly but freely for God Loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7. God is wiser than all of us. He know this will be an issue today that’s why he inspired Apostle Paul or who ever wrote hebrews to pen it down.

Did Jesus collect Tithe & Offering.?

Did Peter Paul and the early Christians place emphasis on Tithe let alone collecting Tithe.?


A wise minister, will ask God to establish him financially so that he doesn't depend on people for survival.


Same goes to a Church.

Did Jesus collect Tithe & Offering during His ministry on Earth.?



My brother, today's men of God aren't truly called by God or have lost their relationship with God.


Christ remains the standard and never did he placed emphasis on Tithe.

Lol. So the law on sacrificing of animals didn’t it become obsolete when Jesus Christ died for us? Or u still dey sacrifice animals for forgiveness of ur sins? Granted it has been written n it’s there for us to see it n learn. But when I say a law became obsolete I mean the law have been set aside n not to be practiced or kept. Pls don’t be myopic.
