So your take is that we should ignore all laws under the old covenant, pastor.

SMH twice

You call yourself a christian yet you don't know what is expected of you as a christian, what a shame. The damage tese so called MOG are doing to the body of christ is appalling. I had ealier asked you to read Hebrews 7:5-19 were it was repeated that the laws with special emphasis on tithing had been brought to an end becos it was weak, useless and unprofitable i amd yet to see your response on that passage yet you are here ranting hubris again.

teeo:
LMAO, haba be more realisitic. Because we are discussing tithe you are implying that your knowledge of history is low.

You don't gerrit. you defined tithe as "tenth of what you have" then went ahead to support your definition by showing us that tithe is NOT a "tenth of what you have" i was only pointing out the contradictions. It has nothing to do with my knowledge of history. The Deuteronomy verse you quoted showed tithe as tenth of harvest, that is not to say the chap does not own other assets like land, house e.t.c (even wife and children self). Tithe was required from harvest or flock, this is not a "tenth of what you have".

teeo:
What else did the Isrealities undertake as an occupation. They were primarily farmers who had vine yards, grain fields, orchards and livestock. At the time this law was given by God, that was the major occupation of the Jews.

Maybe it was the major occupation of the Jews but it was not the 'ONLY' occupation of the Jews. If God left out other occupation at the time, why is the pastor recognizing other occupation today?

teeo:
They had to pay tithe from those things stated above cos that was the only way they got annual income from.

I disagree. There are evidence that income came from other sources like;

sale of land or property

Leviticus 25:14-16 KJV)
14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another: 15 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: 16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

or hunting or fishing (consumption of other animals not farmed). They were not required to tithe fish or 'bushmeat'.

summary: the Jews had other business (and income yielding) dealings, but only required to tithe harvest of the land.

teeo:
Tithing was instituted under the Old Covenant as a
way for God to communicate His blessing to His
people.

You are saying that God's ability to communicate blessings to his people will be hindered by the absence of tithe? So without tithe God's hands are tied, he can't dish out blessings, even if he wanted to?

teeo:
The word tithe means "tenth or ten
percent."

Ten percent of what? your definition is not complete. You should note the following:

1. tithe according to God's definition is not always 10%. It range from zero to 10% (12% if you are redeeming)
2. tithe can be a tenth (or 10%) but a tenth is not a tithe. so you need to define your tithe by telling us what constitute the 10%

teeo:
Tithes are to be given from the first fruits,
from the top— the gross, not the net.

false gospel. God did not command the Jews to give a gross of anything. in fact the Jews were not allowed to harvest their crops 100%. They are to leave some for the poor to harvest. Tithe is paid on what is harvested.

Leviticus 19:9-10 KJV)
9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.

Maybe you should consider deducting a portion of your salary (like 20%) give it to the poor, before arriving at the amount to base your tithe computation.

teeo:
The Word says to tithe. Tithing is not only an Old Covenant command, but
also a New Testament blessing and privilege. Hebrews 7:8 says, "Here men that die receive tithes. But there he receiveth them, of whom it is
witnessed that he liveth."

Again you are quoting what you don't understand.

Tithe according to the scripture is 1/10, if you won't pay it now to God, you'll still pay, only this time, to the devil. he takes 9/10. Be wise!

samsy5460: Tithe according to the scripture is 1/10, if you won't pay it now to God, you'll still pay, only this time, to the devil. he takes 9/10. Be wise!

1/10 of what Kindly quite scriptures to support all the hubris you've just written. The extent some pastors go to add to scripture to justify their ill informed opinions is so annoying

To become a better you, you have to stop listening to the wrong
voices.
If you bury a lie, it will rot. If you bury the truth, it will rise.
That’s why the grave couldn’t hold
JESUS. He is “the way the truth and the life…” Be wise! God bless you.
