Is It Right What I Do With 10% Of My Earnings? by Joey82(m): 10:09am On Jan 28, 2013 |
I know this issue has been over flogged here but i still need some clarity. Almost every month, i have people with very pressing, genuine problems begging my attention. And at the end of each month i try to scrutinize and choose among these people which to help and donate my 10% to them its not that i dont offer assistance to peeps aside this donation and i make sure the 10% does not go to any member of my family. In any month that there isnt any genuine request for help, i take my 10% to the church. I just want us share ideas so I can learn if what i'm doing is right or must we take our tithes to church? |

enilove: Your thithe is meant to be taking to church.The church will not exist if there are no funds to manage it. ^ I'm sorry, you statement is false in the light of the New Testament. Tithe had ENDED in the New Testament - there're plain scriptures that ended tithe in the New Testament. What the church is to be supported with is the free will giving of God's people. The church can exist without tithe in the New Testament. I know MANY churches here in the USA that don't take tithe from over 10,000 of the members. |

Goshen360:Jesus came to fulfill the law and abolish it (Ephesians 2:15). Tithes were not part of what was abolished because it came before the law of Moses came, in the days of Abraham. |

Yes, the issue has been overflogged. Not sure why people suddenly remember the needy when they're staring at their tithe. You dont remember the needy at other times, its only when you see your tithe that you suddenly notice them around you. |

eddy18: 1. You're right sister, that tithe came before the law. What kind of tithe was that? Was it commanded to Abraham? The tithe practiced in churches today is not Abraham's kind of tithe. Churches only hide under the canopy of Abraham's tithe to teach tithe saying it was before the law BUT the tithe taught in church today is ACCORDING TO THE LAW - They have to quote Malachi to threaten God's people. That's tithe ACCORDING TO THE LAW. 2. Hebrews 7 discusses tithe (PRE-LAW, as in the case of Abraham) and tithe (ACCORDING to the law which was commanded). It puts an END to BOTH tithes, pre-law and according to the law. The simple truth is, tithe doesn't make anyone rich or richer. The case of "before the law" basis of tithe is destroyed with evidence that Abraham was rich before the account of tithe and we're not told he became rich by tithing. |

Goshen360:pls how many times did Abraham pay tax? What about Isaac and Jacob, appart from when he made a vow when he was fleeing from Esau, this question is 4 ppl who claim that tithe predate the law.. |
