Joagbaje: . . . . And we give offerings also and not because God commanded the jews to give offerings , its still because its a kingdom principle. I wonder why critics have no problem with offerings and attacks tithes only. Malachi 3 talks about the two. They are together.
We have asked you to produce evidence what the early church gave was called Offering IN THE WORSHIP GATHERINGS. Just one single scripture will be okay.

Gombs: Your attention is needed here

www.nairaland.com/1456343/tithes-offerings-eternal-principles/23

Candour, Zikky, goshen, Christembassy, and theoctopus, don fall their hands tire. They have been put to flight. I begged them to come call you so that you can come and fall your hand.

Guys pls visit the thread and see how the Above anti tithers are confused.


Kunle before that, answer these...your crew couldn't

1. did God physically collected the tithe Jacob paid

2. Did the Mechizedek order of priesthood receive tithe and blessed the tither?

3. Did levitical priesthood bless the tithers? If yes show me scriptures where they blessed tithers

4. If no, did the writer in Mal 3v8 talked about a blessing?

5 which order of priesthood receives tithe and blesses the tither?

6. What order of priesthood is Jesus?

7. Is the order still in place today?

8. If yes, why ask me why we still pay tithes today?


Heb 7v8 AMP
8 Furthermore, here [in the Levitical priesthood] tithes are received by men who are subject to death; while there [in the case of Melchizedek], they are received by one of whom it is testified that he lives [perpetually].

9. The bible used THEY ARE RECEIVED...meanwhile it was only abraham that tithed to Melchizedek physically...why then did the bible use THEY ARE instead of IT WAS?



Thank you


Umm lemme add, your anti tithe campaign is not doing well o! Judging from this thread, maybe its just you and your crew that aint tithing grin

Work harder...if you like open 10 thread per minute...e no matter grin
As per #9, do you need debosky to teach you English? grin Seems you becoming a spam to tithe thread now

Gombs: He is A MAN by sexx (gender)
But he is/was not a mortal ie he was/is immortal...but he had flesh.

If you now say how can an immortal have flesh...then I want you to answer whether those angels that came down from Heaven and slept with ladies on earth...did they have flesh? Yes or no
If he was not a mortal man, how did he became KING of Salem?

If he is A man, you agreed. How did he come into the earth or world?

Your reference to Angels is out of point, I'm focusing on Melchi with you for now. Melchi was a man you agreed, angels are spirit beings. Are both same being?

Gombs: Go read what Abraham did with the remaining 90percent. If I decide to give it away, its a personal choice.....if I decide to keep it it isnin no way an offence.

But I thought u said he was long dead..I mean Melchizedek...if you dont acept is is alive, then we have no further thing to discuss...why? Because the Order of Melchizedek has no succession, if u said he died or is dead, then that means it has a successor.

So, accept u are wrong about that and the fact that he was horn of a woman...if not, then we have no bais to discuss further
So you now have a choice as to the rest of 90% right? I thought we are Abraham's seed and we must follow our father Abraham in tithe example. My father Abraham also gave the rest to rightful owner without CHOICE, why should my choice play role in returning 90% but only the tithe?

Yes, Melchi was dead long ago. If he is not dead, where is he? Do you mind telling us where he is now? Even Christ died and resurrected. Do you study Hebrew syntax? In Hebrew syntax, it reads: "whose father and mother are not written in the genealogies or there is no genealogical account of them"

Gombs: Was Abraham a Levite? Or did he pay his tithe to the Levitical order? undecided



Malachi was talking about the Order of Melchizedek because only that order could bless the tither.

Do u still think Melchizedek is long dead? grin
Good!!! At least like my brother Candour says, this shows your dishonesty. The question was, #1. Is Abraham's tithe from 'spoils of war', items from war acceptable under the levitical priesthood? Your answer was: Was Abraham a Levite? Or did he pay his tithe to the Levitical order? undecided

2. You just said "Malachi was talking about the Order of Melchizedek because only that order could bless the tither."

First I take it as assumption and 2 as emphatic answer. That's what I was saying - The Abraham tithe was, he was blessed BEFORE the tithe, it wasn't the tithe that provoked Abraham's blesssings. In Malachi, it was tithe that provoked blessings - bring tithe AND THEN YOU RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS. You don't see any difference still?

Christianity EtcRe: Tithes And Offerings Are Eternal Principles by Goshen360(m): 11:50am On Oct 05, 2013
@ Gombs,

I will still backup and continue from page 15 where I left off but kindly answer these question. Since you agreed the Levitical is cancelled,

#1. Is Abraham's tithe from 'spoils of war', items from war acceptable under the levitical priesthood?

#2. Is it Abraham's tithe that Malachi and Christ was referencing?
Christianity EtcRe: Tithes And Offerings Are Eternal Principles by Goshen360(m):
Gombs: Let me school you a bit

It begins with a quick summary of the story in Genesis
14:
"This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything" ( Heb. 7:1-2 ).
First, I might not be able to cover all the responses as promised because of the pages already covered.

Now, there's an order of 'blessing' established here, not by you and I but by the scriptures. The order is, Abraham was pronounced blessed first BEFORE tithe followed. This is a scriptural truth that God's blessing isn't depended nor pre-conditioned on Abraham's tithing as in contrast to the tithe according to the Law. This is clearly different from the Law tithing which many men of God teach today. If we, including you are going to be honest, we will agree that tithing taught in churches today clearly negate the Abraham's kind or example of tithing. So, I believe that when preachers or people say tithing pre-dated the Law but on the other hand turn to the Law to threaten with curse or as a condition for God's blessing; that's cajoling church folks, hiding under Abraham's example while the threat is a witchcraft.

Gombs: First, the unusual name is explained. The Hebrew word melek means king, and tsedek means righteousness, so his name is explained as meaning "king of righteousness."
And since shalom means peace, he was also the "king of peace" (v. 2).
These titles are significant because Melchizedek prefigures Jesus Christ. Then we are told that Melchizedek was "without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever" (v. 3).

However, Melchizedek had no parents that are mentioned in Scripture. His position as priest did not depend on his parents or his genealogy (unlike the Levitical priests). His priesthood was a different kind, a different order. Similarly, Scripture says nothing about his birth or death (unlike the patriarchs, who are carefully chronicled). He did not create a dynasty of priests, each dying and passing the priesthood to a son.


Now from the above we can see that the Levite's priesthood aint same as Melchizedek's. But the bible said he had no Parents..how then did you conclude he was a man? Bible also said he like the Son of God will be a priest forever! Hence making tithing a eternal principle.
Hebrews 7:4 says, "Now consider how great this man was . . ." . Melchizedek was a man that was divinely used to portray or foreshadow the priesthood of Christ. It is not the person of Christ that was foreshadowed in Melchizedek, it was his kingship and priesthood. He doesn't have parent, without beginning of days and end of life is a rabbinical phrase to mean his birth wasn't recorded nor found in record, his death and parent weren't recorded. If this same context of Hebrews 7:4 tells us "he is a man"; then we must accept the bible truth in 1 Corinthians 11:12:

New Living Translation
For although the first woman came from man, every other man was born from a woman, and everything comes from God.


If Melchi was a man, then he was born of a woman. Just that his records weren't found but we know Christ's mother in the flesh. We know his death record because both Christ and Melchi are men, in the flesh.

"Bible also said he like the Son of God will be a priest forever! Hence making tithing a eternal principle"

There's no verse that concluded the above that because he is like the Son of God, as a priest forever, THEREFORE tithing is an eternal principles. You're the one making such conclusion. The scripture uses this typology of Melchi and 'represented it in Christ's priesthood NOT the person of Melchi but his king\priesthood.

Hebrews 7:3
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Without [record of] father or mother or ancestral line, neither with beginning of days nor ending of life, but, resembling the Son of God, he continues to be a priest without interruption and without successor.


Please look at that, it didn't say "it continues to be a MELCHIZEDEK but it continues to be PRIEST. He (Melchi) himself had long died and never resurrected like Christ but his death record wasn't known just as his birth record wasn't known.

If this makes tithe an eternal principle, MELCHI HIMSELF in that priesthood and kingship WILL BE ALIVE NOW TO ETERNITY or FOR ETERNAL in order to CONTINUE TO COLLECT ETERNAL TITHE. That's what we it will mean.

Gombs: We might say today that he came out of nowhere, and then disappeared. Nevertheless, he remains known as a priest even today. "He remains a priest forever ... is declared to be living" v 3 & 8. (A similar thought may be in Luke 20:37-38 —the patriarchs are among "the living."wink This mysterious Melchizedek is the prototype of Jesus Christ.

Psalm 110 predicted that the Lord would be a priest in the same way: not according to genealogy, but by special appointment. This order of priests was significant in several ways:

1) it was more important than the Levitical priesthood,
2) it implied that the Levitical priesthood was temporary and
3) the new order was permanent. Greater than Levi
Oh yes, Melchi came from nowhere but we know where Christ came from, from heaven. There're many prototypes of Christ in scriptures. Each one was fulfilled according in a SEPARATE being of Christ, NOT in the SAME being of the prototypes - this a divine wisdom in which God teaches divine truth. We both agree on Psalm 110 - it still gets down that it was the PRIESTHOOD, not the PERSON(s) that was fulfilled in Christ. A prototype can not come back again and represent himself as it represented a shadows.

Gombs: Now let's see how a new priesthood implies a new law

Now I observe that "if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people), why was there still need for another priest to come—one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?" (v.11). I await your answer o!

Note in the middle of verse 11 that the law was given on the basis of the priesthood. The law was designed with the Levitical priesthood in mind—the law and the priesthood went together. But neither the law nor the priests could bring people to perfection. That is why Psalm 110 spoke of another priesthood. The descendants of Aaron would be replaced by a better priesthood, a better priest—and that has enormous consequences:
If you said the Law and priesthood goes together, will you agree that change in priesthood MUST also mean change in the law? That is the Law regulating the activities of the priesthood? Will you also agree that any disanullment in the priesthood will also mean disannullment of the Law and vice versa? We shall get to this as we progress.

Gombs: "For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law" (v. 12).

Q: What law was changed?
A: The law that said only
Levites could be priests.
The Bible never said the law that said ONLY Levites could be priests. The bible says there MUST be a change of THE LAW. That is, the LAW as a whole regulating the Levitical priesthood AND THOSE IT WAS GIVEN AND ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE LAW TO THEM....everything the law says must change. You're limiting it to ONLY Levitical priesthood. It was on the basis or functioning of these Levites that THE LAW was given:

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,)

Question? Was Levitical priesthood instituted in Exodus 20 when the 10 commandments was given? The Law was received by Moses so if there's a reference to the Levitical priesthood 'receiving the law', it is not limited to the law regulating them but will also include 'commandment to receive tithe' ACCORDING TO THE LAW, v5. I don't want to take too much time typing into Greek methodology here but the LAW as used was used in general sense.

Gombs: Q: Which law said that?
A: The old
covenant.
Do you agree we are not under the Old covenant in its entirety?

Gombs: Q: Do we follow the new Priest?
A: Yes
Yes, we must follow the new HIGH priest, not priest. We are the priest now.

Gombs: Q: of which order is he?
A: Melchizedek
Yes, he is in the order of Melchi.

Gombs: Q: of which order is he?
A: Melchizedek

Q: Did the order of Melchizedek receive tithe and blessed?
A: yes
NO!!! The order did not RECEIVE TITHE and THEN bless. He blessed BEFORE Abraham gave tithe. The order didn't rain curse on Abraham, Abraham gave voluntarily even though it was tenth, he could have given 9th or 11th.

Gombs: Q: Why then do people say malachi 3v8 was written to the those under the levitical priesthood even tho the speaker talked about blessing u [size=15pt]after u bring[/size] the tithes?
A:
At this point, though I'm getting tired now but I will try finish this reply. There's difference between Israel of Old and the church of New. You have to get that as bible truth. Both Israel and the gentiles are now the church. God was talking to the priest in Malachi and the context remained the priest. "Even this whole nation" in Malachi is still the nation of PRIESTS, the priest are NATION OF PEOPLE. Malachi tithe was what was instituted in the LAW OF MOSES...remember, . . . the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,). The Levitical priesthood was still in effect until the cross nullified the law and apparently nullified their priesthood.

Clearly Malachi tithe is different from Abraham tithe as seen in scriptures. Malachi tithe is of the 'works of the Law". That is, do this and God will in return do that. Look at it: Bring me tithe AND I WILL open the windows of heaven and rebuke the devourer for your sake. It is a pre-conditional covenant NOT according to the covenant of Christ of the New Covenant that we are blessed NOT because of what we DO but because of what CHRIST HAD DONE. Abraham didn't give tithe BECAUSE he wanted blessings or windows of heaven opened, he was already blessed and rich before he gave tithe. As long as pastors continues to threaten with Malachi curse and devourer e.g Pastor Adeboye of RCCG, it is not Abraham's example of tithe but Malachi's example and that is of the Law.

Gombs: Q: did levital priests bless the tithers?
A:
What are you arguing for? If it is Abraham's tithing, then focus on that and leave the Law tithing alone but believe the truth, Law tithing CANNOT be removed from tithing as preached from the pulpit - that's the only verse most pastors know.

Gombs: But first, let me make certain basic facts clear.

"He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar" (v. 13).

We are speaking about Jesus, of
whom it is said that he is a priest after the order of
Melchizedek—but Jesus was not a Levite. He belonged
to the tribe of Judah, and no one from that tribe was
ever a priest, and Moses did not authorize anyone from
Judah to be a priest (v. 14).

"And what we have said"—that is, that the law has been
changed—"is even more clear if another priest like
Melchizedek
appears, one who has become a priest not
on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the
basis of the power of an indestructible life" (vs. 15-16).

Jesus was appointed as priest not by a law that focused on genealogy, but because he lives forever at God's right hand. From this fact alone, we can see that the Law of Moses is no longer in force (levitical priesthood and their law of tithing).
Glory to God. You just confirmed what I said up there when replying the change of priesthood also must change the law. Up there, you said it was ONLY the priesthood that chnaged and the LAW that said ONLY the Levites can be priest. Here you said,LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD AND THEIR LAW OF TITHING. That confirmed what I said, it must involve the whole law regulating the activities of the priesthood of Levi.

To further prove this truth and hold onto it,

Hebrews 7:18
Amplified Bible (AMP)
18 So a previous physical regulation and command is cancelled because of its weakness and ineffectiveness and uselessness—


What is this command or commandment? The answer is in v 5 & 16 where commandment or command was issued. v5 is to receive tithe and v16 is Levi must come from the tribe of Levi. Those commandment and regulation are cancelled. Therefore receiving tithe by Levi is cancelled not to talk of those who are not Levi (by tribe and birth); the pastors who are receiving tithes. If any pastor preach tithe in the church, ask him, is he a Levi? Even Levi receiving tithe was cancelled.

Gombs: Why then Melchizedek? Why do we tithe in the faith of Abraham to Mechizedek?

Because his priesthood continues forever
Because Jesus is of same priesthood
Because Jesus and Melchizedek are priests with no genealogy
Because Melchizedek is not a levite whose priesthood were truncated
Because though Levi was from Abraham's loin folks still thought he paid to Mechizedek (Heb 7v9-10 AMP), hence reference was still made to Melchizedek, Why? Cos he has no roots, no genealogy, he was immortal


Don't come here and lie that he was a man!
Why then Melchizedek? Why do we tithe in the faith of Abraham to Mechizedek?

If a Christian tithe ONCE, can it be said such Christian had tithe IN THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM?

Because his priesthood continues forever
Because Jesus is of same priesthood


You're insulting Christ. The priest and the person functions together. The person must exist in order to function as a priest. Where is Melchizedek now? We know Christ in heaven, where is the person of Melchi that continues forever? Is he also in Heaven? Again, it is priesthood NOT the person that Christ followed after and the person must be alive to function in the priesthood office.


Because Jesus and Melchizedek are priests with no genealogy

Stop insulting the Lord. Do you ever noticed Melchi didn't or never asked Abraham for tithe? Why? He didn't show up to collect tithe but to bless. If Jesus is in that order, why are you interpreting it he came to collect tithe rather than to bless us by his finished works. If he came to collect tithe BEFORE he blesses us, he would have said so.

Don't you know the genealogy of Christ in Matthew and Luke's gospel? Both Melchi and Christ were men BORN OF A WOMAN. Just that Melchi's birth and death record wasn't recored doesn't mean he had not died for long even Christ as a man died. If you saying Melchi didn't die, is he greater than Christ. Even in Hebrews, Christ is greater than Melchi; I don't have time to prove that now.

Don't come here and lie that he was a man!

I don't understand what you talking about here. If you refering to Melchi, he was a man and had died long ago, just his death wasn't recorded and without proof of his death certificate and\or record, it is 'believed or assumed' he lives forever. Christ had a death record and they both man. When then can't Melchi die?

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

I will continue to read and contribute when I wake up, I'm tired now.

I should answer all your questions before you wake up tomorrow or at most when I wake up. Cool down, I need to read the thread from where I left off following the discussion. Good night and sleep tight.

Gombs: Hebrews 7 v 9-10 AMP
9 A person might even say that Levi [the father of
the priestly tribe] himself, who received tithes (the
tenth), paid tithes through Abraham,
10 For he was still in the loins of his forefather
[Abraham]
when Melchizedek met him [Abraham].


Again I ask...Did Levi give the tithes physically?

It's what the bible said...go and read it
I don't understand what you saying here. However,what the writer is saying is, what Paul the Apostle said when he said "in Adam, we all sinned because we're in Adam when he sinned". So, we are made or born sinner,not because we broke any 10 commandments when we were born and in same manner and truth,"in Christ, we are made righteous". Levi did not pay tithe physically but in Abraham. So,both Abraham and Levite in him, the writer is showing Melchizedek is greater than them both.

Now, when this same Levi was born, he further have a commandment according to the Law to receive tithe from other Israelites, he didn't receive tithe in Abraham, notice. That commandment was further disannulled and the priesthood changed.

You've been talking about 'order of Melchizedek'. It's very simple - 1,2,3 are numberic order in which AFTER 1 is 2 and AFTER 2 is 3. A,B,C is an alphabetic order. When you have A following the order of 1,we all know that's another order called alphanumeric. Jesus is 'in the order of' BUT NOT Melchizedek himself.

ayoku777:
I said Jesus is Melchizedek,
you guys said no, that having no beginning doesn't mean pre-existing creation. That it was just referring to his genealogy.
Was that a typo error which you meant to type Jesus is NOT or you meant what you typed? Just an observation bro.
