FxMasterz:
I've not said anything different from what I've been saying. Acts 15 was a talk about things needed for salvation. Tithe is not one of those things needed for salvation.

FxMasterz:
The apostles wrote to let them know that circumcision is not necessarily for salvation. They were talking about the things that they needed to do to be saved which tithing is not among. Tithing is not salvific. It is commanded as an expression of love for God, not as a necessity for salvation.

Emusan:
if you have different opinion.

FxMasterz:
Yes, it applies to anyone who joins himself to the God of Israel living within or outside Israel.

Micah 4:2
"Many nations will come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.' The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."

Prophecy fulfilled.

Tithing is a command. Not necessarily a law.

Watchtower is crafty.

Ken4Christ:
What has tithe got to do with rulers in authority or with the society?

FxMasterz:
Leviticus 24:22:,
"You shall have one law for the alien and for the native; for I am the Lord your God."

FxMasterz:
Can you show me where the command said it was for a particular people alone?

Emusan:
No! I read scripture in plain English.

That is why I never tell you THIS IS WHAT one pastor tells me.

FxMasterz:
Tithe is a biblical command. Can you quote where Christians are asked not to pay tithes in the new testament?

Emusan:
ave I ever said, this is WHAT MY PASTOR SAY about GOD and you need to believe my Pastor?

Did you investigate the claim that Santa Claus exists? So why don't you believe he exists?

Emusan:
Your your problem isn't the name of my church again, but now the NAME OF MY PASTOR. Why now ask for his wife, children and house address join? Useless tactics to boycott his lies being exposed.

FxMasterz:
Have you read Hebrews 7? Can you prove from Hebrews 7 that the tithe Jesus collects in heaven is your time spent in preaching?
The Bible says we should preach the Word and be instant in season and out of season. Does that look like preaching for 1 tenth of your time to you? Did the Disciples preach such doctrine? Did they preach for one tenth of their times only?

Ken4Christ:
Matthew 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: THESE OUGHT YE TO HAVE DONE, and not to leave the other undone

Read the concluding part of Jesus statement. So, he said, keep collecting tithe but don't neglect the other responsibilities.

Yes, it's true most churches collect tithe and neglect the poor in their midst. This is one area I have been advocating for the church to look into.

However, under the Old Testament, the good gesture of helping the widows, orphans etc from the tithe was done once in three years. This still proves that it wasn't the primary reason for tithe. Tithe is primarily for the welfare of the Levites who are full time workers in the house of God.

This brings another issue. Are workers in today’s churches adequately cared for. The answer is no. The G O enjoys the junk of the proceeds from tithe. But we will leave that to God to judge.

StillDtruth:
And you are the judaist and isrealite He was addressing and as usual with you people you never obey God,
And Christ warned you that The Law is a whole package and if you break one you break all
And since you agree some apply, all apply.
Secondly, N.T warned you to keep The Law but like Isreal you do as you like, so you have nothing valid to say and repeating yourself just proves it. So say no more and continue to do as Isreal did.

StillDtruth:
You should have said "all" not many and Christ did warn you that The Law is a whole package and if you break one you break all.
And since you agree some apply, all apply.
Secondly, N.T warned you to keep The Law but like Isreal you do as you like, your peril.

FxMasterz:
First show us from the Scriptures where Christ cursed those collecting tithes.

Then, how do you expect Christ to collect tithe when He wasn't an earthly priest. There was an Aaronic priesthood in His earthly days who were collecting tithes. The Bibles says He needed not collect tithe because the Aaronic priesthood was still in force. But the Aaronic priesthood being done away and replaced with the Priesthood of Christ, Christ receives our tithes in heaven.

Don't tell me you didn't see the scriptures I quoted. Men that die revive tithes here but there He receives it of whom that is said He lives.

Ken4Christ:
You always misinterpret scripture. Did he rebuke them because they paid tithe. He even said they ought to pay tithe but at the same time shouldn't neglect the weightier part of the law.

FxMasterz:
Christ does not need our payments. He doesn't have to be paid. Tithes are given to men on earth but spiritually, Christ receives it in heaven according to the scriptures.

FxMasterz:
The Bible commands us to tithe physical and material things only.

Emusan:
Christ the King!
So, can you address my post now?

FxMasterz:
There's no spiritual tithe Max. We're told to give our all, not our tenth when it comes to spirituality.

FxMasterz:
Don't mind Max. This scripture below proves you're right. The Bible says Christ continues to receive tithe in heaven. Hebrews 7:8
"And here (earth) mortals who receive tithes, but there (heaven) He (Jesus) receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives." (NKJV)
Or in a more literal translation from the Hebrew: "…and here mortal men receive tithes, but there (heaven) One (Jesus) receives them, of whom it is testified that He lives." (Hebrews 7:8, BLB)
Context:
Hebrews 7 discusses Melchizedek, a priest-king in Genesis 14:18-20, who received a tithe from Abraham. The author argues that Jesus Christ, as a priest in the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4), receives tithes in heaven.

StillDtruth:
Does the N.T need to tell you to Obey God? Do.you not have the sense to? Not to talk of the fact that it still Commanded you to Obey God.

lawani:
You can never see a Babalawo owning a private jet.

johnw47:
The true Church of course has God's Peace,

lawani:
I mean there are spiritualists or meta physicists who don't threaten unbelievers with damnation and who use methodology that can be demonstrated or taught to others. They don't preach hatred and etc. Those are who I mean

StillDtruth:
Did The Law not already specify that the tithe.was for the humans? And Melchizedeck was not human yet he received Abraham's tithe.
The key is God Commanded it, but obedience/disobedience is in your hands to do.

StillDtruth:
Paul only explained that Christ was/is a better High Priest which clearly means that tithes must be given to Him.
