MrPristine:
If you had quoted verse 25 in full it would have proved that money was not acceptable as tithes because God asked the tither to use the money to buy food stuff and wine but in your dishonesty you left out that part and only quoted the part that mentioned money in order to deceive those who haven't read that passage properly before.
d truth is dat most tithers do wat dey call cherry picking of scripture...only d part dat suits dem

Oh, the English man will not kill us with English.
What is the difference between command and instruction
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." - John 13:34
Is Jesus forcing us to love in the above text?
ohh am sorry so how do u explain Malachi 3:10-12 as been preached by ur likes as punishment for not tithing...as for john 13:34,a new command was given,unfortunately u Neva understood dat scripture or failed 2 see d part where he said "love as I loved u"..so my question sud b how did Jesus show love dem in john 13:34?
was his love dat of force or a willing heart?
was there any form of intimidation on his part?..dat kind of love is simply hard 2 force on sum one...nice try but Dats had nothing 2 do wit tithes...
ohh sorry u sud have told me 2 break down my English vocab so u cud comprehend dat a punishment was given 2 dose who refused 2 tithe according 2 d mosaic law..
Tithing is NOT at a stipulated time? Not everyone gets income by months end.
Some people pay tithes 3 or 4 times in the same month. Some just 2 times a year.
now see where ur error lies.... u said u don't have anything 2 do with d tithes of d law of Moses yet u run down 2 it 2 get directives..now my question... pls where in d scripture was tithe defined as a tenth of ur income??
according 2 deut 14 dat u erroneously quoted,where did God instruct d Jews 2 tithe monthly or weekly like u claim?
Thanks for the question. As I have been saying. Tithe is 10% of my income given to GOD OUT of LOVE (NOT FORCE). God is NOT a GOD of force.
If you dont want to pay, leave it but DONT bring scripture to negate it. The fact it wasnt mention in New testament does mean it is DEAD. Masturbation wasnt mention neither was smoking. Are they good? We have the Holy Spirit to lead us.
pls I requested dat ur definition of tithe came from d bible and not ur pastor's or dictionary's definition of tithes...I repeat u can not give out of love wat is required or commanded..tithe is tithe...free will is free will...don't contradict urself...and pls don't deviate by bringing up discussions dat have no relationship wit tithes...stick 2 d topic...!

Christianity EtcRe: Tithing Is Scripturally Relevant In The New Testament by openmine(m): 4:21pm On May 13, 2015
Barnabaseloka:
Thanks for your comment,but let me clarify this more.
1. I think we misunderstand something here. When we talk of tithe, we view it from two perspectives: tithe as a law and tithe as a free-will offering. Tithe simply means one-tenth. Actually, tithing (giving one-tenth) did not start from the Israelites. People still give one-tenth (tithe) of what they have to God.
Our concern is whether Christians are expected to tithe (give one-tenth) as a law (command) or as a free-will giving. One can decide within oneself to give a tenth (tithe) of one's income to God, if one is led by the Holy Spirit to do so. It is not a command that one must give one-tenth (tithe) of one's possession at a stipulated period of time (every month, week or two weeks). Giving is as one decides in one's heart (whether one-tenth or not). It is not that one must (under a command) give one-tenth of one's income as we see today being preached in churches. So tithing (giving one-tenth) of one's income still exists today but not as a command but a choice.
Lovely and explicitly explained...God bless u

2. God has given us free-will to obey what he commands us to do or not to obey. He will not force any man to obey his commands. The Israelites were commanded by God (as a law) to tithe according to the laid-down guidelines concerning these tithes. Tithe (as a law) was not just done in one way but in different ways and in different chosen times and places (Deut.14:22-29). All the laws given to Moses were commands from God which the Israelites should keep. It is left for any Israelite to keep them or not, b/c it is not by force, yet a command. Disobedience to such commands attracted punishment from God to the Israelites, including payment of tithes. It was due to their disobedience that God rebuked them in Malachi.
hmmm..d truth is dat d poster was trying 2 be smart....force is synonymous to command or instruction...and like u say any one is free to part wit any amount of money at his or her disposal including a tenth of one's income but not as a necessity or a compulsion...Nice cool cool

There was no such command (or law) given to Abraham to tithe (give one-tenth) of his possession. As such, no consequence would have come to him if he decided not to give one-tenth of what he had. Abraham could have given less than or more than what he gave. It was of his own choice to give one-tenth and would not be punished even if he did not give at all.
True and True!!

Why do tithers give one-tenth (tithe) of their income at stipulated periods of time? Are they not trying to follow the law as the Israelites did? Free-will offering or giving for Christians is not bound to be one-tenth, but what one decides to give (whether one-tenth or not).
On the otherhand, if one promises God a tenth of one's income at a stipulated time (every month or every two months or every year), such agreement is between the person and God. It is called VOW. it has nothing to do with the one-tenth people are subjected to pay every month in churches today.
Thumbs Up bro!!!
Christianity EtcRe: Tithing Is Scripturally Relevant In The New Testament by openmine(m): 4:13pm On May 13, 2015
NumberOne2:
DO NOT misquote me, kindly read my POSTS properly, I emphasize that:

1) Tithing is NOT old testament as some claim cos Abraham was NOT a JEW.
You are very wrong sir....tithes was extensively instructed(commanded) in d old testament by God to the people of israel as a way of feeding d levites that had no allotment in d land(lev 27:30-34;numbers 18:25-32)...Abraham was never instructed or commanded to tithe like the jews did...dats because it was a free will gesture and nothing more dan dat...i will repeat dis again to you...a tithe is wat it is..a tithe which is a compulsory requirement by God to d people of israel to give a tenth of their farm produce...i guess u bypassed those scriptures in d old testament smiley smiley

2) Tithing or anything in the bible is not by force. It is a choice. Right from Genesis through OLD and NEW testament, God never forced anyone to do anything. The JEWS were NOT forced to tithe as some of you keep emphasizing. We all have FREE WILL.
With all due respect 2 u,stop misinterpreting and quoting out of context scriptures that were clearly written and explained...and stop trying too hard to be smart and wity...not with the scriptures..ok?
The jews were instructed and commanded to tithe...please go back and check d scriptures very well...
do u know there was a change in the covenant which necessitated a change in d law of moses?
d choice comes from d scriptures which says we sud give as we have decided in our heart,not out of compulsion or necessity for God loves a cheerful giver 2 corinthians 9:7...which is based on d new covenant where christ is d high priest..anything other dan dat,is an error or a manipulative intent 2 extort money from hapless and ignorant christians sad

3) Abraham's tithing was NOT by force. Even the Israelites were NOT FORCED to tithe. Being Born-Again IS NOT BY FORCE. We are FREE SPIRITS
.
i dont need to repeat myself....(lev 27:30-34;numbers 18:25-32)

FINALLY those saying tithe does NOT involve money: Read Deut 14:22-27 (especially verse 25), Mat 23:23.
"Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:" - Deut 14:25
Sorry bro grin grin...u r wrong...d Israelites were instructed to bring a tenth to where d lord had instructed dem but God being lenient said,if d place be very FAR,The tithes can be CONVERTED into money and used to buy ANY THING YOUR HEART DESIRES even strong drink grin grin
as for matthew 23:23,jesus was still under d law wen he made dat submission to d pharisees...but now dat christ is now d high priest,d law of tithes along with oda laws of moses have been shattered and destroyed....
Please do NOT add or remove or deduce falsely from my statements.
U are actually d one doing so with ur analogy dat d Israelites werent forced or commanded to pay tithes sad sad
If your Pastor forced you to tithe, that is NOT my problem but TITHING is GOOD and so is GIVING TO THE POOR as well as GIVING ALL and so is FIRST FRUIT and so is STAYING UNMARRIED!
now seriously,i wud like 2 know ur definition of tithes according 2 d scriptures...so i know am not having an unfruitful dic=scus wit u...thanks?

Your statements are too sentimental for me to reply properly.
I have made reference to several scriptures but you have none except emotional outburst.

"For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
Proof of love is in giving. You love God, where is your proof?
You love your wife so you give to her. Just keep telling her about love and not doing anything and see how long that marriage will last. Love talk is cheap.
proof of love for God is but a heart dat believes in him...a heart made right with God through faith in christ jesus(Romans 3:19-22)...
questions....
was abraham obligated or instructed by God to give a tenth of d war spoils to king Melchizedek?
Is ur tithe payment directly connected to ur wealth increase?
Is our love for God based on wat we can get or wat we can give or wat we believe in?
comment on ur previous posts: ...lets be clear about one misconception....tithe is tithe...giving willingly is giving willingly....u cant lovingly pay wat is obligated or required(its a no brainer).....

You love your wife so you give to her. Just keep telling her about love and not doing anything and see how long that marriage will last. Love talk is cheap.
As for this statement,ur love for ur wife or anyone goes way beyond monetary exhibits...If ur wife's love for you is directly proportional to d amount of money given to her,den wat happens wen u r facing financial crisis?....she leaves you and runs to the next rich man...? cheesy cheesy
and to u dats d definition of love...rite??
..if such anology was used by God on his creation,none of us wud have survived his wrath... cool
but thank God for his undiluted love for us dat while we were yet sinners,he sent his son jesus christ to die for us...

For now,i have some questions for you...
1.)if abraham had not given Melchizedek a tenth of d plunder,wud God have punished him or deprived him of his blessings?
2.)was abraham's gesture to the priest connected to his wealth or health or the promises of God to his generation?
3.)was abraham under any obligation or law to give to king Melchizedek a tenth of war spoils?
4.)can you pls refer to me just ONE scripture in d bible where levites are now pastors? shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked
