tithing
Three Kinds of Maaser
A tenth of the remainder of the yield, known as maaser rishon, ‘the first tithe,’ is then separated and given to a Levite. The Levite, in turn, separates a tenth of his tithe and this, known as terumat maaser, is given to a Kohen to be treated with the same degree of sanctity as the original terumah, The portion given to the Levite has no sanctity and may be eaten by an ordinary Israelite.

The farmer separates a tenth of the reminder of his yield, known as maser sheni, ‘the second tithe.’ This has to be taken to Jerusalem and consumed there in a spirit of sanctity. If it is too difficult to take the second tithe to Jerusalem, it can be redeemed by substituting for it a sum of money which is then taken to Jerusalem and food and drink purchased with it to be consumed there.

The preacher here is in general term. It is being used as a represent pastors/preacher.

You said it is still in vogue yet ignored by the church. I never knew we have another class/type of tithes, guess It wouldn't profit them if they tell us about it.

Sister, tithe is tithe jaré.
There were three kinds of tithes .

The three different types are as follows:
1. The Levitical, or sacred tithe (Num. 18: 21, 24).
2. The tithe of the feasts (Deut. 14:22-27).
3. The tithe for the poor (Deut. 14:28, 29).
The first tithe, the one we trace back to Abra­ham (Gen. 14:18-20), is the sacred tithe, given to the Levites and priests for their service to the temple and the congregation in the Old Testa­ment. This is the tithe we continue to give under the priesthood of Melchizedek in the New Testa­ment. It is the tithe consecrated to God and the furtherance of the gospel and has, therefore, validity for all believers in Christ.
The second tithe had an entirely different aspect, and we would do well to contemplate its meaning and purposes. Our enlightened gen­eration prides itself on its social laws and pro­visions. Even a superficial study of the tithing system reveals that several thousand years back, Israel had something that resembles the Christ­mas Club savings system, only with a much broader religious and social meaning. The Levitical law required that a Jew had to go up to Jerusalem on certain occasions. In reality this religious ordinance included a definite social provision—periods of vacation for the family. And how should the head of the household pro­vide for the vacation expense? By setting aside a second tithe, the one described in Deuteronomy 14:22-27, the tithe for the feasts. Thus the second tithe was dedicated to the good of man himself, for a vacation and specifically, a vaca­tion with a religious purpose, such as going to camp meeting.
The third tithe was the tithe for the poor. According to our text in Deuteronomy 14:28, 29, this tithe was given only every third year. As the text states, the produce had to be laid up in "your towns" for the Levite, sojourner, father­less, and the widow. It suggests that the distribu­tion was not left to the individual but was a com­munity project to which everybody had to con­tribute. This tithe, therefore, was for the neigh­bor. Summarizing the three types of tithe in the Old Testament period we find a much broader concept of giving than we generally assume, giving that included first, God; second, man's own physical and spiritual welfare; and third, their neighbor's need. God, you, and your neigh­bor is a good trinity in planning one's giving.

During a house followship. . . . .Are preachers only preaching to favour themselves?
Why are you using a question to criticize the church . Is the tithe money for the preacher? Does he not give tithes as well . So how is he favoriting himself

The preacher told me to disregard that part of the bible!!! I mean; is it not the same bible?
Why didn't you ask him why he said so. ? He could have answered you.

,If we can disregard this part, why can't we disregard the other?
There was regular annual tithes which goes to Gods house through the levites . But the other 2 kinds of tithes which was shared with the poor were more like alms to the poor.

The principle still applicable . Individual alms and corporate inner city help prijecy

Why did Jesus say this then? "Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:"
Because the Jews can't treck more than a mile on sabbath day. It is called sabbath day journey

Acts 1:12
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

You may want to know the reason Jesus said so . He was talking about the tribulation. When the Jews will be running for safety from the antichrist. At the ememrgence of abomination of desolation that Daniel spoke about . If that event happens on a sabbath day they won't be able to run far for they can't travel more than a mile

Is it only the Sabbath day law (1/10) that was a shadow? Please explain this statement from James.

Now, if it was the 10 commandments (where the 4th commandment is) that was nailed to the cross, why did James have this to say? "James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law."
Why would he refer to the law again (after Jesus went to heaven) if it was nailed to the cross?
Remember, the New Testament was written after Jesus was dead and resurrected.

Tell me where the Sabbath day we'd keep in heaven would come from if it had already been nailed to the cross. Or would Jesus remove the nail? grin

Here's what Isaiah said; "Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD."

Oya come and explain oooo
i believe in the law as Gods document for man . however there are things in the law that are shadows which had been fulfilled in christ yet there are things that are principles which will always be applicable.

so issues of idolatry vs one God ,do not commit murder etc will always be principles in Gods kingdom. blood sacrifices sin offerings are shadows. clean and unclean meat are shadows. they represent the Gentiles as unclean and not to mix with them. but God told peter to eat the unclean because christ has broken down the middle wall. all are one in christ

Leviticus 11:8
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

Acts 10:13-15
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Galatians 3:28
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

This twisting is not selling at all . The lords day is Sunday ,first day of the week

1 Corinthians 16:2 (TLB)
2 On every Lord's Day each of you should put aside something from what you have earned during the week, and use it for this offering. The amount depends on how much the Lord has helped you earn. Don't wait until I get there and then try to collect it all at once.



Jesus said He is the Lord of the Sabbath. If the Sabbath is a day and Jesus is the Lord of that day, then the Lord's day is the Sabbath day.
.
Yes the sabbath of Saturday was a shadow of christ . Christ is the real sabbath . He has come to give rest . This rest is not about a particular day of the weeek it's a life in us. When you come in to christ you've entered into sabbath. But the early church started to fellowship on Sundays even though God is no longer limited to a holy day.
