Where have you seen me practice it?

Are you one of those people who make facts up?

I do not have sons yet but when i do the only reason i may decide to have them circumcised is purely for medical reasons since i was never instructed as christian to circumcise my children.

Moreso, the book of Galatians 5 makes it clear that we who are considered gentiles are not to circumcise ourselves for the sake of partaking of the Abrahamic covenant.

So, you are very wrong, and no i do not!

Oh
So the bible even said you should not circumcise because of blessings yet you still do it ba?

So also, Christians are not paying tithes to Melchizedek like their father, Abraham
They now pay to the body of Christ
Just like you do circumcision which Abraham started for medical reasons, so also Christians pay tithe which Abraham also did, for financial reasons.

Which therefore means, if the payment of tithe by Christians is not being done according to the model laid down in the bible, it is being done entirely on a free will basis just like medical circumcision, and cannot be demanded by a church. It can only be offered by the free will of a believer.

You have not proven you do medical circumcision on free will though
because you can do medical circumcision at any age
But u chose to do it for babies just like Abraham
So I think you are just trying to use a superficial reason to justify what you are already bent on doing
because actually people who are uncircumcised live happy lives just like everyone else
That aside.



Secondly, I told you they pay to the body of Christ
The church is the body of Christ
So churches can ask for tithe

If i were in fact to actually have my babies circumcised it would be an act in exercise of my own freewill, not based on a commandment. This means i can have them circumcised in whichever way suits me, at whatever age. In short, I am free to do it or not to do it without any consequence. And that is the key.

Similarly, if one decides to tithe on his own volition, there is no consequence for deciding not to tithe, and the tither can tithe in the way that they decide to tithe, and give it to whom they decide to give the tithe to. If i were to give you a voluntary gift today, would you then stand upon that as justification to demand a gift everyday?

kullozone:

Hahahahahahahah...

Tithe should also be given free will
Just as u didnt wait for someone to lecture you before circumcision (if u delay circumcision, somebody will also come for you)

So also, dont wait to be lectured before you pay tithe
That is key.

Linda ikeji is opening the eyes of most Christian's now,she made the video interview that was going rounds on WhatsApp about this issue of tithes that everyone is following the bandwagon now.
