Thrash, stuff for dustbin

Abraham's one time payment of a 10% tip, after Melchizedek had fed him, and probably his men as well, with Bread and wine, on their way back from war, mind you, had nothing to do with any law in practice at the time.
Note also that the 10% tip was paid to Melchizedek after, not before the food and wine

Kobojunkie:
What is trash in it?

Kobojunkie:
You have to understand that the very Old Covenant was in fact the constitution that God created for the nation of Israel. Yes, God's agreement was that He be the King over the people of Israel. And He created that constitution for His rule over Isreal/descendants of Jacob, an everlasting agreement.

So yes, most of the concepts contained were not suggested to have been invented at the point that God included them in His constitution. There were other nations with their own constitutions as well. What is of importance is the fact that the one that God defined is the one those who believe in God ought to be interested in learning of and focusing in on.

what is a covenant and how does it operate. the covenant with israel ix whose covenant.

Deuteronomy 26 vs 16-24
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. “Today the Lord your God commands you to obey all these laws and rules. Be careful to follow them with all your heart and soul.
17. Today you have said that the Lord is your God. You have promised to live the way he wants. You promised to follow his teachings and to obey his laws and commands. You said you would do everything he tells you to do.
18. And today the Lord has accepted you to be his own people. He has promised you this. The Lord also said that you must obey all his commands.
19. The Lord will make you greater than all the nations he made. He will give you praise, fame, and honor. And you will be his own special people, as he promised.”

Kobojunkie, your posts are shallow, get down to study the bible, study not read like fiction.

Kobojunkie:
Do you realize you have NEVER actually stated what exactly it is that I have said WRONG in any of my posts so far?

MightySparrow:
Not necessary.

1. Only the Priest, a Levite of the House of Israel was authorized to take tithes from the people. No Pastor, Bishop, Evangelist, apostle, prophet ever collected tithes because they were not authorized to do so by The Most High. (Nehemiah 10:37-38)

2. Since temple worship has ceased, so has Tithe and Firstfruit collection ceased until the Saviour returns, who will restore the priesthood and temple worship.

3. Tithes and firstfruits were received from only Israelites only at the place YAH chose to put his name, the temple in Jerusalem. (Deut 14:23, 2Chron 6:6)

4. Only landowners who grew crops and livestock tithed of their harvest, the Savior who was a carpenter couldn't have paid tithes. (Leviticus 27:30,32)

5. Money was not given as tithe. Tithes were in seeds, fruits, livestock, and other agricultural produce. You were penalized for bringing money as the tithe. (Leviticus 27:30-32)

6. The tither, together with the fatherless, the widows, the stranger, and the Levite (who had no land, or business) all came to the temple to eat the tithe and be satisfied. (Deut 14:23,29)

7. FIRSTFRUITS... that one is a whole new level of fraud.

8. Did Abraham and Jacob pay tithes as Christians do today?

These and many more in this video for those who love to know and walk in truth. For those who will continue in this deceit, there is a warning for you.

Kobojunkie:
ok

MightySparrow:
One last thing, I like your last response, no abuses or foul response. In the penulmate post, I ask the meaning and operation of a covenant and two, whose covenant was re - enacted with Israel? (paraphrased) you didn't give any answer. If asked to define government, do you start with Nigerian constitution? cheers.

Kobojunkie:
I don't see what the point is in defining what a Covenant is when the only two covenants relevant to this discussion, as defined in the bible are :

a) The Old Covenant which also serves as the constitution for the state of Israel as defined by God Himself
b) The New covenant which serves as substitute law for those who want to have eternal life and the Kingdom of Heaven

donnie:
No one can lawfully collect tithes today. It's only when it comes to collecting people's money that pastors remember the laws of YAH.
