The return of my boss part 7

Thankfully, Jewish theologians know better than their Christian counterparts. They are well aware that only Levites have the right to receive tithe of the people. After all, the Jewish leaders have the Old Testament as their Scripture and that’s what it commands. And since there is no Temple in existence (and consequently no ordained Levites or Priests serving in a Temple), then a major factor in fulfilling the laws of tithing does not exist in our modern world.
In regard to this, it may be profitable to relate an event that happened to me over thirty–five years ago when I was just starting to study theology in college. A letter had been given to me for answering. It was from a woman who heard that modern Jews were not tithing. She wanted to know whether the information was true, and if so, why the Jews seemingly violated the plain laws of the Bible which spoke of tithing as a law to be obeyed?
.
Having read the letter, I began to share her concern. To resolve the matter I telephoned three rabbis in the Los Angeles area for their explanation. Much to my dismay, all three independently of each other informed me that no religious Jew should tithe today. I was startled at their replies. This appeared to be evidence that the Jews were so lax with their biblical interpretation that they were abandoning even the simple words of their own Scripture about the laws of tithing.
By the time I spoke with the last rabbi, my youthful indignation was beginning to emerge. But that rabbi then wisely began to show me my ignorance (not his) in the whole matter. First, he admitted that none of his congregation paid one penny of tithe that was demanded in the Old Testament. He then said: "If any member of my synagogue paid tithe in the scriptural manner, he would be disobeying the law of God—he would be sinning against God."
I was staggered by his answer. He went on to inform me that since the Bible demands that the tithe be paid to Levites, he said it would be wrong to pay it to anyone else. And further, because there is presently no official Levitical order of Priests ministering at a Temple in Jerusalem, this makes it illegal at this period to pay any biblical tithe. He went on to say, however, that the moment a Temple is rebuilt, with its altar in operation and with the priesthood officiating at that altar (and the Levites there to assist them), then every Jew who lives in the tithing zones mentioned in the Bible will be required to tithe according to the biblical commands.
This teaching was a revelation to me (as it may be to some of our readers), but the rabbi gave the proper biblical answers. To pay the biblical tithe at this time, without Levites and Priests in their regular ordained offices and doing service in the Temple, would be "sin" both to the giver and the receiver. The rabbi told me: "If we are to obey the law, we cannot pay tithe unless we pay it to the ones ordained by God to accept that tithe."
[b]The rabbi explained that though he was the chief rabbi of his synagogue, he was not a Levite. He said he was descended from the tribe of Judah and was thereby not eligible to receive tithe. The same disqualification applied even to Christ Jesus while he was on earth since he was also reckoned as having come from the tribe of Judah. This same restriction was applicable to the activities of the apostle Peter (because he was as well from Judah) and it applied to the apostle Paul (because he was from the tribe of Benjamin). Neither Christ nor those apostles were Levites so they were all disqualified from receiving any part of the biblical tithe . It is just that simple.
And listen, if Christ, Peter and Paul did not use the biblical tithe for any of their work in teaching the Gospel, Christian ministers today should not use the biblical tithe either. The Jewish religious authorities are wise enough to read what the Word of God states about the tithe and, thankfully, they abide by it. But our Gentile preachers and priests care very little what the biblical texts actually state and go merrily on their way by devising their own laws of tithing which are different from those of the Bible.[/b]
The rabbi then gave me some information on the method that many Jews use today to secure adequate funds with which to operate their religious organizations. He went on to say that the activities of his synagogue were financially supported through the adoption of the "patron system" by its members. That is, families would buy seats in the synagogue for various prices each year. The rabbi mentioned that many of his congregation actually paid more than a tenth of their income to get better seats in the synagogue. This method for raising funds is perfectly proper (from the biblical point of view) if Jews wish to use it. This is because the money is paid to the synagogue and not to an ordained Levitical priesthood.
The final rabbi was correctly interpreting the teaching of the Holy Scripture. While many Christian ministers today teach that Christians may be in danger of missing salvation itself if they do not pay tithe to the church, Jewish rabbis know better than to say such a thing. They realize that it is biblically improper (actually, it is a blatant disobedience to the laws of the Bible) for anyone to pay or to receive the biblical tithe today. And any minister or ecclesiastical leader who uses the biblical tithe (or any one who pays to a minister the biblical tithe) is a sinner in the eyes of God.

Desyner:
The fact that others can't comment on a Muslim thread because their brain can't comprehend Islam until they accept it speaks volume of Islam. It means people who accept Islam didn't understand it until they were in it. Who then led them to Islam? A priest or babalawo? I ask these question cos if we say Islam ticks all the boxes of a cult you guys say we insult the holy blah! blah!! blah!!!
Add the fact that you guys are permitted to lie in order to advance the Islam and it becomes even stranger. What kind of true religion permits lie ?


@topic, Ignore those who think they can give literal meaning to everything in the bible. When the bible says "let the dead bury their dead", can a dead man bury another dead man in the physical sense ?
People who deny spirituality are mostly conscious practicing witches. They deny the spiritual to lay a foundation of denial of their evil acts.

it is none of your business if anybody decides to worship a stone, provided the person follows the golden rule, the same way we criticize the muslem with insult, is same way atheist criticize christianity, did the bible nt warn you to beware of one world religion.
and for your information am a tolerant christian.

In the event of Daddy Freeze controversy about tithing. I have watched with keen interest the reactions of some online skeptics as they attempt to disprove Christianity with all sort of mouth bashing possible. Some comments on Christianity are as horrible and distasteful as the worldview that nurtured them. It is funny how some persons will brand Christians with such name as religitard, or dumb, unintelligent bands of idiots. I kid not, I have seen worst name calling, but growing old has been helpful in being socially conservative about issues of such inane concern.

Characterizing christianity with irrationality would imply that scholars like Alvin Plantinga (University of Notre Dame), Peter van Inwagen (University of Notre Dame), the late William Alston (University of Syracuse), Richard Swinburne (Oxford University), Robert Adams (University of North Carolina), Dean Zimmerman (Rutgers University); scientists: Francisco Ayala (highly decorated evolutionary biologist), Allan Sandage (world’s most famous astronomer), Christopher Isham (called Britain’s greatest quantum cosmologist), George Ellis (one who probably knows cosmology than anyone alive), Francis Collins (head of the human genome project); historical Jesus scholars: John Meier (author of a multi-volume study of the historical Jesus), N. T. Wright (another writer of prodigious works on Jesus), James D. G. Dunn (highly regarded scholar at the University of Durham) who happen to be Christians are all dumb, irrational and stupid. Whatever that even mean?

One should be keen to ask whether how many scholarly books have the destructive critic read on the subject of the historical Jesus, and Christian claims to have assumed the authority of branding the whole world Christians dumb, and stupid.

Let's grant for the sake of argument that Christians are infact stupid, irrational and dumb, how on earth does it show that Christianity isn't true?

Just take a look at this inductive argument

Premise 1: Christians are stupid, irrational, dumb and unintelligent
Premise 2: Therefore, Christianity is not true.
.
How does P2 follows from P1. That is simply non sequitur.
It is like attacking the intelligence of Christians to attack their worldview. In essence, you're not objecting the truth proposition of the Christians, rather their person. That is ad hominem. If you will attack christianity, do so intelligently, attacking Christians isn't good for the business of objective criticism or even of attention seeking, it is more like playing a Russian roulette with a loaded gun.

but it is normal for christians to attack muslems with same harsh words, insulting their prophet and belief, my brother until christians start being tolerant of others it would never stop.

Try and check

also this one, where they pastors forgot that the bible also stated no tithe on the Sabbath year, which is six years of tithe, one year of rest.
.
Leviticus 25:1-7New International Version (NIV)
The Sabbath Year
25 The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the
Lord.
3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.
4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. 5 Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.
6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you,
7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
