Pastor AIO:
There is absolutely nowhere in the bible where it says that the purpose of tithe is to do 'God's Work'.

Perhaps you could define for me what you mean by 'God's Work'.

What did you understand by this quote of yours: This tithe was distributed locally "within thy gates" Deuteronomy 14:28 to support the Levites and assist the poor.

I'll give you the full quote:
I raise this point, not so much for your benefit, but rather for the benefit of Prince Kevo who wants to know where it says that the tithes should be brought to anywhere else other than the 'house of God'.

Let me repeat my assertion for the benefit of those who might not have got it first time round.

The purpose of Tithe is to feast people in the presence of the Lord. The meal has been set apart and is to be consumed with a pure heart and with acknowledgement of God's blessings.
1. Pardon me, perhaps i didnt quite understand you at first, yes i must say i agree with you as against by initial contrary. The purpose of Tithing means more than God's work on the context of where the OP opined. Little wonder i thought of posting it up b4 my later post

2. However i bet to differ on your second notion that the tithe was meant for the levites and to assist the poor/widows only. The original purpose of tithe meant an act of worship, inquiry, appeasement and appreciation to a deity (God)  hence the root hebrew term "ma'aser". This to me is quite different from you opinion on the general use/purpose of tithing for the levites and the poor (to feast people as you put it). For the origin of your purpose of tithe ascertion i'll say started from Moses and not from Abraham. How do i mean: The scriptures never told us that the tithe Abraham gave was given to any poor person or widowed for that matter neither was it used for feasting. Rather he gave it to a Priest, and the reason for this was not because The Priest never had any inheritance (like you think is the reason why levites take tithes) or whatever but because he stood in place on YHWH.


Hebrews 7:8
In the case of the priests the tenth is collected by men who die ; but as for Melchizedek the tenth was collected by one who lives, as the scripture says.


Maybe i m yet to understand you stands better.!

Pastor AIO:

Mr.AIO,

let me stand to correct your ascertion abit. Because you have not come across a thing or done a search on it shouldnt mean one should come all here to say that such a thing never exists.

The tithe you know from my understanding of your posts so far is more of the mosaic administrative form of tithing. The tithe practise by Abraham was the Ma'aser (the original tithe) and wat Moses taught and commanded the Israelites were the Bikurim and Terumat tithings, so if you're making your notions based on the later then i'll dat you read this


Tithe - The Definition:

(Tithe) (Hebrew “ma±¦´¢r”):

Is defined as the custom of giving a 10th part of the products of the land and of the spoils of war to priests and kings (1 Macc 10:31; 11:35; 1 Sam 8:15,17)The custom is a very ancient one among most nations. That the Jews had this custom long before the institution of the Mosaic Law is shown by Gen 14:17-20 (cf. Heb 7:4) and Gen 28:22.
A better rendering for the original word " ma±¦´¢r " means a standard of parting one's possession into 10 places and giving a 10th to a superior being mostly revered as a demi-god or priest to a god/goddess . It is a well- known fact that this custom dated before the advent of Abraham. Babylon was a nation/ people who performed this ritual before Abraham’s account and they called it


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The “Ma`aser”- In the time of Abraham

According to the Genesis account, Abram, returning from a battle by the Dead Sea, was hailed by Melchizedek, king of Salem (Jerusalem) who was also the priest of El Elyon ("the Most High God"wink (Genesis 14:18):

18. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

19. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

20. And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

(Genesis 14:18-20, Holy Bible, King James Version)


When Melchizedek appeared and offered Abram bread and wine and blessed him in the name of God, tithes were exchanged. Later, in (Genesis 28:22), Abraham's grandson Jacob also made a commitment to give God back a tenth of his increase. Now a careful look at this will reveal that this act meant more of a lineage tradition to a personal practise. The case is that a good scholar will tell that not all acts of individuals were recorded ink for ink in the biblos (Bible) refer to

>>>John 21:25 -  And there are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all recorded one by one [in detail], I suppose that even the world itself could not contain (have room for) the books that would be written. AMP.

Now if this is true, then a logical structure will show that if  (Abraham)the Father tithed then (Isaac) the son must have tithed for the Grandson (Jacob) to have promised tithe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Bikkurim, Terumah, Ma'aser Rishon and Terumat Ma'aser” -In the time of Moses and Under Mosaic Law

The tithe is specifically mentioned in the Book of Leviticus, the Book of Numbers and also in the Book of Deuteronomy. The tithing system was organized in a 7 year cycle, corresponding to the Shemittah cycle (You can google this for explanation).

Bikkurim Tithe: is the custom of giving THE FIRST FRUIT as a practice commanded by God (Ex.23:19, Num.15:20, Deut.26:2) " The noun appears 16 times. The "first grain and fruit" harvested was to be offered to God Num 28:26 in recognition of God's ownership of the land and His sovereignty over nature. Bread of the "first fruits" was bread made of the first harvest grain, presented to God at Pentecost Lev 23:20. The "day of the first fruits" was Pentecost Num 28:26. Some scholars even argue that the offerings given by Abel was a tithe of his livestock (called Bikkurim) if you compare what he offered and what God commanded the Israelites in Num.18.

Ma'aser  Terumah Tithe: is the custom of setting aside a fixed proportion (Deut.12:11-. . ., Num.18:31) that is to be brought to the city of Jerusalem (The place God has chosen as a dwelling for His name), scholars believe Terumah tithe was same as what Apostle Paul commanded the Corinthian Christians in 1Cor.16:2 .Now some Christians argue that because it was not explicitly mentioned as tithe (but proportional collection) in the NT meant it was not tithe, now see it this way, when bible prophesied of a King to come, he was named as Emmanuel in the OT, when he was to be born in the NT he was named as Jesus, now can we say that  Jesus isn’t the same thing as Emmanuel since he was not announced as such?.
Ma'aser Rishon Tithe:This custom is what Moses commanded as the "the year of tithing" Deuteronomy 26:12-14 in which the Israelites set aside 10% of the increase of the land, they were to give this tithe to the Levites, strangers, orphans, and widows. These tithes were in reality more like taxes for the people of Israel and were mandatory, not optional giving. This tithe was distributed locally "within thy gates" Deuteronomy 14:28 to support the Levites and assist the poor.

Terumat Ma'aser: The Levites, also known as the tribe of Levi, were descendants of Levi. They were assistants to the Israelite priests (who were the children of Aaron and, therefore,a subset of the Tribe of Levi) and did not own or inherit a territorial patrimony Numbers 18:21-28. Their function in society was that of temple functionaries, teachers and trusted civil servants who supervised the weights and scales and witnessed agreements. The goods donated from the other Israeli tribes were their source of sustenance. They received from "all Israel" a tithe of food or livestock for support, and in turn would set aside a tenth portion of that tithe for the Aaronic priests in Jerusalem and this was referred to as the Terumat Ma’aser.

A memory lane through time will show that all nations of old practiced this act no little wonder we have the government system of tithing called Tax today. Romans, Greeks, Asian (minors and majors), the 3 American cardinals all practice tithing.
Christianity EtcRe: Paying Tithe To Widows And Orphans by Tonyet1(m): 10:10am On Dec 30, 2009
@Poster,

Thanks for you act of benevolence but i think you should read this


Tithe – can it be substituted for freewill offering?

Often atimes I hear people talk of choosing rather to give to the poor than give the church their due benevolence. Let’s see how the scriptures answer this one,

Matt 26:6-13


6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper,
7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked.
9 "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."
10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.
11[b] The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. [/b]


With this passages I will class the so called-righteous Christians into verse 9,for they’ll rather chose to give to the poor and widows their offerings than give to the church, howbeit Jesus’ reply to them in verse 10 will forever remain supreme.

Therefore let us give to God what is due God (Matt. 22:21), give to Caesar (beggars, poor, widows) what belong to them. In the Old Testament administrative tithing, Moses’ commanded them to set aside the tithes in the 3rd year and give specifically unto the strangers, widows and orphans. Simple!.

An error it will be to try substituting the one for the other. Let freewill offering be given as freewill offering, and tithe be given as tithe, they have different names thus serve different purposes.

Mind you, i believe in giving generously towards the ministry of christ and if possible more than just 10%. I just don't like it when the word of God is manipulated for what ever reason.

In speaking of the "scribes and the Pharisees", the forces controlling the society of his day, he pointed out striking similarities our church leaders of our modern age

Let me also remind you of what the same Jesus christ taught

Matt 5: 20[b]For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law,
you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven
[/b]
.

Do you also know that in the pretext of this scripture, Jesus was teaching of the value of His Father's word ( God's commandments ) and noted how that the Pharisees and scribes were so conscious of keeping God's commands. Therefore he warned the disciple ( You and Me) that inorder to experience the glory of His Father's kingdom we need to be more conscious in keeping this same God's commands . wink wink
Christianity EtcRe: The Teachings Of Jesus And The Realities Of The Church by Tonyet1(m): 12:07pm On Dec 24, 2009
On the teaching of How the rich could follow Him

1 Tim 6 (NIV)

17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.


KunleOshod, if Paul attested to teaching as the Lord Jesus commanded, therefore wont i be wiser to ask why didnt Paul teach the christians in his time to part away with their belongings. So you see, again you quoted that scriptures out of context because many atimes it was recorded that the folks in Jesus' time asked him questions not because they wanted to learn but to test him and Jesus knowing their heart always came up with different strokes for different folks. There is nothing wrong as to having riches and wealth but there is everything wrong in holgind severe greed as to parting away with your riches and wealth. No wonder Paul taught His folks to be generous and willing to share as against your understanding as to totally part away with it.hmmmm

2. On the danger of wealth: I can still say something rather i choose not to but leave you to your understanding. Am glad the scriptures you quoted also said something like "The Love of Money" which is the same thing i have explained up here as "agaloo ab' mammone"

And Mr.Kunle firstly do you believe that the scripture is one, and that the same spirit that inspired Wise princes of the ancients was the same spirit that inspired Apostles of the latter (2Tim.3:16). If you do, then let me say that the money you are condemning as evil is what the bible says as


- Money is a defense ( Eccl.7:12)

- Money is the answer for everything ( Eccl.10:19)

But like i said, money and wealth doesnt rep. evil, but the emotional love (agaloo) for money is what breeds evil

- For the love (agaloo) for money is the root of all evil (1tim.6:10)

Recall Paul didnt teach money to be the root of all evil, but the rather THE LOVE for money. Most times i wonder if you really search scriptures insightfully before coming to NL to confuse people, because someone reading those references of yours without firm knowledge of scriptures will hastily agree to your notions whilst wrong. angry angry cheesy cheesy
