Just curios, for something about the following passages from the New Testament book of Hebrews "strikes me as quite" odd, that is, when the issue of (mandatory) tithing of one's financial income rises its "ugly head" (as it has done here):
"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; (pls note Jesus Christ's words of
Matthew 5:48)
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment" (see
Hebrews 6:1-2).
Where within these principles of our Lord's doctrines (i.e., teachings) is the matter of "tithing" found? If it was so vitally important, as all of the pro-tithers seem to believe, then should one not question why the writer of Hebrews did not include it as being one of the elementary or fundamental doctrines/teachings o our Lord?
