Luke 6, Today's English Version [TEV] 38 Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands--all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you."

I love the backlands. I was joking they wanted to know if there was a code word for potty.

Romans 12, TEV - 8 ...Whoever shares with others should do it generously; ...whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully. 9 Love must be completely sincere... 10 Love one another warmly as Christian brothers, and be eager to show respect for one another... 13 Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians, and open your homes to strangers... 16 Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties... 18 Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody...

Money can be a good servant but it is a terrible master.
Of course you folks know me now...I do not believe we should gather wealth while our world is perishing.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13 ESV)
Do I think love would let a million dollars set in the bank while I believe there is a literal burning hell? NO, I do not. I am no one´s judge but I cannot imagine Jesus saying Well done...if we have not done well.

Most importantly, none of the epistles take the time to teach Gentile babes in the Lord what is tithing or why they should ... it seems counterintuitive that not one epistle addresses it if ... one of the 8 laws of tithing still applied.

Paul is simply stating the obvious that the worker ... no matter who he is ... is worthy of his salary.

It's a giant leap to make the assumption that this is an instruction ... when it is obviously an observation.

Furthermore ... Peter tells us we are all royal priests ... if we are going to use the priestly argument then we all are entitled to the tithe.

It is clear that Paul is making a parallel here to highlight the importance of the man of God being compensated.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The ball is going going going GONE!!!! Homerun!
