Re: Banned from AMF, AGAIN!
Tithes COULD be money. They could exchange whatever they had for money and give that instead.
Here's a funny thought. Let's say the temple is rebuilt and Jews begin temple worship and re institute everything...the only jews tithing will be farmers and cattle ranchers...even the richest jew who made his money on banking or real estate or whatever, would not have to offer a penny

What and where is that "house?"
Exodus 25:22; 1 Kings 8:10-11, Numbers 7:8-9; 1 Kings 8:29, 1 Kings 9:3; 2 Chronicles 7:15-15; - - - See especially Deuteronomy 12:4-14.
Those that offered their sacrifices and gave their tithes in " every place that thou seest" were the ones who " robbed God." The tithe was specifically for the House in Jerusalem. Anything else was "robbing God."
Where do you send your tithes? |
Could your local church be considered "God's House". A place of worship ,etc

We are the temple of the living God ... which means everyone keeps their tithe "in house".

Re: Banned from AMF, AGAIN!
The NT church didn't tithe. They shared all that they owned. In addition they took up offerings to meet specific needs as they arose. The early church didn't have church buildings or tithe accounts. They met in homes and Christianity spread like wildfire throughout the Roman Empire.

Correct, technically. Though if someone exchanged their tithe for money, they had to pay a 20% penalty. That is the one and only place in scripture that money is mentioned with tithing, and of course, they had to be too far to make the journey to Jerusalem to even have oppertunity to "take advantage" of this clause.
And then there is the issue of what they DID with the money they exchanged the tithe for.
