Tithes

Actually, since all Holy Ghost believers are royal priests...the tithe should go to all of us.

The reality is....

[Sean]

11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

[Sean]

The priesthood, including the Law is changed, yet these tithe teachers think we must go back and mimic the Law of Moses.

[Sean]

Here is what your priest/pastor tells you.....


5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

They ignore the "according to the Law" part though.

Jesus is our High Priest...

The Pastorial office is our sub-high priest...

The 11 non-priestly tribes are the saints.

Never heard this teaching in my life.

I only threw it out there to EXPOSE what you already heard about the poor, carnal, non priestly 11 tribes being the saints.

It is inaccurate, but much more accurate than the status quo typology.

Was the law around when tithing began?

I've never heard about the poor, carnal, non priestly 11 tribes being the saints.

Where did you hear this teaching?

[Sean]

You see David, the 11 tribes had NO access to the ministry of God. They could not go in the temple to minister.

Who is it closer to being a type of?

Saints?

Or sinners?

This is common teaching, I just added the "poor,carnal" part to make a point.
