Every preacher that I hear that preaches about tithing does so as "supporting the ministry". Supporting the ministry is, in deed, a new testament command and tithing was the example that Paul used when writing to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 9:13).

I know about the other forms of tithing (and the Levitical tithe of the tithe, and so on). But the tithe that has folks so wound up is that tithe to support the ministry.

What if one supports with 7% of their income? Are they dining God?

I do not need to add a concept that has already been thought in kindergarten.
The law was our schoolmaster. The law had already taught us tithing.

When you are at the college level do you go back to learning your ABC's?
what would you think of a college textbook that went back to the "See spot run"?

This is a lame argument to say nothing of ripping Galatians 3 out of context. Using this argument one could preach against shaving, against wearing a garment of mixed material, and against planting two different types of vegetables in your garden.

Any objection to these commands can be countered with "Elementary my dear Watson, elementary."

Ok, I'll tithe of my garden. If you are going to use Mosaic Law then I'll tithe food. F.Z. you can't have it both ways.

The Law???...hmmmm

Gal. 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.



Brother FZ, has your "faith come" yet?


Heb 7:5 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:

18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.


Brother FZ, you know the Law has been disannulled to the believer now ,right?

The first commandment in the Law is to love God with all our heart, mind and being, So now we can love God less?

Since we are now in Christ
Do you go and kill, do you go and steal? Do you covet?

Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets, I have not come to destroy but to fulfill, where did Jesus ever said that he was going to disannul the law? When we are in Christ we keep the law even better than the Pharisees ever did for Jesus actually elevated the law.

We still keep the lessons that the Law taught us even though we no longer are under the law but under Christ.
we still keep the precepts that the law taught us even though we are not longer under the law, but under grace.

I mean do you refuse to tie your shoes, because that is a thing taught to a child, have you quit washing your hands, since are not longer a child? have you stopped brushing your teeth since you have no more parents to remind you of it?

If you are going that route, you better not do anything that were taught as a child.

613 articles of the law, which ones do we keep?

The law taught tithing food from within the boundaries of Israel.. Do we still do that? If you go by one article you are bound to do all of it.

You're in trouble if you like ham and pork chops!!

You obviously do not understand the concept that the Law provided guidelines and examples of what to do.

it is the principles of the law that we are to keep, not the letter.
you are still in kindergarten trying to learn the ABC's.
