Tithing…Is it a command?

[good samaritan]

I think you are wanting to know if the collection is to be taken up for the saints? It is but that includes all saints. I don't think that Peter was in Jerusalem saying I'm a minister of the gospel I don't receive offerings. I think it probably was going to where their was a need. All the things I mentioned in our church operations I believe would be considered needs, but not limited to just that.

Good morning to all of you tithe teaching heretic brothers....I have a verse for you today. Since you teach "partial Law" for the saints, here is your favorite verse!!!


Hebrews 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:


Mal 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.







I just wonder who is the authority on letting us know which laws to keep and which to discard for today?

[UnTraditional]

Tithe, as I said before, was before the Law of Moses. It is a principle that predates the Law, and does continue on as principle to this day. When we teach tithing as Law, we are not in right. But, as we teach tithing as a principle that predates the Law, continued in the Law, and continues on to this day, we are in fact teaching as the Bible teaches.

Tithing was before the Law. But, if we go on according to your reasoning, we must also stop worship and praise, as that was in the Law. prayer was in the Law. Oneness of God was in the Law. So, according to you, just because it was in the Law means it was bad. No, instead we see things that predates, precedes the Law as a principle that was ordained by God.

The Law was fulfilled in Christ. But, that which was ordained before the Law continues.

]PLEASE give me the verse for this statement!!!






Circumcision was before the Law, ???

[UnTraditional]

Covenant was before the Law. And circumcision was before the Law, was part of the Covenant, and continues on to the New Covenant. What has changed though was the method of circumcision. We are circumcised spiritually now through Jesus name baptism. The principle of circumcision has continued on. Just like the principle of the tithe.
