You want me to qualify which Law I'm speaking of?
I'm speaking of the difference between the Old Covenant (Mosaic) and the New Covenant.
That's not A LAW, it's the difference between the LAW and GRACE.

You don't seem to get the point.
You can tithe or give all you want to - no one is trying to stop you Fredoheaven.
But we are not FORCED to tithe, if we are under the N.C., and the pastor cannot lord it over you.


Blessings.

What makes it a poor example? (1) Abram didn't give just a tenth. (2) Abram's giving wasn't from what he earned from occupational work. (3) There is no O.T. example of Abram giving a tenth on occupational work.

If Scripture is there to support the "tenth", as God said it then we should by all means believe it. Scripture support is there for giving ALL. Furthermore, in this case, giving on war spoils.

It was written there by Moses by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, our idea seems to make it a poor idea. Moses was inspired to write that Abram went to war to save his nephew Lot. He won the war and gave back ALL the spoils, with a majority of it going to the King of Salem and a tenth going to Melchizedek.

What could be better if someone cherry pick scriptures while some cherry pick ideas and opinions. Just avoid cherry-picking whenever possible.

but the question is did he not give the 10%? You don't need to dwell on the problem by giving 100% There is no question of whether Abram gave 10% since, as I have repeated over and over and over, Abram gave 100%. It's tithing promoters who focus on the 10% and neglect that Abram gave 100% and that he gave 100% on war spoils rather than on occupational work.

Yap, still the scriptures make it a good example...it's not really the war spoils is the issue but the tenth. Thanks my friend. Is this a second round for tithe thread? hehehe...

Bless you!

God uses the tithe to test the hearts of men. Do you really trust Me, then trust Me with your money. Many find this hard to do and many say all God (or church) wants is your money. God don't need your money, He has been around longer than you and will be around after your gone. It is for your benefit to give to God. I'm saying His streets are paved with Gold. You need to give and He don't need it. What did you give to tell the oceans to stop here and what did you contribute to tell the sun stay here?

I think you've done a better job of cherry-picking in this thread...pointing at the tenth and minimizing the rest.

Which of the three O.T. types of tithes are you referring to...and why are only acknowledging 1 of the 3?

Fran is the name of a girl.

Since there are so many on this thread that are bothered by preaching on tithing,
it must mean that:

It's presented as an imposition
and NOT as a recommendation.

Yes, it is usually preached as an imposition.

In some churches, one has to tithe to be a member.

Those who object to tithing(giving 10%) usually favor grace/love offerings or sacrificial giving.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. -2 Cor 9:7

This type of giving has no set %. So, for one it might mean very low percentage and for the next it may mean a very high percentage.
