I think they would too! I look at tithing as a test of faith. But that's me, I don't expect everyone to see it that way.

I'm not judging, just expressing what I believe is scriptural. As I have said, your decisions are between you and the Lord.

Yes, you can figure from a business standpoint that profit is not profit and is actually a loss. It's done every day in the legal world. That is between you and the Lord.

Is 10% of your profits to much of God to ask? Some may have to lower their standard of living if they can't afford that. But of course that is if Jesus is more important than the money. To some I suppose He is not.

I certainly don't want to explain to Christ why I didn't support the Church He died to create.

Gen. 14:19-20 "And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all." Melchizedek was a type of Christ and Abraham gave a tithe (a...

If Jesus was in charge of that money and He was, and if Jesus obeyed the Law and He did, then Jesus paid tithes on that money He received. It is only my opinion that He paid those tithes by giving to the poor.

LOL, who said He changed the Law?

The tithe that Jesus paid was to the poor, not to the temple that disgraced Him. I think we can safely say without fear of exaggerating that Jesus gave to the poor from John 13:29, "For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we...

The Law allows for whatever the Son of God says it allows for. He is the One who wrote it, and we see many things of the Law not understood by them and us.

That is referring to the covenant God with Abraham. He could not go back and change that promise to Abraham concerning his offspring through Jacob.

Yes, I do. The Sabbath is not a moral law, that's why I referred to the moral law instead of the 10 commandments. I knew it would come up.

The money that Judas kept that was given to them, and therefore given also to Christ, was He to give that money to the crooked Sanhedrin or to the poor as He gave commandment?

It's common sense. The moral laws of the Law of Moses were carried over into the New Covenant. It was wrong to steal, murder, etc, etc, 3000 years ago and it's still wrong today. Those laws are still in force. I used for example that justification by faith being in effect before, during, and...

Yes, and your portion is a minimum of 10%. There is nothing in scripture that says the tithe has ended, it is assumed by some who are trying to escape the responsibility of it.
