Should a Christian tithe, what does the Bible say

Your wrong, a preacher should preach the whole counsel of God. That means the whole completed cannon of scripture, yes I know you don't like giving anything to God because you worship the god mammon.
This is a common problem with Christians, they don't like to listen to those scriptures which obliged them to give something back to God. Most Christians are only in it to use God to fulfill the lusts of their flesh

More arrogant insults based on ignorance (and not following the thread). You're doing a fine job of revealing the darkness in your own heart.

You show all the grace and wisdom of a silly boy. I'm surprised you're married.

No, you don't agree with Jesus who gave us shepherds. You want to be your own shepherd and that leaves you open to the wolves. This is why so many Christians fall prey to their own foolish wisdom which leads them to destruction.

The shepherd preaches the Word of God and you go home and read about it in your Bible to acquaint yourself with it. You are not smart enough as a sheep to lead yourself, stop fooling yourself into thinking that your a shepherd. You're just a dumb sheep like the rest of us

This post of yours is just foolish. You have been told repeatedly that "not tithing" is not equivalent to "not giving at all". Repeating your error demonstrates that either you aren't paying attention or you aren't teachable... or both.

Agreed but most of the time this means monitarily as well...but not exclusively

My pastor warned me about, self appointed smarties like you. Sadly your type is common, but your kind don't agree with each other. You all went and read the Bible using your fallen carnal and sinful minds and you came up with thousands of stupid assumptions, all claiming to posses the truth. Making themselves wise, they became fools!

Yes, we are to give financially, and in other ways.

I recall one tithe-teacher start on the idea that Christians should tithe their time as well as their money. I don't think he did the math on that before preaching it.

If there's one thing I'd like to impress on people, it's that "tithing" and "giving" are not synonymous. I see much error coming from this conflation of distinct ideas. Tithing was never voluntary; giving always is.

To what have I appointed myself? Give up your unfounded insults. If your pastor is teaching you to treat others like this, he is not a shepherd of Christ at all.

I'm growing tired of your foolish behaviour. You aren't here to learn, and you have nothing of your own to teach; you're only parroting your pastor. Grow up.

I refered to some of that..we are supposed to give our "first fruits to God..money..time..etc..He doesnt want our left overs..theres..tithe..offering and giving..each has a purpose...

Under the old covenant, yes, they are distinct. We as Christians aren't under the old covenant though. There is no Scripture enjoining Christians to "tithe". If it had been a requirement, it would have been listed in Acts 15. It wasn't.

I can respect those who, in their own private giving, give ten percent because they feel that is what God wants them, specifically, to do. However, when people try to teach other Christians to tithe, I will object strenuously, because it simply is not biblically defensible. We aren't under the Law.

i have a shepherd, named Jesus. He's very good at what He does.

it's true that i'm stupid, but i'm not trying to take His place. He's the one who told me to seek understanding and the one who gives it just as He promises.

and according to you this would be the prosperity gospel of greed. Jesus and the 12 preached against this.

i worship money, and you came to this conclusion because i speak against greedy churches that ask for money? makes no sense to me but ok.

but your not talking about "something" in general, your talking about money and only money. and money is a lust of the flesh BTW.

who are these shepherds?

Your right, I'm not here to learn from false professors like you. There are plenty of brothers and sisters here who actually share the true Gospel, because they have the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Read you Bible and you will learn that a New Testament Church is led by God's appointed shepherds. The problem is too many "Christians" have ignored Gods Word and appointed themselves shepherds.

The Bible tells us that God wants us to give Him our money generously, and that's a big problem for false professors because they worship the god of mammon. It's like asking you to give up your false god and that exposes false professors very quickly.

Jesus can't be your shepherd, He's in heaven so how can He shepherd you here on earth, man talk about being deceived

I don't disagree.

Peter feared for his life in the face of a horrible, gut wrenching test most of us have not been forced to deal with.

Ananias set out to deceive, (Convince someone of a lie) while claiming to be a "Christian".

Although Peter lied, he was not a liar at heart. The same can't be said about the other two, IMO.

It can't be denied though, that Ananias did willfully and purposefully disobey several of God's Commandments. Had they humbled themselves to God and His instructions, they could have "Ruled over" the sin that dwelt within them. But like so "many", they wanted the prize without running the race. They wanted repentance without the change. They wanted the Grace without the Faith.
