Question specifically about the NEW covenant.

Moses gave a provision tho

Thank you for not misinterpreting my previous message to you. Please do not misunderstand this one either

I think what you've said is a bit woolly, to be honest.
In fact, in some churches the very question I asked in my original post is purposely answered in a very woolly and vague manner as a means of side-stepping the question.

"They" do not want to admit to their flock that there is no scriptural basis for tithing in the new testament. In order to circumnavigate this fact, they make appeals to emotion (which also has no scriptural basis whatsoever).

Oh, it’s no fun to not be a giver....lol.

There’s a lot of joy in giving God 10%....we’re only hurting ourselves if we don’t...it’s the same kind of bondage as trying to justify unforgiveness.

There is discretion and wisdom that we need to walk in as we give....meaning sometimes others try to take advantage of our willingness to give so, we need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

When giving is in line with God’s heart, it is great fun and joy!

Oh, so you're saying that we still live under Mosaic law, though the law has been "written on our hearts"?
So, I take it you don't wear clothing of different fabrics?

You are splitting hairs and trying to misrepresent what the Lord teaches. The old covenant tells us not to murder, and new covenant tells us not to murder. Christ said "you have been told" and then Christ said "but I tell you". Do you think that Christ cancelled the command not to murder or did Christ tell how that command was in the new covenant? For goodness sakes think about it in light of your thoughts about it.

In the new testament, written in our hearts, we do not mix heathen thoughts and ways with ways of the Lord. In the old testament that was given an example of mixing fabrics. In the new covenant we do not need to do the physical example to know the spiritual rule. In our hearts we leave the words of the Lord pure, not mixing them with ways of the heathens.

None of this answers my question about whether tithing is a requirement under the new covenant.

Just be still and ask the Holy Spirit to answer your question...only then will you understand the Truth...by the Spirit of Truth.

I was still and asked the Holy Spirit your question.....

He said, “Although he is loved by God greatly. he is blind by pride and human reasoning unable to see or understand that “giving/tithing” is a spiritual law written on the heart, no longer a written law...Jesus Christ fulfilled ALL of the written law for him and all of mankind. If he would seek the Lord with all his heart, he would find Him and understand all the spiritual laws written on his heart.”

I answered and said, “Amen.”

It is sad that so many relatively intelligent people cannot grasp the distinction between two related concepts.

Leaves fall to the ground, and rain falls to the ground, but leaves are not rain. A cello can give a pleasant sound, and a brook can give a pleasant sound, but a cello is not a brook. A textbook can tell its reader about history, and the Bible can tell its reader about history, but a textbook is not the Bible.

A person can give, and a person can tithe, but giving is not tithing. If Christians could get this simple distinction straight, and stop misusing the terms, it would resolve a large portion of the confusion on this matter.

Tithing, under the old covenant Law, was payable with agricultural products, not money. It was never voluntary. Giving, for the Christian, is not limited to agricultural products, and is always voluntary.

Giving ten percent of your monetary income is not tithing according to the Bible. Even if you were to give one-tenth of your crops and every tenth animal to your local church (imagine the uproar!), you still aren't tithing according to the Bible because the tithe is to be brought to the Levites at the temple, not to the pastor at the church building.

Giving of your financial resources to support your local Christian fellowship IS clearly implied in Scripture as a requirement of Christians. However, that's not "tithing".

Here's the core problem: the word "tithe" is NEVER used in Scripture of a voluntary offering of money to a religious institution. If you use the word, "tithing" to describe that practice, you will have people thinking that "tithing" is a requirement. They will look in their Bibles, find the laws about tithing under the old covenant, and feel either guilty because they aren't handing over enough, or prideful because they think they are. Neither is sound, because Christians aren't under the Law. God is not the author of such confusion!

Please, STOP calling your monetary giving "tithing". It's Christianese codswollop rooted in plain ignorance (and maybe some pride). Just give your money, and if you need a word to describe the practice, use the one that the Bible uses: offering.

Is there a “spiritual law” written on our hearts now for tithing?!

I say YES! 10% of the first of all my income.

Again, this doesn't answer my question and, respectfully, is just a side step.

If you believe that Jesus Christ fulfilled the law, which he did, why do you believe that we are still required to tithe?
