Of course that is not okay. Did you not read what I wrote? I said the substance of NINE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE BROUGHT FORWARD INTO THE NEW TESTAMENT. I also said the Sabbath command was the ONLY one, out of the ten, that was not brought forward.

I believe you are incorrect. I believe that only that which is carried forward into the New Testament applies to us today. It so happens that the substance of nine of the Ten Commandments were, in fact, carried forward - all but the Sabbath command. Matthew 5:17-18 states Christ came to...

And I have agreed with that all along. They should have been doing both. YES. THEY WERE UNDER THE LAW. Of course they should have been doing both. Has absolutely NOTHING to do with born-again believers. Jesus could not have said they should NOT have been doing both, could He? They were...

Some pastors teach you tithe on “all your increase.” That is NOT Biblical. Let’s look at the scriptures. The First Tithe is defined in Leviticus 27:30, 32. This is the tithe that supported the priesthood. The word “increase” isn’t even used. Leviticus...

You misinterpret what Jesus said. The Holy Bible, King James Version Matthew 23:23 (KJV) 23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have...

Yet there is NO teaching of tithing after Calvary. In fact, what Paul taught contradicts tithing. But I can see you have your blinders on and I am wasting my time. I agree with the following who all agree that tithing ended at the cross. Tithing opponents throughout the years as compiled...

I guess you haven't understood anything I have written. 1 - First you start here with the widow's mite. That had nothing to do with tithing. This topic is on tithing. 2 - Again, when Jesus was speaking to the Scribes and Pharisees THEY WERE STILL UNDER THE LAW. Of course Jesus said they...

Every pastor I have asked agrees that tithing is NOT sowing a seed. Those that teach tithing have said that giving beyond the tithe is sowing a seed, but not the tenth. It amazes me how often I hear someone say they don't like to tip a server more than 10% because that's more than we give the...

1 - When Jesus spoke to the Scribes and Pharisees they were under the law. Jesus said NOTHING about tithing free of the law. Jesus even referred to MATTERS OF THE LAW, not tithing by faith, etc. (Matthew 23:23) 2 - The Israelites didn't begin tithing until they reached and were settled on...

1 - Since I have made it clear that I do not tithe, how can you say, "Odd that God would lead you to tithe to all those criminals."? I give NOTHING to the organized church. I give to God the only way Jesus said we could. I give to those I know who are in need. 2 - Abram gave a tenth BEFORE...

You must think you can buy blessings from God. This is one of the problems with the local churches today. The pastors who teach you tithe to get blessings are merchandising God. When you give your money to the local church, you are giving it to man, not God. You are giving most likely to a...

Again, God NEVER commanded a tithe of money, or a tithe from income. Increase does not equate to income. (Leviticus 27:30-33). God NEVER commanded a tithe of any kind to be given to a church or pastor. God commanded His tithe be given to the Levites. Plain and simple. Only those who...

Being Spirit led instead of using outdated OT law, I give in excess of 30% of my gross income, consistently, month after month. Some months I am led to give even more, resulting in having to use retirement savings to pay for part of my own living expenses. I have found that teaching tithing...

I agree. The "other" is referring back to tithing as MATTERS OF THE LAW. I belong to no church denomination. I have my own financial ministry which deals with this topic 7 days a week. Let’s look closely at Abram’s tithe. First, the goods that Abram gave the tenth from didn’t even...
