In the passage in Mala...As I have told you before;<br /><br />In the passage in Malachi, they were actually tithing, and yet God accuses them of robbing Him IN their tithes! They were bringing their sick, blemished and lame animals as their tithe, but it still was a tithe! So how does this apply today? If your dollar bill has a rip in it, would that count?<br /><br />The Christian Church does NOT have a command to tithe, but rather here is the rule for Christians;<br /><br />6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7<br /><br />If the law of tithing is still in effect then it is a necessity, but Paul says there is no necessity!<br /><br />As a partner in the gospel with God He gives His Children the right to administer His funds.<br /><br />25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Matthew 17:25<br /><br />Here is the other principle spoken by Jesus Christ Himself;<br /><br />Luke 14:33 <br />So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.<br /><br />"Cannot" is a very big and all encompassing word! The rule in the Church-Age is 100%, not a mere tenth! If you are keeping 90% for yourself, you cannot be His disciple!<br /><br />I Corinthians 10:31 <br />Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.<br /><br />Here is a book you should read. Matthew Narramore has graciously put the whole book on-line for you to read for free. I would recommend that after reading it you should buy a hard copy and share it with others!<br /><br />Since your site won't allow links, do a search for "Tithing, Low-Realm, Obsolete, and Defunct" by Matthew Narramore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
