What you are missing here is that they Tithed their Wheat, Grain etc... Because it was their LivelyHood... Money unfortunately Allows us to buy those things. To pay the Pastor, to have people Evangelize around the World. It is funny how you say everyone was Poor! I don't know where you got that fro...

Luk 11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. Luk 11:40 Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also? Luk 11:41 But give for alms those things which are...

Hi authentic, While I agree with you that the incessant emphasis on giving, born out of the Purpose-driven church movement may be irritating and serving to enrich, I do think there is merit in giving to the church. The good fruits of the body of Christ is not only evangelism, but also charity. Most...

I believe out of Obedience we should Tithe but not just that if you notice the first few Centuries of Christian Living they gave away all their Posessions not just the top 10%.

For the record, authentic, tithing, while commanded by the Mosaic Law, didn't originate with it. Just because something was to be done in the Law doesn't mean Christian's SHOULDN'T do it today. Now, I don't think Christians should tithe in the Mosaic sense of the word. But, we are to honor God with...

New covenant / NT scriptures tell us we have robbed God in tithes and offerings. Luk 20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be God's. Mar 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caes...

Those who say that it is a requirement unto salvation have misinterpreted the scriptures. for the scriptures say: I Corinthians 12 28And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophe...

Why are Christians still tithing
i hear alot that we are still supposed to tithe as Christians even though it was part of the law of Moses. If we are now under Grace and we no longer live according to the written law but the law of the Spirit then why do we "drink new wine from old wine skins"? Furthermore, if we are to c...
