  • @scnelson5943

    Tithing was under the ‘law’ which we are no longer under. It amazes me that pastors today like to use the old tithing law however they want to pick and choose what they want from that law and not encompass all of the law. Under the new covenant we are to live and live generously. Give with a joyful heart.

    The Lord is talking in the context of the old or first testament. The new testament is instituted in the institution of the new covenant which is the last supper. So no, the new testament does not teach the tithe. However, the Bible does say to give sacrificially. Which sometimes is more than ten percent. But no congregation has the authority to obligate this

    One Old testament tithing was used to maintain the temple priesthood. Under the new covenant we are ALL Royal Priests and if we have needs then this is met vis the apostles doctrine as demonstrated in acts2v43-47 and acts4v32-37. You will not find a single believer tithing or teaching about tthing including Jesus and the apostles. There is zero requirement for any new testament believer in Jesus to give a tithe of money to a church period. It's simply a method of extorting money. Paul's offering for Jerusalem is simply the apostles doctrine in action.

    @markb7067 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks for sharing the discussion. A few other thoughts: Money isn't the root of all evil. It's only a man-made tool. Placing a focus on it above God's tenets is wrong. Neither God nor Jesus ever asked anyone for their money and there's no biblical precedent for tithing from earned wages. Not New Testament, or Old. Jesus mentioned money to relate to those he was speaking, not as instructional on what to do with their money. He only emphasized giving to the poor. But yes, we should support the church we attend as well as ministries and other charities as we feel led and are able. There's nothing wrong with choosing to tithe, money or otherwise, to a church or otherwise, but there's nothing biblically binding on anyone today to continually pay 10% of your earnings to a religious institution, and there never was. We're free to give, not bound to pay.

    So you are telling your church how to vote? Disgusting! You are using your platform to tell people that Kamala is not a Christian?! You are spreading misinformation by repeating that KH told people that they were at the wrong rally! That is NOT what she said! Tell the full story and not the soundbite edited to make her look like a Godless woman. What is wrong with you!! Trump uses the Bible when it is convenient for him! You are wrong to use your platform in this manner. Preachers like you are the reason many have moved away from the church. Your voice should have been used to tell people to do their research before voting. You role is to preach the word of God and not hide behind God to make a candidate look bad. You are a disgusting and vile man for this sermon. You are part of the problem! As a Christian, I know that you used scripture to incite fear. Your endorsement of an adulterer, racist and fake Christian from the pulpit is beyond the pale. You lost the respect of some members Sunday morning. We want a teacher of the gospel and not your political views. You do not belong in the pulpit!
