Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

I'm not sure who said anything about Abraham's seed, but Abraham's time was LONG after Noah and the flood.

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

I like the manipulative ploy you use in the above statement. I'd like to use that one too, if I may:

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

I think you're underestimating the extent to which greed has implanted itself into the hearts of men. Many of them don't realize how greedy they are when all they have ever been taught is to follow...

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

And yet there are a plethora of men standing behind pulpits every week, and men spouting on TV every week, about the NT command to tithe. They seem to see the word "tithe" and the address of...

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

Each person must still ask himself: Is what I feel about this truly from the Lord, or is it a result of the mental programming I've sat under for so many years, being told that I MUST tithe, and that...

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

The concept of "first fruit," biblically speaking, refers to an INCREASE from fields, orchards, vineyards, flocks and herds. The word of God at no time ever defined wages as a form of INCREASE.
