I have clearly stated previously the following in another thread:


The issue at hand is not giving as one friend here quoted:
It seems to my unlearned mind that you are talking out of both sides of your mouth. I have more questions, and I intend them to be conveyed in a friendly and curious manner, even though I rely too heavily on sarcasm at times.

In addition, you have exhumed the well-beaten, dead, buried, exhumed by torchlight, and beaten-again argument against teaching tithing as mandatory and/or salvational. For all intents and purposes on this board, this argument is a straw man.

Neither of us is making a statement for it, so there is no reason to refute it. Again.

What, specifically, are you saying Brother Epley does not have a bible basis for?

The way he has set up his church accounting?

The NT bible verses he quoted do support the principle.

Are you arguing against Abraham's tithes to Melchizedek being a valid precedent?

If the principles and allegories found in the OT aren't valid, beneficial, or instructional for this dispensation, why don't we rip out the entire OT and lighten our load?

I am trying to understand your position. But responding to things I didn't say aren't helpful.
