Tithing…Is it a command?

[The Lemon]

I have been reading this post this morning and I just want to say that there is no need for personal attacks on here. Glory Seeker and Not For Sale have a right to express their views without someone railing on them.

I am not in total agreement with all that has been said on this topic, however, I know for sure that Not For Sale is a pastor, a man of God who is doing his best for God - I am sure that Glory Seeker is as well.

I think it is healthy to debate and talk about scripture to seek out truth from the Word of God. It is counter productive to make personal attacks on people that we do not know on a personal level. Also, I would be very careful slamming any man of God who is trying to lead the flock. I realize there are disagreements with those who promote pay the Tithe or go to Hell...but unless I missed something, I have not seen those words promoted by these brethren.

If those of us that do not believe that not paying Tithes will not put us in Hell, then we also can not then say that they are leading the flock to Hell for preaching the Tithe....unless they do some serious perverting and admit to believing that you can buy your way into Heaven.

At any rate, I do not want to see either side of this issue become personal insults that foster no edification at all. We can disagree without running people off. I have said this before....we need to have a balance.

I am not trying to appear hypocritical, just trying to keep this from falling off the cliff.
