I was listening to a message of Johnny James the other day. I believe its title was "Almost Right is Always Wrong". It was preached in the late 80s at Grand Valley Apostolic Temple.
In that message he said that
Malachi 3 was incorrectly applied to the NT church. James asked, who had every received a monetary blessing that they could not contain? No one. He went on to say that Malachi was talking about receiving so much harvest (literal food) that the Isreal nation could not contain it in their barns.
Thus, he said that tithings basis in the NT rested upon the text in Hebrews.
The question that I have for everyone is this:
If we are suppose to tithe under the order of Melkesedek and all believers are priest under the order of Melkesedek should all believers share in the benefits of the tithe?
In Acts they took up money to supply for the widows and orphans. I know that they also took up money so that the Apostles could spend their time in prayer and studying the Word. Nevertheless, it seems that the money of the book of Acts chruch were more distributed than what is distributed today.
