Tithes

From the WPF website articles of faith:

'Tithing was not only a tenth of one’s increase, but was also the first tenth of firstfruits. Beginning with the days of Creation, belonging to, and thus being holy unto the Lord, the idea of firstfruits is established from the very beginning. It is seen again in Genesis in Abraham paying tithes to Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 7:4-10). Following this, Jacob also tithed, (Genesis 28:22) as did Israel in tithing to the Levites, (Numbers 18:21,22) and Jesus endorsed it as something which should be routine (Matthew 23:23). Witholding any part of the tithe was to rob God (Malachi 3:8-10). Giving to the Lord is a privilege belonging to his people. The motive for giving is love and an awareness that whatever one possesses, it is in fact, a possession of the Master and that we are merely His stewards. Cheerful giving is the knowledge that God will meet each need. (II Corinthians 9:7)"

I'm not sure I understand the 1st sentence, what is the point here?
I believe in tithing, but should people be ran off or forced out of church for not paying a full 10%.

TITHING

"We believe tithing is God's financial plan to provide for His work, and has been since the days of Abraham. Tithing came with faith under Abraham, Moses' law enjoined it, and Israel practiced it when she was right with God; Jesus indorsed it (Matt. 23:23); and Paul said to lay by in store as God has prospered you. Do not rob God of His portion, viz., tithes and offerings. (Read Mall 3)."

What's Mall 3?

Re: Tithes

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:



Actually, since all Holy Ghost believers are royal priests...the tithe should go to all of us.

Re: Tithes

A ROYAL PRIEST is a priest of a king.....

That means ALL BELIEVERS are individual priests of Jesus, to show forth praises of Him(emulate the King Jesus)

Re: Tithes

They don't have a clue. There are tithing threads on here that should have answers for you.

If it is God's will for your illness then why are you seeking medical attention to get rid of it?
