Re: Tithing, Mandate for the New Testament Church?

How refreshing, someone actually talking scripture.

I love the scriptures, love discussing them. It's the Word that's for ever settled in Heaven.

Yes, I commend HRea.
HRea, doesn't Jacob's statement contradict tithing? Jacob's attitude was "if you bless me, then I'll give."
Genesis 28:20, .... If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment .....

I wish you hadn't added "if you bless me". Tithing, after the way of Abraham and Jacob, is honoring God for what He has given us, substance and increase. I suppose material blessings could be included in that. If God doesn't prosper you, then there is no tithe to be given.
