Your tithes were already paid.

Question....if you were in your fathers loins when he received the Holy Ghost does that mean that you have already received the Holy Ghost? If you were in his loins when he was baptized in Jesus Name does that mean that it is no longer a requirement for you?

Rubbish!

This argument is self defeating. First of all, the same question (emboldened above) would have to be asked of the writer who credited Levi for having paid tithes while in Abraham's loins. Thus kclee4jc must reject the writer's assertion.

I ask you, kclee4jc or anyone...why didn't Levi have to pay tithes?

kclee4jc asserts that Abraham's descendants continued to pay tithes. However, from the time Abraham paid tithes to the advent of the Law, only ONE of his descendants is recorded as having paid any tithes, Jacob (and he was never commanded to do so by God and is never recorded as having done so more than once). Thus the argument falls flat. The tithe of the Law was the only instituted tithe ever recorded in the Bible and has vanished by virtue of the fact the covenant it sprang from has been replaced.

Each tribe was given a territory, except the Levites: God was to be their portion. That
is why tithes were offered to the Lord FOR them! It was God's way of providing for the
Tribe of Levi. Additionaly (aside from the tithes), the Levites were given the 6 cities
(of refuge); which were, Kedesh, Shechem, Hebron, Bezer, Romath, and Golan.
