If I might humbly submit this...
In Genesis 28:20-22, Jacob vows a vow of honor to God, establishing a tithing covenant, to give the tenth of all that God will give him.
The way I believe NT tithing is that it is not based on Levitical Law, but given in honor as God has prospered a believer. Established by Abraham and Jacob, under the Melchisedec Order, not the Levitical Priesthood, given and not paid.

How refreshing, someone actually talking scripture.

Well, that's the issue. There's nor NT tithing madated within the NT. I do believe that one must give cheerfully (whatever one gives -money included), as Paul states.

So, we should go through the Gospels and seek to understand Christ's commandments. We also need to rightly divide the Word of Truth where Christ speaks of obeying the Law and the Pharisees, etc. Christ was a teacher of the Law under the Law. Paul readily expounds upon the principles of a NT believer and our no longer being bound by the Law.
Re: Tithing, Mandate for the New Testament Church?
You guys have lost and you know it.The fallacy of your deception has been proven over and over and it now we are just like throwing pearls in a hogs pen.
You guys challenged everyone on this forum with your little ANTI-TITHE platform and now you cannot give ONE scripture - NOT ONE that says anything about the TITHE being abolished or THOU SHALT NOT TITHE or that the TITHE was done away with or DON'T TITHE! NOT ONE scripture to substantiate your absurd claims.
Then you get on here and sling mud and insult people because they are not as gullible and deceived as you! It is pure stupidity & I for one am sick of your insulting my intelligence!
You are WRONG - DEAD WRONG! You lost your challenge and now your mad about it and you want to keep it all going and keep challenging us to engage us just to get your deception out.
Why would Aquila ask about someone losing his salvation by not tithing when he goes to a "Southern Baptist Church" that its core doctrine is UNCONDITIONAL ETERNAL SECURITY? You guys are just WAY OFF and you know it.
You have come way too late to convince people with brains of your Once Saved, Always Saved, Calvanistic and NON-TITHE deceptions!

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 .....

Sigh.

If one's salvation isn't based on that interpretation of a principle, I see nothing seriously wrong with it. I just stand against being brought under law.
