Re: A thought on tithing
The tithe was an agrarian land tax in ancient Israel to support the Levites. Christians didn't "tithe" in the NT. They gave as they felt led to give to meet needs. Many gave EVERYTHING for the Lord's work in the beginning. After that people began to give as they had purposed in their hearts. And yes, full time workers in the Gospel were supported. But remember, that would be supplies, clothing, travel (perhaps a horse), etc. They didn't sit pretty in a nice cushy chair on a platform receiving tithe check$ from the congregation.
