Deep Apostolic Teachers?

[good samaritan]

I have already been through this on another thread with Bro. Jason and I have revised my teaching on the issue although I still faithfully tithe. I believe we should show how they were commanded under the law to tithe of their increase of the land which was their lively hood. They were also commanded that every first born of man and beast were the Lord's and both these teachings preceded the law, but was not commanded until the law.

That being said Wouldn't it be a good place to start with your giving the first ten percent. It shows that you honor God and give Him thanks, and it also demonstrates trust that He is your provider. I don't begin to say that it is commanded under the New Testament because it isn't. I can teach generous giving throughout the New Testament without mentioning tithing.

I am concerned for those who are financially blessed but don't give minimum of ten percent. According to New Testament teaching where much is given much is required. If the Lord has blessed you abundantly than you should bless abundantly. Even the poor can give something and in the end God will judge whether or not we were led by His Spirit.

Tithing is a good example in the Bible that may be more important than what many here know. Although for lack of explicitness on it in the New Testament I will be careful how I teach it. I hope all of the opposition are motivated by biblical accuracy and not greed or animosity against the ministry that God has called.

I am not under the law but am led of the Spirit which I feel keeps the heart of the law only with a different perception. The law tells me not to kill but the Holy Ghost tells me to love which would keep me from murder and even speaking a word against. The law told me to tithe because it was God's way of supporting the poor and the old testament ministry, but the Holy Ghost tells me that I must support the ministry of the church today and be giver to those in need.(I feel like if anyone does that it will come out more than ten percent, but for sake of biblical correctness I won't say anyone must pay a ten percent minimum.) You can think about that and do what God's Spirit leads you to.

P.S. the key to being financially blessed is good stewardship and God. It takes both.
