They weren't to muzzle the oxen that tread the wheat. While they were to preach the word without charge, they expected to live from the Gospel. Why because God ordered that they who preached the Gospel should live from the Gospel. Paul's doctrine? Yeah, Paul's doctrine is this, support the one who teaches you by sharing all you have Galatians 6:6. So much for the TITHE.
There were a number of different tithes, they were conducted by all different groups. From Egyptians to Romans. Everyone knew that they were to support their "priesthood." Melchizedek wasn't an anomaly, it was a given, which thousands of years later in Rome the Romans were doing the same thing n their main temple of Rome.
So, please, refresh my memory on how it looks when you do it at the church where you attend. How do you support the minister[s]?
Do you tithe?
Do you give a dollar a month?
Please, spoon feed. |
Brother, I am somewhat confused. Yesterday you didn't believe in tithes, and as I have learned, you will be truthful if you are pinned down on it. I admire that btw.
Allow me to refresh your memory, I give however I feel it on my heart to give. How much I have been prospered is part of the consideration process. I have given what some would consider quite a bit at times, other times not so much. I do not tithe. Tithing is not for the New Testament. I think we agree on this. Sometimes you seem to be a little cranky, even about things we agree on.
Oh, were you wanting me to share with you the a dollar amount I give? or a percentage?
Is that what you wanted?
Too bad.
BTW. How am I doing on my posting?
Do you approve?
