Do we have to pay tithes?

That probably is not what you had in mind. EB, you believe that I don't understand tithe very well. I get that. But I may understand tithing better than you think.

Remember when you thought that we were exaggerating when we said that pastors were preaching tithing or hell? You discovered that we were truthful about that, didn't you? I realize that you have been sheltered from this doctrine of tithe or hell. It doesn't mean it didn't exist, simply because you hadn't heard of it, does it?

People think that the doctrine of tithing is what it has been for thousands of years. Why do they think that? Because they don't know. The practice of tithing money instead of agricultural products is less than two hundred years old according to what I have studied. People that know that the tithe was reinstated in the sixth century, mostly assume that it was reinstated as money. It wasn't. It was reinstated as agricultural products. The problem with what you don't know is, that you don't know what you don't know.

Tithing is assumed to be what it is and that it will not change. I have found that this is not true. Instead I have found that tithing has been in a constant state of change for about fifteen hundred years.

So when you ask me if I know what it means when people don't even realize that the tithe is ten percent, to me it means that the false doctrine of tithing where you are is not as mature as it is in other areas.

What does it mean to you?

No one said you tithe or go to hell. That's not what he said bro. He said 1+1=2, which he is not wrong about. Because if 1+1=2 in the context and light of the scripture I've stated over and over again, it could be a salvational issue. In light of that. Not because you didn't pay your tithes! Because God said it was robbing and stealing from Him, and you are not doing it, then that is fair to say you are stealing for the scripture says the samething, and the scripture says where thieves and robbers end up.

Personally I see that as the samething. Anything that's Holy unto God is and always is. Holy is God's nature. Its semantics to sit here and talk about what was given. But a principal was given, take care of the ministry. I do that through faith, because I see that in history it displeased Him so that He said the whole nation was robbing Him.

If the scripture can't be unbroken, and we hold all scripture as inspired by God, I take that as moral law bro. I learned of what God liked and despised there. I will do it regardless, because I like being a co laborer with the Lord. He knows He can trust me with my finances.

You guys are twisting what he said. As well as bending the scripture, to mean what you want it to mean. Ijs. I presented proof and all I heard was this context this, and this context that. When I made a point you went quiet. Most ultimately it's up to you tithes are a personal thing between you and God. So I'll let Him judge. But there's much more scripture concerning what I'm saying then the opposite way. I'll leave it at that though. Because there is nothing you can present to me. All you can present is opinions. That's not a leg to stand on. Approval of others may make you feel ok, unless the ones approving are also wrong too.
