Do we have to pay tithes?

When Leviticus 27 was given they lived where?

You go get'em!

Sic'em boy!

Sic'em, sic'em!

Which is pointless, I've already been to this point a couple times...

I know, it can be frustrating when someone rightly divides the Word, and it doesn't fit with your preconceived notions. I understand. I once believed that tithe was money too.

I believe you here. However, is the Bible right? Or are the churches right? Because they do not define tithing the same way.

Bible study it out chapter and verse for all. I'm not just talking about the tithing, but I also mean the tithing.

The tithe was of the increase of the seed of the land, and the increase of the flocks and herds. Do you see that?

Now . . . What have you almost certainly never tithed of?
The increase of the seed of the land and the flocks and herds? . . .

of the land that God promised to the Israelites?

Lol I see you are justifying what you said, but not answering what I asked. When Leviticus 27 was written where did the Israelites live?

EB, don't be shy. Please (once more) share your view of what the Bible declares tithing to be. I know you get it, but some may think you don't.

I do this every time I get paid. That's how my seed is increased. That's the increasing of my seed. Though I am not a rancher, or farmer.

Oh, sorry!

When Leviticus was written? Or when it was written about, they were in the desert. They had not yet entered the promised land.

Your right, in the desert. So tell me where was the increase of trade and money supposed to come from? When they all had everything in common? There is only two places they could get increase from, the livestock, and the agriculture.
Which meant it encompassed everything. That's like saying Deuteronomy 22:5 didn't say women can't wear pants. Pants as pants didn't exist then. There was "breeches" which Exodus 28:42 speaks of "And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach." But we see anything that's in the style of "breeches" were intended for who? Aaron's son's. Meaning they were made intended for men. So while Deuteronomy 22:5 doesn't say that women shouldn't wear pants, it does say they shouldn't wear that which pertains to a man. Samething here, because there was no trade system in the desert with outside nations considering they had no marketplace. That's why you don't see money listed. At that time this was written there was no marketplace so it wasn't applicable.
