Scripture is taken out of context to scare and threaten the listener. Giving to God has to do with taking care of your family first and then those in the Body of Christ. The ones who truly need help.<BR/><BR/>There is no command to use the tithing principle to say we are giving to Jesus. Money was not used as a tithe under the Law. Only food items were accepted.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001808453367943028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021356.post-9488410459207831842008-03-28T10:43:00.000-05:002008-03-28T10:43:00.000-05:00abmo,I'm not worried about tithing per se, just th...abmo,<BR/>I'm not worried about tithing per se, just the structure of it, what it is, what it is perceived as, <I>what it should be.</I> You are correct about holding nothing back. I'm just trying to get a handle on how it plays out in real life.<BR/>Thanks for stopping by!gerbmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334242165831708434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021356.post-78555202134104126792008-03-28T08:58:00.000-05:002008-03-28T08:58:00.000-05:00Hi,this is my opinion and could be wrong :)Please ...Hi,<BR/><BR/>this is my opinion and could be wrong :)<BR/><BR/>Please do not worry about tithing. Give all you have away and your problem is solved. And with, giving it all away, I mean give everything to Jesus. <BR/><BR/>Now that you don't own anything, you don't have to worry about 10% :) Have a nice day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021356.post-27851864192861293892008-03-27T15:05:00.000-05:002008-03-27T15:05:00.000-05:00Tithing under the law of Moses (an expired covenan...Tithing under the law of Moses (an expired covenant God had with Israel)had to with food items. A person tithed at harvest. God had a list of things to tithe. One only tithed on an increase. The tither ate the tithe in celebration and shared with poor and Levites.<BR/><BR/>There is no command to tithe anything for the New Testament church. The church is the Body of Christ--not a building.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001808453367943028noreply@blogger.com
