Greetings Brother Shaw,
to if we are to tithe or not. The letter of the law is what we follow. You have to read Hebrews 7. Brother believe me when I tell you this, There isn't one scripture....NOT ONE that tells us to tithe money. In fact, if you read Deut. 14:22-29, it will clearly show you that tithing isn't money. But I have some questions for you. You say that we have to obey God's every word...then why do you disobey Him? What I mean by that is...If God told us where to take the tithe, Who to give it too, how to tithe, when to tithe and what the tithe is to be....why are we changing it? To me that is being disobedient.
God Bless

The scriptures are the sourcre of our teaching and doctrines. The Bereans "searched the scriptures" to see if what Paul told them was so.
The scriptures tell us that tithes were for the Levite, who were blessed by YHWH through their obedience at the incident of the Golden Calf, and ONLY those of that line have a right to the tithe, don't you agree?
Remember we are forbidden to add words to YHWH's mouth. If he didn't ordain it, what right do we have to suggest it? Jesus should be our example, don't you think?
The Storehouse orf Malachi 3, is not every store front church in every corner throughout the world. The storehouse referred to in Malachi was the temple in Jerusalem. How do you interpret the "storehouse"?
The term in Malachi 3 for MEAT, is FOOD, when you check the Hebrew. The tithes were agricultural products and domestic animals. We have no right to teach that tithes were money.
Do you see anywhere in the Bible that the TITHES were required of the laborer, or even the fisherman?

That is a good question! I don't ask for a tithe I only say if the Holy Spirit put it in your heart then give an offering! If He didn't tell you to give it I say don't do it! The Holy Spirit knows best!

Bro Terrance:
Here is the definition of a Levite:
levite:
a member of the Hebrew tribe of Levi (especially the branch that provided male assistants to the temple priests)
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
Remember the Levite Priests had to be able to show their genealogies to PROVE that they were of the Lineage of this Hebrew Tribe.
Can you give me the names & contacts of a few of these Levites that you know, I'd love to contact them.
Also, the reason Jesus did not ask anyone for a TITHE was because He was not a Levite. It would have been unlawful for Him to ask for a tithe because of that.
So why do pastors today ask for a tithe when Jesus nor any of His apostles asked for tithes?
-

Tithing and giving are to be done as your giving to God! That is the only point I will ever say!

what do you mean Apostle?

That is the whole point of these lessons! So if you didn't get you are to trust God to keep His word, then I'm not sure of what you will get of out of any thing God give me! However, this is to show people the back ground and to up root the teaching that has been going on for so long and putting God’s people in bondage!! Like Lonnie said, you have to trust God, that is the whole point of any and ever lesson I will ever do! Sorry if you don't get that! God bless to you all!
