Greetings,
Can you consider this? Tithing had to be reastablished twice in the scrpitures... Are you going to teach people that they can buy back there tithe as the scriptures say? There is a difference between tithing and giving. We don't trust in God enough to realize that He will keep His promise to take care of His children as a real Father does.
Here are scripture for you to consider to read:
Lev 27:30-34 It says you can buy back your tithe
2Chron 31: the entire chapt. It tells you of how Hezekiah had to start the people of God to tithe again because there was no temple or Levitical priest to take it.
Nehemiah 10: 28-39 It tells you that Nehemiah had to do the same as Hezekiah
Hewbrews 7: the entire chapt. God tells that if the is a change in the High Priest, then there must be a change in the Law. The scripture talks about tithing. It tells you about Melchizedek taking a tithe and Jesus didn't because of the tribe He is from.
Please consider this, only Aaron and his son's and the Levites were able to take offerings and TITHES. You will not find another person who God permitted to take a Tithe. We have to stop teaching people the wrong things of the people to fund OUR visions. Trust in God and let Him do His work through us and not our work through Him.
God Bless

SIS ANNA I'LL HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU,THERE ARE LEVITES IN TODAY'S CHURCHES.
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO GET YOU INFO RIGHT KNOW BUT I WILL LATER.IN THE MEAN WHILE YOU CAN DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SUBJECT

My brother, when I search the scriptures, I find that the "tithe" was due to the Levite, widows, orphans and stranger.
Num.18
[24] But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance
Since there are no Levites in the churches today, so how can they justify asking for people to tithe to them?
