I laugh because you use a tithe rule that came 400years after Abraham has left the earth to jugde his tithe deed to Melchizedek....u dey try o!
Jesus paid tax, because that was the law of the day, then, they were under Roman rule.

I asked you, why didn't Abraham pay tax to King of Sodom? Abi that king no follow for authentic Kings?

YOU HAVE SEEN THE ANSWER THERE, YOU ARE TRYING TO DERAIL MY THREAD, AND DIVERT TO SOMETHING NOT RELATING TO THE BIBLE, YET I ANSWERED.

MAN, CANT TRACE YOUR LINEAGE TO THE JEW, TALKLESS OF THE TRIBE OF LEVI.

BOOK OF MALACHI IS MAINLY FOR THE LEVITES

SEE IT

Malachi 2
New King James Version (NKJV)
Corrupt Priests
MALACHI 2

2 “And now, O priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If you will not hear,
And if you will not take it to heart,
To give glory to My name,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“I will send a curse upon you,
And I will curse your blessings.
Yes, I have cursed them already,
Because you do not take it to heart.

MALACHI 3:6-9 NOTE ..O SONS OF JACOB, JACOB'S OTHER NAME IS ISREAL, HIS SONS FORM THE 12 TRIBES OF ISREAL, AMONG WHOM IS THE LEVI, THE PRIEST,

MALACHI 3:6-9

6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
7 Yet from the days of your fathers
You have gone away from My ordinances
And have not kept them.
Return to Me, and I will return to you,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“But you said,
‘In what way shall we return?’
Do Not Rob God

8 “Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.

LEVITES ARE OFFERING LAME ANIMALS ON THE ALTER,

MALACHI 1

6 “A son honors his father,
And a servant his master.
If then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the Lord of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’
7 “You offer defiled food on My altar,
But say,
‘In what way have we defiled You?’
By saying,
‘The table of the Lord is contemptible.’
8 And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
Is it not evil?
And when you offer the lame and sick,
Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he accept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts
.

Gombs: Why are you even asking me whether I'm a Jew or a levite?

BECAUSE YOU SAID

We are the refined Priests......

And see that it says, that He will accept the offerings of the people of Judah and Jerusalem ONCE AGAIN as he did in the past


Told you I tithe in the faith of Abraham, is Abraham a Jew or Mechizedek a levite?

DID JUDAH TITHE TO ABRAHAM, YET YOU TITHE IN THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM, BUT YOU STILL TALK ABOUT JUDAH THAT TITHE UNDER LAW, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN JUDAH WILL TITHE AGAIN , YOU STILL USE MALACHI TALKING ABOUT TITHING UNDER LAW TO SUPPORT YOU CLAIMS, CAN YOU SEE THE HYPOCRISY grin

You obviously have dyslexia!


Pls quote me where I said Judah tithed to Abraham o!

I'd advice you go and read CAREFULLY what I typed in Page 0

Notice this line

And see that it says (Mal 3v4), that He will accept the offerings of the people of Judah and Jerusalem ONCE AGAIN as he did in the past.

Question is...why Judah? Why Jerusalem?

The offerings in the latter days will be similar to those when the temple was first built.


Pls show how the above means Judah paid tithes to Abraham!

Na wa o! Judah came into the gist because Jesus is from that tribe o! He is the New priest of the order of Melchizedek from Judah!

Where did say all you typed abv?

Gues you are outta what to say, now you manufacture what to discuss and frame the other person.

I'm done with you, till you put up a worthy question that has not been answered on this thread.

You can't simply answer whether we get new crude oil from refined crude oil.

@ Gombs,

How did Christians be 'priests and kings' in the new testament and how were the priesthood of old testament came to be?
Re: (law) Levites Have Commandment To Receive Tithe, Pastors Tday Were Not Commanded by guiddoti: 2:30pm On Nov 17, 2013
Goshen360:

1. Pastors too are full time and some are not BUT have other source of income, doesn't that mean they already have source of income as an inheritance? They should not collect tithe if they have other source of income, the ones who are full time with no source of income should go get one, there's nothing like full time pastor in the new testament. If you found any apostle in full time, show it from scriptures.

2. Tithing had been abolished in the new testament. I'm working on an article to that effect. You have to know what it is in order to know it is abolished. It is an ORDINANCE, A COMMANDMENT and so, it the law of ordinance is disannulled, or the commandment abolished, the question will be, does it include tithe or not?

3. Malachi wasn't written to Christians. The storehouse is not the church neither is devourer devil, devourer is nothing but ant eating insects that devours the farm plants and crops for better harvest. God was dealing with only Jews in Malachi, not the church. Besides, Christ had redeemed from the curses of the law and being made a curse for us.
I'm not here to debate on this issue. I will try and answer your questions
1. Tithing is a commandment with promise. And, if a pastor is not a full time, and has other income, the best scene for him, is to completely use the money for gospel activities without taken a penny, in as much as the pastor has income. It may interest you to know that pastors also pay tithes. So, the money must be wisely used. Pastors will give an account of it on the day of judgement. All the apostles are full time workers. Peter was a fisherman when Jesus called him. Peter never went back fishing.
2. Tithing was never abolished. What was abolished, is just killing of animals, for remission of sin. Jesus came to add to the laws.
3. Who was the bible written to? All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God(christian) may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Bible is symbolic. I had earlier said that the people at that time are majorly farmers. So, what can farmer bring if not crops. Try and understand how bible uses words. Jesus spoke in parables.
My prayers always are: Lord make your word simple before my eyes. Lord make me see sin the way you see it. Thank You.

God who gave tithing as commandment specified the content and who gets what. Do you know that even Moses doesn't have the right to collect tithes and yet, through him the commandment to collect tithe was given. The commanded tithe is given specifically to Levi tribe, heb 7:3-5. If God transferred this commandments to another tribe like the Yoruba and igbo tribe, you free to show us from the word.

2. Oh, only when it comes to money is tithe not part of dispensation of the law we no longer under right? And where on earth. did you get the assertion that Christ came to add to the law and give us more laws? This is the greatest jokes I ever heard on this forum. You can't be serious mehn.

3. The bible is God inspiration but same God work in dispensation. Hebrews 1:1-2. God used to operate through the fathers or patriarch but NOW, through Christ. Not all inspired words in the bible applies to CHRISTIANS.

Obviously you are new here and judging from your posts you know very little about tithes and your knowledge about it is probably limited to Malachi 3:8-10 and it's popular twisted interpretation. Whilst i would not try to convince you to change your position on the subject matter, i would seek to provide you with additional information on it so that you can at least have a more informed opinion. For starters i would want you to read the passage below and compare the definition and practise ordained by God there to the charade done it the name of tithing now.

Deuteronomy 14:22-29

New International Version (NIV)
Tithes

22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Dear Barrister, what do you say about this portion of the Bible in Galatians 3:29,

"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heir according to the promise."

We talk about tithing and you guys brought the question of genealogy, do you not know of the priesthood that's in Christ Jesus?

Who do you think God was talking to when He said throught the psalmist in Psalm 110:4 that,

"The Lord hath sworn and will not repent, thou hath a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

Jesus the Christ doesn't came to die for the Jew alone; For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him should not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE. (John 3:16). In christianity there's neither Jew nor Greek. The earlier you accept this the better!

Bros, i chose to b passive because u mentioning dt Mal 3 referred to New Creation is not sincere enough and it is a failed argument. But whr i can cross wit u is u mentioning u tithe in faith lik Abraham. I ve asked u over and over whr its recorded dt Abraham payed tithe in faith? U said He did all in faith except marrying another wife. Thats a blanket and untrue statement.

A good study will show u dt Abraham walked in doubt, walked in fear several times and had to b reassured by God from time to time. He isnt a superman but a man of like passion as we are.

Lik i hav told u earlier, Abraham givin to Melchisedek is not a demonstration of faith/doubt but of honour. If d lesser is blessed by d greater, d greater ought to be honored by d lesser not in faith but in appreciation. Its so clear dt Abraham wasnt expectin 2reciev because of d tenth but he gav (honored him) because he s already blessed.

I really dont push 4u to swallow my stand but i asked u do more study wit a sincere heart to see givin as demonstrated in God, in Christ, in early Church. Ds ar who we should imitate in our giving.

LISTEN, only faith connects a believer to Abraham THROUGH CHRIST and nothing more. Abraham is a two-fold man, a patriarch of Jewish nation and father (spiritual) of us who are of faith.

If you teaching Abraham as Christian example OTHER THAN FAITH CONNECTION THROUGH SEED OF CHRIST, you teach we should also do some crazy stuffs Abraham did.

Evidently tithe advocates on this forum are only grasping at straws to justify their illicit trade since the Law Malachi 3:8 argument has been completely demolished and proven to contradict the grace gospel of our lord Jesus christ. As far as I am concerned using the Abraham one off tithes as example to justify tithing taught in churches today is even more ridiculous and contradictory than using the twisted Malachi scripture. And the fact that they have to lie that Abraham tithed by faith even though it is suggested no where in scripture proves to me that they know the truth but they lack the grace to let go off this filthy lucre they have come to covet so much.

What kind of deception is that, THAT SAME PERSON DIDN'T HAVE CHOICE TO GIVE TITHE BUT HAVE CHOICE TO GIVE THE REST 90% FROM SAME ITEMS RECOVERED FROM WAR?

Re: (law) Levites Have Commandment To Receive Tithe, Pastors Tday Were Not Commanded by Gombs(m): 4:33pm On Nov 17, 2013
Goshen360: @ Gombs,

How did Christians be 'priests and kings' in the new testament and how were the priesthood of old testament came to be?


Exodus 19:6
King James Version (KJV)
And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation [consecrated, set apart to the worship of God]. These are the words you shall speak to the Israelites.


From the above, the hebrew manuscript has it as...a Royal-priesthood, folks who did the interpretation dint understand how to put it. A kingdom of priest sounded better

These are the words God told Moses to tell the israelites. They were the first church that failed, the couldn't obey what God said. Moses' numerous Laws were not helping too.
In verse 5, God told them if they will OBEY His voice in truth and keep His covenant then...(Just go read it, plz)

Now Jesus came to the scene and bailed out the old church. The old Church spent 40yrs in the wilderness, Jesus came and replaced it. He did a day representing a year in the wilderness for 40days. He fulfilled that which the old church couldn't do. He then made it possible for all who believes in him to be part of the above verse.

He then begat us of His word, 1peter 1v23. That's why
We Christians are not called to Obey the word as the old church was to, but to DO it. The israelites were called to obey, but failed. Jesus bailed out that Church, and begat us of his Word. Now, obeying the word is diff from doing it. We are of the Word, we act like the word is and what it says. Obeying the word is doing a stipulated laid down laws or rule.

After Jesus did that, it was then necessary to have.a new priest who doesn't die, who lives forever. The Levites couldn't. Jesus became our high priest of that order of priesthood that abides for ever.

we became same as Jesus is. 1John 4v17. A Royal Priest, same as Melchizedek is. And there is a reason why we are a King-Priest

Peter by the Holy Spirit said same, and gave the same reason as Ex 19v6 gave...as why we are King-Priests

1 Peter 2:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;



And John was revealed same in Rev 1v6.

Jesus Paid it all, God revived the church of old, started it again in Jesus, with a better covenant (that was able to save man) a new Priest who abides forever, a diff priesthood, and ALL is done in spirit and truth. No wonder Jesus said God seeks those who will worship him in Spirit and truth (remember Ex 19v5) ....God achieved ALL this in Jesus. The new creation folks are not called the Obey, We are the fruit of Christ's obedience towards the cross. We were built of the word. We are to act as the word is ie DO IT


As for your latter question, that has been discussed here thousands of times

Didn't you see that Conjecture in bold?
'And' means "in addition to" or "together with"

thing to have and function in his blessings (the
promise)

function in prosperity, or divine health or any
such...you have to work your self to that promise.

You have to talk it

trying to be rich, he is the rich discovering (his
inheritance) how rich he actually is. Many don't
discover it tho.

That's why Luke wrote this words below


Acts 20:32
Amplified Bible (AMP)
32 And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I
deposit
you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection
and
care]. And I commend you to the Word of His grace
[to the commands and counsels and promises of His
unmerited favor]. It is able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among all God’s
set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and
transformed of soul).


The bible used 'And' not 'Thus' or 'hence'

I've told you that when ever you are studying( I'm
really doubting you do), be mindful of the tenses and
words used.

Re: (law) Levites Have Commandment To Receive Tithe, Pastors Tday Were Not Commanded by Gombs(m): 5:05pm On Nov 17, 2013

As if you people who advocate tithe have not been shooting yourselves in the leg too.

Imagine someone like Gombs saying Christians should follow Abraham tithing example. Someone went to war and he didn't give tithe BY CHOICE and you telling us giving the rest 90% is by CHOICE because it is freewill.

What kind of deception is that, THAT SAME PERSON DIDN'T HAVE CHOICE TO GIVE TITHE BUT HAVE CHOICE TO GIVE THE REST 90% FROM SAME ITEMS RECOVERED FROM WAR?

What made 90% a choice but doesn't make 10% choice?


grin
You can't even give 10% sef, why worry about the remaining 90%?

Why didn't Abraham give 50% why did moses after 400years did not say 5% or 2%...but 10%?

You just writing much irrelevant stuffs without saying nothing. I am not the one that said the remaining 90% cannot be given because it's FREEWILL and I'm challenging what make 90% freewill but 10% is not since Abraham got the whole 100% from spoils of war, not his earned income.

That's what I need you to explain and stop playing intelligent here

The heresy of the institutionalized church is giving must be brought to the church. I do not have to boast about my giving as it were but my giving to people in a month after my monthly expenses is more than 10% so you just making uncertain assertion up there. Explain what you needed to explain please, how 90% is by CHOICE but 10% is not.
