Tithe was only food in the old testament...the new testament christians gave money freely...not out of compulsion 2nd corinth 9

:) Do you sacrifice sheep? I don't because I'm not a Jew.  Why then would I give 10% of my money to the church? The Old Covenant was fulfilled with Christ, why do you still act as if you need to abide by it? There is a New Covenant for those who are willing to accept it.

That wasnt even funny

What on earth do you think "God" would need or do with your money? Crooked pastors on the other hand have plenty of use for it. Like extension on their house, new cars, family holidays.... stop this fraud. If you want to support your church financially, a small amount of the offering plate is fair enough, but 10% of your income is a false preaching. You cannot buy God's favour with money. Give what you feel comfortable giving to the poor instead.

Matt: 23:23 but this was before Jesus died to fulfill the law.

Galatians 2:16 " yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified"

Galatians 2:21 "I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

GIve! Jesus pd!

John 1:16 "For of his fullness we all received, and grace for grace."

John 1: 17 "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ

Acts 13:39 ..and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.

No 1 is going to take my daily Grace!

Colossians 2 :14 "by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

I think that's what Jesus meant with His "Sermon on the Mount". Jesus didn't say to those who were following the Law "well done, God is please with you". He told them they needed to do more than follow the letter of the Law, they (and we) need to follow the Spirit (which we cannot do).

Only Jesus is capable of following the Law, and through Jesus, we are declared righteous, just as Abraham is (Gen 15:6, Rom 4:3, Gal 3:6, Jas 2:23).

@blueskunk12 I think your right, and the New Covenant (which requires 100% for the kingdom) is much more demanding than 10%.

It's SO wonderful to know that all I need to return to God is a song and an hour of my time each week - at least I think that's what the New Covenant teaches

@vigilantpa1adin

Amen, brother (or sister)!

We have a NEW Covenant with God. It does not depend on our obedience, but on accepting Jesus Christ, who fulfilled all the requirements of the Old Covenant, as no one had ever done (not even Abraham or David).

The Bible teaches that the Tithe was FOOD, to feed for those who could not provide for themselves. That we are not under law, but under grace. We can not do anything to earn God's favor. Saying that we must follow the Law or be cursed is a lie.
