Moderators Gerr Posted November 30, 2012 Moderators Posted November 30, 2012 ESV Dt 14:22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the LORD your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always. 24And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the LORD your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the LORD your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the LORD your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household. Quote
Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted December 1, 2012 Administrators Posted December 1, 2012 I have referred to this text as an example of how far toward being too restrictive with our use of tithe we have become... This is Biblical! Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)
BobRyan Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 We apparently have more people whose tithe is too heavy - and thus they are unable to carry the tithe to church - than I at first suspected. Who knew?? Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
Woody Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 1st tithe or 2nd tithe? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
