Tally these over the three year period,and then 'TITHE' from this,so that the Levites,orphans,widows,and strangers;can have to live from.
Oh,NO Levites,to bad,then give that tithe to me,hahahahaha
Deu 14:28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
Deu 14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
Now do you understand the necessity of trusting Yeshua to being your 'TITHE' before YHWH / ABBA.
Ten percent is ten percent and I dont have anything except the little bit I make at grocery outlet, so I dont know what you are refering to, I tithe every week exactly ten percent of my check anything else I may make is I clean a house or the little I get for cleaning the church twice a month I also give 10 percent, so yes everything, even the child support I hardly ever get thats not more that 12 dollars..
I know God sees all, I am not legalistic, and God knows my heart and tyhat it is my intention to tithe 10& of everything, so if I missed something he will reveal it to me and forgive me.
and reagaurdless of what you say 10% is 10% every week or every 3 years its still 10% what are you even talking about, and to me its obvious what this scripture is saying, you are trying to make that an in addition to when it is not.
It intructions for these people to tithe and everyone is suposed to tithe, you just want to get out of it somehow.
Its ok with me if you dont, take it up with the Lord
I would ask do you tithe of 'EVERYTHING' according to this Scripture. Or do you pick and choose what to tithe of.
*** :laugh:...Why do you care SO much what she or anyone here tithes and how much George ???...Why is it necessary for her or anyone to Explain to you their reasons when they already have and you just dont like em ???...I believe ya just like ta be Telling Everyone HOW to Do and HOW Not to DO...and thats no question...but ya can go figer ifin ya like...:bouncy:...Be Blessed...xo
What and how we Tithe is between that individual and the Lord God. God sees the heart of man, and what we think another should do or not do is not up to Us but God.
Jews were to give 10% of their income to the Levitical priesthood.
Jews were to also give 10% for their festivals.
And every three years they were to give 10%(of that year's income) for widows and orphans.
There were also a couple other areas they were to give in like not harvesting the corners of their fields so the poor could have it.
If you want to tithe biblically, that would put you at around 23-24%.
Freewill giving has always been God's plan.
Ex 25:1-2 "The Lord said to Moses "Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give""
Ex 35: 4-5..."Moses said to the whole Israelite community, "This is what the Lord has commanded: From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver,......."".
Prov 3:9 "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops."
Freewill giving is not to be confused with tithing, which related to the national taxation system of Israel and is paralleled in the NT and the present by paying taxes.
Matt 22:21 "...Give to Caesar's what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."
Rom 13: 6-7 "This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe them....."
You are right that God certainly knows the hearts of men. Giving has always been freely, sacrificially, and with intentions of Glorifying God.
There's certainly nothing wrong with giving 10% every week if that meets the other criteria, but if it doesn't, then you're not giving from the heart.
Because we don't live in a Theocracy, we are not NT obliged to give 10% because priests don't run our nation. The government does and we give them what they ask for with a cheerful heart as well knowing they are ordained of God.
NT believers gave sacrificially and from the heart to support each other(the Church). 10% may be a good place to start nowadays if again it is done cheerfully and sacrificially. For some 10% is pocket change and certainly would not be sacrificial. For others, it is too much and would require them not to pay their bills and obligations to their family which is of chief importance.
It is all about the heart and our intentions in this day of grace and praise the Lord for that!
P.S. to
To think that the Church can magically pay their bills without our full financial support is foolishness. We should all strive to give over and above for His kingdom and His glory:)
We are obligated if to tithe if we are of the family of God, but it seems as so many miss why we are to tithe, when you try and change things from covenant to covenant, by your words and actions you are trying to change God and he does not Change.
Here is a simple Question what was Adam First sin in the Garden?
Lev 27:26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD�S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD�S.
Lev 27:27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
Lev 27:28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
Lev 27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD�S: it is holy unto the LORD.
Lev 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
Lev 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
Lev 27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
Because we don't live in a Theocracy, we are not NT obliged to give 10% because priests don't run our nation. The government does and we give them what they ask for with a cheerful heart as well knowing they are ordained of God.
Who do we tithe to?
If we do not tithe is there any such thing as an offerin?
@ Passdover, just becasue we cant attain to the law does not mean we are to ignore it. Jesus plainly said "I did not come to abolish the law" I made a post about covenants that I thought was truthful and interesting, I also looked up for myself in strongs some of the stuff in the article.
We are not exempt from the law as you think, Gods grace has boundries we are not just under his grace no matter what.
We are suposed to tithe, but more than that we are suposed to want to tithe ans do anything else the He wants us to do.
