I have heard that point made by many christians. i grew up in a church that used the Old Testament Law to support tithing for the Body of Christ. The funny thing is these christians ignore the fact that abraham was circumcised before the law was given. According to this method of interpretation ("choosing what seems good"), at the extreme, someone might say, "i'm to leave my country because God told abram to do that." It is clear that God told abram to do that. So are we to do everything that God told abraham to do? Of course not. So I would ask a question of those who use Scripture in this way. They pick and choose what they want, as long as it fits their theology. That is why I said in another post," what parts of the law do these christians choose to follow and what parts do they choose to ignore." May God give all of us christians more understanding of His grace! Col 1:9  For this reason we also, from the day we heard of your faith and love , do not cease praying and asking for you, so that you will be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,  10  so as to walk worthy of the Lord unto everything well-pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing by the true knowledge of God;  11 being strengthened with all power according to the might of his glory resulting in all endurance and patience  12  with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made us acceptable to share in the portion of the saints in the light.  Post Reply

If s man doesn't want to tithed it's a Choice. As I previously stated . Notr You cannot be God given. Post Reply
