So, if you believe like I do that tithing is not a new testament principle and that to impose compulsory tithing is sinful… How do you go about getting your church to address this issue? Do you say to your pastor, “pastor I think we are changing the Gospel and we need to stop?” Do you buy him a book about it or what? Will he just write your opinion off? After all he is the professional Christian. Tell me what you think?
Ahab said to Elijah, 'there you are you troubled of Israel!' And Elijah said,'It is not I but you and your household who trouble Israel.'
ReplyDeleteIt is those who refuse to live in the light and grace of the New Covenant, and furthermore go about as teachers of their new phariseeism who are causing division. Those who stand up for the truth are merely refusing to be taken in by their schemes.
God bless and be encouraged. Tithing is possible as a free will offering, but the compulsion of tithing is sin and heresy.
I am Jewish and I agree. Western Christian pastors were taught the erroneous principle of tithing in seminary. They are not Levites. They err gravely for taking as their due what does not even remotely belong to them. I thought your Yeshua became the curse FOR you...? Write to any orthodox Jew or Rabbi and they will tell you that only Levites in the temple period received tithes...By the way, do your women cover? Are all your men circumcised? Do you offer the blood sacrifices as prescribed? There are 613 laws...why do you need Yeshua if the laws are still in effect? Thank you for hearing me, a Jew who would like to hear that there is actual rest in Your Messhiach... I am tired...
