Hi Redfox

The important things about any verse is to read it in context…starting at vs 1. Paul is speaking about the rights of APOSTLES…ie sent out ones…or missionaries and NOT resident preachers.

The right paul addresses in vs 4 confirms that he is addressing the ‘right to EAT and DRINK’…not the right to be paid a salary….or receive money from ‘tithes’

This is confirmed in the ‘first mention’ of the reward which APOSTLES only could expect and then only when they travelled. Mat 10:10…’the worker is worthy of his KEEP’…ie FOOD and not money … not mammon…and certainly not a ‘paid full-time career’

Tithing is not debatable. I will give an example, if I had ten cobs of maize and gave them to someone and ask them cook them and just give me two cobs out of the ten they will prepare and allow them to eat the remaining 8. They cook and eat everything including the two. I hope you get my point right.

God bless you all
Christine

[...] you get a bonus, what do you plan to spend first? What is the first priority? Have you heard of the first 10%? Have you heard of the best 10%? Have you heard the word tithe? It isn’t a covenant thing, [...]

U see, dats d problem with d world today, dats why d people are getting more lawless by the day. If u claim 2 b a child of yahweh who is being led by his spirit then u should have learnt 2 Obey his command without asking 4 reasons or bringing in earthly human logic. Pay ur tithes and leave the rest to yahweh or do not and continue 2 remain a spiritual and physical pauper. ‘GRACE’ cannot cover u when u deliberately break d law 4 ur selfish purpose!

Jared, I’d say you are out of line! His comments are much more backed up in scripture than yours are. Jesus summed up mankind’s whole duty in a few verses, (Matt 22:37) “thou shalt love the lord thy God with all they heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind…though shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. on these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets. Please don’t confuse the simplicity in which Jesus came to teach by pretending that you must be a scholar to get to know God. As far as tithing goes, whoever posted earlier that a tenth seems like little to give in exchange for the promises held out to those who believe is correct in that. God doesn’t want our money but wants our love. So often people give money out of obligation or threat that they are breaking a commandment of God. Money(tithing) seems to take the place of what God truly wants from people. So many people just give their money and then go about their own lives with no real regard for God or what he really wants. Jesus also talked about this…

Preachers can’t appeal to any instructions from Paul or other apostles, or even Jesus himself to pay preachers ten per cent of monetary paychecks. Preachers have to isolate scriptures from their context, or appeal to second-or third-hand reasoning to ADD TO God’s word in order to bilk Christians out of their money through guilt tactics.

Wish we didn’t have to debate about tithing, but the truth of the matter is that people’s hearts are under bondage. People’s budgets are under bondage.

I don’t think tithing should be a debate. When you give to the Church, you give to God and by your tithing you show your faith. I too have not much to give but I trust in the Lord. We all should be obedient and tithe. It is only those who try to use logic to understand a Christ and what it means to be a Christian and why we do things the way we do. If people do not want to tithe, that is simply their choice but as for me, I will listen to God.

God bless everyone

pfire252: If I may answer your question regarding odette boiley’s comment, Jesus absolutely authored and supported every part of the Law. The point of the account of the stoning of the adulteress is not that Jesus undermines or overrules His own Law through forgiveness and grace. The adulteress did deserve death as we deserve death. Jesus doesn’t justify her sin or nullify her due punishment in confronting her accusers and forgiving her. Rather, He frees her from the completely just punishment of her sin by taking the penalty on Himself. Grace and mercy are not a manifestation of Christ contradicting or revising His established Law. He fulfills the Law in that, where it requires our death, he dies in our place. Where it requires our sacrifice, he offers the ultimate sacrifice in our place. Where it requires our suffering and shame, he bears these in our place. God is both perfect justice and perfect love… and Jesus is the personification of this almost unimaginable reality.
