“Will man steal from God? However, you steal from me and say: How do we steal from you?In tithes and offerings. You’re cursed by a curse, because you’re stealing from this whole nation. , so that there may be food in my house, and then try me on this, said the Lord of armies, if I do not open the windows of heaven and give you such a blessing until there is not enough room to recover it. And for thee, I will rebuke the devourer, and he shall not destroy the fruits of thy land; and your vine in the fields will not be sterile, said the Lord of armies. ?(Malachi 3: 8-11)
What does the Bible say about tithing?Should we give tithes and offerings or should we simply pay tithing?What about Malachi 3:10?
- Previously.
- We posted to answer whether the tithe is valid for today and we talked about the non-continuity of the tithe in the New Testament.
- Being replaced by freewill offerings (post 1.
- Post 2).
- In the video below.
- Augustus Nicodemus exhibits the book Malachi speaks on the subject of tithing.
- His position is well balanced and represents our reflection on the subject.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. If you disagree, first calm your spirits (pray for help), then read the previous posts and comments and only then offer biblical arguments to defend yourself.
I’m used to paying tithing. Can I go on or do I sin?
There is no problem in regularly offering voluntary offers that are proportional to 10% of your income. “Everyone contributes as proposed in their hearts; not out of sadness or necessity; because God loves with joy what he gives. ?(2 Corinthians 9: 7)
How will churches, pastors, and missions be supported?
Likeever, with the generous and voluntary contribution of God’s people who serve only the Lord and not Mammoon.
But if you don’t preach and threaten curses so you don’t decimate, people won’t.
Thus, the people of your church do something that God does not love, because God loves the one who gives with joy and will.
Abraham gave tithing before the law, so tithing is instituted before the law.
Abraham was also circumcised before the law, which does not mean that you too should do so. Read previous articles on this topic.
If I do not give tithing, will I be cursed by the grasshopper cup, the pilgrim, the devastating and devouring Joel 1:4?
First, if you are a true Christian, there is no more condemnation for you (Romans 8:1), because Christ saved you from all curse (Galatians 3:13) and you have been adopted by God. Does this mean that the Father continually seeks your good, that is, you look more and more like Christ (Romans 8:28,29)?and more to the rich in this world?and our Father will even take disciplinary action for it, by receiving Him as a Son (Hebrews 12:6) Therefore, this means that if the Father is better found, he can guide him through economic trials to learn to be generous (2 Corinthians 8:2) and not to put his heart into riches (Psalm 62:10).
I have tithed and it has worked and I know the testimonies of people who have become rich by tithing.
Those who enter secret societies also get rich, does that mean you’re right?No, that’s not a valid argument; Moreover, offering God is not a currency of change or a good deal, but a gesture of worship and love for one’s neighbour, if your intention to decimate or offer is, in the end, to get rich, then you do not love God, but you use it for your sinful and carnal desires.
