RE: Tithing: A must for Christians or not
Tithing came before moses, Abraham tithed years before the law came:
◄ Hebrews 7:2 ►
New International Version
and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace."
This is to prove that tithing is not a law because Abraham came before the law, tithing is a revelation and not a law.
Bible makes us understand that Abraham was a prophet, so tithed by revelation.
So even though the law has been abolished, it doesn't affect tithing.
Moses gave a tenth of all he had willingly, God didn't command or ask him to do that, Hebrew 7:2 refered back to the giving of Abraham without itself asking us to pay it. I believe with the accordance of the new testament to give what I think is right which can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 30, or more. What I posted doesn't contradict giving to God in any way, it just say you can give more than the tenth percent of what you get.
