re: Do you tithe?

quote:

---

Try to find a "tithe" in the New Testament. You won't. The obligation of giving is part of Old Testament (mosaic) law, and is not a tenet of the Christian church.

But Jesus made it clear that his teachings did not change or nullify the law of the Old Testament, And when asked about giving he said specifically to give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to give unto to God what is God's

Tithe does mean 1/10 but in the Old Testament the tithe was to support the Hebrew government which was also the church. Now the government is funded through your taxes , here's where a lot of people get hung up on whether or not a 10th is still applicable.


There's so many discussions and conversations to have on the topic, but as another poster said, it's about what's in your heart, give freely and with Joy, pray about it and do what the Holy Spirit leads you to.
