That Christians are no longer under the law does not mean that you should live out the law or not obey the law. You need to understand that there is difference between living under the law and living in accordance to the law.

“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” (Luke 24:44)

Cc oyeludef

To begin with Moses was a Levite, his father Amram was levite and so was Aaron his brother and Miriam his sister double check your fact before you come public with it there are vast no of audience some of which you have a tendency to mislead some which will only have an impression of you. Having said that tithing preceded the law (father Abraham paid tithe) long before the law was given to Moses. An "abolishing" of the law does not abolish tithing (cos it wasn't in the law package') in the first place STUDY follow not popular opinions cc emeka1million

millions of people, home and abroad(including me) especially those whom he has touched their lives one way or the other and impacted give him freewill offering. he doesnt have to beg.
numerous companies place him on salary, some on a yearly pay even witout his prior notice. he doesnt have to beg.

even non.members out of their own freewill gives him... he doesnt have to beg.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. (Romans 10:4)

If tithing was not part of the Law, then what was it? You are the one misleading gullible folks. I am sure you are either one of the thieving con men, a family member or some other beneficiary of the awoof.

Pls read that in another translation, your interpretation of that verse needs to be reviewed.

He said he has come to fulfil the law that are written about him and not all the law

Mathew 5:17

Kjv

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

NIV

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Tithing was before the law, Abraham gave tithe before the law was given

Josh121:


Are you telling me the new testament say the should pay tithe? When Jesus was tempted please where did he get is quotations that says it was written? Was it from the old testament you count the law?

BluntBoy:


You are getting it messed up and it is not good for you. Check the verse I provided and mark the word righteousness

Before Christ, the Law was a contractual instrument by which men could temporarily save themselves. The contract was between God and His chosen people. Obey me and I will bless you; disobey me and I would ravage you. The Law was bondage and it carried curses. When Jesus died, he fulfilled the Law in our behalf, taking all the curses and bondage associated with it and ushering in the New Covenant prophesied by the prophets. The New Covenant is a liberating instrument. It is no longer based on the conditional love of the Old Testament but on the unconditional love of them New Testament. Now, we are no longer forced to love God in exchange for blessings but to be loved by God.

Money answereth all things.
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil... spot the difference.

Our God is a God of abundance.

Zach 1:17 My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad;

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Josh121:


Have you read a place in the bible that says he honour is word more than is name, if you have. I have one question, did God change is word

So, your pastor's offering can buy them?

Calm down and listen to me. Stop glorifying a man like you. Other people contributed to those bags and you want to give all the credits to your pastor. If he is so generous, why didn't he ask that the jet be sold and the money given to the poor.

Would Jesus or any of the Apostles or Early Church leaders have accepted such an expensive gift when billions are suffering all over the world? You want us to see the good works of your pastor as if only his money went into it. I am even sure that he didn't even contribute one kobo to the purchase of those bags.

umama23:


He died to save us from our sin. he only reconcile us to God, he broke the wall of separation between God and man. Man still have to fulfil the law by walking in the spirit. when you walk in the spirit or walk in love you will ultimately fulfil the law.

1 jh 5:3

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

REV 22:10 - 12
10And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.


Verse 12 says to give to every man according his WORK

BluntBoy:


To whom did Abraham give tithe?

ashjay001:



Galatians 5:16-17

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

Pls do your personal study and respect other's belief. I stop tithing at a time because things were difficult couple with the fact that I wasn't really seeing the benefit in my life. So one day, I pick up my bible and my concordance read through every chapter that tithe, tithes and tithing could be found and I then concluded on given tithe with a better understanding.

I seriously don't care how it is used because my major concern is fulfilling all righteous like Jesus did.
