This is not about if we are to tithe or not OR if we are under the law or not. My question is this:
When were tithes suppose to be paid for the people in the bible who are commanded to tithe Was it weekly, yearly, Ever 3 years, every seven years?
I ask because I hear some preacher pretty much saying you should tithe everytiem you get a pay check. Some say you should bring a tithe and/or offering EVERY time you come to church.
I can not find scriptures to indicate that tithe giving was every week or every time you step inside a church.
Hey Bryan,
Lets go in to Genesis 14:14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he
was the priest of the most high God.
14:19 And he blessed him, and said,
Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.
And he gave him tithes of all.
When Melchizedek (Jesus) came on the seen abram, gave his tithes.
23:1 And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim
to be holy convocations,
even these
are my feasts.
23:3
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
23:4 These
are the
feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.(Leviticus 23:1-4)
This is why we pay our
tithes every week or when you get payed, cause on the
seventh Day, we have an
Holy convoation. The whole foundation of church or any kind of ministry, take from God and add to themself, even man laws, not realizing its always go back to the ten commandments. Sunday preachers suppose to show people Leviticus the 23rd chapter, but then again they have explain to much. A lot of them
are new testament christian, so they never go in the old testament book
Lets look at the feast of the lord, which is still good to observe, also
represent Gods plan
16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
16:17 Every man
shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. (Deu. 16:16,17)
Its seven annual Holy Days, but these three you can't come empty handed, remember paul kept the feast as well.
14:22 Thou shalt truly
tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
14:23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
14:24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it;
or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 14:25 Then shalt thou turn
it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy
soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
Yes, at these feast the lord allow you to have strong drink, so much for drinking is a sin, but thats another topic.
peace in jesus name
