THE CHURCH TO TITHE BASED ON HEBREWS 7:8?
Though tithing was mentioned before Moses, moving forward in time; the tithe (tithing) came under the administration and control of the Law (the Law of Moses, the Commandment)...
Numbers 18:21 - "And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Hebrews 7:5 - "And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:"
MOVING FORWARD
The tithe (tithing) declared obsolete and canceled...
Hebrews 7:18-19 - "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God."
>> Additionally;
Hebrews 7:8 refers to the Law of Moses [represented by the Levites; see Hebrews 7:11] paying a tithe to Melchizedek, which proved the superiority of Melchisedec over the Levite priesthood and the Law (Hebrews 7:7- "And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better").
It was in fact the Levites paying a tithe to Melchisedec...
Hebrews 7:9 - "And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham."
The New Testament Church is NOT the Law of Moses, are NOT Levites, are NOT the Commandant, AND CANNOT TITHE BASED ON HEBREWS 7:8 TO ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The New Testament Church is NOT represented in Hebrews 7:8 as paying tithes.
CONSIDER...
How and why did the Levites take tithes? Answer; because they were given THE COMMNADMENT to do so. Again; "have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law,"
The commandment to take tithes is, again; CANCELED, DISANNULED, ENDED, ABOLISHED because it was of the Law...
Hebrews 7:18 - "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."
CONCLUSION
All tithing is forever abolished and canceled! Hebrews 7:8 does NOT command a Christian to tithe anything to anyone.
