TITHE LIKE ABRAHAM?
To all you people who claim you're "tithing" because, or following the example of Abraham; tell us; why are you not also doing this with your money?...
>> ONE;
Genesis 14:22-23 - "And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:"
NOTE; Abraham did not regard anything of what he had taken during the rescue of Lot (the spoils, Hebrews 7:4) as his own property to keep; "and that I will not take any thing THAT IS THINE."
>> TWO;
Abraham did not tithe on his own income or property he had already obtained, his tithe to Melchisedec was limited to the spoils of Lot's rescue;
Hebrews 7:4 - "Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils."
NOTE; "Abraham gave the TENTH OF THE SPOILS."
>> THREE;
Abraham gave part of the spoils of Lot's rescue to the men who helped him do so;
Genesis 14:24 - "Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion."
Are you giving part of your money to anyone helping you obtain it? Why not? Abraham did. Are you not following the example of Abraham?
CONCLUSION
Concluding the rescue Lot, Abraham kept ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from the spoils of war he took. Stop making a fool of yourself and displaying your ignorance by telling us "you tithe because Abraham did," or "you tithe because tithing was practiced before the Law of Moses." Stop living in a fantasy world; YOU ARE NOT TITHING AS ABRAHAM DID. And, God has never said to tithe because, or as Abraham did.
Oh, I almost forgot; that Hebrew, Jacob? ...forget it, he never tithed anything to anyone we have any record of. Jacob's offer to tithe was a VOW, not a command to tithe. Nice try, but Jacob can't help you in your foolish quest to support a fake unbiblical modern day "money tithing system" based on nothing more than the deceptive traditions of men which make void the world of God;
"Traditions of men" that nullify the word of God refer to human-made rules, rituals, or doctrines elevated above divine commands, ultimately replacing biblical obedience with empty, man-centric practices...
Mark 7:13 - "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."
>> Abraham, Levi and Melchisedec;
Hebrews 7:8-9 - "And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham."
Hebrews 7:8,9 is the Levites / Mosaic Law tithing to Melchisedec; the Church is not the Levites / Law, and has no command to tithe to anyone or any organization.
