For those who continue to insist on branding me as being against tithing, I make the following statement... If a Gentile Christian insists that tithing is required, I believe it should be done according to the way that God ordained it to be done. If a Gentile wants to tithe, he should move to Israel (Deuteronomy 12:8 ) where Gods Word said tithing is to be done (Deuteronomy 12:1-18 ) He should purchase land in Israel on which he can farm or raise livestock and tithe from the increase of such. (Leviticus 27:30-33) He should take the firstfruits from his crops and livestock annually to the Temple in Jerusalem (Nehemiah 10:37-38) and his tithes annually to one of 48 cities scattered throughout Israel (Numbers 35:1-8 ) to give to the Levites (Numbers 18:21-28; Nehemiah 10:37-38 ) living in those cities. The Gentile living in Israel should also take a second tithe annually to Jerusalem to the Feast of Weeks and eat that tithe with his family and with the Levites (Deuteronomy 14:22-27) And every three years, the Gentile living in Israel should keep the tithe on his own property to feed the widows, orphans and foreigners of his community there in Israel with the tithe for that year (Deuteronomy 14:28-29 ) The Gentile living in Israel will get a full one year reprieve from tithing his crops every seven years as he will not be able to harvest, nor sow his fields. (Leviticus 25:4) If the Gentile is willing to do it Gods way, (Deuteronomy 12:8 ) I have no problem with it. LOL Exodus 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. The Gentile that chooses to tithe according to the order set forth in Gods Holy Word should not teach Gentiles living in other nations that they are required to tithe (Psalm 147:19-20; Acts 15:10,23-29) Nor should he berate them if they choose not to tithe since God said that other nations were not given the Law that He gave to Moses. (Psalm 147:19-20; Acts 15:10,23-29)
