Will a man rob God ? Yet you have robbed me ! But you say, In what way have we robbed you ? In tithes and offerings How often have you used Mal 3:8 to convict another Christian, that he or she should be tithing; ten percent of their income to God ? Perhaps you even went so far as to tell him or her, that they should also tithe ten percent; of their time and talent. But is this correct......can money, time and talent be tithed ? In order to find the answer to this question; we must first understand the importance of praying for the Lords illumination( of scripture ) before beginning any study of the Bible. Then, we must study scripture; not only in its historical context; but also in its grammatical context. Once we understand; that the entire Bible ( both old and new testaments ) was written for the Christian believer. Yet, realizing that not everything in the Bible is directed toward the Christian; or is talking about the Christian ( this is one of the mistakes made by the word of faith teachers ); we will become good students of the Bible. Keeping that in mind, lets look at what the Bible says about tithing. There are four questions which we must answer when addressing this subject. They are: 1. What was tithed ? 2. Who received the tithe ? 3. What was the tithe used for ? 4. Where did the tithe have to be taken ? Can you answer these questions ? Its going to take a little time to research this, so dont rush it. Then post your findings here.
