Facts

You are exactly right and the levites had a strict diet to be holy to receive this tithing to work spiritual healing for the people.

@@pinasiansunjukaninge302 okay I see. Thank you for mentioning the diet issue. I didn't know about it. Care to share the scripture where the diet issue was prescribed.

Thank you so much... Though you didn't get the spelling of my name quite correctly. 🥲 But thank you for attempting. ❤

@@jakeshinjari I’m sorry… but I tried

@@geoffvanessa6650 😅 You definitely did! It's not a common name. 🙂

I'm not trying to debate what you're saying. I simply have not seen tithing money in the Bible. As someone starting today through faith, I'm starting my tithing journey today regardless as I'm feeling led to do so. So I'm seeking understanding of it. I know you reap what you sow....that's with anything in life. I'm just looking for the biblical verses that clearly state money tithing.

​@@fswfromthegroundup1848 You're right. It is written produce, not money. This means in EVERYTHING (Your time, your thoughts, your finances, your health, etc.) you have, give 10% of it to God. Now, God here, doesn't exclusively equate to the church, but rather to EVERYTHING THAT GLORIFIES HIM and furthers His Kingdom on Earth. Ultimately, your tithe can go to orphanages, widows, the homeless, the poor, cancer centers, neighbors in need, even as a gift to someone (stranger or not), etc., without the need for a middleman. You also can do so by giving your time to help out, to counsel, to advise, to read the Word, etc., Your intelligence (which is given by God) to assist/help someone, Give out a product or belonging for free to the needy or just because you wish to help, Sharing your food with your roommates or the people on the streets, Give money out for help or assistance in true God-glorifying project, etc., but not to those pseudo-God-glorifying-things-but-actually-money and selfworshipping-low key (man is equal to God teachings)-heretic-purposed-projects. When choosing where to financially or physically give, whether it is to a church, charity, organization, Go Fund, or even assisting someone; always pray to God that He may reveal to you if they are truly accomplishing His will lest you enhance an enemy of God. In the end, produce is much more than money. Churches nowadays serve money, and that's why, from the abundance of their heart, their mouth speaketh. Stay and be blessed, Sister.

@@alexnoussi Thank you.

@@fswfromthegroundup1848 Deuteronomy 14:25 (NIV): "then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose." This is a level of flexibility in the tithing process, recognizing practical difficulties and providing a way to fulfill the tithing obligation. Although the original tithe was agricultural, this verse acknowledges the use of money (silver) as a medium for tithing, which is more practical in certain circumstances. It addresses the logistical challenges of bringing tithes to a central place of worship by allowing the conversion of tithes into money. Paul recognized that Jesus did not abolish tithing, he added to it, not in law, but in the freedom to give and receive. Hebrews 7:8 (NIV) "In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living." Paul writes this after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus- maybe decades after. Paul discusses the concept of tithes and priesthood in the context of Jesus' eternal priesthood in the book of Hebrews, particularly in Hebrews 7. In this verse, Paul contrasts the mortal Levitical priests, who collect tithes and eventually die, with Jesus, who is "declared to be living" and holds an eternal priesthood. This implies that Jesus, in his eternal priesthood, is in a position similar to Melchizedek's, who received tithes from Abraham. Melchizedek is presented as a type or foreshadowing of Christ's eternal priesthood. Just as Melchizedek received tithes from Abraham, Jesus, as a priest in the order of Melchizedek, is implied to be worthy of receiving tithes. Jesus' priesthood is eternal and superior to the Levitical priesthood, which suggests that he holds a continual and everlasting role in interceding for believers. While the text does not explicitly say that Jesus physically receives tithes today, it symbolically aligns the giving of tithes to the eternal priesthood of Jesus. This means that when believers give, it can be seen as an act of worship and honor to Christ, who is their eternal high priest. The emphasis is on the spiritual and eternal nature of Jesus' priesthood, suggesting that acts of giving, including tithes, are directed towards Jesus in a spiritual sense, recognizing his perpetual priesthood. Paul’s statements in Hebrews 7, especially verse 8, suggests that Jesus, as the eternal high priest in the order of Melchizedek, is symbolically in a position to receive tithes, emphasizing the spiritual significance of giving as an act of worship to Christ. While Paul does not explicitly state that Jesus "receives tithes" in the same way as the Levitical priests, he makes a significant comparison between the Levitical priesthood and the priesthood of Melchizedek, to which Jesus belongs. Paul recounts how Abraham gave a tenth (tithe) of everything to Melchizedek, who was both a king and a priest (Hebrews 7:1-2). He argues that Melchizedek's priesthood is superior to the Levitical priesthood because Levi, the ancestor of the Levitical priests, effectively paid tithes through Abraham (Hebrews 7:4-10). Having said all that, Paul points out that Jesus does receive tithes today. Just in case you missed it, Hebrews 7:8 (NIV) In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. Pretty clear to me that the present day ministry of Jesus includes receiving tithes from believers. What does appear to be true is that tithing is not a NT law. It is not compulsory. If anything, it is superseded by a higher law of free will giving. Just as Abraham first gave a tenth in response to Gods deliverance, so believers today are free to give from their own heart an amount or frequency they deem appropriate. Notice it is a higher law, not an escape from tithing. A higher law has greater consequences. Giving and receiving is written about many times in the NT and one would have to be willfully blind to say it is not true. The main principle to follow is not whether tithing is or isn’t under the law, or is or isn’t done away with. The main principle is do we have something better? Hebrews 8:6 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. ALL argument about tithing is concerned with being free from tithing as if it is wicked or onerous. The fact is the new covenant is a better covenant than the old. Tithing was a blessing, not a curse, under the old. We have something better, which is not freedom from tithing, but freedom to give and receive as much as one wants from the heart. In that context, if one tithes from the heart, the OT blessings are still relevant today. Tithing is the beginning of giving and blessings, not the end. we have a new and better covenant with better promises. Learn those promises and practice believing God instead of avoiding God and the blessing that goes with tithing will be seen to be true today. The Biblical Perspective in the NT on giving. 1 Corinthians 9:13-14 (NIV): "Don't you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel." 1 Corinthians 16:2 provides a structured approach to charitable giving within the early Christian community, emphasizing regular, proportional, and intentional contributions to support those in need. Paul, the apostle, gives instructions to the church in Corinth regarding the collection of funds for the saints in Jerusalem. It reads: "On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made." Paul is instructing the Corinthians to make their contributions regularly , specifically on Sunday, which is the day Christians gather to worship. This reflects the early Christian practice of meeting on the first day of the week, commemorating Jesus' resurrection. He emphasizes that every member of the community should participate in this act of giving. Each person is to give according to their financial ability. So contributions are based on what one has, ensuring fairness.

That's great! I'm motivated too! How can we achieve this challenge?
