In a reply to a certain Obiwon pictured above along his own message regarding tithing, Daddy Freeze has stated that paying tithe was never part of Christianity. See his message below:
Dear Obiwon,
Tithing was never a part of Christianity, if it were we would have had examples of believers who were, Greek, Gentile, Arab, Roman or Corinthian paying tithes or being admonished to pay.
-
Tithing was also NOT a part of the first Churches the disciples set up, it was an addition to Christianity and is being propagated with much maliciousness.
-
In a recession pastors are getting richer while some people are being sold into slavery and the MUST stop.
-
I'll appeal to you not to promote tithing until this question is answered, so you don't end up edifying the idolatry going on in many churches today.
-
"Where did Jesus, our new high priest under Melchizedek, The pillar upon which the Christian faith leans and the foundation of our belief system collected tithes from his congregation, or where our first pastors and GOs the disciples, collected tithe? WHERE???
-
As a matter of fact Jesus only spoke about tithe twice in the entire bible and in both instances, he condemned people. One clear example of such is in Matthew23:23 where he rebuked the Pharisees for their hypocrisy. He said they remembered to tithe from their fruit gardens but neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy.
-
Although Jesus said yes they should tithe, lets remember that the Pharisees and scribes were teachers of the religious law and that religion wasn't Christianity, it was Judaism, a religion that makes up 79% of the population in Israel today, as against the 2% of Christians that live there.
-
Furthermore, the Pharisees didn't believe that Christ was the messiah, hence the frequent temptation.
