This an act of gratitude and given to help carry/spread the gospel as well as to help others who are in need. People look not to tithe because they are being commanded to do so and Old Testament scriptures are the driving force. We are no longer under the Old Testament law. Under the New Testament, the Dispensation of Grace, we should be giving freely and cheerfully because of what we know Jesus did for us at the cross. Giving is an act of gratitude because of Jesus' atoning sacrifice. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, "Every man according as he purposeth in his hear, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver.

The argument i often hear about Rev 4 identifying the timing of the rapture never felt right to me, and your post here really helped reinforce some of the thoughts I'd already had.<br /><br />Another argument I've often heard in support of Rev 4 identifying the timing of the rapture is that the church isn't referenced on earth after that, so they must be gone. I find, however, that they also aren't referenced in heaven - Rev 5:11 places angels, the four living creatures, and the 24 elders around the throne, but no "saints", believers in Christ, or the church are to be found there yet.Roy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16063075382109747738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122974069955230279.post-672230513971813112020-01-23T18:07:27.337-08:002020-01-23T18:07:27.337-08:00I have been wrestling with this issue for 25+ year...I have been wrestling with this issue for 25+ years now. We have attended an AG church since 1980 and 25 + years ago we needed a new youth pastor. Two young couples came to candidate and one of them was the pastor's son-in-law and daughter. The kids in the youth group wanted the other young couple but the pastor's son-in-law got the job. Then our senior pastor retired due to health issues several years later and the son-in-law was "naturally" chosen as our new pastor. In all fairness he is a godly man and a good preacher but nothing is done in the church without the pastor's approval, the songs played every Sunday, right down to small maintenance issues. His eldest son and daughter run our children's ministry and youth group respectively. They are high school graduates and the son is taking correspondence courses for ministry but, being in their early 20's, I just feel they are too young for such responsibility. The music ministry (what there is left of it) is the pastor's sole domain. We raised our children in this church and 30+ years ago it was a much more vibrant church. We had a nice choir and really enjoyed the feeling of fellowship with other young families. The choir has been long gone; I guess to provide more time for preaching. Young couples usually don't stay long because there is very little room for anyone to grow into any kind of leadership role. Sorry this was so long but this article is so true in our experience.

These pro-tithers need to study the Word and then come with scriptural proof of their objections, instead of responding with their emotions. Tithing is not for New Covenant believers period. The pro-tithers must instead of shooting off at the mouth produce scriptural proof that the New Covenant Church is commanded to tithe. Monetary tithes is not commanded by God in the old or new covenants. God's commanded tithe under the law [Abram's tithe and Jacob's vow cannot be used as examples for Christians to tithe] was FOOD [Leviticus 27:30-34] Nowhere is there a command to tithe money.

You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Cor 6. Yes the tithe was for a different covenant. We were set free from that one, it was hung on the cross, we could never do it, but our champion did, Jesus fulfilled it to the Tee. So did God change, nope, same God, just the covenant changed, by Christ Jesus we were made righteous, we were bought with a price, we are filled with His Spirit, and as much as we can, we are FREE to give at will. There is no requirement to give but to emulate God, our Father, we cannot help but give. I guess you can truly say we are Freewill Givers. And God is so into it, we cannot give a glass of water in Jesus' name without God taking notice. That means the windows of Heaven are always open to us, get ready here come some more blessings.<br />just another brother, cleansed by the Blood of Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874372399397796749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122974069955230279.post-54986871413150968152019-09-12T23:13:25.900-07:002019-09-12T23:13:25.900-07:00https://biblehub.com/hebrews/7-18.htmhttps://biblehub.com/hebrews/7-18.htmAdam G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07605479457893509393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122974069955230279.post-30872359185554908202019-08-22T14:14:47.089-07:002019-08-22T14:14:47.089-07:00Let's always remember that ministerial leaders...Let's always remember that ministerial leadership who actually work their ministries are very deserving of their wages given by the churches. Knowing that labor among us is the key to freedom in this matter. I am a minister of this gospel and if I have to beg churches to give me what is due, then I'll also have to ask their forgiveness for begging them. People, we are our Father's apostolic family on our way to a place without pain, sorrow and suffering. Them that do labor taking care of his flock, scripturely, PAY THEM! Show new ones coming in to this thing to tend to Father's business, cheerfully. If he loves cheerful givers, whether it be tithes, offerings, gifts, donations...then he must hate the opposite or rather opposing side of this matter.
