You have no precedent to teach that tithing was motivated by love. NT freewill giving is motivated by love in many ways.<BR/><BR/>Use a Bible Dictionary. While money was essential for many offerings, the true biblical tithe was always only food from inside Israel. It was the tenth, never the first. And it only applied to farmers and herdsmen. Jesus, Peter and Paul did not qualify as tithe-payers.<BR/><BR/>The law of tithing was never given to or accepted from Gentiles. In fact God commanded Israel NOT to share its covenant with other nations. The OT tithe was never used to support missionaries of build the temple either so there is no precedent.<BR/><BR/>Love motivates us to give sacrificially, generously, as we purpose in our hearts and as we are burdened for lost souls. That is enough.<BR/><BR/>Russell Earl Kelly, PHD<BR/>www.shouldthechurchteachtithing.comRussell Earl Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503861082402192378noreply@blogger.com
