What I cannot understand is why do Sunday New Testament
Christians fight tooth and nail against the law of the Torah, but accept for
the Old Testament tithing? Actually, I know the answer. Because the preachers
need to preach this to get paid, so it starts at the seminaries.
Numbers
18:26 Thus
speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of
Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then
ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
Where are the high
priests? What were they to do with the offering? The Levite priests are no
more, and the temple is no more. The holy of holies is in our hearts since the
death of the Messiah. We have no more need for a priest to intercede for us. We
can go directly to the throne of the Father for ourselves since the blood of
the Messiah covers our sin.
This tithe of crop, not money, was to be stored in the
storehouse for the needy, and in time of need, and to support the priest tribe
of Levites. There were extra offerings to build the temple.
But we now aren’t to build temples, or churches.
We are not to call any man rabbi, priest or father, so we don’t need to pay a
preacher either. And why spend your money spreading the religion that I have
just proven false?
