Well of course the tithe is NEVER commanded except in the law... if you "think" this is a requirement ? That proves you are under law, and under the curse of the law. You cant just pick out parts of the law to obey and then expect to blessed!Abraham tithed before the law, so this has NOTHING to do with THE LAW; that is just an excuse to justify your choice.
If you don't want to pay tithes, don't pay it; but don't use THE LAW as a scapegoat
I have not spoken against faith at all...There is NO COMMANDMENT to tithe in the New Covenant! Not in ALL the epistles is the tithe presented as a requirement in any way. So if some want to give according to Abrahams tithe..good..but that is not a requirement upon the New Covenant church.... do you not see the difference? The Lord does not desire a gift given in this manner.Mitspa, you keep referring to THE LAW.
ABRAHAM PAID TITHES BEFORE THE LAW.

As far as I understand it the curse and blessings from tithing came from Malachi.
.
He is speaking of the fact that the law came after Abraham and the "curse" of not tithing is written in the book of malachi (which is the law)Wasn't it Melchezedik?
By the way Abraham offered this time ONE TIME after he won a great victory...There is no record that he gave a "tithe" before or after this.Mitspa, you keep referring to THE LAW.

Look friend, if you give according to the "law of faith" and according to Abraham's example...of course your blessed in giving in faith! But that is not what is being taught in 99.9% of the churches! What is being taught is the commandment of the law to tithe according to the written code of the law. Now the law is cursed, unless one keeps ALL THE LAW..and this is why we see the curse working in the church. Because folks are under the law!My wife and I win great victories thru Christ every day, so we pay it ONE TIME, EACH & EVERY DAY. HE is too good to us to hold back from HIM.
I'm sure Abraham had more than just that one victory thru The Lord as well, knowing our God.
Yes they are.. just like the rest of the law..if you obey "all" the law you are blessed, if you fail at one point, you are cursed. Now if some have entered into the promises of the tithe, its not because of their obedience to the tithe, its because they have entered into faith. And the promise of sowing and reaping. If anyone thinks God is counting a percentage of what one gives, they are not seeing truth. And I would also add that the promise of the tithe is a matter of the blessing In Christ. For all the promises of God are yes and amen IN HIM.I really am not concerned about whether tithing is a New Testament thing or an Old Testament thing. I know that God's promises are good forever, and there are certain promises surrounding the tithe.

I have many friends and brothers and sisters in Christ who "tithe" but I think some of them give 9.99% and some give 10.2% and some really give about 5% and some give much more.. Its important to give in a way that would support the work of the ministry and to those in need. God blesses faith not fear! A smaller portion given in faith and in joy, will reap much more than a portion given from fear, guilt and religious tradition.God isn't counting. He is witnessing trust in Him as Jehovah Jireh.
