The key word is "but". The phase "it is a good standard" is a key phase to me that is a doctrine from man or a doctrine from a lower source. ... as the very...
1. Tithing never was a "standard" for everybody in the OT, so how can it be a standard for NT believers? 2. As the honorable J. Vernon McGee once told a rich...
There´s a TV program broad casted nationally here in Brazil that debates various issues about Christianity and I suggested a debate on the theme "tithing"....
I don't think the "but" matters. It's like saying "Eye for an eye is ok, but it's better to love and pray for your enemies, as Jesus told us." You can't...
Believe it or not, I taught tithing when I was an SDA pastor, based solely on my false understanding of Genesis 14:20. Robson, I think that a lot of those...
Ok, I also presume it´s just a matter of "serious in-depth study of God's Word". That occurred with me, too. However, it doesn´t seem to be that simple for...
Robson I questioned it when I was a teenager before I had any higher education because of the way the church treated my father who did his best and still...
Any reasonable explanation for 99.9% of the churches adopting tithing? How do you guys deal with it in your local church ? Nobody feels comfortable being a...

Having just moved to Virginia, I'm looking for a church. As I was looking at some local churches, I ran across an Evangelical Free church ... and the following...
I listened to the link and was intrigued by a question asked near the end of the tape. "If you don't want to give, you need to ask why?" My answer: I don't...
I totally here what you're saying ... But, when you join a church, you are in effect saying that you are committed to that ministry and their objectives. You...
"But, when you join a church . . ." My wife and I have not been members of the churches we have attended for years because we refuse to assume the financial...
Imagine a Cristian Association with a goal of proclaiming God's Word , and particularly the right notion about tithing. It could reach many christians who...
There is no perfect church ... there is no pastor with a perfect theology ... not now, not in Antioch, Galatia, or Corinth. However, we need to major on the...
I appreciate what you are saying and I have considered your question. In my 54 years, I have been in several churches I at first thought sound, but have been...
I dunno Dave. It caould be a problem matching your convictions ith the available Churches. Thats the issue I am facing, though I have been visiting one that...

Well, I think it (buildings end up closing) is a major "theological" problem for most pastors... Obviously some buildings will become smaller, others will end...
One argument against tithing is that money was not universally available and barter from food must have been used for most transactions. Conclusion: Gen 17:12,...
