What Abraham’s tithe was didn’t consist of any of his crops or herd. He gave ten percent of the spoils of the men he and his kind had just murdered in order to recover Lot.

...he and his kind had just murdered in order to recover Lot.
War is not murder. And if Abraham had committed a crime, Melchizedek would not have met with him and blessed him. So this is another attempt by you to distort the truth.What Abraham’s tithe was didn’t consist of any of his crops or herd. He gave ten percent of the spoils of the men he and his kind had just murdered in order to recover Lot.
Agreed. You could call it a good standard and a good start. But the problem arises when evangelical and fundamentalist churches fail to teach the truth about Christian giving, and talk about "tithes and offerings". You will notice that the epistles have much to say about this.But I do believe tithing is a good standard of giving and we should give a portion to God.
Lol, tithing is contradictory.(Using "murdered" in the same sentence as "to recover Lot" is contradictory.)
yeh, but you can find a storehouse, i thinkI’ve yet to find a Levite.
ha but i notice he had no probs putting his name on a Bible!Kenneth Copelands superscription or image,
Is not on the US dollar.
There are no other days that it works for me. I work Tuesday through Saturday. They are in school during the week. So there are no other days. They live 45 to 55 minutes away as well. I get them Friday evening to Sunday evening.

Won't get into this tonight, but thought it be a good discussion. Scriptures and thoughts on tithing.
Fyi, these are all wrong thoughts. Lol
You just keep on keeping on with what you receive. If you have a short work week that week, and less money, you tithe on what you made. Who is eagle eyeing? It's between you and God what you give.Tithing
OP^
I view Tithing as setting aside a portion of an individuals “first fruits”, whatever they be, to offer/give to the organization/person that teaches you the Word of God.
Sort of strange “today”, making “promises” to give before you “have” produced any fruits, others eagle eyeing you to see, IF and or WHAT you give and a tax write off? Weird to me.
the goods were the riches of Sodom, which had been looted in war and were being carried away by those who had defeated Sodom.
Abram did not save only Lot, but all the people who had been captured
the goods probably consisted of crops and herds along with silver and gold and other riches.
Abram could have claimed a right to everything, as spoils of war, but he effectively gave all
Why is that strange? You can't make promises to God? No one here is telling you to give money to God. But some of us feel that FOR US it is important. No one is condemning you here.
As for income tax, I don't do that because it wouldn't make a difference if I did. But who cares if someone does?
Is there something deeper here for you, that you have a problem with folks doing this?
concerning tithing 10 percent or whatever amount; where no matter whether it is 10 percent or fifty percent it is possibly “a symbol” which cannot make the worshipper perfect in conscience. In fact, as you said if one week is short; then comes guilt. Maybe not for you, but for someone. If not guilt, at least the repetition of purging of conscience?
