Tithing on trial
August 14, 2016
We often hear of tithing (tenth of the income of the believer) in other churches. And we see stories of great wealth of the church leaders: lavish homes, helicopters, and lifestyle worthy of kings and royalty for the said church leaders. We hear of an evangelist with house in Highlands and 3 houses in a posh village.
Another evangelist, said in his TV program (they too have great wealth now because they have become very popular with outreach overseas) says in his program, a bible exposition that TITHING is nor required under the New Testament. But we have to give graciously. (Is there a difference)
This article from Bible Org expounds on the same thing. Tithing which was part of pre Mosaic and Mosaic law, requires tithing from every one. The New Testament under Jesus Christ does not require. But we have to give generously
Thus, maging Bukas Palad: (generous)
