I am aware of someone who has researched the topic of tithe and come to the conclusion that it was a tax on farming types activities and we are no longer obligated to pay tithe. How would you answer this belief?
God gave us the gift of choice. He also gave us the gift of His son to die for our sins but we have to accept.I have a problem with the ideas of obligation and give to receive. Don't we give because we already have received His gift of His Spirit living within us? Don't we do His will for us because we love Him and want to do as He has asked?
Jesus rebuked the Jewish leaders for paying tithe of mint, anise, and cumin, while forgetting the "weightier matters of the law." He then said that they should have done both.
