MISQUOTED SCRIPTURE (6)

OLD TESTAMENT TITHING

Hebrews 7:5,11-12 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the LAW, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: [11] If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the LAW,) what further need was there that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? [12] For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the LAW.

No other man was commanded to take tithes, except The Levites Priests, the sons of Abraham, according to The LAW. The Levites were to take tithes from their brothers, according to The LAW. The LAW provided for their necessities. They were to live off of these tithes.

Paul said, that there would be another Priest shall rise up, we know That Priest is JESUS. He will not be a son of Aaron, but of Judah. The Priesthood has been changed. So now that the Priesthood has been changed, The LAW has been changed also.

 

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under The LAW of, but under Grace.

THIS IS WHAT THE NEW TESTAMENT SAYS ABOUT GIVING

2 Corinthians 8:13-15 For I mean, not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: [14] But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: [15] As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack.

When you give, give to help ease others, but not to bring a burden on yourself.

Paul talks about how your giving out of their bounty, Blesses others, 

2 Corinthians 9:1-5 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: [2] For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. [3] Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: [4] Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. [5] Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

Paul wanted them to have what they were going to give out of their bounty, to be collected, before they came. He also stated, they should not hoard up for themselves, when they can help others in need.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. [7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Paul said when you give as much as you can. Give cheerfully, Happily, not grudgingly.

2 Corinthians 9:8-12 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: [9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. [10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) [11] Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. [12] For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

Paul said GOD will Bless you, and others when we all give. Our every need will be provided for, if we all share, out of all of our bounties!
