Tithing and WOF

Most WOF teachers teach tithing. In fact I don't think I have ever heard a WOF teacher teach against tithing for the NT church.

I guess I am a different brand of Woffer. I do not believe that tithing is for NT believers. I have several friends that are WOF that also do not believe in tithing.

Are there any other WOF people out there that do not believe in tithing?

Are you an active member of a church?

Why would you not believe in tithing?

the writer to the Hebrews who was clearly new testament said... Heb. 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

Jesus is still in the business of receiving tithes and when we tithe we testify that he is alive... the fact that it testifies that he is alive is speaking of after the resurrection, tithing is still for the new testament church...

How does the local Church pay the bills?

God Bless!

Woffer-

I used to think that WOF meant we believed the Bible, cover to cover. Tithing is the greatest act of worship you can offer. When you bring your tithe, you are expressing to God your trust in His Covenant. Your statement kind of reminds me of Ross Perot when he ran for President. Someone asked him if he went to church, to which he replied he did. Then he volunteered something very interesting, he said, "Yea, but as soon as that preacher mentions an offering I reach down to my back pocket and button the button because I know that preacher is going to try and steal my money." Your money and your heart are tied together, what you value most, you spend your money on.

A little confused here... are you saying you don't believe the bible cover to cover?

If you don't believe in tithing, does that mean you believe in Spirit lead giving? Something else? I heard of people being against tithing, but giving much much more than 10% in the offering every week. One I talked to gave 30% every week. I thought that was cool, but I wondered how he came up with 30% for his number.

Anyway, why do you believe the way you do?

The question was asked, am I saying do I not believe in tithing?

No, I am using a question to show how WOF people are in fact getting awy from the Word of God. When I got a hold of the Word of God, I believed it cover to cover, still do. I did not pick and choose parts of the Bible because I did not want to put that part of the Bible into practice. I accepted the Word as it is, the inspired, inerrant Word of God.

Does that explain?

does for me. But what is truth here? That a tithe is a work of the law, or that offerings are from the heart?

should I tithe because the law says I have to give 10%

or should I give whatever in offerings out of a love filled heart?

some might think if they give the required 10% they have paid for "works" their lot

Tithing is 10%. It belongs to God. Everything we have is from God and all He asks from us is to give back 10% of all our income and take it to our local church, God's house. We get to keep the other 90% and give offerings as we desire.

When we take care of God's house, He takes care of ours.

When you tithe the Bible says the windows of heaven will be opened above you and pour out a blessing you don't have room enough to contain. It is also the only thing (that I am aware of) in the Bible that causes God to rebuke the devour in our lives.

Tithing is part of the law and even in the NT it is clear we are to continue tithing. Jesus told the Pharisees they should continue to do it in Matt 23:23.

However tithing is really a matter of the heart. And the first people to tithe did so before there was a law. Look at Abraham and Jacob making vows back in Genesis.

Where your treasure is that's where your heart will be. - Matt 6:21

Your heart follows your treasure. Where is your heart? You can choose to have it be in the things of God.

So if our love and fear for God doesn't move us to give to God even if it wasn't a law, like Abraham did, we can still get our heart in the right place by obeying God's Word and tithing.

It seems people are so fearful when it comes to money. If they only knew how much they are missing out on by not obeying God in this area, they would turn that fear in to faith in an instant. God doesn't ask us to do something we are not capable of doing...

Anyway that's my 2 cents and I believe tithing is for every single Christian.

Be blessed to be a blessing -
