For those who believe in the modern concept of the 10% tithe on your entire income, can you support your belief Biblically without Abraham or Jacob.
Why this premise. Simple, Abraham did not tithe on income, he tithed the spoils of war and to further press that issue is that Abraham stated he would not take once penny of any of the spoils of war. Therefore, Abraham had not income at all in that situation. So how could anyone use that for the modern concept of tithing?
Jacob told God I will tithe only if you bless me. Wow, many modern day tithers would flip out if you put that test to God. According to modern day tithers we are suppose to give 10% no matter what, even if you can't pay your bills. That is not what Jacob said. Jacob said if you bless me I will tithe and if not forget you God.
So without Abraham and Jacob how can those who believe in tithing justify that tithing is not a part of the law without these two.
If this has been dealth with I apologize. But I am truely interested if there is a way to justify a 10% tithe without these two people because I just can't see how they can be used for the concept of a pre-law notion of tithing.
