Tithing, Is It Biblical?

[Mikhael]

Shalom all,

A number of years ago I put together a study on tithing and it being Biblical or not. Someone on this forum was suggested to contact me and I was asked to post my thoughts on it. I'm posting a document, if I can get it to work, that's a pdf file. It's 31 pages and very extensive. The bulk of the work was done by a gentleman in Australia named George Potkonyak. I was running a Messianic Congregation at the time and encountered his study. I found an amazing amount of truth in it.

A couple of years ago at a Sukkot retreat I gave a lecture on it. The lecture took me an hour and a half, I didn't get totally through the information and people were not only amazed, but were asking for more.

Hope it's a blessing to you,
Be Well,
Mikha'el

edited: I cannot upload the pdf file because I don't have enough posts. I've asked a fellow poster to do so for me.

No Simchat, But I'll email it to you if you'd do it. The one you told to contact me is whom I asked.

Hello All:

I tried to pull up the attachment on my email this morning, and my computer wouldn't even recognize that it existed.

Anyway, Yafet you might have an idea as to why it did not, the file was labeled winmail.dat file. If there is a way to turn it into a .doc or something, then please let me know.

Thanks,

Nathan

Looking forward to reading it. Can it be posted here in installments if the pdf is a problem?

I told you to go to muffler?

Its time to check out one of those nice hospitals where you get to wear all white

Simchat,
You told Muffler to go to me not the other way around. I emailed it to you as well, can you post it up.

for crying out loud, in the sink, with a beer in your hand, on a stick.

Yes ST you did bring it up:

Anyway, he has written a rather large article on "tithing" in the Tenach, what it meant, how we are to continue in this practice, etc.

I think we all would benefit from it. I'll try to contact him and see if he can email to me.

shalom,

I can now pull it up. How about everyone who is interested email me and I will send it to them.

I don't think we can make an attachment since it is not a picture.

If someone would like to show me otherwise, I am willing to listen.

Yes ST you did bring it up:

uhhh... no, I wasn't referring to the topic at hand, but instead I was referring to his comment here:

No Simchat, But I'll email it to you if you'd do it. The one you told to contact me is whom I asked.

I don't know where he got muffler dragon as the one who I told him to contact... that's what I was referring to. I believe I have always turned people towards Justin (or another moderator if he's unavailable).

Yafet,
Let's see if I can explain all this. It's obviously gotten confusing.

Muffler contacted me asking who your friend was that did the study on tithing. You told him it was me and it's my understanding that you told him to contact me about getting the article that I have from me. In his email to me he asked if I can send it to him or just post a thread on it. I sent him the article, told him I was going to try to upload the file and start a thread.

I started the thread, I couldn't get it loaded. I asked him, since I emailed him the file and he has more than 100 posts, to post it up since I couldn't. Then you made your comments and I said that I'd send you the pdf as well in case you can post it up.

That's it. This has nothing to do with moderators. It has solely to do with the article I was working from a couple of years ago, his desire to have it's information and me trying to post it. It's way too long to put on the forum. I've been working on a shortened edition that I am writing solely from notes I've taken. It's probably a long way from being completed.

Is it still as clear as mud?

gotcha... clear as vodka... mixed with split pea soup.

I'm actually working dilligently on writing a new article right now. G-d willing, I'll post it up (on a different thread since this got so messy) sometime tonight.

Hello all,

I've started a new thread on Tithing as this one got a little crazy. I actually went through my old note book, took out my outline and re-typed a new article. You can find the new thread here:

Enjoy,
