The poor woman in Luke chapter one was not said to be tithing, was she?Did you miss the story of the poor woman in Luke Chapter 21? While it may be true that many had only their crops and animals and not money, the giving of money wasn't frowned on by those accepting the gifts or God Himself. People gave what they had. Today, many don't have farm produce or livestock, but they have money and vice versa.
The poor woman in Luke chapter one was not said to be tithing, was she?
According to Luke's account of that event, it was gifts being put in the treasury. Nothing is said of tithes at all.
And that woman gave 'all her living,' not 10% of what she had... further proving that it was not tithes.
by the way... a gift is not a mandatory requirement.
Try again.
Hebrews did have money. "Money" is mentioned in the first five books of the Bible. Burial plots were said to have been bought with "shekels". Gold and silver are mentioned as well.Try again for what? I said that people gave what they had. The Hebrews didn't have money, but they did have the land and agricultural products and animals. They tithed what they had. I also said that the gifts included money which wasn't turned down. Richer Hebrews probably did have money.
You might be interested in this bit about Jewish tithing from a source on the internet.
"Some Rabbinic sources make reference to a tithe of money as well as of produce, although it is not too clear whether this was seen as a voluntary contribution rather than an obligation. Nevertheless, many observant Jews today do donate a tenth of their annual income to charity. This is known as maaser kesafim, 'the money tithe' or 'wealth tax."

Those Rabbinic sources are wrong. The Word of God is clear as to what God required as a tithe. Leviticus 27, Numbers 18, and Deuteronomy 14 clearly show what God's tithe consisted of, and it was never money. I'll believe the Word of God concerning the tithe rather than an internet source.

No, not at all. Money is what pays for electricity and other utilities a Church needs to operate. It is also good for paying the salary of the pastor if he needs that.Do you consider giving money wrong? Just curious.
The Rabbi's sources are wrong. The Levites were told to collect tithe of the crops, flocks and herds... nothing else was to be tithed.The ancient Hebrews did a lot of things that were contrary to the stated wishes of God. Anyway, so, the author of this piece didn't know what he was talking about?
"Rabbi Dr. Louis Jacobs (1920-2006) was a Masorti rabbi, the first leader of Masorti Judaism (also known as Conservative Judaism) in the United Kingdom, and a leading writer and thinker on Judaism."

What I am against is the unbiblical teaching that God requires 10% of our money as a tithe. Nowhere in the Word of God did God authorize money to be received as a tithe. The tithe was always something that was edible.
The only people authorized to receive the tithe were the Levites, except the third year tithe which was given to the widows, orphans, Levites who lived on the tither's land and any foreign visitors to the city.
The seventh year, there was no tithe given or received. The land was to rest. There is no evidence of the same people being required to tithe week in and week out over and over and over as many Churches require today of their members. That which is being preached as being the tithe in Churches today is nowhere close to the Biblical tithe.
"NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE pays the Biblical tithe today."
Everyone appointed you as their spokesperson?
You pay the Biblical tithe? Really? What do you give as your tithe? Crops? Flocks? Or herds?
Then I must inform you by the authority of God's Holy Word that you are not paying the Biblical tithe.Yes i pay 10 percent of my money plus a little more.
