giving the NT way

[Jessie]

since we are not under OT law of giving tithe,
what is the way we are to give now?

I cant find the verses concerning it...

[CoreIssue]

The OT sets some guiding concepts and principles. Christ said non would pass away until all is accomplished.

Parts were fulfilled by Christ, not annulled.

So we don't toss it all out. We look at it as to how the non legal portions teach us concerning how to live today.

There is more than meets the eye when one applied defending Sound Doctrine. When you look at the teachings you do find there is considerable structure for life presented.

ok, now I'm lost :scratch:

could you explain it out for me?

would'nt we not be under law but rather give because we love God and want to do what he wants?

what promises are given to us also?

[CoreIssue]

Take the OT Mosaic Laws and forget the legal part and look to what they are pointing to as regards how to live.

That is why Christ said intent of the law not letter, do to others as you would have them do to you, love others as you love yourself and so on.

Dead to the law but with a changed heart and mind abiding by what they teach us to do.

Example, tithe goes from mandatory to freewill. Giving is still there, but now because it is right, not required.

One promise is that we are saved by grace but if we work for what is right he will pay us with rewards. Gift versus wages.

Another is he will put no burden on us greater than we are able to deal with.

Another is we suffer due to freewill that God must allow but he will repay us in Eternity for enduring it for him.

So no, not spelled out like the Ten Commandments. If that had been done most assuredly they would have become a legal list in many denominations.

More of in the heart and found and absorbed by study and living over time. Not a law book.
