Featured The reason Baptist preachers teach tithing

So you think Melchizedek the sole priest of the most high God in Abraham's day to be some mere local priest.

I need to ask, what would you explain to an unsaved person as to how to know God?

 

No bait-and-switch here.
Next time you plunder an area and kill the people, are you going to tithe the spoils?

 

False narative. For which you are a barbarian.

 

Was Abraham a barbarian? Yes or No.?

ed. Alright, I remember that you did answer that before, and said No.
The only thing left, then, is for you to explain your reasoning-- if that's what it should be called-- why one man [Abe] who plundered towns and killed people is NOT a barbarian, and another [myself] who has never done anything like that IS a barbarian.

 

Abraham rescued his nephew Lot. http://thekingdomofjesus.com/web files/NT Teaching/NT Updates/11. GODS COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM.pdf
The forgiveness we get is kept by God Himself. Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrews 10:16-17.

 

Who I'm sure said, "Thanks a Lot!"

Alright. Still, if you attack and plunder regions and kill the people and take the spoils, will you give a tenth to a priest?

 

That is still a false narrative.

 

It is not false that Abraham plundered and killed and gave a tenth of the spoils to a priest in the area. Unless you think the scriptures are false. Are you going to follow Abraham's example?

 

Not of your damnable portrayal of Abraham's godly actions.

 

That is no competent answer. Abraham's times and actions have often been claimed to be "under grace," since the Law had not been given, to justify tithing as being under grace. Was all thus under grace, and thus part of what Christians under grace should be doing?
