Tithes
Dear Sir,I am studying the Bible on tithes, and would like to know if it is necessary for Christians to give tithes. Also, do you think that the believers, including Gentiles, during the apostles’ day gave tithes?-M. Carlos, Brasilia, BRAZIL
Arno's Answer:
Tithes are a good guideline for Christians, but they were strictly given to the children of Israel, who lived under the law. For the New Covenant, whether Jews or Gentiles, 1 Corinthians 16:2 apples, “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.” That, obviously, applied to the time of the apostles as well.
