How Is The Story Told In Chapter 6

3700 Words15 Pages

Chapter 3 deals with all occurrences of tithes in the Bible. This helps us to establish the fact on how tithing was done, with what substances, and at what intervals; for whom were the tithes meant for and who were supposed to pay tithes. It helps us to know that tithing was actually never done with money and GOD actually warned against the use of money.

Chapter 4 merged and grouped all the occurrences of tithe together and some other scripture verses were added where necessary for full story. Additional comments were also made.

Chapter 5 deals with the implications of tithe messages and the wrong effects of doing it monetarily in our contemporary churches. There we observed that tithing has done more damages to the church than any good.

Chapter 6 deals with the fact …show more content…

This is crucial, so we could know how, when, and why tithing came about.

Adam did not tithe. Cain and Abel did not tithe, but they offered free-will offerings unto the LORD (Genesis 4:3–5). Noah did not tithe but also offered a free-will offering unto the LORD (Genesis 8:20). All these people are crucial characters in the early chapters of the Bible, and none of them tithed.

The first mention of anything close to tithing is Genesis 14:20.

And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

The above is King James Version of the Bible. The actual Hebrew word used there is ma`aser, meaning tenth. So the actual translation should be ‘And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tenth of all’. There are several translations that supported this claim:

Worthy of praise is the Most High God, who delivered your enemies into your hand.
Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
(NETfree translation)

And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.

  • Analysis Of Andrew Carnegie's Gospel Of Wealth

    810 Words  | 4 Pages

    When the question of what to do with our wealth is raised to us at the end of our lives we read Andrew Carnegies "Gospel of Wealth." Andrew Carnegie argues that there are only three ways in which one can pass on their wealth. Of these three different ways Andrew Carnegie argues that the way to pass down wealth that is most beneficial to society is when it is administered during the lives of the possessors. I agree with the basis of Carnegie denouncing passing on wealth from father to son, and when the possessors of wealth pass away. Also I agree with the notion that Carnegie believes the only effective way to pass on wealth is within the possessors lifetime.

    John Kenneth Galbraith certainly read Andrew Carnegie's “The Gospel of Wealth” but it is highly doubtful that he agreed with the renown robber baron turned philanthropist. Galbraith would have found Carnegie's method and mindset for bridging the gap between the wealthy and the poor callous and somewhat brutal. Galbraith believed the best way to break the cycle of poverty was by providing poor children with better food, clothing and education. He advocated a minimum income for each family. Carnegie regarded poverty as a character flaw and thought the main goal of charity is to help those who help themselves.

Biblical Scripture states "A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight."

  • Reflection Of Paul's Pneumatology

    1434 Words  | 6 Pages

    Paul’s pneumatology found in his writings has been a matter of interest in recent New Testament scholarship. Gordon Fee has been a great contributor in this area and in Paul, the Spirit and the People of God he outlines the various elements found in Pauline pneumatology giving us greater insight into this subject. In this paper I will highlight some of these elements that are unique to Paul and are not found in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts. The first distinctive of Pauline pneumatology is the way he sees the Spirit as God’s personal presence. For Paul, the coming of the Spirit meant that God had fulfilled the promises He had made to Jeremiah and Ezekiel when He said, ‘I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel’ (Jer. 31:31), and
