True or False

"Did Jesus pay our tithes"?


Maybe He showed us how to give, by the example He gave?

"You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that although He was very rich, yet He became poor, that we, through His poverty, might be rich." (2 Cor 8:9)

"On the first day of the week let each one of you put aside and save, as he may have prosper, that no collections be made when i come" 1Corinthians 16:2

Wasn't this a collection for the needy saints in Jerusalem and not necessarily meaning to be a weekly collection for the everyday work of the local church? Paul has asked that no collections be made after he comes. So did it end there as far as this collection goes?

Ollie:

We need to tie this in with 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9.  BTW there are still needy saints in our local assemblies both here and abroad, so the principle remains.  Christian giving is primarlity for the relief of needy saints, widows, and orphans, as well as for the support of those who "labour in the Word and doctrine"  -- evangelists, pastors, and teachers. If all gave according to the teachings of the Lord and the apostles, then there would be more than enough for God's work on earth.

We need to quit ignoring and shooting our wounded.
