Tithe and Giving in the Christian Church: Setting the Record Straight: A Biblical Exposition on the Doctrine of Tithe and Christian Giving - Paperback

by Abiodun Christopher Jemilohun (Author)

This book is a genuine attempt to set the record straight concerning tithe and giving in the Church. There are divergent teachings, shades of opinion, and practices regarding tithe and giving in the Church. While some believe a Christian must give a tenth of his income to God regularly in order to secure His favor and escape His curse, others believe this is not necessary since Christ died to make us inherit the blessing of Abraham and deliver us from the Curse of the Law. What then is the true position of the Bible regarding this subject? Should a Christian tithe? Is tithing a necessity for accessing God's blessing? Where is the place of the finished work of Christ? Is the redeemed subject to the Curse of the Law? Why were the Apostles of Christ silent about tithing? Do we need to make pledges and vows in order to obtain God's favor and blessing? What about the firstfruit, do we need to pay to secure God's blessing? Are there principles guiding giving in the New Testament? You will find answers to all these and other related questions in this book. The book was written in an easy-to-read version. Scriptural passages were cited copiously in order to allow the Bible to speak for itself. Important historical records were also cited to unravel the origin of tithing in the Church. To whom was this book written? -Everyone who is interested in knowing the truth -Those who want to know the position of the Bible on the subject -Those who accept the Word of God as the final authority in life and doctrine -All who prefer the Word of God to the traditions of men. I encourage the reader to make all effort to read the book from the beginning to the end because every chapter is a very important part of the whole. This is the only way to get the complete message. Happy reading!
