  • Tracy Q on Malachi 3:8 - 2 years ago
    I'm seeking and searching for the original Bible from the 1600's before verses scripts and chapters were removed from the Bible, there has been studies shown that Malachi was talking to the priest and not the people. I'm not seeking to gain whatsoever I only desire to have a relationship and be close with Christ. When I began giving tithes my life went shipwrecked so I will continue to seek and continue my faith walk.

    God Bless

    Tracy, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    There is more than enough in today's KJV to know TRUTH.

    Most don't study. You can't know without study; ALSO, you can't know without THE SPIRIT revealing it to you.

    The tithes in the Old Testament were always products (firstfruits) of the land, livestock, grain, olive oil, etc. (not money). These were given to the priests to have food to eat, because they received no land inheritance to grow and raise their own food.

    Malachi wasn't rebuking the people for not tithing, but for bring polluted tithes, sick cattle, spoiled grain, etc. that was not life sustaining for the priest.

    The tithe is no longer in effect because the Levitical priesthood no longer exist.

    We are now under grace and you GIVE (not required as was the tithe) from the goodness of your heart.

    Under the New Covenant; we are the firstfruits of the land, and we are POLLUTED and not accepted of the lord as an offering of RIGHTEOUSNESS. ENTER Christ WHO MAKES US an acceptable offering of RIGHTEOUSNESS to the Lord.
