TITHE & TITHING
I'll try & make this as concise as possible.
I know many are bitter about the abuse on the matter.
However as Christians, we should be more focused on what God is saying than on how we feel/want it.
So with open minds let's fix this shall we 💁🏽♂️

1. Types of Tithe
2. Origin of Tithe
3. Seeing that Christ has 'paid it all', is it proper for new testament Believers give Tithe?
Many argue that tithe should be eaten, & they quote Deuteronomy 14v23.
That's because they don't know that there are 3 types of Tithes according to the OT regulation of tithing
To save us the stress of many scriptural references to prove this I'll show you this👇🏽
The yearly tithe consecrated to the LORD & given to the priests. (Lev 27v30, Num 18v28)
Tithe 2.
The Tithe of the 7th year which was sold & eaten. (Deut 14v22-26)
Tithe 3.
The Tithe of the 3rd year given to the Levites & the less privileged. (Deut 14v27-29)
For all it's worth to some, all that is OT regulation.
That was merely the regulation built around tithe, but tithe didn't come from the law.
So let's see the origin of tithe
Abraham the friend of God & the father of all faithful. Every new creation in Christ is Abraham's seed & heirs according to the promise.
Abraham first gave tithe.
Tithe came before the law. Tithe is independent of the law.
Please stay with me..
That means in his days there was nothing like the law of Moses🤷🏽♂️
So to whom did Abraham pay Tithe?
Melchizedek, King of Salem & Priest of the most High God.
Every new creation is a child of Abraham in Christ (Gal 3:29).
Jesus said "if you were Abraham's children you will do what Abraham did."
He was a King-Priest with no trace to any earthly ancestry or kingdom.
Melchizedek was a similitude of the Son of God in the OT, & he remains a priest "forever".
It is reckoned that even Levi paid tithe to this Priest while yet unborn
By tradition, Priests don't come from Judah, except from the tribe of Levi.
Jesus our high priest was called in the order of Melchizedek. An eternal & higher priesthood than Levi.
Scriptural scholars should know where I'm heading already
Jesus is our high priest in the order of Melchizek!
For those who argue that the Levi priesthood is past, you're right. But Tithe is a commitment to the eternal priesthood of Melchizedek not Levi
Tithe began with the eternal priesthood of Melchizedek not Levi. Even Levi paid tithe to this priesthood.
Our father Abraham gave the tithe to the eternal priesthood. We're his seed!
The Law didn't nullify God's Covenant promise to Abraham & his seed (the new creation).
So the existence or Oblivion of the law has nothing to do with tithing & the Promise.
See👇🏽
I believe the origin & the priesthood of tithing should easily answer this already.
Tithing is not a law but a commitment of faith to the eternal priesthood of Christ.
God said, give the tithe that there be "meat in my house" (Malachi 3:10)
Too many complaining about Pastor's eating Tithe but that's God's order.
It's really not your business what they do with it. At the end they have God to answer to.

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
- Unique to your own talents & interests https://t.co/bB3k1YcH5b

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".
The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.
Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)
There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.
At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
Imagine for a moment the most obscurantist, jargon-filled, po-mo article the politically correct academy might produce. Pure SJW nonsense. Got it? Chances are you're imagining something like the infamous "Feminist Glaciology" article from a few years back.https://t.co/NRaWNREBvR pic.twitter.com/qtSFBYY80S
