Why The Priesthood Receives Tithes!127laid down in God’s “word.” If you tithe - but don’t do it in theprescribed manner - then it is still a sin - believe it or not.Whether through The Priesthood of Melchizedek or through TheAaronic Priesthood (through Levi) both had a right to receivetithes from the people. This is all well and good. On a scripturalbasis, entirely too many people merely study the tithing issue onthe surface - and therefore don’t get to the root of the matter.Then, they tend to jump to a conclusion without all of the properbiblical evidence having been gathered on the subject.Yes, it is true that Abraham tithed to Melchizedek (Genesis 14:20).Jacob, also, promised to pay tithes (Genesis 28:22). Under Moses,The Aaronic Priesthood could also receive tithes (Hebrews7:5-10). This is because tithing at that time was based upon a legalsystem that had been set up under God’s direction. Therefore,if one chooses to tithe today, is there anything wrong with tithingto the ministry? This seems to be such a simple question - or isit?The InheritanceWere you aware that tithing has a direct link to God’s purposeon earth? Tithing, from God’s point of view, is a very seriousteaching. The problem is the abuse of God’s original purposefor tithing. God’s Work is an on-going effort to bring individualsto believe on Christ. So Jesus, “being in you” makes you eventuallybecome a Son of God by inheritance. Paul said, “…Christin you, the hope of glory…” (Colossians 1:27).Be sure to read all of Ephesians 1 where God promises this inheritanceto you, so that you can become part of His Family. Inshort, tithing is directly tied to this Law of Inheritance.
