RE: SPIRITUAL FOOD 4 THOUGHT - LAYING UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN
Interesting @papa=pepper. So laying up treasures in heaven or giving alms is separate from tithing? Or can that be our tithing? I think of bringing everything to the storehouse - Malachi 3:10. That is tithing to the church right?Is helping on the building fund or project separate from 3:10? Would enjoy your feedback. Enjoy your series.
I think that the modern view of tithing is flawed personally. I do not believe that the old temple/tabernacle and levitical priesthood have been replaced by church buildings and paid clergy. I'll cover more on that later, but I think that alms is one of the main New Testament forms of giving.
If we look at Malachi 3:10 and consider that the storehouse may now be a heavenly ones, then alms would be the way to go if we are going to be "giving to God" with the intent of it ending up in His storehouse.
Thanks for a thoughtful response @papa-pepper
