    ok dude jacob and his tithing.....whats 10% of nothing. yea nothing. just like if God did'nt bless me with the job i have now how could i give? So if God blesses me then i will tithe BECAUSE i will have it not because he dont deserve it. Grow up man.
     

    Dear Guitarman:
    "...what's 10% of nothing?" "NOTHING," you say? Jacob had NOTHING? What are the facts?
     
    [1]  "And Abraham was VERY RICH in cattle, in silver, and in gold" (Gen. 13:2). Had THREE HUNDRED and eighteen trained servants, (Gen. 14:14), Etc.
     
    [2]  "And Abraham gave ALL THAT HE HAD UNTO ISAAC" (Gen. 25:5)!
     
    [3]  And Isaac gave it to JACOB! "And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, behold, I have made him [JACOB] THY  L-O-R-D,  AND  A-L-L  HIS BRETHREN HAVE I GIVEN HIM FOR SERVANTS, and with CORN AND WINE I sustained him..."  (Gen. 27:;37
     
    [4]  And YOU, "Guitarman," have not a clue as to what you are talking about, and maybe YOU need to "grow up" before you start demeaning other people about things you are totally ignorant of.
    God be with you,
    Ray

    ok.....and i say again 10% of nothing is nothing. so for abe. to tithe livestock......he must have livestock. therefore God bless me with livestock and ill give it back to you. anything else?


    Dear Guitarman:  Slow down, take a couple of deep breaths, and let's try this once more. I didn't take the time to look up those Scriptures and answer you back for my health--it was for your benefit.  It was not "abe" [Abraham?] who asked God to to bless him with livestock--he already had much livestock before he went to war with the nations, but he didn't tithe ANYTHING EVER on his own possessions.  Abraham was ALREADY RICH before he attacked the nations and gave Sodom back their goods. And Jacob was ALREADY RICH (did you not read or follow ANYTHING that I write to you with Scriptural references?) before....I said BEFORE he asked God to bless him with even MORE, and then and only then would he return a tenth back to God. Now do you understand the foolishness of your "10% of nothing is nothing" statement? Good.

    God be with you,
