Deuteronomy 16:17 and What it means to Tithing!!

 

Deuteronomy 16:17: And What it Means to All People!!

By Anthony Joseph Hopkins June 16, 2022

        Deuteronomy 16:17 states that every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.  This particular Bible verse is in the Mosaic Laws.  However, I want to inform everyone that God is being very flexible when it comes to paying tithes and offerings.  I did not know that tithes are supposed to be added to the household budget.  For example, if a person is earning $1,026.00 per month, this means that we will have to pay $126.00 per month in tithes and offerings.

        Next, I want to say that this particular Bible verse is no longer emphasized.  This is simply because we are under the New Covenant.  Although this Bible verse is very nice and generous.  I know that everyone has to pay according as he wishes.  Basically, we are making God angry with us when we do not pay tithes and offerings.  My overall bills come up to $1,026.00 dollars per month.  If I include my tithes and offerings, I will have to pay a total of $126.00 per month. 

Further, I want to inform all of you that some people in Moses time did not have income.  They utilized livestock, silver, and gold.  To be honest, the wages that people earned was not worth anything.  I am not criticizing the way that God did His business.  It is that people worked an entire day for wages.  This is the reason why I wrote an essay concerning people who earned fix incomes do they still have to pay tithes and offerings?  The answer to this question is yes. 

Moreover, I really feel that some of the Old Testament Bible Verses should be emphasized in today’s times.  Right now, it is not very easy for anyone who earns a Disability Check to pay tithes and offerings.  Some do and some do not pay anything to the Church that they attend each week.  I know that my life at this moment has been complicated.  My life has been complicated because I owe student loans and other debts. 

Finally, I want to say that at least God is very flexible with everyone.  I do not want to make God angry with me ever again.  To be honest, I will have to include my 10% of my income to pay tithes and offerings.  I really think God is really giving everyone a break because I have some valuables that I can sell each month for money.  I have a Books are called My Grace is Sufficient for me, and Essays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  My book is not selling because I could not afford the marketing fees to market my book.  My book is small, and I feel that I can at least accomplish a goal for God.  To be completely honest with all of you, I owe $22,500 dollars in student loans from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  I was enrolled in school only for a short period of time.  I graduated from the University of Toledo on June 12, 1993 and June 17, 1995 respectively.  I earned my degree from The University College. 

In Conclusion, I want to inform all of you that I am doing the best I can just to pay bills and survive.  May the God of Peace be with all of you.  I really feel that I have selected an essay that comes right out of the Bible.  It might be from the Old Testament, but I feel that I have knowledge and experience when it comes to the Bible.
