The practice of "tithing" (or giving 10% of your income to church) is common among Christians and often taught as a Biblical command. But should it be understood that way given it's place in the Old Testament Jewish Law? What do Jesus and the New Testament say about tithing - and generosity in general? On this episode of Like Stars, we spend some time looking at the historical roots of tithing, it's place in the Law and what it means for followers of Jesus today.
Also, I offer a slight "correction" from last episode about the purpose of the Law by examining the "purity" or ceremonial laws and their place in the Torah. And, we talk through a difficult passage in the New Testament where Jesus appears to say that God will not forgive those who do not forgive others. Does this mean if you fail to forgive one time you are destined for hell? Listen and find out!
