"DOES MONEY STAND BETWEEN YOU AND GOD?"
I Corinthians 16
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I
directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also.
On the first day of every week let each one of you
put aside and save, as he may prosper, that no
collections be made when I come.
And when I arrive, whomever you may approve, I

Jerusalem;
And if it is fitting for me to go also, they will
go with me.

The receiver and distributor of the gifts: the storehouse--the local

The responders in giving: everyone of you. Everyone has something to

The ratio of giving: As God has prospered.
Then we broke it down to giving before Moses' time. There are two
kinds of giving: required and free will.
Then we took it from Moses to Jesus: required and free will. Now we
want to pick up from the time of Jesus to the present. What about
Jesus' teaching about giving in the New Testament? There are two
kinds there also: 1) Pay your taxes. 2) Give whatever God wants you
to, and whatever you want.

Jesus talks about taxation. One time He told Peter to go down to the
lake, take a fish, and in its mouth would be a coin to pay the tax.
