What The Bible Teaches About Tithing And Giving; Should I Pay Or Give?
The first place in the Bible where the concept of tithing was established was when Abram (later Abraham), was returning from the battle front where he won, and he met Melchizedek on his way.
Who was Melchizedek?
Melchizedek was the ruler of the city called ‘Salem’ at that time and he came out to welcome Abram. Recall that Melchizedek did not welcome him empty handed; he presented bread and wine as welcome gifts.
Why did Melchizedek do this and why bread and wine?
