I am sorry but that was very artful and I can only recall the reasoning of another...
Don't mean any disspect but it when one thinks of it one can only think of a example of a famous person who loved to pars words....(not that you are intentionally)
It all depends on the meaning of is is?
Unless I misunderstood you
"It all started with one little independent free floating thought that ran through my mind. I won’t say God told me this..."
"I personally found it necessary to repent from tithing."
"So then what am I saying? Am I saying don’t tithe? Yes I am. In fact, if we do tithe, if we do claim this part of the law to be required under the new covenant, do we not require all parts of the law to be obeyed? And if not, how then do we determine which portions of the law should be obeyed and which need not be?"
I pray you will ponder this again at another time and ask God what you should do and not your depend on your rationalizing!
Jesus paid the ransom and made the atonement and what have you done to show gratitude decide that tithing was included too!
I would like to address this in another that is not so long!
I laught not at you, but the one who plants these seeds in our minds...some times it is best to go back to the scripture to make sure you are not being caused to stumble!
Now I might have missed understood what you ment by sowing seeds
IMHO
When it comes to tithing this law was never with drawn as you read the scriptures!
I do believe one should work through their church for the Lord blesses the giver, and if the receiver misuses the Lord money they are in trouble with the Lord not you!
These are all the scriptures I could gleam on tithing!
