I wonder if Jonah thought like you did, when he fled from the Lord because he didn't want to go to the pagan and gentile city of Nineveh and cry repentance to them, as commanded by the Lord? The Lord was most certainly concerned with them and their welfare.

Jonah thought they should be destroyed because they weren’t God's people, even after they did repent, he was mad that the Lord spared them.

All are God's children, and he knows when even the smallest sparrow falls.

God did not require it of the pagan gentiles in the city of Nineveh to tithe; remember this thread is about tithe; not directly about God's grace to the gentiles of Nineveh; which He did perform to His glory.

If you want to discuss the Grace of God throughout the ages, then let's start up a thread to that effect.

I am not wrong on the basis of what Jonah thought; nor am I wrong on the basis of God's Grace to the gentiles in ages past.

But Biblically speaking, I am correct in regards to tithes not required by pagan gentiles.
