The Sabbath also preceded the law, being established in the days of creation and given to Israel before the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai (Exo. 16). It is a means of honoring and emulating the Creator. So why teach the tithe and not the Sabbath?
FOURTH COMMANDMENT. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
And as has already been stated.
Genesis 2
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
It was a day of rest.
The Sabbath is the only holy day (holiday) we are commanded to keep, yet it was changed to Sunday hundreds of years ago for political reasons
And Christians are being told they must worship a dozen other days as holy days but leave out the only holy day god really commanded every one to keep.
As far as i know the paying of tithes is not a commandment but was a law for Israel as a nation.
There is nothing in the new covenant about paying or giving tithes but only alms which was not to be recorded or even kept track of by the giver.
At first this would have been hard for me to write because there are many preachers whom i dearly love but i can not have fellowship with a Church that has more laws than Jesus himself followed and ignore the ones that were commanded by God.
Yes, but I think it goes a little deeper than that.
Isa 58:13 "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words,
Isa 58:14 Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken."
This has to do with recognizing and living in the holiness of the day. In my understanding and experience the sabbath and the feast days of the Lord are absolutely infused with his presence that is on a level above and beyond his presence in our lives at other times. The verses above are basically instructing us to find and recognize that holiness, to live it and breathe it and forget about what man's considers "restful". Sleep all day? Well that might make us feel better physically but there's not really a spiritual component to it. Worship on the sabbath is part of finding it a delight...part of recognizing and honoring what God made holy.
