Dear Elect:

Some thoughts on tithing.

-God has always had things that we are not to touch.
-The tree of knowledge of good and evil was off limits. As an example.
-In Genesis Chap. 28 Jacob vowed to establish god's house with the tenth.
- God said he would set this stone as a pillar before thee to be God's house.
- The tithe therefore became the symbol of the pillar that would establish God's house.
-The true pillar of God's house has now become the cross of Christ. The cross supports God's house, and the tithe is meant to support that which takes the message of the cross to a lost world.-
- To take away from the tithe is to take away from the message of the cross.
-So could it be that the "fruit" that was not to be eaten of in Genesis was the forerunner of the tithe and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was the forerunner of the cross. Could it be that this single tree was reserved, as a symbol, for the cross that was to crucify Christ? If so what irony that the very act of disobedience that doomed mankind came about by eating the fruit of the very tree that would also hoist Christ up to pay for the very act of disobedience that it was initially reserved for by God.
- In conclusion, I cannot be dissuaded that the tree of knowledge of good and evil represented the cross.
