No. No distinction in Greek. I see such a distortion of the application of ruling today… Either the extreme of exercising lordship or no leadership at all… grievous.

Is there a distinction in Greek or is that a distinction you see? Yeah im not talking about exercising lordship, i’m talking about ministering to spiritual needs.

Taking into consideration what the Scriptures clearly state as to WHO HIS Temple is (capitals used out of respect; I am not yelling:>) And that the Melchizedekian priesthood has superseded the Levitical priesthood, yes the article states what I believe about tithing for the New Covenant believer. And yes, according to the Scriptures, meeting the needs of those who labor in HIS Word and those whom HE may cross your path with is established as well. There is a difference in a “New Testament believer” and a “New Covenant believer”, as I allude to in my answer. Also, the contemporary application of the word “rule” has gotten distorted, hence I hesitate to use it as you did.

Are you saying that tithing according to the Law is not for the New Testament believer(as it is not possible seeing that the levitical priesthood is set aside)? Though the principal remains of take care of the physical needs of those that rule well over you in Spiritual things?

Please don’t misunderstand my comment. I was saying that Abraham is an example of voluntary giving of all…rather than an example of a modern mandate to give 10 percent of a paycheck. I do believe everything is HIS!

Please pray with me that HIS people are encouraged and set free to walk in HIS Truth!

Is it written that Abram gave the 90% to the king of sodom? I missed that! I did neglect to mention that we must keep in mind that 100% of what we have belongs to YHWH! I believe that is part of the example that we have in Abram. It’s almost a type of firstfruits that we see him demonstrating in his giving to Melchizedek, in that he was investing in the Kingdom to come! Be blessed as you seek HIM!
