This morning, I was reading Matthew 15: 1-10, and came across the term, Corban vow. The footnote states: "Anyone who made a Corban vow was required to dedicate money to God's temple." Sounds like tithing. What's wrong with it?
It seems that the people were using it as a point of honor to see who could give the most. Some people were giving more than their budget would allow. In fact, they were neglecting their parents. Jesus reminded them of the commandment to honor their parents.
