To tithe or not to tithe that is the question. Is tithing Scripture? Is the New Testament Church to tithe? What will happen if you don’t tithe? Is the tithing of today’s church Scripture?
Just for the reason we have heard today’s tithing teaching for years and years doesn’t makes it Scripture. Today’s tithing has no Scripture foundation. It is more putting pieces together and making it say what they want it to say. Those who teach tithing don’t understand Biblical Tithing.
In Leviticus chapter 27:30,32 says “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s. It is holy to the LORD. And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.
There are only two groups of people who were only allowed to tithe. Only two groups! They were the framers and the rancher; they were the only ones who were to tithe. And they were only to tithe food. And only those framers and ranchers who lived in the promise land were only allowed to tithe.
This means that Jesus Christ our Lord never tithes! This means that Peter the Apostle never Tithes! This means that Paul the Apostle never tithes! This mean the church in the book of Acts never tithes!
In Malachi 3:8-12 tell us to tithe or else we have robbed the Lord and we are then cursed. Yes there are some people who preach or teach just like this beside, there are others who leave out the bad parts, and only teach that we are to tithe. First and foremost we know that we are not under this rule, for we don’t live in the promise land and we don’t have Levities the priesthood of the old covenant, to tithe too. This tithe was taking every three years, this was called the poor tithe to help the Levite, stranger, fatherless, and the widow. –(Deut. 14:28-29)
Now we come to the New Testament were Jesus says only a few words, but never tell His disciples to tithe. And in Hebrews it talks about how Abraham gives tithes to Melchizedek, others use this to tell us that we are to tithe today. But the truth is that Abraham only tithes that which belongs to the King of Sodom that he helps return back to the King of Sodom, and the tithe to Melchizedek was a tax for the service of their land and water. –(Heb. 7:1-10)
Now Paul who was a Pharisee knows the law, and he doesn’t tell Christians to tithe, not at all. What did he teach instead of tithing? He teach grace giving, that Christians are to give, but when they give, give willing and give through grace. –(2 Cor. 8,9)
Grace giving is better then tithing, grace giving will give more blessings then tithing, and grace giving is a form of worship that the Lord receives. In grace giving, the Lord gives you the seed to give; you give in grace, faith, willing heart, worship, and a cheerful heart.
The tithing of today is not Scriptural, has no Scripture foundation, and has no biblical basis, however, it’s based on man’s teaching and religion. No man, no preacher, no teacher, and no pastor have the authority from God or from the Word of God to command you to tithe! You are free from this tithing system of today, no longer be in bondage to man’s system of church.
Yes those who tithe, tithe out of faith. It is not the tithe that Lord blesses; it is they’re giving. However, if they give according to grace giving they will be more blessed.
Are we to give? Yes giving is a Christian lifestyle, giving is a lifestyle that we are to learn and to become a doing in faith. You are to give according as you prosper, and you are to give with the seed He gives you, and you are to give what your purposed in your heart, and you are to give with a willing heart, and you are to give with a cheerful heart.
