100% Proof Tithing Is Not Biblical

My good friend Matt Mason needs your helping fighting Lyme Disease. gofund.me/eb3d...
Get my notes: api.leadconnec...
He was infected while on a missions trip to India and life as he knew it was destroyed. I don't usually ask people for money but this is an opportunity for you to support a person in need instead of giving to mega church pastors.
Many mega churches and organizations such as Hillsong teach and insist that they are entitled to ten percent of their congregations income. Every person in their church is instructed to tithe from their income. But its not biblical. People are brought up in church from a very young age believing that they have to tithe. But should Christians tithe? Well, strictly speaking it is impossible for us to tithe today the way that God commanded Israel to tithe because tithes were given to the Levites and tithes could only ever be farm produce from the land of Israel. It always frustrates me when people like Dave Ramsey claim that God will bless you if you tithe to your local church. There were no local church buildings in the New Testament. People like Joel Osteen and Stevan Furtick did not exist. There were no mega church pastors with millions and millions of dollars and there were no mega churches. There were no church buildings at all. People like Micahel Todd, Robert Morris, Creflo Dollar and other false teachers make millions of dollars deceiving simple people into thinking that they need to tithe from their income. These false teachers need to get a good dose of the bible and they need to get saved.

[@lijahboy1728]

Since being born again I have had a desire to give to my church, the poor and missions I don't think tithing is mandated but joyfully and sacrificially give more than 10%. I don't do this so I will be blessed, I do it because I have been blessed.

[@treefellonya]

@@kimberlyd7398 You show a fundamental lack of understanding of what money is, just like this KZbinr. Money- Money is a medium for efficient exchange. You may have corn that I cannot or will not grow. I have a skill, such as building a house that you are incapable of. Thus, we trade those things to each other. But, you don't need to carry a bushel of corn, and I don't need to carry a hammer and nails. Our money does the same exchange. I need corn, but not right now, and you need a house, maybe very soon. Or maybe I don't want your corn. I want your neighbors wheat, but he doesn't need a house. Your neighbor wants corn, but you want bananas. All of us by our labor have now a medium of exchange that we can use to buy what we need. It is still trade. It is just done through a uniform medium of exchange that represents what we have that is of value to someone else. Therefore, we are, in essence, trading your example of spices, food, etc. Jesus expects us to be self sacrificial. He won't force you, but the Bible says to present your bodies as a living sacrifice. It says to _deny_ yourself and to take up your cross _daily_ or you cannot be His disciple. In other words, you probably should be giving enough that it feels like a real sacrifice, that you are denying what you want in order to help others. Technically, the NT requires much more of you than the OT!!

I always remember the widow with the mite and Jesus said she gave out of heart and the rest gave out of abundance.

OMG. Sir you have hit the nail squarely on the head. I have listened to more than 100 teachers and pastors over the years hoping to hear this truth from them but 95% of the time I hear only half truths or outward lies. I discovered this truth after a simple study of the tithe about 30 yrs ago and since then, only about 3% of the teachings I come across mention this very important truth. The tithe under the Mosaic law was a tenth of the increase of the land. The cattle farmers had a slightly different way of measuring their tithe but is was done under the direction of the Lord Himself. In other words, only the owners of inherited land were required to tithe of what the land produced period. Very well done sir.

I agree with the comments on this page. Did you know that, concerning giving, or tithing, or prosperity, Malachi 3:8-12 is not the full counsel of God? It is an excerpt, quoted to the church for centuries (believe it or not), which is a misrepresentation of God's counsel. We've accepted it because that's what we have always been taught. Here are a few points to consider. -- Who did God appoint to receive tithes? God said, "And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth [the tithe] in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation (Numbers 18:21-23). In this scripture, God established who receives the tithe (the Levites), and why they received it (they received no inheritance, and they served in the temple). This assignment is exclusive to Levites. A pastor cannot assume this assignment, he has never been scripturally assigned by God to collect tithes, he is not a Levite. In that same sense, only a Levite, never a pastor, could ever serve in a Jewish temple. The church has not replaced the Jewish temple, and pastors have not replaced Levites. -- People are blessed when they give, not because of Malachi 3, which is based on the Law of Moses, an Old Testament law that has been replaced by Grace under Christ, at the cross. They are blessed because Jesus said, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you" (Luke 6:38). It is this principle of giving and receiving at work, when we give and are blessed. Not the expired law of tithing, which was required of the Jews (never Gentiles), and could only be received by Levite priests because they received no inheritance and were set apart to work fully in the Jewish temple. -- There is much more to this, such as Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek, Jacob's promise to tithe, the history of when and why the New Testament church tithes (there is actually a date!), and the scriptures that speak to these issues. To be clear, every pastor has a right to collect offerings in support of the ministry; I fully agree with supporting the church financially. But our giving must be godly. It is wrong to require people to tithe, contrary to the scriptures, then say that we live according to the scriptures. Four biblical truths, regarding tithing: (1) There is no scripture that authorizes anyone but a Levite to receive tithes. (2) There is no scripture that authorizes a pastor to receive tithes. (3) There is no scripture that requires a Gentile to tithe. (4) There is no scripture that requires the church to tithe.

You cannot out give Jesus how do you think the church feeds the poor takes care of the widows orphans missions etc etc it's not our money we are just stewards

[@randyrush9856]

Much of what you state is true, as I have also researched these issues for many, many years. But any parishioner who chooses to use a church building rather than their own home or a place of business, etc... ought to help out with the cost of support as they too benefit from the uses of such facilities. I mean, don't you appreciate the comfy chairs, the A/C, the lights or running water in the laboratory, and drinking fountain? How about the work in volved in managing the place (Our church has a part-time custodian), and the hours spent by your pastor preparing a sermon, or office work? It's not like the pastor gets to keep the building if he moves on or passes away. The building really belongs to the community of believers who use it as long as it is still active.

This is really good teaching and it's a blessing to hear. It's amazing how many things have been distorted by the church but I've found such joy by searching the scriptures for myself. I also came to the same conclusion that the poor and the widow and the needy are the ones we should be giving towards. Great message.

[@DUZCO10]

They’ve been distorted because false churches come to their own conclusion. ONE man comes to his own conclusions of the Word and goes off and declares himself a pastor and twist the Bible to their fallible understanding. 2 Peter 1:20 which states: "Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation." I will say obviously not all are false churches. There is a true church. 1 Timothy 3:15 says "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." I know the true church to be the church who gave us the New Testament. And they do not require a tithe.

Many churches have taken full advantage of this misinterpreted scripture regarding tithing. Also, God says that it is much better to give than to receive. That was referring to what's in your heart. Not tithing money. We are to give our everything for God e.i. Love, kindness, friendship, mental support, food, a job, fixing things for someone and most importantly, prayer.. He doesn't mean every help has to be with money all the time. Bc He knows people take advantage of that all the time.

So if we are redeemed from the curse of the law, how can we be cursed if we don't pay the tithe?

Do you have a job? If you do, do you expect to get paid? It doesn’t say in the New Testament to tithe but if you don’t give to the church, who pays the bills and pay for the pastor? He and his family has to pay electrical, food, gas, and clothing bills. How is he supposed to do that without pay? If he has to get a job to do all that it takes him away from time spent with his parishioners and you all suffer. Also, a good church supports missionaries so all the money doesn’t just go to the pastor but it is used to spread the gospel throughout the world.

The home church setting can be a very good thing. We started as one and have a small congregation now that meets at a different location. You can quickly outgrow a home. The other guy commenting on your post seems to take exception with your comment regarding the negotiations for a preacher. I have a lot of thoughts on this, but I'll just say that if a preacher is more concerned about vehicle allowances and is not willing to negotiate his salary, then be careful. I am a preacher and I've seen preachers fleece churches. A lot of people out there are preaching or involved in the mission field for nothing more than the money. Maybe they didn't start out that way, but it happens, unfortunately. But the churches are a mess right now, generally speaking. It's unfortunate and there is plenty of blame to go around. Preachers are very often mistreated and abused by the congregations that pay them, while on the flip side, some preachers want far more than can be paid, or even more than they are worth. In my experience, the church functions great when people actually act like Christians and put the church first. It never works when people decide to put themselves first.

Every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom in the matter of participating in tithing and/or how much to give (James 1:5).

The chuch isn't in need, the needy, the widows and fatherless and motherless need help, the church sits on their money, or uses it to expand itself, does some good works but that wasn't the churchs job, it's our job, you can support your church of course but a pastor can have his own job, use someone's home to meet at, and what money it collects can be put back into the community

[@josebundrick]

I heard this specifically from my old church, that shows their bank statement of how much the church has, that a man walked into our church giving a sob storie, needing help, out of work, can't pay bills, and my pastor said because he didn't belong to our church that he turned him away. I didn't understand how wrong that was then but I remember the bank statement was at 1,000,000$ but he turned the man away. The bible says turn not away them that would ask of you anything. But the church was using that money to expand the building, it's functions, and what do we call that in business? Growing your company.

[@FloresJonners]

You should try to home church.

[@Thesportsobserver2738]

Yes, you can give to your church but freely, paying tithes that's not free giving that's a command your pastor is putting on you tithe was never money in the old testament it was food and everything from your land, not income based. And just think about it they say you don't have to do all the other things in the bible no more like in the old testament you was supposed to keep sabbath days and don't eat pork, then when you bring that up they go ahead and say that's old testament we don't have to keep them laws anymore, but when it comes to tithing oh yeah we got to keep that law though how convenient lol.

[@Combat11245]

I give ten percent because I want to. I know tithing is not mentioned in the new testament. In 1 Cor. 16:2 Paul says "Upon the first day of the week let everyone of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings ( collecting) when I come. No one should feel compelled by a man to give if they can't afford to give. God is not a taskmaster. He is your father and he loves you. The money you earn is yours. If you can afford two pennies, give two pennies. It's between you and your heavenly Father. Don't be confused and feel less than you ought. God is not the author of all the confusion we are reading about concerning the subject of tithing. Peace to you all and pray always.

I can say this, I have always tithed and even put my last dollar in. I know I’m always taken care of bc God has never let me do without. He has blessed me. 2 Corinthians 9:6 “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” 7 “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” You tithe where you are fed the true word of God. God doesn’t look down on those who can’t tithe. God wants us to take care of our bills, medicines, groceries and to have until the next check. Only if you have it to give. It’s not a requirement but only if you can. Doing a go fund me is no different than tithing. You are giving out of your heart if you have it. It’s no different if you give to a church that is teaching truth to help pay for the utilities or satellite to go around the world to teach truth where truth is not taught. You’re not supposed to support a church that is not teaching truth.

[@iThinkBiblically]

I can say that I’ve not tithed for 15+ years and I’ve been taken care of too and I am very blessed. I noticed an instant increase of 10% when I stopped and so did everyone else I know who stopped. Praise God. Also, the verse you quoted is about giving to the poor not to a church business. Check out verse 9. It’s interesting that most pastors read up to verse 8 then skip verse 9 and read verse 10. Todd White did it a while ago, and so the the local mega church pastor here in Adelaide South Australia. Very deceitful.

[@lesliecrawford1336]

@@iThinkBiblically I can say this, where I tithe, the pastor doesn’t take a pay check. He teaches nothing but truth. They have their own satellite and own channel network. God has blessed them with many members and those members know the true word of God. They are from all over the world. To this day, the man that started it has passed away, but his teachings never will. God has blessed that church to keep the truth going. His son does it now. I truly believe he was a remnant. There’s nothing wrong with giving money to a church to support truth and to keep it going. Nowhere does it say you can’t give to a church either. It’s what one’s heart feels the need to do.

[@rohipsalm2370]

No you are incorrect. PAUL instructed us to give as you PURPOSE in your heart. The LORD loves A cheerful giver. Paul said not to give grudgingly or out of NECESSITY. 2corithians 9:7. ThaT means give whatever GOd puts in ur heart whether it's to the homeless on the street or waever ministry He leads you to GIVE. I've Tithe for so many years and I never saw the windows of heaven open up like it was said in Malachi. Alot of church organizations use that to force you to give to their building and the Pastors salary. When God opened my eyes several years about the lie of tithing AND the Giving under the NEW TESTAMENT I have given so much more than I did with my tithes and offering. In other words FREEDOM in my giving and most importantly to the POOR. No where in the NEW TESTAMENT does it say to give 10%. Remember we are under a NEW COVENANT! Just GIVE AS YOU PURPOSE IN YOUR HEART. ALOT OF TIMES YOU WILL BE BLESSED TO GIVE MORE THAN YOU THOUGHT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE ANOINTING of GIVING IS THERE.

[@donaldgodin3491]

Tithing is biblical, in the sense that it was a law under Moses. But as a law, it has nothing to do with the people in the church of Jesus Christ, for we are not under the Law, but under grace. Romans 6:14 We are saved by faith, without works! Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 2, verses 8,9. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

[@WH6FQE]

What people miss about the second tithe, that was for yourself, and your family. Not to be given to others. That was so that your family could celebrate the feasts, and there were two each year, not just one, so it was a tithe twice per year.

[@gabrielemcmeans9071]

My husband and I are slowly leaving our church because of tithing. Our pastor is really big on tithing and even though it’s not a requirement, those who don’t give at least 10% are looked down on. My husband and I didn’t give much because neither of us felt called to. Recently our pastor started a young adult class (it’s really just me, my husband, and the pastor). He’s put a very big emphasis on tithing and how we need to tithe in order to receive blessings. So my husband and I looked at our church spending records over the past couple months and it’s insane! Our church is very small (25 people average) and we have over 150k in the bank. Of course this made us really mad since whenever there’s a family in our community all the church can scrounge up is $100. I understand the church has expenses but the church isn’t even following their own 10% rule

[@Bryntjones]

You are 100% right about this topic. There is, however mention by Paul that those who devote themselves to the Gospel have a right to be supported by those they minister to. But, he also set an example of not exercising that right. He was helped with various needs at different times, but never wanted to be a burden, or for people to think he was in it for the money. Sooo fsr removed from the message that gets pounded into our heads with regularity from so many Christian sources.

[@ken440]

and i am another. you not alone bro. I had this one out 20 years ago in my fellowship, and had to leave. The main tithe we learn in the laws of moses, was the family held its tenth of all produce and income and went with it and had a big party in honour of their God, if they had to go a long way they were to sell it and just carry the money, so when they got there they bought good celebratory food and "strong drink" and had their big party. Only every three years did they put it at their gate to be collected for payment to priests and orphans and widows. As they were a theocracy this is obviously govt tax. That was the way that the law taught in OT. If our church teaches tithe then why not this biblical method??? even so its a third of ten percent annually if they want us to give to pastor without the party fun.

Hebrew 7:12/paraphrased..."When the PRIESTHOOD was changed, the LAW must be changed/replaced as well."... Who is the New High Priest of God?... Christ Jesus... Which Law needed/ required to be changed/replaced?... The Law of Moses... Whose New Law needs to be obeyed and followed now?... The Law of Christ... For Christians, we do not obey and follow the Law of Moses, but must obey and follow the Law of Christ... 1. Christians do not need to offer ANIMAL BURNT sacrifices for the atonement of their Sins, 2. NO requirement for CIRCUMCISION to be accepted as People of God, 3. NO MEAT restrictions as long as we give Prayers of Thanksgiving to God (before and after each meal), 4. NO more TITHINGS (1/10TH) but by Cheerful givers from their Hearts, 5. NO DIVORCE but temporary separation due to infidelity/domestic violence, 6. NO Jewish SATURDAY (7th day of the week) Sabbath but the Sabbath of the Son of Man (Christ) which is SUNDAY (1st Day of the Week), the "Resurrection Day of Christ"... why?... for Christ said, "anything we do, we must put God 1ST."... (Matt. 6:33) "Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom and His (God) Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."... So, before we start our weekly chores and work to earn an honest living, we must go/attend the Church Celebration on SUNDAY, to worship, glorify, praise, and thank God first... Just to name a few... Amen. In conclusion, it is not Christ Jesus who allowed these things to happen when Christ said, "I did not come to destroy (change/replace) the Law (Law of Moses) but to Fulfill."... It was Solely the Authority and decision of God (YHWH) that allowed them to happen... Amen.

[@hopeofeternallife686]

Thanks for these teachings brother. Giving 'cheerfully' is the norm in New Testament, it's crystal clear, yet those who can't give due to financial circumstances are made to feel guilty at times and are often cited the example of the widow giving two mites out of her poverty. I am not against supporting gospel servants and churches, scripture instructs us to do so. Also I haven't heard a preacher anyone preach these scriptures: Matthew 19:21 - Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Proverbs 19:17 - He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Some Pastors say the 10% belongs to the church and what you do for the poor should be separate from that.

[@jeohvanydelgado7125]

10 percent belongs to God ! give it to where you get fed spiritually or give it to the poor, I had some money that I promised to God I was going to tithe it to my church- but thank God for my wife !

And to add that you obey a doctrine that you're in error about, yet you don't obey other scriptures like not being quarrelsome, creating decention and divisions, or correcting your opponents with kindness and gentleness (2 Tim. 2:22-26), that would be hypocrisy friend.
