[@truthbetold8610]

. At no time were first-century Christians commanded to pay tithes. The primary purpose of the tithing arrangement under the Law had been to support Israel’s temple and priesthood; consequently the obligation to pay tithes would cease when that Mosaic Law covenant came to an end as fulfilled, through Christ’s death on the torture stake. (Eph 2:15; Col 2:13, 14) As Christians, they were encouraged to give support to the Christian ministry both by their own ministerial activity and by material contributions. Instead of giving fixed, specified amounts to defray congregational expenses, they were to contribute “according to what a person has,” giving “as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2Co 8:12; 9:7)

[@markb7067]

Thank you for the questions and commentary. My responses follow: Are Christians required to tithe? No. But there's nothing wrong with choosing to do so either. Today's version of tithing earned wages to a "church", or for any form of evangelism, has no biblical precedent so it can't be seen as any biblical act of obedience. What was tithing? Biblical, systematic (God-required) tithes were taxes that were only submitted as consumable items and were specifically purposed towards the Levitical theocracy, the poor (every 3 years) and for consumption at the festivals (as they occurred). Systematic (God-required) tithes began in Leviticus 27:30 and were facilitated through ceremonial and civil ordinances under Mosaic Law that are now obsolete under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:13). How did tithing exist "pre-law"? There's no mention of tithing in the bible prior to Genesis 14 and there's no biblical evidence that Abram's one-time submission of war spoils or Jacob's contingent offer to tithe was required by God. Jacob's contingent offer to tithe serves as evidence that systematic (God-required) tithing didn't exist at that time or prior. However, there's historical evidence tithing was a pagan practice even before the bible and during. What Cain and Able submitted were offerings, not tithes. The two are not the same. The "first fruits" were heave offerings, not systematic tithes. How did tithing exist "post-law"? There's no biblical evidence Jesus required tithing under the New Covenant or any mention that the prior tithing ordinances had been amended to include money as a tithe deliverable. There's also no biblical evidence that Jesus ever tithed, received a tithe or left any instructions on how anyone would do so after his resurrection. In Mathew 23:23 Jesus is chastising the Pharisees while defining legalistic tithing as something less than moral, spiritual issues. The Pharisees were only tithing consumable items as the law required at the time, and this was prior to the New Covenant which rendered the Old Covenant system of atonement and the ceremonial and civil ordinances such a tithing under Mosaic Law, obsolete. The book of Malachi must be read in context. In Malachi 1:6 and 2:1 the narrative is confined to the Levitical Priests. Only Levites could enter the temple storehouse. The tithe indictments in chapter 3 can not be universally applied either historically or currently and none of those indictments had anything to do with money, although there's ample evidence money existed and wages were earned during those times (Haggai 1:6). The "floodgates of heaven" has nothing to do with money. It's a reference to rain, which would naturally increase crops of produce. Only consumable items were accepted as a biblical, systematic tithe deliverable. God isn't a mob boss or a slot machine. So no, I can't agree that tithing is intended to release a supernatural favor from God. The Prosperity Gospel is nonsense and it ends up exploiting the very people we should be helping. There's no biblical minimum or limit to what we can give, but we are free to give, not bound to pay.

[@michaelmerck7576]

I'm with you on that

[@Siddylynn]

This is something I have prayed about and asked God to show me. I give all I can but also help my family. I have been single for years and I am the only one my daughter and granddaughter have in close family. The Bible also says to help your own household first or you are worse than a non-believer. I worked in a ministry and understand the need to spread the Gospel. I have given to as many as 3 ministries at once the one my granddaughter attended when I was in another state, my church and the ministry I worked with "a Christian school in another country". The most I could and God has blessed me in many ways. It has been the best I could do and continue to help the family. But when I hear tithing taught in church, I always feel guilty.

If we are New Testament believers. Why we leave out all the Old Testament law and we picked only tithe and bring it to the New Testament law. The bible say if you believe in one part of the law you have to believe the whole law. You can’t believe in one part of the law and leave out the rest of the law. This is the problem with going to Bible School. To many different teachings and we don’t know who is right and who is wrong. At the end of the day they only confused us with their theology.

As a believer of the Apostolic Church I was taught to tithe and so I have always been a tither, however, I believe that the Matthew statement is made because both Jesus and the young man are under the law. Paul taught the Gentile church to be a cheerful, generous, not grudgingly giver as we purpose in our hearts. I don't believe that Paul would think that these young believers would automatically know to pay tithes especially because they were Gentile believers not Jewish. I honestly don't believe Paul would miss telling the church something so important, particularly since he was being led by the Spirit.

What you mentioned about Jesus telling to the Pharisees about tithing he did not approve nor disapprove it. But what Jesus said about a rich man and a widow how they give their tithing to the church. It is simply saying that when you give , you give it wholehearted that you have to dig deeper on your pocket until it hurts you financially. What is wrong is when the preacher is living in luxury with his or her family while his or her followers are living in poverty. Preachers should imitate Jesus and his disciples how they live their lives while preaching the words of God.

Tithing to a large church is risky because it might go to paying off the bill the church owes the bank for building construction instead of going to missionaries or to the homeless ministry or shelter or feeding people etc!

I don't tithe money- wise. I use my hands to make quilts, rugs, knitwear etc to give to worthwhile charities, such as Domestic Violence, the elderly, homeless etc. I do give money to some charities and to the Fellowship I attend It is hard for some pensioners to tithe, these days, there rent, food, etc costs have risen drastically. To me the Lord loves the cheerful giver, I have given him my life and am now not into legalism. Most giving in churches ihad attended goes towards, rates , paying off the loans etc. etc. . I think God understands the individual ......🤗🙏

[@Siddylynn]

I see that way too Beverly. A wealthy person that tithes but never serves otherwise compared to a person who serves and gives what they can is just as much to me.

[@beverleyhudson9723]

@@Siddylynn As I have increased given to more charities, I have now realised I give more than a tenth money wise. the Lord has been gracious by giving me the ability to share, and not focus on the tithe but to give with a generous heart. All I have belongs to God and I am thankful to Him, He gets the Glory always. Many blessings to you.

[@cherylshaw4206]

What about the people who barely have enough to cover their own needs and expenses. Does it make me a bad Christian if I don't have any extra to give. Does God look down on me for that reason?

[@kris78787]

No he doesn’t look down on you. In the book of Acts everyone shared all they had with each other and no one was lacking.

1 Paul never tells 1 person to tithe Peter never tells 1 person tithe there is not record that Jesus told anyone to tithe other then tell the Pharisees they had to keep the entire law and look what Jesus says Matthew 23:23.

If this man is giving 20% that other people are giving to him. I would love to know the total amount he takes in. I do not tithe, I try to give to people who really need it. A person went and got a manicure and a pedicure, then asked me for money. And of of I didn't give it. Just try to do good and don't just throw money away. Remember that everything we have on earth is like trash and rags compared to what GOD has for us in heaven. And if your pastor is riding around in expensive vehicles, tell me who is he trying to out do? My blessings are in heaven. And if I am blessed on earth, share it with the needy.

[@PrisonPreacher]

Sorry Tiff. You blew it. Tithing is NOT for New Testament believers. When you quoted Matthew 23, Jesus was addressing the Pharisees, not Christians.

[@TiffShuttlesworth]

Incorrect. Jesus never taught a standard of righteousness that only applied to one group of people and not to others. Jesus said; "my words are truth..." Everything Jesus taught was universal in application.

[@PrisonPreacher]

@Tiff Shuttlesworth The Pharisees were a standard unto themselves, which is why He addressed them in the way He did. So you're saying the standard of the tithing (which, as you said, there were 3 and amounted to 23.3%) is the standard where we are to use today? I haven't seen any Levite priests at my Baptist church, and I don't see giving 10% of my gross income in cash, when it was produce of the land. So is it 20% of my gross and another 13% every third year? Am I wrong in saying that the purpose of the tithe was because Israel was living in a Theocracy- hence the need for the tithe (tax)? My pastor tells us were are to give 10% of our gross income every month or we are "robbing God." I don't see how that's not under compulsion, and I don't see how that makes a cheerful giver- especially since we're not under the law.

[@LGvisionaries]

What a very lengthy teaching, but in the end you missed the whole point when you said that Jesus commanded tithing on Matthew 23:23 therefore it's still in effect today. Jesus's sacrifice at the cross hasn't been completed yet when He mentioned tithing on Matthew 23, but after the death & resurrection of Christ, the requirements of the law have been nailed to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14 NKJV [13] And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, [14] having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

[@spiritwordtv3451]

No. But God looks at the percentage of our giving. It is not how much we give, but it is what percentage of our total wealth (not income) we give. Two mites was much more than a tenth.

But tithes in itself is not money..in Matthew 23:23..says mint, cummin, and anise..Jesus and His disciples payed tax not tithes..in the book of Malachi we have tithing and offering..Creflo dollar recently repented of taking tithes..so where is the Scripture for Christian tithing for Prosperity..can anyone give me thanks..
