Two typical myths taught by false tithing teachers

Myth 1. "God has instructed all individuals to tithe, both Jew and Gentile." 

Wrong; God called a NATION to tithe (the Nation of Israel living under the Law of Moses - Malachi 4:4), not individuals, Jew or Gentile. It was a national requirement to bring forth the tithes of the Promise Land; that of fruits, vegetables and clean animals, not an individual requirement.

Not everyone in Israel was required to tithe, the National requirement to fulfill the tithe came from farmers and ranchers (herdsmen) of Israel (the farming and ranching industry of Israel), no one else.

No tithe was required from carpenters, fishermen, doctors, stone workers, artists, day laborers, servants, etc. No tithe was required of them, they did not tithe anything unless they also grew fruits, vegetables, or raised clean animals on the Promise Land. 

ref.; 

Malachi 3:9 - "Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole NATION." 

Numbers 18:21 - "And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth IN ISRAEL for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation." 

Malachi - 1:1 "The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi." 


Myth 2. "The tithe was, and is, to come from an individual's income." 

Wrong; The tithe came from the miraculous increase God provided of the produce of the Promise Land and the increase of the herds. Personal income had nothing to do with tithing. There was never any tithe required from personal income, there remains no tithe required from personal income. There is not now, and has never been, any tithe on income instructed by God. 

ref.; 

Leviticus 27:30, 32 -  "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 of the flock, even of whatsoever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD." 

Deut. 14:23 "And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first offspring of your herds and of your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always."

17 times God declares that the tithe will be only fruits, vegetables and clean livestock from the Promise Land, Israel, not your bank account from where you live...

Lev. 27:30, 32, Num. 18:27, Num. 18:28, Deut 12:17, Deut. 14:22, Deut. 14:23, Deut. 24:21, Deut. 26:12, 2 Chron. 31:5, 2 Chron. 31:6, Neh. 10:37, Neh. 13:5, Mal. 3:10-11, Matt. 23:23, Luke 11:42.

There is no scripture where God commands any individual in Israel, or anywhere else, regardless of what they do, to tithe. 

Conclusion; In God's system of tithing, no individual was directly commanded to tithe, and the tithe was never taken from income.
