Christians can NEVER be cursed by not tithing; it's simply not possible...

Ignorant tithing teachers make claims well beyond any biblical credibility to place blood-washed blood-redeemed New Covenant believers under the curse of the Old Covenant, under the curse of the Law (the law of Moses). 


>> FACT ONE; Gentiles...

In fact Gentile Christians were NEVER under that Law; they were instead condemned by the witness of nature all around them and their conscience; see Romans 1:18-20...

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" - Romans 1:18-20

And...

"He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto ISRAEL. He hath NOT dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord." - Psalm 147:19-20 


>> FACT TWO; The Hebrews...  

Hebrew Christians who were once under the Law of Moses are now dead to it; how can a dead person be cursed? See Romans 7:4-7...

"Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet."

>> God’s Word very clearly declares to us who believe that "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us" - Gal. 3:13

Last I looked, this biblical text, Gal. 3:13, is also in the tithing teacher’s Bible also!

>> QUESTION;

The question must be asked; What post-Calvary New Testament principle of interpretation gives tithing teachers the authority to say that Christians who do not "tithe" are "cursed?" 

Just what curse is it they speak of and try to place on Christians? Answer; a false deceptive one God has never established in and under the New Covenant. They foolishly and ignorantly quote Malachi 3:9 which is a curse of the Old Covenant, NOT THE NEW COVENANT...

>> Since the whole 10 percent went to the Levites...

"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.

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance." - Numbers 18:20-24

>> And, the priests only received a tenth of their tenth...

"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest." - Numbers 18:25-28

...it must be asked; are not gospel ministers who teach tithing cursed if they receive more than one per cent? ...ref.; Numbers 18:20-24.

Also, the priests only received a tenth of their tenth ...ref.; Numbers 18:25-28.

Are not gospel ministers who teach tithing cursed if they receive more than one per cent?...cursed because they are completely IGNORING what God's Word IN FACT says about the tithe?

>> THE PROBLEM;

Tithing teachers don't read, neither do they obey what God IN FACT says about tithing preferring rather their own made up garbage concerning tithing and their traditions of men which makes VOID the Word of God.

>> THE ANSWER;

"For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: WHO's MOUTHS MUST BE STOPPED, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for FILTHY LUCRE'S SAKE." - Titus 1:10-11

And...

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they draw to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto MYTHS." - 2 Timothy 4:3

And...

"Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain [ACCUMULATING MONEY] is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." - 1 Timothy 6:5
