NOWHERE...
- Nowhere is it stated that any Apostle ever taught anyone to tithe.
- Nowhere is it stated that any Apostle ever tithed.
- Nowhere is it stated that any Christian in the early church (such as in the Book of Acts) ever paid tithes, or that any early church taught tithing. Except for early churches that tried to put Christians back under the law, but were proven wrong.
- Nowhere is it stated that God will not answer your prayers if you don't tithe (a lie repeatedly claimed by the late Paul Crouch on TBN).
- Nowhere is it stated that you don't obtain the "Blessing of Abraham" if you don't tithe (a lie repeatedly claimed by Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar, among other "faith ministers"). We have already obtained, and been given the Blessing of Abraham through Jesus Christ and his death on the cross, not by tithing. Kenneth Copeland is a liar. The Bible says...
"That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." - Galatians 3:14
- Nowhere is it stated that Adam's original sin in the Garden was refusing to tithe (a lie, and utter idiotic nonsense, taught by Kenneth Copeland).
- Nowhere is it stated that for a Christian it is "a privilege to tithe" as claimed by Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar.
- Nowhere is it stated that Jesus ever tithed, there are NO examples of Jesus tithing, NOT ONE, as claimed by several faith ministers such as John Avanzini.
- Nowhere is it stated that a pastor should offer "refunds on tithes" if you don't become wealthy, as done by pastor Robert Morris.
- Nowhere is it stated that the tithe is 10% of gross income.
- Nowhere is it stated that "God will not help you with your taxes if you only tithe on your net income after taxes" (a lie repeatedly claimed by Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar, among other "faith ministers").
- Nowhere is it stated that a Christian's marriage will be destroyed if you don't tithe (a lie taught by pastor Robert Morris).
- Nowhere is it stated that a Christian's business will be destroyed if you don't tithe (a lie taught by pastor Robert Morris).
- Nowhere is it stated that your tires, refrigerator, clothes, shoes, and other household items will wear out faster and will be cursed if you don't tithe (a lie claimed by several faith ministers such as John Avanzini).
- Nowhere is it stated that the total tithe (or total tithing activity) was 10%; there were three tithes which added up to about 23.3% of fruits, vegetables and clean animals. See Leviticus 27:30-34, Malachi 3:10-12 and Matthew 23:23. Abram and Jacob’s tithes were either from Sodom or pagan Syria and were not holy or required by God.
- Nowhere is it stated that "Jesus is the tithe" as taught by TD Jakes.
- Nowhere is it stated that a church is "the storehouse" where tithes are to be paid. (A lie taught by pastor Robert Morris who demands that his church members tithe into his "church/storehouse" or, as he claims, "you are cursed.")
- Nowhere is it stated that “Render to Caesar that which is Caesar’s and render to God that which is God’s.” (Mt 22:21) is referring to tithing. (a lie claimed by several faith ministers such as John Avanzini).
- Nowhere is it stated that you are to "Bring the tithe to the priest; the government of your church." Nowhere is it stated that by being in "church government, such as an Elder or Pastor, that such people are "priests you are to tithe to." A lie taught by TD Jakes.
- Nowhere is it stated that "Tithing is a skeleton for your finances." A lie taught by TD Jakes.
- Nowhere is it stated that "When you tithe you invite God into your business, if you don't tithe, God will not bless your business." A lie taught by TD Jakes, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar and most other faith ministers.
- We are to be free-will givers, not tithers. "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; NOT grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians 9:7
Notice the word NOT, which means NO, DO NOT DO. No to what? No to giving under necessity or compulsion. Tithing was necessary and compulsory, it was LAW, laws are compulsory. We are told NOT to give under compulsion, NOT to tithe..
That, along with many other New Testament scriptures such as Jesus teaching "freely give, because you have freely received," refute tithing.

One of the most consistent falsehoods in churches today is that you are obligated to "pay tithes." There are no such instructions anywhere in God's Word. The purpose of this Blog is to examine false doctrines in today's teachings on tithing. Anyone claiming that a Christian must tithe is teaching a falsehood. "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." - Acts 17:11
