From a Biblical point of view (that is to say; IN THE BIBLE, IN THE WORD OF GOD, COMMANDED BY GOD), there is no such thing as...
> There is no such thing as tithing money (monetary tithing) anywhere in the Bible.
> There is no such thing as tithing from income anywhere in the Bible. All tithe came from God's increase of the land which was owed by the Levite, not by the tither, therefore cannot be considered "income." It was simply the property of the Levite.
> There is no such thing as a commandment to tithe to a Gentile; Gentiles have never been commanded to tithe anywhere in the Bible (New or Old Testament Gentiles).
> There is no such thing as tithing off (not living on) the Promise Land anywhere in the Bible. All tithers must live on the Promise Land.
> There is no such thing as an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher or any other New Testament minister church or organization authorized to collects tithes. All collection of any kind of tithe by the aforementioned is thievery.
> There is no such thing as a doctrine or warning that a Christian must tithe or be sent to hell; anyone claiming so is a demonic liar. There is no need, and indeed is foolishness, to add anything to the cross, including tithing, to be saved. Anyone adding tithing as a requirement to be saved to the FINISHED WORK OF JESUS ON THE CROSS is a demonic liar, is preaching ANOTHER GOSPEL, AND IS CURSED.
> There is no such thing as tithing based on the demands of a pastor, a church, or a person claiming to have seen a vision (or "special knowledge") telling Christians to tithe.
> There is no such thing as "love tithing," "grace tithing," or any "New Testament tithing," or any other form of modern day tithing.
> There is no such thing as tithing because Abraham did, Jacob did, Adam did, Abel did or because anyone else did, or it is claimed that they did.
> There is no such thing as individuals commanded to tithe; God called a NATION to tithe; the NATION OF ISRAEL, no single individual has ever had a commandment by God to tithe.
THE FACT IS; THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "CHRISTIAN TITHING."
If you believe I am wrong; POST SCRIPTURE TO PROVE IT. Without SCRIPTURE, you have NO PROOF.
GROW UP, CHURCH!
Stand fast in the liberty we have been given through Christ! Don't let tithing teachers LIE TO YOU and ROB YOU.
It's time the Church decides to be like the Bereans and really dig in and study. Be teachable, and make the choice to let the Scriptures "get in the way" of what you believe, even if it means that your whole paradigm must change! THAT is the mark of a mature believer.
"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
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." -2 Timothy 2:15
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." - 1 John 4:1
