THE BIBLICAL TITHE MODEL
The model for Biblical tithing is revealed in 37 verses in the Bible. If you read and study each verse closely without any preconceived ideas or the traditions of men as to what Biblical tithing actually was, without adding anything to the scriptures, the obvious comes to light. What is clear and obvious? That not one of those scriptures include the following;
The 37 verses do NOT include, do NOT command...
1. The tithing of money from income (monetary tithing).
2. Tithing anywhere other than on the Promise Land of Israel.
3. A command to the New Testament church to tithe anything to anyone, including a church, a ministry or minister.
4. A 90-day tithe challenge.
5. Curses or loss of blessings for a New Testament Believer who does not tithe.
6. A command to the New Testament church to "continue tithing." -- (Note; tithing, which is declared canceled, weak and without profit; Hebrews 7:18.)
7. A New Testament church as a "storehouse to be tithed to."
8. A command to tithe directed at persons other than the Children of Israel who are farmers or ranchers.
9. Tithing described as a form of giving.
If your tithing beliefs, or model include any of the above 9 points, your tithing model does not come from God's word, is false doctrine and deception, and you are deceived. Not a single one of those 37 verses confirm any type of "New Testament tithing."
Take heed and learn...
Deuteronomy 4:2 - "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
Psalm 119:105 - "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
2 Timothy 3:16-17 - "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
Acts 17:11 - "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."
