HAS YOUR PASTOR, FAVORITE MINISTER OR TITHING TEACHER TOLD YOU THIS?

HAS YOUR PASTOR, FAVORITE MINISTER OR TITHING TEACHER TOLD YOU THIS?...

1. Tithing was ended, canceled 2000 years ago being weak and of no profit - Hebrews 7:18.

2. The tithe was never money; the substance and content of the tithe was limited to agricultural products only, never money from personal income, God's tithe was agricultural, never monetary - 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, Matt. 23:23, Luke 11:42.

3. If the tithe is sold for money, was in the form of money, it is forbidden to use the money to tithe with - Deuteronomy 14:25.

4. The money must be used to buy items you desire for your family and the Levite in your presence -  Deuteronomy 14:26.

5. No Apostle ever commanded New Testament tithing - Acts 15:24.

6. Malachi 3:10 can only be obeyed through the Law of Moses - Malachi 3:7, Malachi 4:4.

7. Malachi 3:10 was addressing the corrupt priests of Israel, not the New Testament Church - Malachi 1:1, Malachi 2:1, Malachi 3:5, Malachi 3:6.

8. Tithing was a matter of the Law of Moses, not a matter of, or required under grace - Matthew 23:23, Hebrews 7:5, Romans 6:14.

9. Testing God in the tithe is called wickedness - Malachi 3:15.

10. Malachi 3:10 along with the entire Book of Malachi was written to the Nation of Israel under the Law of Moses; the Church is not the Nation of Israel under the Law of Moses - Malachi 1:1, Malachi 1:6, Malachi 3:6, Malachi 4:4, Romans 6:14.

11. There were three tithes; Tithing was a total of 23-1/3%, not 10%, there were three required tithes; two paid every year, one paid every third year... 

>> THE FIRST TITHE (commonly called "The Temple Tithe," or "The Holy Tithe.") 

Leviticus 27:30-33 defines this tithe as a tenth of crops and animals in herds and flocks. 

Numbers 18 and Nehemiah 10:37-38 gives the ordinances, or instructions, for this tithe, and commands this tithe be taken by the Levites. 

> Purpose of this tithe: to support the Levitical Priesthood, the Temple and Temple workers. 

>> SECOND TITHE (commonly called "The Festival Tithe.") 

Deuteronomy 14:22-27: aka The Festival Tithe - a tenth of crops, plus add to that the firstborn animals, and take to the yearly feasts. 

> Purpose of this tithe: that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always 

>> THIRD TITHE (commonly called "The Tithe for the Poor.") 

Deuteronomy 14:28-29: aka, The Three-Year Tithe, aka The Poor Tithe - a tenth of crops, kept at home, and invite the Levites, widows, orphans, stranger to eat. 

DIDN'T THEY TELL YOU?!

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY'RE LYING TO YOU, OR HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT?

NO SCRIPTURE IS OF PRIVATE INTERPRETATION, INCLUDING MALACHI 3:10

NO SCRIPTURE IS OF PRIVATE INTERPRETATION, INCLUDING MALACHI 3:10

CONCERNING MALACHI 3:10; the Bible clearly states how to obey what it says. 

The deception; Malachi 3:10 is routinely taken out of context of the following scriptures by deceptive tithing teachers attempting to promote an unbiblical false tithing system.

THESE ARE THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS TO FULFILL MALACHI 3:10 PROPERLY BASED ON GOD'S WORD;

>> Malachi 3:7 - Requires that Malachi 3:10 to be obeyed and acted on per the Law of Moses; aka; "mine ordinances."

>> Nehemiah 10:38 - Requires that only one tenth of the tithe be brought to the Temple storehouse referred to in Malachi 3:10.

>> Nehemiah 10:38, Numbers 18:20-24 - Requires that only Levites are permitted to bring the tithe of the tithe to the storehouse. Additionally; they must be under the direct supervision of a Priest directly descended from Aaron when taking the tithe of the tithe and when bringing the tithe of the tithe to the storehouse.

>> Nehemiah 10:37 - Requires that the remaining ninety percent of the tithe be brought to the Levite cities. 

>> The following scriptures require that the tithe of the tithe brought to the storehouse, and the tithes that are brought to the Levite cities must be limited to agricultural items only; fruits, vegetables and clean animals from the land of Israel; 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, Matt. 23:23, Luke 11:42.

>> Malachi 2:1 - Is a command directed to the Levite Priests concerning Malachi 3:10. Malachi 3:10 is to Levite priests under the Law of Moses, not to New Testament Christians.

>> Malachi 1:1 - Tells us that Malachi was written to the Nation of Israel under the law of Moses; the Church is not the Nation of Israel and is not under the Law of Moses.

>> Malachi 4:4 - Clearly states that who Malachi 3:10 is talking to is under the Law of Moses. Christians are not under the Law of Moses; Romans 6:14 ...and have no command to tithe anything to anyone. 

>> Deuteronomy 12:10-11 - Directs that there is to be no tithing other than on the Land of Israel; Malachi 3:10 is only a command valid on the Promise Land.

CONCLUSION;

Malachi 3:10 does not command that ten percent of a Christian's income be brought to any New Testament church, other ministry or minister.

Malachi 3:10 is NOT a "stand alone scripture," it must be interpreted by other scripture, it must be acted upon pursuant to the whole counsel of God, or as the Bible tells us... 

2 Peter 1:20 - "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."
