In the New Testament, the Covenant that Christians are under...
1. There are no guidelines for "Christian tithing" or "New Covenant tithing."
2. There is no record of early Christians paying any form of a tithe to anyone, or that a Christian was instructed to "bring any tithe to any storehouse," or that a New Testament fellowship is a "storehouse to be tithed to."
3. No Apostle commanded or instructed tithing, received a tithe, rebuked any Christians or Church for not tithing or referred to anyone as a routine "tither." The Old or New Testament records no time or place where God has taken the tithe from the Levites and given it to any New Testament church, pastor, minister and anyone else.
4. The first Church Council, held in Jerusalem in 50AD, did not conclude or instruct that anyone had to tithe anything, and did not refer to any form of "New Testament tithing." Additionally; Hebrews 7:8 instructs no New Testament Christian to tithe, and Hebrews 7:18 clearly puts an end to, and cancels tithing for anyone under the New Testament.
5. The New Testament makes no reference to Abraham's tithe to Melchisedec as being an example to follow.
6. The New Testament records Abraham tithing only once to Melchisedec, and not to any church, pastor, or any other ministry or person in the Old or New Testament.
7. The New Testament makes no mention of any curses for not tithing, or any blessings or advantages resulting from tithing. The New Testament does not include Malachi 3:10 as a command for Christians to tithe.
8. The New Testament makes no changes to what the Old Testament clearly states the tithe was to consist of; namely fruits, vegetables and clean livestock from the Promise Land. The Bible, New or Old Testament does not command the paying of monetary tithes from anywhere including from one's income.
9. The New Testament does not conclude that ministers, teachers, pastors, churches should instruct Christians to tithe, or that "tithe challenges" are appropriate Church activities.
10. The Gospels, or any other Book in the New Testament does not record Jesus or His Disciples tithing, or referring to any future requirement of His Disciples to tithe under a New Covenant.
11. The New Testament does not state that anyone has to tithe to be saved, or that you maintain a covenant with God by tithing, or that the devourer will be rebuked for a Christian's sake by tithing.
12. The New Testament does not refer to Jacob as an example of tithing to be followed; the Bible, New or Old Testament records no incident of Jacob tithing, or Adam tithing or Abel tithing, or any tithing before the flood.
CONCLUSION; the New Testament does not instruct Christians to tithe anything to anyone. There exists no command in the New Testament directed toward Christians to tithe.
