TITHING ABOLISHED FOREVER BY JESUS CHRIST
According to God's word, tithing must be done according to God's ordinances. God's ordinances is the Law of Moses. That is to say the flagship scripture verse used by tithing teachers of Malachi 3:10, which reads;
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
...must be carried out and performed in total compliance with God's ordinances.
To attempt to tithe based on Malachi 3:10 outside of, and not compliant with the ordinances of God is sin and blatant disobedience to God's word.
God's ordinances IS THE STANDARD under which Malachi 3:10 MUST be completed;
Malachi 3:7 - "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?"
"Return unto me" is God commanding that tithing, among other requirements, MUST BE OBEYED according to his ORDINANCES, and in no other way. NOT obeying God's ordinances in regards to the tithe is what God addresses here;
Malachi 3:8-9 - "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."
God states again that Malachi 3:10 must be performed according to His ORDINANCES, ergo; the Law of Moses;
Malachi 4:4 - "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."
HEBREWS CHAPTER SEVEN
In Hebrews 7:5 it states that the tithe was taken according to God's ordinances, the Law of Moses (or "the law");
Hebrews 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
"according to the law" refers to the sons of Levi taking tithes according to God's ordinances.
THE APOSTLE PAUL TELLS US THIS
In the New Testament God's ordinances, including the tithe ordinances, have been ABOLISHED;
Ephesians 2:15 - "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;"
MOSES, WHO REPRESENTS THE LAW, THE LAW ABOLISHED
2 Corinthians 3:13 - "And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:"
CONCLUSION
The ordinance of tithing has been eternally abolished by Jesus! God's word also tells us this regarding tithing;
Hebrews 7:18-19 - "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God."
Note; "disannulling," which also means ABOLISHED, CANCELED, DISCONTINUED, ENDED. Tithing is an Old Testament ORDINANCE, now abolished.
The other Apostles said it this way;
Acts 15:24 - "Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:"
The Apostle Paul wrote this;
Romans 6:14 - "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."
And, this;
Romans 7:6 - "But now we are DELIVERED FROM THE LAW, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter."
>> Additionally...
Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek was obviously a one time event (Genesis 14:20). First of all, Abraham did not tithe the one thousand pieces of silver received from Abimelech (Genesis 20:16). Furthermore, he did not teach Isaac and Jacob to tithe despite the claim of monetary tithing proponents. Jacob's vow proves this point (Genesis 28:20-22). Why would someone make a vow if they were already practicing something taught to them? Vows are made for something to be done in the future. Contrary to the monetary tithing teachers, Jacob's vow actually refutes their argument instead of supporting it!
NO SCRIPTURE records Abraham being given a commandment or instructions from God to tithe, or that he tithed by faith, or expected anything back for tithing, or that he did so other than one time to Melchisedec, or any other lies and garbage taught by false tithing teachers. NO SCRIPTURE cites Abraham as a reason to tithe or an example of tithing to be followed.
NO SCRIPTURE records Jacob tithing anything to anyone. Even if Jacob would have tithed, it would have been based on A VOW HE MADE UP, NOT a commandment or instructions of God. NO SCRIPTURE cites Jacob as tithing, or a reason to tithe, or an example of tithing to be followed.
