Examining Tithing Deceptions

One of the most consistent falsehoods in churches today is that you are obligated to "pay tithes." There are no such instructions anywhere in God's Word. The purpose of this Blog is to examine false doctrines in today's teachings on tithing. Anyone claiming that a Christian must tithe is teaching a falsehood. "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

STOP TITHING; IT'S CANCELED AND NO LONGER A VALID COMMAND FOR ANYONE

STOP TITHING; IT'S CANCELED AND NO LONGER A VALID COMMAND FOR ANYONE

If you understand the flow of God's word, the path of redemption in God's word, the flow from Old to New Testament you will understand how this; Malachi 3:10 flows to this; Hebrews 7:18 which ends tithing because of this;

Hebrews 9:15-17 - "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth."

>> THEREFORE...

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."

>> WHICH ENDS THIS...

Malachi 3:9-10 - "Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 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."

>> AS STATED HERE...

Romans 6:14 - "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

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:"

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."

Galatians 5:3 - "For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law."

Galatians 3:10 - "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them."

James 2:10 - "For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend on one point, he is guilty of all."

Galatians 5:2-3 - "Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law."

>> YOU SAY "TITHING WAS NOT FROM THE LAW;" YOU ARE WRONG...

> Jesus explained it...

> ref. Matthew 23:23 - "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."

> Hebrews confirmed it...

> ref. 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:"

> Malachi instructed it...

> ref. 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." 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?"

> Levicus established it (the tithe is introduced as Law)...

> ref. Levicus 27:30–34 "Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”> THE CLAIM; "Tithing was practiced before the law."

> THE CLAIM; "Tithing was practiced before the law."

> THE TRUTH; whether or not tithing was practiced before the law, after the law it still remains CANCELED, DISANNULLED, ENDED. Additionally; NOWHERE does the Bible, the Word of God instruct anyone to tithe because Jacob said he would tithe, or because Abraham tithed; such a command DOES NOT exist in God's Word.

No more tithing after Hebrews 7:18; Tithing is void, canceled, finished, weak, unprofitable, ended, disannulled, not required.

>> STOP LIVING IN BONDAGE TO TITHING; there is no such thing as "New Testament tithing," "grace tithing," "love tithing," "voluntary tithing" or any tithing under the New Testament; TITHING IS FOREVER ENDED.

DID YOU NOTICE SOMETHING?

Did you notice how "convincing" those 41 points were? Yes, to many Christians they are convinced they must tithe because of statements made by tithing teachers like the ones above (and many more) that fool gullible poorly taught New Testament Believers into handing over ten percent of their income to deceptive liars.

Yet, in reality, NOT A SINGLE STATEMENT ABOVE IN THE LIST is backed by scripture in proper context, and are nothing more than false teaching not backed by the truth of God's word. They are the deceptive traditions of men, the claims of false teachers, designed to deceive and fool unlearned Christians.

The word of God warns us (I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU READ THEM ALL);

"And with all delusion of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." - 2 Thessalonians 2:10

1 Timothy 6:5 - "Perverse disputings (or claims) of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."

Matthew 15:3 - "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"

Titus 1:10-11 - "For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: WHO'S MOUTHS MUST BE STOPPED, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for FILTHY LUCRE'S SAKE."

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."

2 Timothy 4:3 - "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they draw to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto MYTHS."

Matthew 15:6b - "Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition."

Mark 7:13 - "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."

Hebrews 5:11-14 - "Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."

>> FOOTNOTE; If you believe that any one of the 41 points above are true and biblical, feel free to tell us which one and provide SCRIPTURE to prove your claim. But, be careful...

Proverbs 30:6 "Do not add to His Words, lest He reprove you and you be found a liar."

THE PRINCIPLE OF INHERITANCE

As with any topic of study in the Bible, there are principles and doctrines that must be examined that make up the body of facts concerning that particular subject. One principle (or doctrinal component) of the tithe is that of INHERITANCE.

There are many false teachers and false "ministers" claiming that you must "tithe" to them. Yet none of them can show you scripture were God has taken the tithe from the tribe of Levi and given it to them, they cannot show you where they have in fact inherited the tithe. The tribe of Levi received the tithe by way of inheritance, they were given the right and authority to receive (take) the tithe by inheritance, and by the Law of Moses as recorded in God's word...

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:"

And;

Nehemiah 10:38 - "And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house."

THE CLARITY OF GOD'S WORD

God's word makes it very clear that from God the tribe of Levi has inherited the tithe. Your church, pastor or your favorite minister has NOT inherited it...

Numbers 18:20-24 - "And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance."

And;

Numbers 18:26 - "Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe."

Joshua 18:7 - "But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

The New Testament church did not inherit the tithe, IT HAS NOT INHERITED ANY TITHE, neither has any minister in the church inherited a tithe, or the right and authority to receive a tithe. They have no right to do so at all!

ABRAHAM AND MELCHIZEDEK

What of Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek? Though there is no record of Melchizedek inheriting any tithe, and there is equally no record of God commanding Abraham to tithe to Melchizedek. Neither is there any scriptural command in the New or Old Testaments directed to a New Testament Christian to tithe anything to anyone. Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek was a one time voluntary event based on local customs, traditions and territorial laws. It was an event used by God to establish the superiority of the Melchizedek priesthood over the Levite priesthood...

Hebrews 7:6-7 - "But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better."

The establishment of the superiority of the Melchizedek priesthood over the Levite priesthood has been forever accomplished and no further tithes to Melchizedek need be given to continue establishing it. Or, as stated in God's word...

Psalms 110:4 - "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."

And;

Hebrews 7:17 - "For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." NOTE: "FOR EVER."

Furthermore, if Abraham is to be used as an example for tithing it must be noted that Abraham tithed to Melchizedek...TO MELCHIZEDEK, not to your church, ministry or any New Testament minister. There is no scripture authorizing any New Testament ministry or minister to receive tithes for Melchizedek or anyone else, and there is no need to do so. Paying so called "tithes" to you local church or favorite minister is NOT tithing as Abraham did and is a deceptive false practice that is based on false teaching.

CONCLUSION

Any church, ministry or minister from the New Testament asking for tithes from anyone is doing so without any authority from God. They have no authority, they have no right and they have no inheritance of any tithe. They are, by way of deception and false teaching, taking what is not theirs to take.

Christians have inherited much in and through Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament, yet the tithe is not one of them.

MALACHI 3:10

God never designated money as suitable for tithing. A minimal of 17 times in through the Old and New Testaments God states that the tithe shall be fruits, vegetables (or derivatives of fruits such as oil or juice) and clean animals grown on (or born on) the Promise Land. Even in Malachi 3:10 (the flag ship scripture for tithing teachers) the tithes are described as MEAT (food), not money.

>> Tithe scriptures designating the tithe limited to agricultural produce from the Promise Land...

> Lev. 27:30, 32 "And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD.… And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD."

> Num. 18:27 "And this your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the wine-press."

> Num. 18:28 "Thus you also shall offer a heave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and you shall give thereof the LORD’s heave offering to Aaron the priest."

> Deut 12:17 "You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your wine, or of your oil."

> Deut. 14:22 "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year."

> Deut. 14:23 "And you shall eat before the LORD your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first offspring of your herds and of your flocks, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always."

> Deut. 24:21 "When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow."

> Deut. 26:12 "When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase [produce: RSV] the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled."

> 2 Chron. 31:5 "And as soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the fields; and the tithe of all things they brought in abundantly."

> 2 Chron. 31:6 "And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that lived in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps."

> Neh. 10:37 "And that we should bring the first fruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage."

> Neh. 13:5 "And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where previously they laid the grain offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the offerings of the priests."

> Mal. 3:10 "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat [food] in my house."

> Matt. 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin (spices, ie, fruits,vegetables)..."

> Luke 11:42 "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."

>>> Scriptural References, Part Two; THE SCRIPTURES CLEARLY DESIGNATING THE USE OF MONEY (CURRENCY) AS FAR BACK AS ABRAHAM UP TO THE TIME OF JESUS AND THE BOOK OF ACTS;

Tithing teachers will often claim that fruits, vegetables and clean animals were the "currency of the day in Israel," and that they "didn't have money as we know it," so therefore money can be used to tithe. That is a lie as scripture reveals...

>>> List of scriptures showing the use of money in the Old and New Testaments (NOTE CLOSELY; MONEY IS NEVER MENTIONED AS BEING USED TO PAY A TITHE...NOT EVEN ONCE)...

Genesis 23;12-16 "But Abraham bowed before the Hittites 13 and said to Ephron, so that everyone could hear, “May I ask you, please, to listen. I will buy the whole field. Accept my payment, and I will bury my wife there.” Ephron answered, “Sir, land worth only four hundred pieces of silver—what is that between us? Bury your wife in it.” 16 Abraham agreed and weighed out the amount that Ephron had mentioned in the hearing of the people—four hundred pieces of silver, according to the standard weights used by the merchants."

Exodus 38:28 "And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.'

Exodus 38:29 "And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels."

Leviticus 5:15 "If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:'

Leviticus 27:3 "And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

Leviticus 27:4 "And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.'

Leviticus 27:5 "And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.'

Leviticus 27:6 "And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver."

Leviticus 27:7 "And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.'

Leviticus 27:16 "And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver."

Numbers 3:47 "Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty)"

Numbers 3:50 "Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:"

Matthew 21:12-13 "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

Mark 12:41-42 "And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing."

Acts 8:20 "But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money."

> Note: 17 times in God's Word the tithe is declared to be fruits, vegetables and clean animals from the Promise Land, and 14 times that we have listed above, God's Word records the use of money over a long period of time.

> Conclusion; We must always seek and accept God's description of anything. If God declares in His word that the tithe shall be fruits, vegetables and clean animals from the Promise Land, then that is how it is, that is reality, that is truth. God means what He says, and says EXACTLY what He means; that includes what He says about tithing; there is within God's Word NO SUCH THING AS MONETARY TITHING (THE TITHING OF MONEY).

DISANNULLED, WEAK, UNPROFITABLE

What is DISANNULLED? What is WEAK? What is UNPROFITABLE? These three...

1. The Levitical Priesthood (which could bring perfection [salvation] TO NO ONE, Hebrews 7:11).

2. The Law of Moses relative to New Testament Christians who are NOT UNDER THE LAW (Romans 6:14, Acts 15:24).

3. Tithing, which is of the law of Moses (Hebrews 7:5, Numbers 18:21-24, Matthew 23:23).

In Hebrews Chapter Seven, Verses Number;

5, 6, 8, and 9...

Focuses CLEARLY ON TITHING, and while proving the superiority of Christ's priesthood, ALSO places tithing (along with the rest of the law of Moses) in a position of INFERIORITY and declares it all...

ALL THREE ARE WEAK, ALL THREE ARE UNPROFITABLE, AND ALL THREE ARE DISANNULLED...INCLUDING TITHING.

"For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof." - Hebrews 7:18

God has never called Gentiles to tithe, God has never required anyone to tithe money; God, for EVERYONE, Jew and Gentile, has forever ended all forms of tithing. Read God's word; for any Believer under the New Testament, tithing is WEAK, UNPROFITABLE AND DISANNULLED (See: Hebrews 7:18).

Interesting that people who like to quote Malachi 3:10;

"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove (bâchan) 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."

...trying to convince you to "tithe" like to completely ignore;

>> Malachi 3:7 (keeping of the law of Moses concerning tithing, of which no Christian is under [ref.; Hebrews 7:18, Romans 6:14])...

"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?"

>> Malachi 3:15 (though given grace to do so after disobeying God, testing God is called WICKEDNESS)...

"And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt (bâchan) God are even delivered."

>> And, Malachi 4:4 (to whom Malachi was addressing in Malachi 3:10 were under the law of Moses of which their command to tithe came from)...

"Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."

TITHING MONEY; GOD FORBIDS DOING SO

1. God forbids the tithing of money, if the tithe is in the form of money it MUST NOT be given to anyone, one must BIND IT to their hand. Speaking of the tithe temporarily converted to money for purposes of transportation, God's word tells us...

"Then shalt thou turn it into money, and BIND UP THE MONEY in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:" - Deuteronomy 14:25. In other words, God did not want anyone paying a tithe in the form of money, NO ONE WAS TO DO SO. Doing so was forbidden.

2. The Word of God also tells us...

"For I testify again to every man that is circumcised [a keeper of the Law], that he is a debtor to do the whole law." - Galatians 5:3

And...

"For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." - James 2:10

If you pay a tithe in the form of money, you are in violation of Deuteronomy 14:25 and are in sin, YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE WHOLE LAW.

Also...

"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." - Galatians 3:10

3. IF YOU ARE PAYING A TITHE IN THE FORM OF MONEY, YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF GOD'S WORD (Deuteronomy 14:25) AND HAVE BROUGHT A CURSE (PUNISMENT) ON YOURSELF.

GOD SAYS "USE TITHE MONEY TO BUY WINE AND WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES TO BUY WITH IT."

If we are supposed to be tithing money, or tithing at all for that matter, as tithing teachers claim; why are we not supposed to be doing what God says with the tithe money? Like this...

1. Do not pay the tithe in the form of money. Keep the money in your hand (bind it to your hand) until you...

2. Buy wine with it.

3. Buy strong drink (harder liqueur) with it.

4. Buy livestock and other food.

5. Buy whatever you desire, whatever you lust after.

6. Share what you buy with a Levite and your family.

7. Only convert your tithe money back to fruits, vegetables and clean live stock, etc., at the location you will share it with a Levite if it is too far to transport it in the form God says it is to paid in.

8. Eat your tithe with the Levite.

9. Learn to fear and respect the Lord by doing one through eight above.

>> Why don't tithing teachers tell their faithful tithers this?...

> ref.; Deuteronomy 14:22-27

22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:

25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:

26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

FOOLISH STATEMENTS MADE BY TITHERS - NUMBER 1

> Foolish Statement...

"I tithe to get the blessings of Abraham."

> Answer...

We already have all of the blessings of Abraham the moment we received Jesus Christ as our Savior.

> Scripture...

"That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." - Galatians 3:14

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" - Ephesians 1:3

"And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise." - Galatians 3:29"

"Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all." - Romans 4:16

> Note: It has already been given to us through Jesus Christ and cannot be obtained by tithing.

> Conclusion; no Christian must tithe to receive the blessings of Abraham, we already have it, it cannot be obtained by tithing, it cannot be lost by not tithing.

(The preceding is a series called "FOOLISH STATEMENTS MADE BY TITHERS," and will be ongoing with occasional posts addressing the foolish, false and demonic claims of tithers and tithing teachers.)

Three Simple Words

Do you people who teach or believe in tithing know what these words mean?...

1. WEAK

2. UNPROFITABLE

3. DISANNULLED

If not, keep reading...

1. WEAK - lacking the power to perform physically demanding tasks; lacking physical strength and energy. Inability to perform something or cause something to happen.

2. UNPROFITABLE - not yielding profit or financial gain. Not returning anything to an investor, a venture returning nothing to all involved.

3. DISANNULLED - transitive verb. dis·an·nulled, dis·an·null·ing, dis·an·nuls. To annul or cancel. Related Forms: dis′an·nul′ment. To put an end to something.

>> Here are the words WEAK, UNPROFITABLE, and DISANNULLED from the Greek original language used in Hebrews chapter 7...

1. WEAK - Greek: ἀσθενής

Transliteration: asthenēs

Pronunciation: as-then-ace'

Definition: From G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G4599; strengthless (in various applications literally or figuratively and morally): - more feeble impotent sick without strength weak (-er -ness thing).

KJV Usage: weak (12x), sick (6x), weakness (2x), weaker (1x), weak things (1x), impotent (1x), more feeble (1x), without strength (1x).

Occurs: 25

In verses: 23

> IN SHORT - FEEBLE, IMPOTENT, NO STRENGTH.

In verses: 2

> IN SHORT - CANCELLED, GONE FOREVER!

Or, as CLEARLY STATED IN HEBREWS 7:18...

"For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."

What is DISANNULLED? What is WEAK? What is UNPROFITABLE? These three...

1. The Levitical Priesthood (which could bring perfection [salvation] TO NO ONE, Hebrews 7:11).

2. The Law of Moses relative to New Testament Christians who are NOT UNDER THE LAW (Romans 6:14, Acts 15:24).

3. Tithing, which is of the law of Moses (Hebrews 7:5, Numbers 18:21-24, Matthew 23:23).

ALL THREE ARE WEAK, ALL THREE ARE UNPROFITABLE, AND ALL THREE ARE DISANNULLED.

In Hebrews Chapter Seven, Verses Number; 5, 6, 8, and 9 focus CLEARLY ON TITHING, and while proving the superiority of Christ's priesthood, Hebrews 7 ALSO places tithing (along with the rest of the law of Moses) in a position of INFERIORITY relative to the New Covenant, and declares it all WEAK, UNPROFITABLE, DISANNULLED.

>> Tithing that God commanded was established in, and part of the Law of Moses; that is VERY CLEAR in 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:"

THERE IS NO COMMAND TO TITHE GIVEN TO ANYONE, JEW OR GENTILE, OUTSIDE OF THE LAW OF MOSES. ADDITIONALLY, GENTILES HAVE NEVER BEEN COMMANDED TO TITHE...

"He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord." - Psalm 147:19-20

ALL COMMANDMENTS TO TITHE ARE IN THE LAW OF MOSES, OR SCRIPTURE REFERRING TO AND PURSUANT TO THE LAW OF MOSES SUCH AS IN MALACHI 3:10...

"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." - Malachi 3:10

Malachi states in Malachi 4:4 that who he is talking to, who he is commanding to "bring in the tithe," ARE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES...

"Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments." - Malachi 4:4

And, the command to bring in the tithe to the Storehouse is to the Priests of Aaron, not ANYONE ELSE...

"And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you." - Malachi 2:1...what commandment? THE COMMANDMENT TO BRING IN THE TITHE TO THE STOREHOUSE...

"And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house." - Nehemiah 10:38

NO ONE WAS TO BRING THE TITHE TO THE STOREHOUSE EXCEPT THE LEVITES AND PRIESTS OF AARON...NO ONE ELSE LEST THEY DIE...

"And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die." - Numbers 18:21-22

CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, AND THEREFORE HAVE NO COMMANDMENT TO TITHE...

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are NOT UNDER THE LAW but under grace." - Romans 6:14

"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:" - Acts 15:24

SORRY TO INFORM YOU TITHING TEACHERS; YOUR TITHING GAME IS OVER, your cash cow has run off, your days of lying to your followers and stealing money from them ARE OVER.

You are described perfectly by the Apostle Peter...

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness (LUST AFTER MONEY AND MATERIAL THINGS) shall they with feigned words (WORDS OF DECEPTION) make merchandise (A SOURCE OF MONEY) of you: whose judgment (THEIR EVIL EXPOSED AND JUDGED BY GOD) now of a long time lingereth not (WILL BE RIGHT ON TIME), and their damnation (BEING SENT TO HELL) slumbereth not." - 2 Peter 2:1-3

>> We are warned to stay away from people who Peter is describing; Paul wrote this...

STAY AWAY FROM TITHING TEACHERS...

"Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain (MONEY) is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." - 1 Timothy 6:5

HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TITHING TEACHERS, EXPOSE THEM WITH THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD...

"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." - Ephesians 5:11

TITHERS...be free from tithing!
