1. We are not under the law of tithing
Tithing was part of the law. We are no longer under it. (Rom 6:14)

2. The law of tithing is weak
A required tithe does not change the heart or the action. (Mat 23:23, Gal 4:9, Rom 8:3)

3. The law tithe is beggarly
Law tithing always requests more. It is not a gift. It is merely fulfilling an obligation (Gal 4:9)

4. The church is not God’s covenant people
The old and new covenants were made with Israel and Judah and so the requirements were never intended for Gentiles (Heb 8:8 ). Gentiles could be blessed by honoring Israel, and worshipping Israel’s God.

5. There is no Levitical priesthood today
The most popular tithe today is the tithe that went to the Levitical priesthood (Num 18:21). There is no Levitical priesthood today.

6. The pastor does not replace the priest
Preachers and teachers in the body of Christ church are not priests. Christ is the only mediator (1 Tim 2:5).

7. We do not inherit Israel’s land
The tithe given to the Levites was because they had no land inheritance (Numbers 18:21).

8. There are no more temple sacrifices
Since Christ paid it all there is no need to pay (tithe) someone else to do this service.

9. The local church does not replace the temple
Know ye not that you are the temple of God not your building! ( 1 Cor 3:16)

10. The church does not observe required feast day celebrations
It was three times a year in Deut 16:16. At certain feast days is where the tithes would be offered. One tithe even allowed you to stay home and spend it on what you desired (Deut 14:26).

11. Law tithing requirements were greater than 10 percent
Deut 14:28 is one example of the tithe on the increase every 3 years that was above the regular Levitical tithe. There are other required offerings also according to Mal 3:9.

12. Physical blessings are no longer granted
The law tithe taught physical blessings to Israel from God for tithing (Mal 3:10). Without a covenant with God, a priesthood, a promise, or a temple tithing for profit will not work.

13. Christ has given the church all spiritual blessings
Those blessings are in heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3)

14. God provides all our needs without tithing
Phil 4:19 says your needs are supplied according to his riches in glory in Christ. What you need is not physical it is spiritual.

15. Law tithing obligates the doer to the entire law – Gal 5:3, James 2:10

16. Peace with God is attained without tithing - Romans 5:1

17. We work to provide for our needs in this dispensation
Paul makes it clear that if we don’t work we don’t eat (2 Thess 3:10). Mat 6:11 and Mal 3:10 are not effective today. If we do not provide for our own today we are “worse than an infidel (1 Tim 5:8 )

18. The tithe was required
Giving today is not “of necessity” (2 Cor 9:7). This is an important distinction between generosity and obligation.

19. The law tithe places you under a curse
If you do not continue tithing then you can be cursed (Gal 3:10)

20. Christ has redeemed you from the law of tithing
Law tithing represents ignorance or negligence of Christ’s cross (Gal 3:13, 1 Cor 1:17, Gal 2:21).



“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. ” – Gal 2:21
