Is Tithe For Christians? by lahchi: 6:20am On Aug 28, 2013
Many people make the mistake of having a false belief of Isrealites, who are also known as Jews, to be the same as Christians today but the bible has made it clear and stated it that the Church were the saints gather began in Acts 2, but the Isrealites happened to be one of the generations of Jacob. Heb 7 made it clear that tithe was given as a LAW to the Isrealites to be paid to the Levites.
Ignorance would still make some people bring up opinions about Malachi 3:8 but have you taken time to know who this book was written to and why it was written? If you check Malachi 1:1, it was clearly written that the book was written as a "Warning From God To The Isrealites Through Prophet Malachi".
If you still harbour any doubt concerning the Topic above, ask yourself this question: Why Wasn't It Recorded That The Early Christians Paid Tithe?

The bible says "he who has ears let him hear." I am a member of the Church of Christ and am sending my greeting(Romans 16:16) to those who are ready to take the 5 steps (Hear, Believ, Repent, Confess and be Baptised) of salvation and added to the church by the Lord (Acts 2:47).

Also, the LAW sealed the covenant between God and Israel and was the first covenant. If fault wasn't found with the first covenant that was permitted based on the LAW, there will be no place sought for the new covenant in Christ's blood. Christ terminated that LAW so he can make from JEWS and GENTILES one new man unto himself - The Church, the body of Christ.

The first covenant was ONLY between God and national Israel of which the LAW of tithing was part of it. The second covenant is between God and the church (Jews & Gentiles inclusive). God doesn't operate the new covenant by the old because the old is null and void at the Cross of which tithe was inclusive - Hebrews 7 made null and void tithe with the levitical priesthood. The Epistle instruct a believer to give cheerfully, not of necessity or as one giving in order to receive but as one that is already given\blessed.

Emart: It's left for you whether to pay tithe or not. After death we'll all know who is wrong and who is right.

If we call ourselves Christians, we are to follow the practises of the Early Christians, and we won't know any of the practises if they were not recorded in the Bible, Tithe was never recorded to have been paid by them instead Paul told the Corinthian Church in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 to give as He proposes in His Heart, "6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." This single handedly annuls the rule of tithe, tithe was compulsory to the children of isreal, and they found it difficult to pay the tithe according to how they were been told and by doing that they rob God; Malachi 3:8-10, don't make the mistake of thinking "Malachi 3:8-10" is meant for Christians because Christianity has not began and that point and Malachi 1:1 says "1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi." So beware, if at the time the world ends and you dont practise what the Early Christians practised, you would be found wanting and that would lead to Hell Fire, that's what the Bible says. Don't be Ignorant!

Tithing is an eternal principle ,just as prayers, almsgiving,offerings, worship, fasting etc. all these kingdom principles have nothing to do with Israel . They are part of Gods kingdom. It preceded the emergence of the nation of isreal. Abraham was not an isrealite .he was the father of faith , He was a tither a. If we are children of Abraham then we ought to follow the faith of Abraham.. God never stoped tithing ,it's an eternal principle .

Abraham did animal sacrifice and that sacrifice was befor the law hence "eternal Principle".

So, we are suppose to do animal sacrifice today. Jesus did not also come to abolish the laws, hence, any of you that does not do animal sacrifice today is a hypocrite !

Its either you don't understand the words you read or you are ignorant of the Words you read. Please answer the following Questions:
(1) Did God tell Abraham to pay the tithe he paid? Give your reference if "Yes" is your answer.
(2) Did God command Jacob to build up the covenant of tithing with God? Give your reference if "Yes" is your answer.
(3) Did God make tithing a religious practise for Abraham or Israel?
(4) What does Malachi 1:1 say?
(5) Has Christianity began in Malachi? Give your reference if "Yes" is your answer.
(6) What does 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 say?
1 Corinthians 14:38 says "But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant." You have your choice to make, make sure it is right according to the scriptures.

this is what offering for christians is :

"By him therefore let us offer(offering) the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." (Hebrews 13:15).

> = "Go therefor and make disciples" matt 28:18-20.

Joagbaje:

Is telling a hypocrite that he is a hypocrite an insult/cursing ? No.

It is telling the person who he is so he will no longer live by two standards, saying a different thing and doing a different thing.

Why not say that Jesus was insulting the pherisees ?

I will call a hypocrite a hypocrite also call me one when i turn one.

Tithing is not for christians just as our lips do the offering instead of using animal.

This issue of tithe has been dealt with on this forum severally and I wonder why it is being repeated every now and then.

I don't believe paying of tithe is obligatory anymore, but if it makes you feel good then go ahead and pay. But I will always prefer helping the poor and needy anyday to paying tithe.

The decision is your but don't make others look hell bound because of tithe.

This issue of tithing can never be over flogged because as we speak millions of brethen all over the world are still being held hostage by this fraud. We would continue to reveal the truth about tithes to our brethen until the whole world becomes aware that it is a scam and tithe fraudsters are chased out of business.

Tithes is of the OT and Christians shouldn't follow, am sure those people who added OT to the Christian Bible weren't even Christians, they must have been Roman pagans who thought everything religious from Israel is all the same. And so called men of God these days are happy to see "pay your tithes and offerings" in the Bible. why did they not request for animal burnt sacrifice? Abi dat one is evil?

I get your drift but the tithe preachers cling tenaciously to the old testament when it comes to tithe paying but reject it when it comes to other issues thereby making the anti-tithe preacher labour so much in spreading the anti-tithe gospel.

You are getting it wrong. The NT is the fulfilment of OT prophecies, therefore there's nothing wrong with the OT being part of the bible.

The problem arises when preacher decide to cherry-pick the teachings of the OT just to suit themselves.

If the Law of the isralites were good and would save sin why would God send His Son to give us another law and bring Christianity to us? Tithe was for the Israelites and not to be paid or observed by Christians even those people who claim to pay tithe don't pay it the way God asked the israelites to pay it. 2 Corinthians 9:6 tells us how to give, I don't seem to understand what you tithers don't seem to understand or is it that you refuse to study your bible and confirm what you are been taught or told? Or is that you just see the person being called the Man of God as a truthfull person without confirming what he tells you to be true? Do not be ignorant of the facts and truth about tithing beacuse you would give account on the last day.

Obviously tithe preachers cling tenaciously to it for selfish reasons, however we have one advantage over them and that is the bible supports our position because we speak the truth. A lot of people fall for this tithe scam because they fail to study their bibles and don't know any better. Our duty is to reveal the truth to them.
