20 Reasons You Should Stop Tithing
Among pastors there is a terrible abuse of using law tithing to place the church back under the condemnation of the law. This must be stopped (Titus 1:11). Jesus taught the church of Paul’s dispensation a better way of giving without the law.
Below are some reasons you should stop law tithing.

We are not under the law of tithing
Tithing was part of the law. We are no longer under it. (Rom 6:14)
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)
The law tithe is beggarly
Law tithing always requests more. It is not a gift. It is merely fulfilling an obligation (Gal 4:9)
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:. Gentiles could be blessed by honoring Israel, and worshipping Israel’s God.
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.
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).
We do not inherit Israel’s land
The tithe given to the Levites was because they had no land inheritance (Numbers 18:21).
There are no more temple sacrifices
Since Christ paid it all there is no need to pay (tithe) someone else to do this service.
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)
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).
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.
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.
Christ has given the church all spiritual blessings
Those blessings are in heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3)
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.
Law tithing obligates the doer to the entire law – Gal 5:3, James 2:10
Peace with God is attained without tithing - Romans 5:1
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:
The tithe was required
Giving today is not “of necessity” (2 Cor 9:7). This is an important distinction between generosity and obligation.
The law tithe places you under a curse
If you do not continue tithing then you can be cursed (Gal 3:10)
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

Editor’s note:
This resource is not intended to dissuade giving generously to the Lord’s causes. God loves generosity as a reflection of your thanksgiving to Him. While this resource explains why Paul’s doctrine teaches you to stop law tithing, God does not teach lesser generosity.
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” – 2 Cor 9:7

Some topics in nairaland never die no matter how many times you bury them.

To tithe or not to tithe...this two positions will never lack supporters or proponents and opponents...till Christ returns.

If you're led, through personal conviction in the Word, to tithe, let nothing stop you.

If you feel your tithe enriches your pastor to your disadvantage, you can keep it.

There's one thing I'm sure of, I shall never be found among the group of non-tithers.

Why risk eternal damnation on the ground of tithing? A paltry reason to be disqualified from attaining paradise after death.

In case you don't know, non-tithers are thieves, literally....and no thief shall enter the kingdom of God.

The disadvantages of non-tithing far outweigh that of tithing.

Think about that.

Abraham, Jacob payed tithe. Paul taught about tithe in Hebrew 7.

Minlax:
I love it when people can defend their opinions with the scriptures but I also hate it when people make a bold statement to swallow up the gullible. If you are a professional you would understand that every law/principle if applied would always yield results, you can only prove the law of gravity wrong by not breaking yourself when you lift from the ground. TITHING is a principle which is not my business if you chose not to obey but its dividends are ever manifest. Even before Malachi's account, that of Abraham was there, now Christ is the head of the body and anyone who belongs to that body is under the head. Use a Tape and measure your body, your head is one tenth of your whole body. Christ came to fulfill the law, Matt. 5:17

@OP I think Matt 23:23 answers you much.. When Jesus was talkin' to the scribes and the pharisees he said they had done one and left the others (Weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy and faith KJV)... This does tell a lot...just let the spirit guide you..

This is how people twist scriptures Point of correction Abraham gave a tithe(not paid), Jacob made a conditional promise to tithe, we are not told if he ever did and paul NEVER taught about tithe in Hebrew 7 he only made a reference to it and ended up describing it as a weak, useless and unprofitable practise.

what if u finds out that tithing is not supposed to be done by christians as it is under the law and u are cast into hell for paying tithe? And as u cannot fulfil all the requirements of the law?

Trailblazer1:
@op I've been following your comments for a while an it reeks of hatred for pentecostalism.
The spontaneity at which you rush to condemn pastors especially is alarming.

Irrespective of your denomination, there are bad eggs everywhere.
I challenge you to name your denomination

Trailblazer1:


Payment of tithe, is it a good deed or an evil deed?

PastorKun:


That's because most pentecostal churches preach false man made doctrines designed to enrich themselves. That said, denominations don't matter. I owe no allegiance to any denomination, my allegiance is strictly to Christ and his wonderful gospel.

Ukutsgp:
the question is nt whether it is a good deed but if the practice is consistence with scriptures. those who pay tithe are under the mosaic law and not grace.

I put the question to you again:
Payment of tithe, is it a good deed or an evil deed?

Give me a straight answer pls.

Trailblazer1:

I beg to disagree with your use of the word 'most'. I admit that some churches are purely satanic and some are preaching false doctrines. If there is bad, then there is good.
I don't know your definition of preaching false man made doctrine.
Saying you owe no allegiance to any denomination sounds interesting, please where did you worship on Sunday?

Let's start from there.

PastorKun:


My worship of God is not restricted to a day of the week, location or denomination. I worship God in spirit and in truth.

Ukutsgp:
show me one person that payed tithe first in the new testament. Who asked u to tithe? U see u are displaying disobedience by doing what u are nt asked to do.
