Truth About Tithes by frankIzuchukwu(m): 7:07pm On Oct 22, 2017
For hundreds of years, Christians incur the wrath of God by paying and receiving tithes. Though the doctrine of tithe is popular and generally accepted in Christianity, it’s a wrong doctrine. It’s actually a sin to pay tithe and it’s equally a sin to receive tithe in Christianity.

The doctrine is generally accepted because of the misinterpretation of some tithe related scriptures.

“A misinterpretation of a scripture can lead many generations astray. In like manner, the misinterpretation of tithe related scriptures has led many Christian generations astray. Before explaining the true meaning of the scriptures, it’s important I first explain what tithe means.

What is tithe? “Tithe as an English word which means one tenth or 10 percent. Tithe in the scripture means a mandatory 10 percent of one’s increase (Deuteronomy 14:22).

How often did Israelites give Tithe?

“The tithe system had a seven-year cycle. The Israelites were mandated to give tithe on the first year, second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year and sixth year. They didn’t give tithe on the seventh year because they weren’t allowed to farm on the seventh year. It was called the Sabbath year or the sabbatical year.

On that year, they would allow the land to lie fallow (Exodus 23:10-11) (Leviticus 25:1-7). So, because they used agricultural products as tithe, they never gave tithe on the Sabbath year.

The Types of Tithe

“There were basically three types of tithe practiced by Israelites. “First, was the Levitical tithe or the first tithe (Numbers18:21-24), and it was given yearly to the Levites. This first tithe is the doctrine of tithe practiced by Christians.

“The second tithe was called the tithe of feasts. In this kind of tithe, the person tithing would eat the tithe himself at a place the Lord will choose for him This tithe was done on the first year, second year, fourth year and fifth year of the seven-year cycle (Deuteronomy 14:22-27). “The third tithe was the poor man’s tithe, which was done on the third and sixth year.

In this kind of tithe, the person tithing would give the tithe to strangers, widows, fatherless and Levites to eat and be satisfied (Deuteronomy 14:28-29).

“Amongst the three kinds of tithes, Christians wrongly practice the first one, which is also called the Levitical tithe. I will quickly show you

why it’s a sin to pay or receive tithe

in this dispensation. Why It’s a Sin to Pay or Receive Tithe “When God gave the commandment of tithe, He clearly stated who would pay the tithe; who would receive the tithe; and the purpose for receiving the tithe.

He said the tithe would be paid by Israelites (except those from the tribe of Levi). He said that only the Levites were permitted to receive tithe and also said it was for their service in the tabernacle of the congregation. God actually gave them the tithe as an inheritance (Numbers18: 21-24).

God bless your soul.
You are a true Bible scholar.

Today's tithes are a scam.
It is unbiblical, unscriptural and purely exploitative.

Foolish christians of today give to pastors and think they're giving to God.
Churches only discuss Malachi when preaching about tithes. But a wise christian should question the origins of tithes.

The Bible is clear about tithing.
Deuteronomy 14 : 22-27

Explains the process of tithing which these devilish pastors will never tell us.

Lie! Scriptures pls . God never put an end to tithe

He said the tithe would be paid by Israelites (except those from the tribe of Levi). He said that only the Levites were permitted to receive tithe and also said it was for their service in the tabernacle of the congregation. God actually gave them the tithe as an inheritance (Numbers18: 21-24).

Where you missed the foundation is in Abraham our father of faith . He was not an Israelite . Jacob tithed , he was not an Israelite . Tithe’s and offerings are ways to worship God . They have no end .

How come those advocating TITHING have NEVER been able to show us anywhere in the life of the CHURCH in the New Testament where the Christian was INSTRUCTED to tithe?

How come these same people ALWAYS run to the LAW to seek to INSTRUCT the Christian on how to live his life of GRACE?

The plain truth is that the New Testament has given the Christian instructions on HOW TO GIVE. Those who ignore these are bewitching believers and entangling them with a yoke of bondage.
