Deuteronomy 14: 22-29


22 “You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year.
23 Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the LORD your God.
24 “Now when the LORD your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe.
25 If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the LORD your God has chosen.
26 When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household.
27 And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.
28 “At the end of every third year, bring the entire tithe of that year’s harvest and store it in the nearest town.
29 Give it to the Levites, who will receive no allotment of land among you, as well as to the foreigners living among you, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, so they can eat and be satisfied. Then the LORD your God will bless you in all your work.

Lol

Folks have been dodging that part ever since this debate.
Even more damning and unexplainable by the pro-tithe brigade is that you should spend the tithe on whatever your heart desires, including strong drink.

But you know our liars in chief (pastors/bishops/GOs) will never admit they are preaching a false gospel

Thank you my dear. The tithe given to the Levite were given every 3 years, but why does pastors of today demand tithe every month?

i did nt say the levite tithe is every 3 yrs oh..

it's every harvest time..

(then why do pastors collect tithe every month?)in those days most of the people were farmers, so they harvest cassava once in a yr, maize once in a yrs and so on..

bt today most people are no longer farming, some are office holders, so paying of tithe once in a month or once in a yr is still the same..
because if u choses to pay once in a yr, it's going to be 10 percent of ur annual income, which is still the same when paying monthly..

The Levite were only given the tithe of every 3 years, go and read the bible very well.
“At the end of every third year bring the tithe of all your crops and store it in your towns. This food is for the Levites, since they own no property, and for the foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your towns.” (Deu 14:28).

For the other tithe (the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th year) the tithe were meant to be feasted upon. Everybody brings their own tithe to the temple and eat it their. But since the Levite does have a tithe to feast upon God asked the people to allow the Levite join them in the feast and eat from the tithe that others brought. The Levite were not given the tithe, they were only allowed to join in the feast since they had no tithe to feast on.

For your information, in those days there were other trades, other occupation apart from farming but God didn't ask them to tithe from their occupation and never bothered tithing from their occupation. Even until the time of Jesus when people were combining farm work with other occupation, they still don't tithe from their other occupation. Paul was a tent maker and he never tithed from his occupation, Jesus' father (Joseph) was a carpenter and he never tithed from his income. Since they don't have a farm, they only tithed from their house garden. This is because God commandment was specific, He only wanted a tithe from the fruit of the land. Even those Jews who lived and farmed in other nations didn't bring a tithe to God, because it is forbidden. It must be the fruit of the promised land.

So paying tithe from your income is as we do it today is something that the early Christians would call an abomination. The apostles didn't bother preaching tithe because that would mean the newly converted Gentiles will have to go to Israel and farm in order to pay tithe. That would be so much burden for the innocent people. This is why the early Christians never preach tithe but today Christians think they are wise but they are only displaying their ignorance. If the early Christians should see us today they would laugh their hearts out, we are just too ignorant. And the worst thing is that we have caused so much confusion due to our ignorance.

Did God ever instruct that tithes be paid monetarily?


After reading Acts 15, does Tithing apply to Christians?
