Religion / Re: The Matter Of Tithing: My Personal Encounter With The Bible by Jeepi(m): 3:41pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
Why Tithing Is Not Required Today
There are seven decisive reasons for saying Christians are not required to
tithe.
1. Believers are no longer under the Mosaic covenant (Rom. 6:14–15;
7:5–6; Gal. 3:15–4:7; 2 Cor. 3:4–18).
The commands stipulated in the Mosaic covenant are no longer in force
for believers. Some appeal to the division between the civil, ceremonial,
and moral law to support tithing. Yet these divisions, I would observe, are
not the basis Paul uses when addressing how the law applies to us
today. And even if we use these distinctions, tithing is clearly not part of
the moral law. It’s true the moral norms of the Old Testament are still in
force today, and we discern them from the law of Christ in the New
Testament, but tithing is not among these commands.
2. The examples of Abraham and Jacob are not normative patterns.
Some think tithing is required because both Abraham and Jacob gave a
tenth, and they both lived before the Mosaic covenant was in place. Such
examples hardly prove tithing is for all time, however. Abraham’s gift to
Melchizedek was a one-time event; there is no evidence he regularly gave
God a tenth.
Jacob’s giving of a tenth signified his gratefulness to God for promising
to be with him and to protect him. His gratefulness and generosity still
speak to us today, but a historical description of what Jacob gave doesn’t
support the idea that all believers must give God a tenth of their income.
3. Tithes were given to the Levites and priests, but there are no Levites
and priests in the new covenant.
Levites and priests were tied to the sacrificial system of the old
covenant. Now all believers are priests (1 Pet. 2:9; Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6),
with Jesus as our Melchizedekian high priest (Heb. 7).
4. The tithe is tied to the land Israel received under the old covenant.
Israel was supposed to celebrate a tithe every three years in Jerusalem.
But that requirement cannot apply to Christians today. It related to the
Jews as a nation—to Jews who lived in the land of promise. With the
coming of Christ, the Jewish nation is no longer the locus of God’s
people, though individual Jews are part of the church through faith in
Jesus.
The earthly Jerusalem is no longer central in God’s purposes (Gal. 4:25).
Believers are part of the heavenly Jerusalem (Gal. 4:26) and look forward
to the city to come (Heb. 11:10), to the new heavens and new earth
(Rev. 21:1–22:5). Abraham isn’t heir of the land of Israel, but of the
whole world (Rom. 4:13).
5. If tithing is required today, how much should we give?
As noted above, the number was certainly more than 10 percent and
closer to 20 percent. Those who advocate tithing should probably settle
on 20 percent.
6. When Jesus affirmed the tithe, it was before the dawn of the new
covenant.
Some defend tithing by saying Jesus praised tithing, even if he said it
was less important than other things (Matt. 23:23; Luke 11:42). This
argument appears strong, but it’s not persuasive. Jesus also mentioned
offering sacrifices in the temple (Matt. 5:23–24), but Christians don’t
think—even if the temple were rebuilt—that we should do that. Our Lord’s
words are understandable when we think about his location in redemptive
history.
Jesus spoke about sacrifices and tithing before the cross and resurrection,
before the dawn of the new covenant. He used tithing and sacrifices as
illustrations when addressing his contemporaries. He kept the law since
he was “born under the law” (Gal. 4:4). But we can no more take his
words as a commendation for tithing today than we can his words about
offering sacrifices.
7. Nowhere is tithing mentioned when commands to give generously are
found in the New Testament.
When Christians are instructed to give to the poor, they aren’t
commanded to give “the poor tithe.” Instead, they are instructed to be
generous in helping those in need (Acts 2:43–47; 4:32–37; 11:27–30; Gal.
2:10; 1 Cor. 16:1–4; 2 Cor. 8:1–9:15). For example, 1 Corinthians 16:1–4
—a passage often cited in popular circles in support—doesn’t mention
tithing; it relates to a one-time gift for poor saints in Jerusalem.
Give Generously
Even though tithing isn’t required today, it does not follow that believers
should hoard their possessions.
We are commanded to support those who preach the gospel (Matt.
10:10; Luke 10:7; 1 Cor. 9:6–14; 1 Tim. 5:17–18). And while we should
enjoy the good things God gives us, we are also called to be generous to
those in need (1 Tim. 6:17–19; 2 Cor. 8–9). Wealth can so easily become
an idol, leading us to abandon the Lord.
Since God is to be our treasure, believers are to give generously and
freely. For many in the West, this will mean giving more than 10 percent.
Still, Scripture doesn’t command Christians to give a tenth—and Scripture,
not tradition, is our rule and authority. |
