The Curse Of The Law Of Tithing! | Institute of Love

The apostle Paul said this: “I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law.” - which included tithing 10% from HERBS and SPICES! (See Matthew 23:23) That's right, the Old Testament law of tithing was NEVER about money, even though the Pharisees were loaded with cash!!! Furthermore, Paul said: “I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault. I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.” (See Philippians 3:5-7) And what did Jesus do? He brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in His own body on the cross, He broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. HE DID THIS BY ENDING THE SYSTEM OF LAW WITH ITS COMMANDMENTS AND REGULATIONS!!! (See Ephesians 2:14-15) So now, this same apostle Paul, who was living according to the Old Testament law of tithing, teaches how New Testament born-again Christians should give their money: “YOU MUST EACH DECIDE IN YOUR HEART HOW MUCH TO GIVE.” 2. Corinthians 9:7 NLT and “On every Lord’s Day, each of you should put aside SOME AMOUNT OF MONEY in relation to what you have earned and save it for this offering.” 1. Corinthians 16:2 NLT  It's also this same apostle Paul who warned us that; “those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under His curse! Galatians 3:10 NLT
