HEY PASTOR! WOULD YOU STOP LYING ABOUT TITHING! By Edwin Christiaan

Heck no! I do not cheat or rob God and I am not cursed if I don’t tithe 10% of my income to Him! That’s a bunch a baloney! The church is full of false doctrinal crap, lies and guilt trip!

All this stuff about that you must tithe in order to be blessed was only meant for the Israelites under the Old Testament Law of Moses and was never about giving money to begin with! They were farmers and ranchers who had to bring the 10th portion of their crops and livestock ONCE A YEAR to the Levites as stated in Deuteronomy 14:22 and Malachi 3:10. And this was also the case with the Pharisees who were living under the same Old Testament Law of Moses during time of Jesus on this earth. They were giving tithes of spices and herbs, even though they had money and many of them lots of it! (See Matthew 23:23)

And by the way, Abraham tithed only ONCE in his entire life! That one time, he did not tithe from his wealth or normal income, but of the spoils of war. (See Genesis 14:20) So, to try to insist that Abraham’s one time tithe on the spoils of war means that every Christian must give 10% of their regular income every month throughout their entire life is absolutely ridiculous and foolish!

When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead He ended the system of the law with its commandments and regulations! (See Ephesians 2:15)

Now His own disciple, the apostle Paul teaches in the New Testament that;

“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
