What about Malachi 3:8-10?

Greetings neighbor, may you be enlightened by this written study which is designed to bring the Human Family Back to Scriptures (Holy Bible).

Men have robbed the Human Family of their hard-earned Finances by Teaching a False Doctrine of "Pay Ten-Percent of Income" and calling it Tithe Offering.

Let us go to the main scripture which is used to support this erroneous dogma.
Malachi 3:8-10.
Lets establish some points here.
According to Malachi 1:1 - These writings were to the Israelites NOT the Church.
Malachi 2:8 - Stumble at the Law - what Law
Law of Moses - not New Testament Law
Malachi 4:4 - Remember the Law of Moses....for whom? the Church of Christ? No! Israel
Now back to Malachi 3:8-10
Verse 8 - The people were robbing God in Tithe and Offerings.
Verse 9 - This whole nation - who is that - the Jews (Israel)
Verse 10 - Bring the Tithes into the STORE HOUSE.
The store house is where the ISRAELITES kept the tithe offering, example: Silos
The store house is not the Church.
Notice Malachi 3:6 sons of Jacob. Who are they? ISRAELITES.
Are you willing to admit that these instructions were for the Israelites not for so called Preachers today who tell you to pay ten percent of your income.
Lets find in the scripture what tithes really are because it wasn't MONEY!!

Notice Leviticus 27:30-34
Verse 30 - seed and fruit - not money
Verse 31 - add fifth part - not money
Verse 32 - herd, flock, what passes under rod - not money
Verse 33 - search whether it be good or bad
Verse 34 - Moses gave to the Israelites

Notice Numbers 18:21-26
Taken by Levites from the children of Israel
There is no scripture in the New Testament which tells the Church of Christ to pay Tithe Offerings! There is no scripture in the Old Testament or the New Testament that say the Tithe Offering was money paid to a Preacher, Church, Teacher, etc.

Lets conclude this study at Hebrews 7:5-12
Verse 5-11 - The tithes were taken by Levites according to the Law-(Law of Moses)
Verse 12 - The Priesthood changed - Law changed

Tithing is not in the New Testament scriptures for the Church. Any so called Preacher, Teacher, Pastor, elder, etc. who teaches you to pay tithes is a false teacher, making merchandise of the people and is on his way to the Lake of Fire! 2 Peter 2:1-3.

May this lesson encourage you to stop being robbed financially and sprirtually; seek the Church of Christ that meets at 320 West Chew Avenue. so that you can receive Bible Teachings on how to be a member of the only Church recognized in the Bible. You will be taught to give according to the New Testament.
