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.
