@@DavidWeeterMinistries The command to tithe was only part of the Mosaic Law, a law code that God gave to ancient Israel. Christians are not legally subject to the Mosaic Law and so are not required to tithe. (Colossians 2:13, 14) Instead, each Christian is to contribute financially "as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."--2 Corinthians 9:7. The Christian congregation forming the "Israel of God," or a nation of spiritual Israelites, differs from natural Israel. (Gal. 6:16) It has no special priestly class nor a body of sanctuary workers who cannot own land or are otherwise prevented from using their hands to the full in caring for their material needs. All the members of spiritual Israel are a "holy priesthood." (1 Pet. 2:5) Thus there is no need for the kind of material support Jehovah God outlined for natural Israel. Furthermore, the activities carried on at the sanctuary by Israel's priests and the Levites pointed to realities fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Respecting the provisions of God's law to Israel, the Bible tells us: "Those things are a shadow of the things to come, but the reality belongs to the Christ." (Col. 2:17) "Since the Law has a shadow of the good things to come, but not the very substance of the things, men can never with the same sacrifices from year to year which they offer continually make those who approach perfect." (Heb. 10:1) When the reality came into being, the functions pointing to it ceased to have any value. And tithes for supporting these functions were no longer required. The Law covenant, with its commands about tithing, was abolished on the basis of Jesus' death on the torture stake. Of this, the inspired apostle Paul wrote: "[God] blotted out the handwritten document . . . and He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake." (Col. 2:14) Hence, the command on tithing given to the Israelites cannot be used to prove that God requires this of Christians. An examination of the Christian Greek Scriptures gives no indication that members of the first-century church had to pay tithes. True, they made contributions for relief measures in behalf of needy fellow believers. They also gave assistance to elders who worked hard in speaking and teaching. At no time, though, do we read of a specific amount of income being set aside for such contributions.--Acts 11:29; Rom. 15:26; 1 Cor. 16:1-3; Phil. 4:15, 16. In the Christian Greek Scriptures the emphasis is on voluntary giving that stems from the heart. We read: "If the readiness is there first, it is especially acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what a person does not have." (2 Cor. 8:12) "Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Cor. 9:7) Manifestly, if tithing had been enjoined upon Christians, the amount would already have been determined for them by a specific command. (1 Tim. 5:17, 18) Again there is no mention of any tithe to be used in assisting elders materially. Then, too, we should not conclude from this text that any of the elders received a fixed salary. What they received were voluntary gifts from those who appreciated that the time these elders spent in behalf of the congregation could have been used by them in working for money. The apostle Paul and other faithful elders, however, did not seek after such material assistance. They worked with their hands to care for their physical needs.--1 Thess. 2:9. Thus there is no Biblical proof that early Christians considered tithing to be a divine requirement. It was such only during the time the Law covenant was in force. With the abolition of the Law, the command about tithing was also canceled. And no command to tithe was given to the Christian congregation.
These are false prophets that the bible warns us about.. they seem great.. but they are wolves in sheep clothing.. trust God, repent in Jesus Christ.. turn away from these people.. they only teach health n wealth.. they never preach the gospel.. they never tell people about hell and warm them.. if you watch them closely and read the bible.. they are only there for money.. change churches.. turn away and have knowledge of the scripture.. God bless you..
